You never forget the first impression you get from a device and it frequently influences whether we want to buy it or ignore it. The SmartWatch 3 fails across the board on this front. The design is lackluster, the digital readout unimpressive and the rubber bracelet strap looks cheap and inferior. After just a few hours of wear, the wristband starts accumulating dust, hair and bits of worn-off skin, either stuck to it or buried in its grooves.
The wristband closure of the SmartWatch 3 is also not very practical. For my narrow wrist I had great difficulty in finding the appropriate setting between too tight and too loose. The watch is completely enclosed in the rubber bracelet too, so the overall size seems significantly greater in proportion to the actual display.
