Meet the World's First Real
Smartwatch - I'm Watch
First Impressions
The first thing that you would feel when
you hold the watch is that it isn’t heavy in weight. Although, bulky in
appearance, the I'm Watch is an exceptional looking gadget. The product's
appearance are probably one of its best aspects. The wide strap makes the dial
look extremely stylish. The Italian company has done a fine job in designing
the interface and adding several preloaded apps to it. This brings a whole new
element of fun to the product. The watch appears "Huge" on someone
with a petite wrist, for those blessed with a broader wrist, the watch appears
like a gadget straight out of an Hollywood flick.

Review
The appearance is the first thing you will
take notice of and without a doubt it will impress you. Coming down to the
features of the watch, the aspects like the drop down notification bar make all
its functions seem neat. The preloaded apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
etc work smoothly. Thus, this is a lot more than a watch. We experienced no
glitches in listening to music, viewing images or accessing any other in -
built feature of the phone.

Now let's talk about the purpose why one
would purchase this watch - functionality. When it comes to calls, our voice
could be transmitted clearly but we faced a lot of hindrance in receiving it.
Firstly, it appears as if you are communicating over a walkie talkie. The
speakers on the watch are not that effective. Secondly, there is ample
disturbance (break in voice) when talking and this can become very irritating.
There is only one key on the right side of the watch for all functions
(accessing menus, going back, etc). It is hard to believe that the makers did
not feel the need to add dedicated volume keys to the watch. There is a 3.5 mm
jack that allows charging, data transfer and hands free connectivity. When we
attempted to use the calling feature via the hands - free, it still managed to
disappoint us.
Verdict
The I'm Watch is nothing but a fancy gadget
but offers very little functionality. Only swanky in looks, the watch fails to
impress when it comes to serving the purpose for which one may purchase it.
Priced at above $391.6, there are several products out there that can replace
this one at such a high budget. Overall, one can let this one pass.
