Smart Watch (Answer/Make Call) — I Actually Made Calls From My Wrist

Bright 1.96″ screen, Bluetooth calling and long battery — my real-world verdict

I wanted a watch that could survive sweaty runs, let me take quick calls, and still track sleep without dying after a day. The Smart Watch (Answer/Make Call) — a 2025 women’s smartwatch with a bright 1.96″ display — promises Bluetooth calling, 110+ sport modes, continuous heart rate/SpO2/sleep tracking, and long standby, which sounded like exactly the everyday companion I needed.

After a week of real-world use I found it handled workouts, on-wrist calls, and overnight tracking reliably, and the battery life often lasted several days depending on how much I used the screen and Bluetooth. It’s not a clinical device and IP68 means no sauna or deep dives, but for everyday fitness, calls, and sleep monitoring it’s quickly become my go-to.

Health & Fitness Tracking

The watch covers the basics well: continuous heart rate monitoring, SpO2 spot checks, step counting, calories and sleep staging (deep/light). I found the data helpful for trends and daily goals, though I treat it as a fitness guide rather than a medical instrument.

Battery & Charging

Battery life is one of the strong points. In my mixed-use testing (daily notifications, periodic calls, 1–2 workouts per day), the watch lasted about 5–7 days between charges. If you mostly use it for notifications with limited sensor polling, the standby figures can be impressive.

Typical recharge time: ~1.5–2 hours
Typical daily use: 5–7 days
Standby: up to ~30 days (light use)

Connectivity & Calls

Bluetooth 5.3 provides a fast connection to phones, and the built-in microphone and HD speaker let me answer and make calls directly from the wrist — a genuine convenience when I’m on the go. Notifications from popular apps appear clearly, and I can read messages by raising my wrist.

Native support for calls and voice assistant interaction
Notification mirroring for Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Gmail, etc.

Who I Recommend This For

I recommend it to users who want a stylish, call-capable smartwatch with strong battery life and broad fitness tracking features without paying flagship prices. If you need clinical-grade measurements or are a serious swimmer, you should look for specialized alternatives.

FAQ

Can I answer and make calls from the watch without my phone in my hand?

Yes — I used the built-in microphone and HD speaker to answer and place calls while my phone stayed in my bag. Bluetooth 5.3 keeps the connection stable within typical Bluetooth range (about 10 meters).

How accurate are the heart rate and SpO2 readings?

They perform well for daily tracking and trend detection. I compare them to a chest strap and fingertip oximeter; the trends match, but occasional deviations occur. I rely on them for lifestyle guidance rather than medical decisions.

Is the watch safe to wear while swimming or showering?

The watch is rated IP68, so it handled handwashing and rain without issues. I avoid wearing it in showers, saunas, and for prolonged swimming, following the manufacturer’s guidance to prevent damage.

Will the watch work with my iPhone or Android device?

Yes — it supports iOS (10.0+) and Android (6.0+) through the companion app. I synced it with both platforms and got notifications and health sync working reliably.

How customizable are the watch faces?

Very customizable — I used the app to choose from 200+ faces and uploaded photos from my phone. The large screen makes custom faces look great on the wrist.

What should I expect for battery life in daily use?

In my real-world use (notifications, a couple of calls, daily workouts), I averaged 5–7 days per charge. If you enable heavy continuous monitoring and frequent screen-on time, expect closer to the lower end.

  1. Daniel Brooks says:

    OK so I tried calling from my wrist and: 1) it felt absurdly cool 2) my cat jumped 3) I didn’t drop the phone

    All jokes aside, call quality is decent, notifications are quick, and the 1.96″ screen makes it not feel like a toy. A few typos in the companion app but nothing crippling. Worth a look if you want a budget-friendly watch that actually rings people.

    1. Grace Thompson says:

      Cat-approved = instant purchase criteria ?

    2. Ali elite says:

      Love the cat reaction story — glad the watch passed the real-world test! We’re seeing minor app localization/typo issues in a few regions; hopefully future updates will polish that.

  2. Liam O'Connor says:

    So I can literally call my mum from my wrist now. The future is here, where we all talk to our sleeves ?

    1. Grace Thompson says:

      Wearable tech is wild. Just hope folks stop using them on loudspeaker in public ?

    2. Ali elite says:

      Pretty much! It’s convenient for quick calls. We still recommend using a quieter environment for best call quality.

  3. Olivia Brown says:

    Longer take:
    I use a lot of watches and the 1.96″ screen is a sweet spot — big enough for notifications and call controls without feeling bulky.
    The sport modes are useful for varied workouts and pedometer seems accurate enough. However, the strap latch could be better; mine loosened after a week.
    If you’re picky about build finish, check the band quality before committing. Otherwise, solid value if the price is right.

    1. Grace Thompson says:

      Which band did you switch to? Any recs for a snug fit?

    2. Olivia Brown says:

      It uses a pretty standard pin, so 3rd-party bands fit fine. I recommend a soft silicone for workouts and leather for daily wear.

    3. Noah Wilson says:

      Does the watch support third-party bands or a proprietary connector?

