As a keen runner ( nothing else ) i have to disagree regarding the watches i have tested. Tracking has not been a problem for me. I usually find over a 10k run vs Samsung S9 the difference is usually a quarter of a mile out at the most. Humidity / sweat are my issues.

Ticris Max S - perfect
Lemfo Lem12 rusted sim tray
Genesis - air and sweat destroyed it in one run
O2 - moisture in camera / boot loop
P2 - moisture in camera / boot loop
The list goes on…

Hello All,

First of all many thanks for your suggestions.

I’ve made an list of the Watches you mentioned (only the round ones, sorry Dr_Andy_Vishnu).
I see two things, first of all, not all watches has the PAR2822 processor.
And the 2nd one, the amount of memory is different.

Then again I like a newer Adroid version to stay compatible longer with apps.
The LEM16 has the difficult processor, meaning Android 10.7 will by my first choice.

Then I think the 4GB RAM can give better performance than 2GB.
Meaning I’m back to Kospet :wink: or the LEM15

What do you think, is his the best way to go?
And is the 2nd Chip (PAR2822) as handy as they say?
I can’t run with it using my favourite running App, do I?

My Current Watch Display CPU RAM ROM Android
Kospet Prime 1.6 MT6739 1GB 16GB 7.1.1
Replacement Type CPU RAM ROM Android
Lokmat Appllp 7 1.6 SC9832e + PAR2822 2GB 16GB 9.1
Kospet Prime S 1.6 SC9832e + PAR2822 1GB 16GB 9.1
Lokmat Appllp 9 1.43 MT6737 + PAR2822 2GB 16GB 10.1
Kospet Optimus 2 1.6 MT6762 + PAR2822 4GB 64GB 10.7
Kospet Prime 2 1.6 MT6762 + PAR2822 4GB 128GB 10.7
LEM15 1.6 MT6762 4GB 128GB 10.7
LEM16 1.6 UMS312 + PAR2822 6GB 128GB 11.

These 2 are identical watches BUT different stores the latest which still is working i bought directly from the manufacturer store.
My first lokmat 7 i bougjt on May 17th 2022 and the latest i bought on
October 25th 2022. True i had in older FAWs moisture and corrosion problems and the same happend with my first lokmat 7, still working just the charging pins got so damaged that i couldn’t charge it anymore and open it wasnt a success either, so i gave up and bought a new one, why cos i live in a country that most of the year humidity is 70% and never had issue with the watch. See the differences in the photo of both devices, same usage.


Im not suggesting which watch to buy cos i dont have A11 watch or even A10 the advanced devices but im not willing to take a risk with 200USD purchase which with my usage can damage the pins again and i cant do nothing as there arent parts for sale.
These 2 examples just show that same usage on both devices resulted differently.
These watches are still far from being perfect but what we have today is,way better than the time of A5 and A7 watches.
I have the Kospet Prime which still working but it is way behind my lokmat 7 and 9 in many aspects.

@Edwin_Mennes you won’t need to put your watch in sport mode and i understood it just kind of gimic. In my opinion the Optimus if it wasnt that bulky and with no camera on top that would have been my next choice after A9 watch.

@Edwin_Mennes
I would definitely recommend buying from the official brand store in any case.
The reason is simple - after sales support.

We have linked with the following brands to provide valid support:
Kospet
Lokmat
Lemfo
With Lokmat, there are several products that we can’t support or recommend.
In your list, both the APPLLP 7 & 9 are not supported.
Both of these - because Lokmat decided that they should not be supported.

If you have any questions or concerns, please send me a PM (message) and I will answer.
The general advice remains:

  1. if you want a fitness / sport monitoring watch - grab a BT watch like the Kospet Tank or similar. Just remember that these require you to join a Chinese cloud service and install a phone app.
  2. if you want a reliable rectangular watch with Android system functions, @Dr_Andy_Vishnu choice is perfect. It is sold with Android 7 but our partners in China have allowed us to share the Android 10 version with our members.
  3. if you want the same Android experience in a round watch, @G1NT0N1C choice is the best option.
    Running an 8 core Android 10 solution with a large ram allocation and storage capacity, it is a solid product.

No Full Android Watch could be classified as waterproof.
Some are more resistant than others, but despite any advertising, they are not waterproof.

Cheers

Hi, I use the LEMFO LEM15 for running twice a week, I listen to music with DEEZER for the streamed music via Internet ( data on) and JABRA earphones in Bluetooth. So you need a SIM card. For an hour, the battery leakage is around 40%, I always put a strap between my skin and the watch to avoid moisture and it works fine.

