Cell Phone Watch M810 Personal Review

Tested and experimented with ATT & T-MOBILE sim card.

The new M810 cell phone watch is the upgraded version of the M800 that you might have seen all over the internet.  I bought a couple direct from my manufacturer to see what the “buzz” is all about and what everyone’s reactions are that see this new cell phone watch.

From my immediate family to about a good 4 close friends of mine were all quietly amazed with this new M810 watch phone, including myself.  After fiddling with this little gadget I came to a simple conclusion.  What you see on the internet as far specifications and pictures really doesn’t do any justice for this phone.

First of all the first thing you notice when you receive one of these cell phone watches is the stylish heavy duty box it comes in.  I know I know it’s just a box! BUT a really cool one, it’s not like the rest in simple card board form.  It has a magnetic flap to open it up and slides out kind of like a jewelry box.  Again, it’s just a box but I give this bonus points simply for the fact that I don’t have to worry about damages that can occur during shipping transitions.  Enough of that!  So what’s inside?

• The free Bluetooth headset, it’s not wireless but hey… its free, can’t beat that right! 

• Two batteries, an extra is given free.

• The battery charger – it kind of looks like a mini docking station

• Of course the USB cable to charge and transfer files, mp3’s video’s ring tones… etc.

• Wall charger that uses the USB cable to connect.

• Stylus pen that is slipped into the leather belt.

• English user manual also available for download.

The watch has so much to offer.  The menus give you an endless amount of features.  You can change the ring tone and add new ring tones if you like.  It is an mp3 and mp4 player in one.  The concept is based on the new phones that are receiving a lot of media attention except all the features are put into a watch.

You have your own calendar to set dates.  The dial pad is on the screen, you use the stylus pen to dial out.  It has the internet feature which is the most recent updated version of java.  It is also equipped with a 1.3 mega pixel camera.  This phone is pretty much a touch screen PDA in a watch.

The OLED screen allows it to be displayed in really nice high color.  It’s bright and really visible.  It doesn’t use the plasma or LCD type screens.  The OLED technology is the newest out of the bunch.

Our main concern was the voice clarity of the phone.  We knew that its capabilities were endless and right up there with the iPhone and other PDA’s but clarity was something that everyone forgets to think about when purchasing phones like these.  So how did it go?

My friend uses T-MOBILE so this is what we tested it out on.  I used Verizon as the other dial out and dial in phone.  We took them both completely apart on two different ends of the town.  What did we find??  Voice clarity passed its test.  We didn’t receive any drop calls and the conversation was smooth.  The only thing is that the wind can factor in with the Bluetooth’s clarity, but that is the case with most Bluetooth headsets on a mildly windy day.  I dialed out using the touch screen pad and calls were received and accepted on both ends with out trouble.  We did this a good 4-5 times just to be sure and it passed the test with out any problems.

A quick note about the Bluetooth headset.  If you have mp3’s loaded on the phone the Bluetooth allows you to listen to your music on the headset.  It’s a pretty cool feature that comes equipped with the phone.

So what was the next test in line?  TEXT MESSAGING – Ok so at this point we knew two things about the phone.  1.) The features are PDA like and compare to those of other high end phones.  2.) The voice clarity, Bluetooth headset and out going/receiving calls checked out.  And so did the text messages.

The text messages that were sent out were received really fast.  It could be the service area at the time when we used the T-MOBILE sim card but either way there wasn’t an issue in receiving the messages.  The only minor adjustment that might need to be made would be text messaging out since it’s like a keyboard and you’re using the stylus pen.  But not to worry, I noticed if you can type quickly on a keyboard you should have an easy adjustment to the keyboard on the phone, they’re about the same.  My typing speed isn’t the best but I was able to text fairly quick.

Now if you’re wondering if this would work with any other service the answer would be yes.  My sisters use ATT and the phone also checked out with that service as well.  It is an unlocked phone so any GSM sim card carrier would be compatible.

QUICK NOTE:  The only negative that this cell phone watch attains is the screen size.  For myself it was a good size, it measures in about 1.4".  For a couple others the size was slightly inadequate.  But its features and touch screen ability gave the watch bonus points that helped its cause in possible under sized screen.

I didn’t really expect much out of the phone being that there wasn’t much information about it out on the internet.  For the most part the M810 cell phone watch performs just as good as any other unlocked phone of name brand companies.  At this point I would have to say all it is left up to is what style you prefer.  If you’re into cool gadgets then this would definitely be right on the top of the list.
