Octavo, why you never post oppo watch?.....

It looks really good and I hear it performs well too.........

Be careful with the low budget models. You might not get full value of a smartwatch at the end of the day.

Nice thread.

Very true comment...... Most budget smartwatches are only one way traffic..........

Seems better to buy an older premium model.......... Than a brand new budget smartwatch.........

Not unless you are on a tight budget........

Well I still beg to differ on that. How did you discover umidigi phones? It was because you were willing to try their infamous brand back then. They offer value for money at least for those who believe in their brand. I can tell you that the smartwatch world is changing, the market has been untapped for a very long time. Smartphone market is already becoming overly saturated. I deliberately didn't want to talk about Oppo watch and Amazfit (of course because they are not budget friendly yet). Why spend more when you can get it for less? Is that not why you use umidigi phones too?
I bought this watch below for N2500 almost 2 years ago, I stopped using after a month back then, till today the watch works (I switched it on last week).
Though it lacks some features (but it's still a smartwatch), but it made me appreciate SIM card capability in smartwatches.

I already placed an order though, will keep you guys posted whenever I receive it, it might be in the next 3 months depending on how fast AliExpress shipping is.

Monitoring spirits, i dey fear ó..........

My point is a watch like the LG urbane 2nd edition (LTE), is an older watch, but a proper smartwatch............


I have lemfo watch, but do not like full android on a smartwatch....... It's not optimised properly, whilst wear os is just perfect......

I get your point about wear os, but LG urbane 2nd edition (LTE) is about 5 years old and still expensive.
Which Lemfo watch do you have?

Octavo , what's the price of the 1st one. I have a Samsung smart watch already but will give one of these a try

Prices of top brands smartwatches hardly drop despite lacking key features which smaller & unpopular brands won't mind adding to theirs for less.

Great job OCTAVO. This Lemfo sure looks good with its specs for the price. Smartwatches having SIM and phone capabilities seem like an overkill for me.

I don't agree with your position........ If you are buying it new, despite been launched 5 years ago....... You won't get a bargain........

But buy a very good condition used top grade smartwatch, you would surely get a bargain.......

Nigeria's limitations are access to market, exploitation, forex rate fluctuations and varying logistical issues.........

Norman4real:
For this beauty here. It's the W26. Looks and feels like a real Apple watch. It's definitely caught the attention of a few people.

Hey, norman4real. Good evening. just a few questions.

How much did you purchase?

Can you give a brief review on it? specs et all.

Thanks in anticipation.

It was just about 30$.
It's screen is the highlight. Very bright and good quality display. Nice colour reproduction and the watch faces just look so good on it.
Batter life is good but depends on whether or not it's paired to the phone. When paired via Bluetooth it can go for 2 days at most. With Bluetooth off it can go up to 3 or 4 days.
It has a loudspeaker and mic for receiving calls via Bluetooth but the loud speaker volume is very low. I don't expect anyone to be receiving calls from their watch anyway so I don't find that to be an issue.
Only problem I have is with the software being a bit sluggish some times. And if you enable gesture controls to automatically wake the watch when the wrist is lifted then it will keep turning itself on so many times hence wasting a lot of battery.
Build material is very good. Nice curved glass screen and an aluminium metallic body.
And of course since it's so cheap, don't expect the sensors and health trackers to be accurate. They're mainly there for show.

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 considering that it's a cheap but really nice looking watch. You can easily fool someone into thinking that you have a real Apple watch.

Thanks for your response.

Those are really bright colours. You said something about not banking on the sensors. Although I was expecting for a smart watch at least the step counter and maybe heart rate??

Do these work? is there a feature to track sleep time?

I'm guessing you ordered from AliExpress. How much did you pay in naira back then and how long did it take to get here?

Thanks once more.