Have you tried the Lemfo LEMP model??
Also known as DM30.

In my opinion, it’s a really GREAT watch and the natural evolution of yours.

Sorry, but the LEM P is not the successor to the LEM15. I wouldn’t really recommend the LEM P to anyone. Rather the LEM 16.

I’m completely agree with you, Sonia.

This watches are perfect as you’ve said, I don’t understand the bad comments about them.

Just wanna say, I’ve seen A LOT of smartwatches and full Android watches videos and testings on my last two years and I perfectly know what your talking about.

I was mentioning it as of kospet prime successor.

And I’ve already mentioned on other post the specifications about what I think on that way. I’ll paste them there in a few minutes.

Here you can see my arguments, I hope they help you choosing best option for you:

-What is the best Full Android Watch on the market? - #11 by Claudio_Alejandro

I just laughed when I readded than this watches aren’t recommended for sports, look at the pictures below, was taken by myself and the GPS precision was the same as my moto g60s smartphone:

The LEM P has an android 9 operating system which has some unresolved issues. Of all the operating systems available for Fullandroid watches, this is definitely the worst choice. I would even prefer a watch with Android 7.
One of the problems is that most apps stop working when the screen is off. This is done to protect the battery, which is too small, and cannot be remedied.
If you think you want to take a stand for the LEM P, you should not fail to mention such serious problems.

It’s the first time I heard that problem. Honestly. But that you’re doing mention it’s referred to the auto task cleaning app, which can be easily turned off, or you can also select inside it for witch apps do you want to keep turned off/on (just like I do actually), it’s not an A9 problem, or an Lemp problem at all.

And the Lemp battery is 1050 mAh, it gives me one day and a half or two days on normal use, and up to three days on airplane mode.
Doing sports I get about six hours of intense use, believe me I know perfectly well this watch haha :laughing:

Oh yes, I also know this watch well. But it’s not a love affair. for example, it can easily happen that you brick it. In this case it’s difficult with this watch to get it working again.
I could send you a watchface that would instantly turn the LEM P into a brick. I don’t know this problem from any other watch.

Please don’t get me wrong, it’s ok that you like it. If it works for you, I’m very happy. But other users should know that there are also problems with this watch.

It could happen, why not. But, like I had said before, is really annoying or not recommended that a single user wish to run into problems trying to reflash an smartwatch or doing strange things without advanced knowledges about it.

If the smartwatch runs well, I didn’t try it even. And that’s just what I do. Try not to get in problems doing things that I don’t handle well over expensive devices. My watch runs perfect, I have 3rd apps like WhatsApp, Spotify, YouTube, YouTube music, Google meet, calculator, one calendar, authenticator, calculator, Google assistant, SoundHound, Maps… And a few more, and everything’s working fine… Rooting or flashing new firmware I could never try really… It’s like say than an smartphone is bad just because it can’t be easily reflashed…

The comments made towards sports usually refer to moisture etc not Gps reliability / accuracy

Thanks so much for your advices and knowledgments, I’ll keep on mind when buying that great watch.
(Actually looking for an upgrade to my old Kospet Prime too)

I think it is better to wait and see if sonething new comes out.
Btw, i have a10 watch and a9 and so far my main watch is a9 and with sweat and dirt, bomping to things and it still works perfectly, yes i had watches that got danahed after short usage because of corrosion from sweat, but this one surpried me. My ideal watch will be one with esim, no cemras and different colors not just black:/

Yeah still keeps pending FAWs watches for women. It’s a MUST BE.
The actually designs from all FAWs had been from worst to better but there’s still a way to go.

Yes, it’s disappointing that there are no feminine Android watches worth buying :frowning:
The main reason for this is that it is even more expensive to fit the solution into a smaller, thinner case and they just do not sell very well. Sadly there are just not enough customers who want them.

In the old days of the D5, X3 etc, they were quite small, but as the screen was so small it was almost impossible to use properly and voice control with a BT Headset or google assistant was the only real way to use them.
The other two major problems were very short battery life and overheating.

So the reality is that a1.45" screen is probably the smallest size that works, but unless a good battery is used, the power runs down too quickly.

The reason why we don’t see any different colour watches much these days is because they always ended up with some that just did not sell.
So they mostly stick to simple black, grey or silver now.

If I find anything, I will let you know.
