No. 1 D5 smartwatch boasts 3G, WIFI and Android OS


no.1 d5 smartwatch

No.1 take the smartwatch concept one step closer to being phone independent with the new No.1 D5 with built in 3G and WIFI.

We have seen No. 1 release smartphones with GSM support in the past, but the D5 takes things a few steps further with the inclusion of 3G and WIFI. Traditional smartwatches, even Android Wear device, rely on being connected to a phone or tablet for connecting to the internet, but the No.1 D5 tries to remove that dependency.

With built in 3G support it means the D5 can connect to the web directly while also giving you the ability to make phone calls from your wrist too. WIFI is a bonus too meaning connectivity without using your data plan.

The design of the watch is a traditional style with round 360 x 360 display, and a leather wrist strap. The watch runs a Mediatek MT6752 chipset, Android 4.4, and has Bluetooth 4.0.

Its impressive to see a large 450mAh battery in this IP65 device, and for those of you planning to run this watch on your network, band support includes GSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 850/2100.

More details can be seen over on the No1 D5 specifications page here.

    wut wut wut… may it be the first chinese watch with android ? too bad its ugly as hell with its fat round design and black borders. But whatever, it surelly is the first of a loooong list to come in 2K16. Can’t see which brand isn’t eager to cash this smartwatch money.

    Is it possible to pair this watch with an android smartphone and receive push notifications, or is this meant to be a standalone device?
