The HW26 Plus Smartwatch features a modern and elegant design that is somewhat similar to the Apple Watch Series 6 with slight differences from the W506 Smartwatch. It’s designed in a square shape with a 2.5D curved screen on the sides, and a rotatable button works for change watch faces, page-turning, zoom in/out, and there is another button to turn on-off or back, And just below the button, you’ll find the microphone, addition of holes in the left part, which is the built-in speaker.

Overall, The body is slim and light made of high-quality aluminum alloy with 44mm large size and 13mm thickness and lightweight of not more than 50g, which makes it comfortable on the wrist. Also, it comes in 5 colors the same as the strap that I will mention shortly. Although it’s a budget smartwatch, you will notice the manufacturing quality is high and even the Apple-inspired design is amazing it’s one of the best smartwatches clones for the series 6.

Display Screen

The screen in HW26 Plus Smartwatch is my favorite type, it’s a large 1.75 inch IPS screen, and 2.5D curved to display better content and details, and because it has a resolution of 320*385 pixels with a high refresh rate. This is what makes it one of the best screens in a budget smartwatch in terms of size and resolution, even the sharpness of colors and brightness are so good, especially when you wear them in the sunlight you won’t be alarmed by them.

w506-smartwatch-review

In fact, the reason to make this type of screen my favorite, because this screen is large and takes over most of the interface, and with narrow sides, and this is only found in smartwatches with higher costs. This is in contrast to other inexpensive smartwatches that contain a touch screen, which comes in the middle of the screen and has rather wide sides.

HW26 Plus Watch faces

In terms of Watch faces, HW26 Plus Smartwatch has many different pre-installed watch faces, you can switch between them easily in many ways, by the rotatable button or via the FunDo Pro app for over 50 online watch faces are available for download with customization capabilities for a variety of colors, retro, analog, 3D, and digital faces or you can even use live wallpaper or your own photos as a watch face background or any wallpaper.

HW26 Plus Waterproof

With IP67 waterproof in HW26 Plus Smartwatch, It means you can wear it while washing hands or on rainy days, although the watch is not approved for swimming but is good for wearing for activities, so, I do not recommend swimming or exposing it to hot water or saltwater to avoid any harm Long or short term and with the presence of a speaker and a microphone, avoiding it will be good, however, if it’s exposed to water in any way, I prefer to dry the watch after immersing it in water and before operating it so that it stays with you for as long as possible.

Under The Hood

When it comes to performance, HW26 Plus Smartwatch adopts the built-in MTK-2502C chip for faster response speed and faster data processing, and it is powered by 128MB ROM so that the watch can be equipped with more watch faces. For your health, this device has a SC7A20 Heart Rate Sensor and G-sensor, so this wearable device manages your motion every moment and takes good care of you throughout the day.

This watch has Bluetooth 4.0 and V3.0 supports Bluetooth calls. Even though this version is kind of old you will not face any problems with it, but it’s not the fastest and most stable. And this version is compatible with Android 5.0 and later or iOS 10.0 and above so that the connection is through the FunDo Pro app. However, it does not have its own GPS sensor, which means that you will always have to use it with a smartphone to get your location.

Although it has a SC7A20 good sensor that is more accurate than other sensors, this does not mean that the measurements provided by this smartwatch are completely accurate, as most of them are largely unreliable because it’s not a medical instrument, but it makes you very aware of your health and physical performance. unfortunately, this is often the case with watches in this price range.