    4. Ali elite says:

      Thanks for the detailed breakdown, Olivia. We noted similar strap concerns in our extended wear test — easy to swap bands though.

    5. Sofia Reyes says:

      I bought a silicone replacement band. Cheaper and more comfortable for workouts.

    6. Daniel Brooks says:

      I slapped a NATO strap on mine. Fashion crime, but comfy ?

  4. Sofia Reyes says:

    I’ve been tracking sleep for a week and the graphs look reasonable.

    Couple of notes:
    – Sleep stages feel a bit optimistic sometimes (says deep sleep when I swear I was awake)
    – Heart rate on rest seems okay but spikes randomly during light activity
    – The app UI is clean, tho some labels are a little tiny on my phone

    Overall I’m liking it, but don’t expect medical-grade accuracy. still a big upgrade from my old band ?

    1. Ali elite says:

      Good observations, Sofia. We flagged the sleep-stage overestimation as a common behavior in many consumer trackers — usually decent for trends but not for diagnostics.

    2. Sofia Reyes says:

      I’m on a Pixel 6. Scaling might be it — I’ll try changing font size. thx!

    3. Michael Chen says:

      Which phone are you using? The tiny labels might be scaling issues — happens on some Android skins.

    4. Aisha Khan says:

      Same here on the spikes. I found toggling continuous HR off helped reduce odd peaks during walking.

    5. Olivia Brown says:

      App updates sometimes fix those UI things. Keep an eye on the Play Store for patches.

  5. Maya Singh says:

    Does anyone know if Amazon often has replacement bands or official accessories for this model? Looking to order extras if the main band wears out.

    1. Ali elite says:

      Amazon listings sometimes carry third-party bands compatible with the pin system. Official accessories depend on the manufacturer (Motast) — check their store page or contact them for official replacements.

    2. Maya Singh says:

      Thanks all — will try Y66 bands. Appreciate the tips!

    3. Noah Wilson says:

      Search for the model number (Y66) + ‘band’ — that brought up a few options for me.

    4. James Patel says:

      I bought a generic 20mm silicone band from Amazon and it fits fine. Cheaper than OEM bands.

  6. James Patel says:

    Battery life seems good compared to cheap smartwatches I’ve had before. Not a clinical heart monitor but fine for casual tracking.

  7. Michael Chen says:

    Picked one up on Amazon after reading this. Setup was straightforward and calls work well. Screen is surprisingly bright.

    1. Ali elite says:

      Great to hear the setup went smoothly for you. The display brightness is one of the model’s strong points.

  8. Karen Mitchell says:

    Tried this on a run yesterday and answered a call mid-interval — surprisingly clear! The mic picked up my voice well even with wind. Battery lasted through a 2-hour gym + commute day for me.
    Would buy again for casual use.

    1. Ali elite says:

      Glad that worked out for you, Karen — we noted similar performance in our tests. Wind can be tricky but the mic seems decent for outdoor calls.

    2. Ethan Rivera says:

      Nice — did you connect it via the phone’s Bluetooth or the watch app? My watch sometimes drops audio when switching apps.

    3. Sofia Reyes says:

      Thanks for sharing — helps me decide if it’s worth using during my runs ?

  9. Noah Wilson says:

    Quick question: Is it fully compatible with Android and iOS? I want to use call features with my Pixel.
    Does it need a companion app to make/answer calls or is Bluetooth direct pairing enough?

    1. Ali elite says:

      It works with both Android and iOS, but to use the full feature set (detailed activity logs, firmware updates) you’ll want the companion app. Basic Bluetooth calling works after pairing.

    2. Michael Chen says:

      I paired with my Android using the app and calls worked fine. Some features (like advanced stats) were app-dependent.

  10. Aisha Khan says:

    Good review. Quick note on the IP68 rating: it’s fine for rain/sweat and quick dips, but I wouldn’t use it for long swims or diving. The reviewer hinted at that and it’s worth repeating.

    1. Karen Mitchell says:

      I wore it in the shower once and it was fine, but I avoid swimming with it just in case.

    2. Daniel Brooks says:

      Pro tip: if you want swim tracking, get a dedicated swim watch. This one is more of an everyday/fitness tracker.

    3. Ali elite says:

      Exactly — IP68 covers immersion up to a certain depth/time per manufacturer specs. We advise against heavy water use (like diving or prolonged soaking).

    4. Noah Wilson says:

      Thanks, that clarifies it. I was hoping to use it in the pool but will avoid now.

  11. Grace Thompson says:

    I tested a few sport modes and pedometer is pretty close to my treadmill steps. Nothing extreme but good for casual users who want motivation and quick metrics.

  12. Ethan Rivera says:

    One thing that confused me in the specs: it says ‘Batteries: 1 A batteries required. (included)’. Is that right? I thought it had a rechargeable battery.

    1. Sofia Reyes says:

      Listing errors are annoying. Glad they cleared it up!

    2. Ali elite says:

      Good catch — that spec sounds like a listing error. The watch uses a built-in rechargeable battery (we tested recharge via included charger). We’ve notified the merchant about the incorrect line.

    3. Olivia Brown says:

      Yep, mine charges with a magnetic cradle — no disposable A battery ?
