KAVVO Oyster Mini 38mm Bluetooth Smartwatch for Women, 1.1” Delicate AMOLED Always-On Display, Rotating Bezel, Fitness Tracker with Female Health, Heart Rate Blood Oxygen Monitor(Ceramic White)

Works really well with my Pixel phone running Android 11
Update: August 28, 2023Working perfectly and battery life remains excellent easily lasting 5 days. I got a few tiny nicks in the glass because I wear it while doing construction tasks at work so I may add a screen protector. Main benefit is fashion – it looks like a smart watch without the cost along with reminders to get up and move and drink water.I started researching watches a few months ago and I didn’t realize Apple watch only works on iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy watch no longer works on iPhone since switching to WearOS. I’ve been thinking about moving to iPhone in the fall and want a watch that car run on android or ios. I purchased this watch because of the rotating bezel but I didn’t know until I received it that it doesn’t do anything.I also wanted a watch that can go more than one day without charging.Key features for me:1. Health reminder to get up and move.2. Time, date, day of week on the same screen.3. Light and comfortable.4. Not interested in sleep tracking and most watches need to be charged so can’t be worn at night.PROS:- App is easy to use, very clean and provides essential functions like ability to switch from metric to Imperial units – except temp in in C vs F.- Touch Screen works great and uses the same swipe gestures as google’s WearOS. Visible even in direct sunlight when set to 4/5 brightness level.Touch Screen Protected by the rotating glow-in-the-dark bezel.Navigation is fast with ZERO lag. Watch faces take about 1 minute to download and install.Battery life is 3 days plus. Remember, Apple watch and Samsung Gear watches #1 complaint is barely a day of battery life and that is when thewatch is new, as it ages you will struggle to get through a single day.Does what most smart watches do including requiring the app for downloading new watch faces or uploading workout stats.Uses the same magnetic 2 pin charging cable that most watches use and the magnet only sticks when the cable is in the correct position.Lots of watch faces free download – 50+ Turn the button on the side and they change instantly – however the watch can only store 5 faces.compatible with google’s fitness app if you login to it.- Customization of key features: how long the display stays on, and lift to wake and custom amount of time for each – 5 seconds when you press button to wake and 3 seconds for wake to lift an abilty to turn off lift to wake for better battery life.- Zero freezes and I did not notice the kind of problems that plague many smart watches.- Notifications from phone messages no delay.PROS:- has a microphone and allows taking calls on the watch. Can answer the call and hang up.CONS:- Lacks adaptive brightness – outside you will need the screen to be at full brighness and I would love it if it was brighter and was able to boostbrightness.- Reminders: Drink water, get up from sitting etc. The watch vibrates and if you don’t check right away you miss the notification and there is no way to get it back. It should require being dismissed for a few minutes. No special vibration for you to distinguish between water / movement reminders and everything else – text messages, calendar, etc.- Notifications: fb messenger chat head / bubbles often fail to display notifications on the watch until you click the chat head on you phone then the messages come through. Also, all messages are in the same list so you can just scroll through fb or text messages.- Calculator – I can add and multiply but there is no = button and I still have not figured how how to display the results.- Steps is not accurate – same as other most watches because a watch can’t really whether the movement is walking or just moving your arm. Be aware that the more “smart” a watch is and the more sensors it has the heavier it needs to be and the shorter the battery life.- No ability to redefine watch buttons or custom taps on screen, etc.- AOD – no always on display but even watches that can do that it must be disabled because the watch won’t last a single day.- OLED vs LCD or LED but they are not as bright when used outdoors and require more power.- Temp in in C vs F, because no setting in software or app to change this.- does not support third party apps the way Wear OS or or apple watch does.- the timer app could be a little better preset timers are okay but the custom timer doesn’t allow you to switch away from it and it doesn’t make any sound it only vibrates.- menu on the left of the clock face displays the five most recently used apps.Final thoughts:Light and snappy with a great looking touch screen exceeded my expectations.Integration with phone is reasonable – you might want every notification but that will reduce the battery life of your watch AND phone.

Disappointed
This watch is beautiful and perfect size for my tiny wrists. Unfortunately, that’s about all I can say that is positive. The watch only stays connected if the App is actively running, unlike most Apps this one will not run in the background. The messages come in very sporadically and are usually in Korean. I’ve done all the things (language/uninstalled/reinstalled, disconnected/connected etc) and they are all only temporary fixes. I turned off email notifications but still get them. WhatsApp is on but those notifications do not come through. Perfect size, I just wish it actually worked…I will be returning this watch.

Works well but not a fan of meters instead of miles
Lost a star because I can’t figure out how to get my distance goals to show up in miles but otherwise works well. I’m Southern. Meters don’t mean a whole lot to me.

Unusual Pairing Situation
This watch served me well for about 6 months then suddenly, after connecting to my phone it would cause my phone to “forget” all other Bluetooth pairings. I’d have to re-pair all my other devices to my phone. It took me a long time to figure out that it had something to do with the watch or the watch app. I removed the app, and un-paired the watch and the problem stopped. So I’m certain one of them was the culprit. The watch itself isn’t bad at all. I love the long battery life. It can go up to a week on one charge if you limit your screen-on time, it looks cool, I’d say the health monitoring systems are inaccurate but that’s common with off name brand smart watches. The notifications and reminders can be a bit aggressive and persistent. I can tolerate all that though but the Bluetooth issue is a deal breaker for me. If there was a way to use the watch as a standalone I’d still wear it but it doesn’t even read the correct time without being paired so….that’s that for now.

I love this watch it is very well designed it looks like an elegant expensive watch a smart accessory. ideal for smaller wrists as it is compact and light. Definitely not bulky like some smart watches. It came in a beautiful box which would be ideal for giving to someone as a present. The watch face is always on display which is a great feature it is very clear to read and pleasing to the eye. I found it very easy to set up from the app it connected to my phone and notifies me of my messages. As a fitness tracker it is as good as my previous watch it monitors my health, heart rate blood oxygen and much more. The battery lasts about 10 days with normal use which I thought was excellent. Overall a great choice for ladies or teenage girls who are looking for a smart elegant look from a watch with many features. Would recommend

It’s been a long time I wanted a smart watch but one that looked nice too. So after looking for a while online I came across to this one which I love the way it looks. It is easy to put on and remove and because the strap is so soft it is very comfortable to wear. I have downloaded the app as it says in the instructions and set up the watch quite easily. It connects with the phone through Bluetooth and and you can get notifications straight to the watch. The watch looks quite tough and well built, not easy to break.

I was disappointed. The sleep recording is awful. It noted me sleep for 5 hours which was incorrect and staying awake for 30 mins. I had sat up awake and moving around for 3..5 hours! Other reviews for their similar models reflect the same opinion as mine. Definitely sending back and returning to my Apple Watch which I gave a break to whilst trying this Oyster watch out. Would NOT recommend.
