Design And Build Quality

ZD8 Ultra Max Plus clearly shares some features and designs with the previous versions of the ZD8 Ultra Max. It runs the same operating system and works with the same combination of a crown and a side button and a quick action button. That said, the biggest and most meaningful improvement with this Ultra, in my opinion, is the display and high accuracy in building and similarity to the original. This Clone of the Apple Watch Ultra comes with an orange button on the left side of its case for the Multitasking bar and with a speaker grill and microphones to make calls also has a protrusion on the side of the crown and the side button for the Multi-Sport Modes.

However, it brings a modern and elegant design that makes you want to wear it as an accessory not to mention its functionalities, the new Apple-inspired design is fantastic it’s one of the best new smartwatch clones of Apple Watch Ultra. So the shape is as usual a square with a 2.2-inch screen and flat not 2.5D curved on the sides like Series 8 clones. Despite being a budget smartwatch, the Ultra Max Plus feels sturdy yet comfortable, looks elegant, and gives a premium vibe. So, the build quality is high and can be seen through the body, which is slim and light and made of high-quality Stainless Steel with a matt finish and silver color. The dimensions are perfect with a 49mm 1:1 Case which makes it the most exact copy of the original and weighs more than 65g, which makes it comfortable on the wrist.

From underneath there is the sensor responsible for all the health and sports features on the device and as a new gear upgrade, With four screws on the back, it is more competitive. And as usual, the metal ring is responsible for wireless magnetic charging. And finally, on the sides, there are two lock buttons for the strap.

The strap is one of the important things to complete the overall look of the watch, that’s why it is made of silicone, it’s lightweight and comfortable on your wrist for long-lasting use. And because it’s removable you can use any 44/45mm belt and is available in the colors silver, black, and orange, with two types Alpine Loop or Ocean Band. And an additional choice you can buy another from metal or leather.

Display Screen

On the other hand, ZD8 Series has invested heavily in the most important aspect of the smartwatch which is the amazing display quality. This is what makes the screen in ZD8 Ultra Max Plus Watch my favorite type by a large 2.2-inch IPS flatter display to better protect it from dings and scratches, and because it is larger than other smartwatches being one of the few smartwatch clones that are the same size as the apple watch Ultra, but it’s not the best in this category, as the HK8 Ultra Max with AMOLED display. The images displayed on the screen are clear thanks to the high resolution of 520*585 pixels and a high pixel density of 320 PPI. And with an extremely narrow bezel, the display area is increased by about 10%.

While using the Ultra Max Plus smartwatch, will provide you with the best experience you can possibly get on budget devices, special thanks to the color accuracy and sharpness, the image is clear and rich even under direct sunlight. you’ll be able to use your smartwatch with ease whether you want to read notifications or check your health stats, you won’t need to get your phone out of your pocket. Definitely, it’s the best screen in a budget smartwatch in terms of size and resolution. The screen also provides 2 always-on screen dials which we usually only find in OLED screens, but this time they made it available here despite the technological obstacle ( Similar to the always-on display not the same).

And as I always say, the reason makes this type of screen is my favorite is that large and takes over most of the interface, and with narrow sides, and this is only found in smartwatches with higher costs, It’s the closest to an Apple Watch Ultra. I personally prefer this screen over others and would love to see it used more.

Multiple Watch Faces

ZD Series has made a concerted effort to tailor the plethora of watch faces included on the ZD8 Ultra Max Plus that’s why brings you 8 different pre-installed watch faces to choose from, you can switch between them easily in many ways, by rotating the button or via the ZORDAI app for more watch faces with over 500 online watch faces are available for download and it’s included a variety of colors, retro, analog, 3D, and digital faces, or you can even use your own photos as a watch face background or any wallpaper and have the possibility of customization. More importantly, it includes the latest and exclusive watch faces for Apple Watch Series 8 and Ultra. So yes, you will not miss the fun.

Now Ultra Max Plus has added a new feature called watch face lock, so you can lock the watch face you like in the settings. And then the watch face won’t be altered if you rotate the digital crown.

Waterproof

On the whole, it’s a really good-looking watch and doesn’t feel too obtrusive, thanks to its sleek profile. Having IP68 Waterproof which it means can only handle sweat and splashes of water, 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

While everything looks the same to the naked eye, the ZD8 Ultra Max Plus has some significant changes under the hood. it comes with a built-in RTK8762DK chip for faster response speed and faster data processing and is paired with 128MB of storage for storing contacts, watch faces, notifications, and more. The sensor on this device is the Heart Rate and G-sensor, it’s one of the best in this market and is known for giving good results and will help you take better care of your health and encourage you to work out more.

And this version is compatible with Android 5.0 and later or iOS 10.0 and above so the connection is through the ZORDAI 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.

AI Voice Assistant

Al voice assistant algorithm in Ultra Watch allows you to give voice commands in order to perform some specific task or to ask your queries. Moreover, the smartwatch comes with an integrated speaker which helps you interact with your AI assistant in two-way voice communication, which is convenient and quick.

So, When reaching home, the watch is your access control, Raise your wrist to open the door quickly.

First, once inside swipe down from the top the access a Control Center where you can enable Bluetooth Phones, flashlights, AliPay for Chinese users, Sports, NFC, Weather, about, Sound Mode, Settings, and more.

Although it has a 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.

How To Pair The ZD8 Ultra Max Plus

For you to enjoy the many benefits of your ZD8 Ultra Max Plus, you would have to connect it to a support app. The recommended app is the Wearfit Pro app which has loads of beneficial features to keep you fit and healthy, and it’s compatible with Android and iOS, so you would need to download it on your mobile phone.

I found the app perfect through the features and settings equipped which include watch faces, wallet, business card, notifications, health reminders, NFC, and more settings like adding favorite contact lists.

Bluetooth Calling Function On ZD8 Ultra Max Plus

Unlike other smartwatches that only notify you when a call arrives, One of the most attention-grabbing highlights of the X8 Ultra is the ability you can answer your smartphone calls directly from the smartwatch. Just sync them via Bluetooth 5.0 and, as soon as you receive a call, click on the button that will appear on your watch’s screen to answer it.
it’s equipped with an integrated microphone and a speaker, with the former serving up surprisingly clear sound that can be heard over general din (such as road noise), making it usable, As for the microphone, it’s mainly used for on-wrist calls or, if you’re paired to a smartphone.

ZD8 Ultra Max Plus Battery Life & Charging Time

As an added advantage, the animation while charging the watch was very cool and vibrant and it would be switching between horizontal and vertical screens.

Final Verdict

This watch certainly lives up to its moniker, and will undoubtedly be hard to exclude from our list of the best budget smartwatches. it’s a new clone of the Apple Watch Ultra to make it stand out from the rest of the smartwatches in the market and to break from the usual and might be the ultimate smartwatch. But, The Series 8 Clone and Ultra Clone can look quite similar, even though they work very similarly except for the orange side button and flat screen.

For the time being, there is nothing better than the Ultra Max Plus to give you an experience that is closer to the Apple Watch Ultra in terms of screen, and even the new update software was more than great to break out of the familiar atmosphere of the rest of the versions such as Multitasking bar, 2 games, new 2 standby dials, Independent ringtones. Even the rest of the features were more than satisfactory, and this includes the overall performance and smooth navigation of the system as well as the battery which was good. Therefore, it is one of the most accurate clone watches that we have seen.
