No.1 is a Chinese phone maker, yes, but we doubt that many of you have heard of this name. Normally, they make phones, which are not very popular to that of Xiaomi or Huawei. Moreover, their phones are of the rugged side of the market. Their products aim at users who’d prefer tough and long lasting, cheap phones. Smart watches are also one of their target fields. Today, we are going to give you a review of one of their smart watches: No.1 Sun S2.

No.1 Sun S2 is one of the new products of this company that aim more towards beauty and luxury. For the Sun in its name, this means No.1 Sun S2 display has a round shape, instead of normal square shaped screen on earlier and other smart watches.

So, just like the name, we can see that the round shape of No.1 Sun S2 look like the Sun, and the details on the bezel ring symbolize the sunrays. The company really sticks to their concept but still gives No.1 Sun S2 users feeling of a real watch. As for the material, the watch is made completely of metal, so at least you won’t feel like you’re wearing a cheap smart device.

Taking a closer look, we see that there are up to 3 watch faces to interact with. One is a traditional clock face with Roman numbers, while the second is Arabic numbers. The 3^rd watch face on No.1 Sun S2 display, apart from the virtual traditional Roman numbers and the clock hands for your time watching, there is a “flat tire” housing some of the watch’s sensors. Beneath the display is a plastic back that covers four charging pins. You can also see the “Made in China” typical line there.

The big biometer sensor in the middle of the back cover.

The watch band is removable from dial, so if you don’t like the original watch band, you can always replace it with your customized one.

You can change the watch band between stainless steel or leather. Moreover, on the right side of the dial you will see a button, which acts as a camera. The No.1 Sun S2 camera is only 1.3MP though, and of course you cannot expect much from a smart watch to capture photo. Some users may wonder why they put such a camera that probably won’t be used there.

Like most other Android wear, this smart watch needs to be connected to a smart phone in order to get its features to the fullest. When you swipe along the screen, the interface changes between the three watch faces.

Nonetheless, besides the good points, the watch also has some inconvenient things to note. Since No.1 Sun S2 display is a touch screen, of course you need to use your fingers to tap and draw apps. That would cost a lot of time, considering it is a smart watch. Just think of this: you need to read the time  or your heart rate quick, but you need to swipe a few times, plus getting stuck since the display is a bit lower than the bezel, would you feel satisfied? Moreover, it needs to pair with your smartphone for best function, and you have to download an app.

However, a lot of sensors integrated on this No.1 Sun S2 are interesting, and is very awesome if you are on health training. Additionally, if you want a smart phone that look good, No.1 Sun S2 is a choice. No.1 Sun S2 price is $62 (RM243), quite affordable compared to other smartwatch, with free shipping.
