I think the model is called kw 66, so it’s, a pretty uh unusual name for a smartwatch right here. Uh imilab is supposed to be one of those uh like a supplier of parts from xiaomi, so they are using some parts from xiaomi as well: either they are supplier or xiaomi or something, but they are related to xiaomi that’s. Why a lot of videos online on youtube actually says it’s the xiaomi watch, but it is not. This is immilab’s own watch and today we’ll be checking out what this watch is all about. So it comes in this a pretty nice box over here. I love the packaging and it is about 35 us dollars, depending on where you’re from the pricing will be different. So, like i said it comes in this really nice box here and you can see a couple of key features at the front uh we have a 30 day battery life. Of course, it’s not going to last that long, maybe two weeks or three weeks sounds more reasonable. Apart from that, we have a 13 sport modes over here, so you’ll be able to track a couple of basic stuff, which i will show you later on and last but not least, it comes with a heart rate monitor which almost every smart watch has these days. So this is the box, they came that it came in and, like i said, it’s very nice packaging if you’re looking to give someone a gift this christmas for 35 bucks.
This looks like the perfect gift all right, so i already have the watch here and i’ve been using it for a couple of days. So let me just show you what this watch is all about. So in terms of design, if you just take a look at it, you’ll notice that it looks very similar if you’ve seen my other videos – and that is, it looks very similar to the halo solar. So i have the solar right here side by side. You can see how similar they are they’re practically. The same watch actually like i said halo is also one of those brand or partners of xiaomi, so it seems very natural that they would use the same hardware right here, but just under a different brand. So we have even the same thick bezels in the insides, but yeah the front still looks pretty good. Actually, the straps wise, it is a bit different compared to the halo. I would say that the one on the e min lab is actually a bit better and if you just flip, the device to the back here, you’ll see that it comes in this. Rather nice casing at the back here compared to the plastics casing. On the back of the halo solar, so this is not a comparison, but i just wanted to point out the similarities in both the hardware here, so you know what to expect with the imelab kw 66, all right. So if you look at the bottom here, everything is actually one to one now notice that the sensor’s placement of the heart rate monitor is exactly the same as well, and so is the charging parts at the bottom and just another fun fact.
The charger works for both smart watches here, so you already know that these are basically the same devices all right i’m, going to put down the halo watch for now and just focus on this emilap kw66. I must admit for the price of 35 us dollars. This build quality actually feels a bit better than the halo. The straps are also a bit thicker here, definitely much more solid and feels pretty good in my hand. So i like the way this a silver rim goes around the watch. It looks really good again. I must say it looks much better than the halo one, especially not just in terms of the color, but also in terms of the straps that it comes in all right. So moving on let’s just check out the display right here and we do have a couple of watch faces so what’s different with the halo here is that imilab has actually created a lot of watch faces. There are about 50, maybe 40 or 50 watch phases that you can put on the imilap kw66 right here, and they look pretty cool, definitely much nicer than the default ones, and how this operates is if you pull down from the top. This is where you get a couple of quick shortcuts and if you pull it up from the bottom, sorry about that, if you pull up from the bottom here, you can see your notifications. So the notifications again looks exactly the same as the one on the halo, solar.
You get a couple of fonts here, you have the app icon as well, and you can just glide down to see the different notifications all in here and if you just want to see a bit more, you can tap that to see more context of your notification. So that’s that for the notifications, if i just go back right here, let me zoom out a little bit more. If i go back and look here, if i swipe towards the right sorry towards the left. Actually, this is where you get your widgets. So you have your overall status. You have your heart rate going on here. You also have your sleeping records here, the amount of time you slap, your deep sleep, light sleeps and all that very basic stuff that you can expect from most smart watches these days. Apart from that, you also get your training, so this is a shortcut key that goes into the list of activities and you have your music player so that’s. If you swipe towards the left, you get into your widgets. So if you swipe towards the right, this is where you actually go into the main list of apps. So you have your training, your heart rate, some statistics uh your sleeps as well stopwatch and messages so it’s. Basically, the same thing that you get from the widgets itself and note that you cannot make any calls or respond to any messages on this watch just like any other smartwatch these days, unless you are running android wear os.
So this, of course, is not running that so you can’t reply to messages but yeah. This is basically it the imei lab kw66 moving on. I wan na show you a little bit about that list of activities right here. So let me just go into that and show it to you. You have your basic stuff, you’re running, walking, cycling. You also have your yoga and one thing it tracks is also a couple of sports here, like your tennis, basketball and football rugby and all this stuff. So you have quite a number of activities that it tracks here: uh and yeah. It does the job pretty well all right. Apart from that moving back, i just want to talk a little bit about that heart rate tracking, so notice that i actually haven’t been wearing the watch on. But the heart rate sensor is still going on so that’s one little thing that i found a bit off with the emulab kw66, and that is that if you do not wear the watch, the the watch will still assume there is a heart rate going on. As you can see here, there is a heart rate going on here, so that is something not very accurate. But if you put the watch on your wrist, it can actually track your heart rate quite accurately. So the funny thing here is uh. If you don’t wear it, it still gets some kind of reading and that is very not very accurate in my books, all right so that’s it for the heart rate.
Apart from that, it doesn’t track anything else. No spo tools, uh no net tracking. Only your sleep tracking and no stress tracking it’s, a very basic smart watch here but, like i said for 35 bucks um, this is really what you get with the imei lab kw66. I think for myself. Personally, i think this is a good smart watch to give someone uh if their this is their first smart watch if they like something, if they appreciate something with a nice quality of a good smart watch watch face like this, and if they just need basic features. Like your heart rate tracking and your sleep tracking, then this would actually be a decent gift for you to send someone. But if you’re looking or if you are a serious person who wants to track your heart rate very accurately, i think you should definitely look elsewhere, because this doesn’t really do the job well. And if you want to track your other activities, i maybe use something else, because this doesn’t come with a gps as well all right guys, i think, for 35 bucks. This is pretty much what you get with the imeelab kw66.eiB-s6s-PnU
