Smartwatch, what is it for?

The bracelet is made of silicone, a very comfortable material to wear and helps to compose the smartwatch's minimalist look.

Among the functionalities of the sensors is the ability to monitor physical activities, counting steps and heart rate, measuring the user's mood - offering tools to calm anxiety through breathing, sleep monitoring and other features that can be activated later, such as reminders and health data.

How is the use on a daily basis? Comfortable?

It was two weeks testing the smartwatch Haylou Solar Plus RT3 and of course I took the opportunity to monitor my activities at the gym and set up some work reminders.

Despite having found the bezel a little big for my thin wrist, this aspect does not bother and the device is not heavy, so the watch is comfortable and easy to forget. I also didn't feel any heat or overload even after a period of continuous use monitoring activities such as gym training or a few minutes on the phone.

Yes, it is possible to make calls with the watch synchronizing via Bluetooth 5.3; the audios of both the user and those on the other side sound very loud and clear even in the busiest environments. Alerts and reminders also do not go unnoticed, I really liked it.

Haylou's smartwatch is equipped with a series of interesting applications that make it possible to listen to music, start the stopwatch, check the weather forecast, do calculations on the calculator and even monitor the menstrual cycle. And for those who like personalization, the Haylou Solar Plus RT3 has more than 100 Watch Faces — the branded wallpapers.

battery, specs

The 280mAh battery leaves something to be desired when comparing Haylou's smartwatch with more premium models, but for the price, you can take into account that it was not made to be mega powerful. There were 7 days of battery in continuous and daily use, testing all the features that the smart watch has to offer, but in common use the smartwatch Solar Plus RT3 it can stay up to 20 days out of the socket, according to brand information.

Opinion

The Haylou Solar Plus RT3 is an entry-level smartwatch model designed and developed for those who are having their first experience with smart watches or who cannot afford sophisticated devices full of features that are often not even used. It does what it sets out to do well and leaves nothing to be desired in almost any aspect.

I think a longer-lasting battery and slightly smaller bezel design would please some users more, myself included. The bracelet may not fit all wrist sizes well; I particularly suffered a little in this regard because I have a thin arm and the watch ends up looking like a flashy bracelet at times.

In addition, it is a great device that, even though it is entry-level, fits well with different audiences and consumers, offering many of the practicalities that a smartwatch can offer.
