TW520 - watches and telephone in one person
It is unlikely that someone will argue that a cell phone is very, very much replaces the clock. I'm not talking about watches as an element of status, not about expensive, elite models. And about the usual tool that shows the time. Telephones are used so often that it is often unnecessary to carry another item with you (or rather, on yourself). Watches on the hand have become more rare than a mobile phone in your pocket, you cannot argue with this tendency.
But more recently, watch-combines, equipped with a variety of functions, began to appear: a communication module, a voice recorder, a player, a calculator, etc. In general, a whole set of ordinary cell phone. I would like to tell about this device.
To date, presented a huge number of models. When choosing, I was based on the appearance of the device and characteristics. The choice fell on the model TW520 . Watch phone cost me $ 109 with free shipping by Singapore Post.

The device comes in a small beautiful box with various stylish icons on the emblem.
In the black cardboard box we are elegantly greeted by a clock.
Grade worthy. All done with high quality and neat.
A small power supply immediately with a normal plug.
Headphones with built-in microphone and switch button. True microUSB connector they made specifically for hours. I want to note that their quality is quite decent. For talking the most it!
Two batteries. The manufacturer took care of us. After all, it will be inconvenient if your gadget is discharged at the most inopportune moment and you are left without communication. On average, autonomy lasts for 2-3 days in normal use.
And of course the microUSB cable for communication with a PC. The device can be charged from the computer. And fast enough.
Watch phone looks quite stylish and presentable. The body is assembled tightly, without gaps, which also makes a positive impression. The surface of the screen covers soft plastic. On the front panel, in addition to, of course, the display itself with a powerful metal edging, there is an eye of the front camera, and already on the strap are miniature slots of the built-in microphone and speaker.
The physical dimensions are 45.3 x 43.6 x 14.6 mm, the device weighs 110 grams.
Rubber strap in white. The telescopic stylus is very quietly hidden in it: it’s hard to guess that it’s almost impossible to extract there. But not lost.
But there is also its own “but” - the strap easily gets dirty. Thus, you need to carefully treat the gadget so that it always looks clean and stylish.
The cover of the battery pack, also partly the rear panel, fastens securely and quickly to the main body. The user will have no problems here.
Under the battery, which is removed by pressing a small button, there is a slot for a memory card, as well as a SIM card.
A bit of viscera.
There is nothing on the right side of the side, but on the opposite side there are buttons similar to the ones you could see on a regular watch. The left-upper (END) turns the device on and off, ends the call, and returns to the standby mode. Right-bottom (OK) activates the menu or confirms selected functions.
The display here is not OLED or IPS, but TFT, the resolution is 240x240 pixels, bright, rather “colorful”, the diagonal is 1.6 inches. It is made with a resistive-type matrix - it responds to the stylus and nails. Although the display is small, working with it is quite simple. The screen has excellent sensitivity, so with a certain dexterity you can learn to navigate through the menu items fairly quickly. Also in the settings it is possible to calibrate the sensitivity and accuracy of clicks.
All items on the screen look normal. There are no problems in the sun, and in dark places sometimes you have to even reduce the brightness. The saturation of course can not be compared with modern displays on smartphones, but quite decent.
Text is displayed correctly.
The main displays the most important information: the signal of the cellular network, mode, battery charge and the current date.
The menu is built in two original pages of six icons. The transition is possible, both with the help of a hardware button, and as a result of pressing the corresponding touch button.
The first page is mainly responsible for the “phone” functions - a book of contacts, messages, speed dialing (here you can shove 9 of the most active of your interlocutors and not know grief), call log, Bluetooth menu and mute.
On the second, there are additional functions, standard for "unintelligent" phones. In particular, an organizer, where you can connect an alarm clock or record plans.
There are also profiles (6 pieces).
Multimedia, services and MMS.
Settings (here you can calibrate the screen, set the time and date, select a language, etc.).
Despite the fact that we are dealing with a modest-sized screen and basic functionality, there is also a multimedia component in the TW520. All applications responsible for it are in one submenu - Multimedia. Here is the button to activate the camera, camcorder and audio player.
The camera has a resolution of 1.3 megapixels. Most of all, it is suitable for creating self-portraits, everything else is given to her with great difficulty.
The music player can play music files in mp3, wav and awb formats. As for the video, there are only two supported formats, but they are very popular: they are 3gp and mp4. The device can also recognize graphic files saved in jpeg, bmp, gif and png formats.
If you talk about the device without a headset, then everything is fine. Very good speaker, microphone in the right place, the interlocutor is perfectly audible. Even in hands-free mode. Reception is good. The polyphonic speaker is relatively loud. There is a vibration alert. With the headset, everything also works without problems.
Minuses:
Pros:
TW520 is a very interesting and unusual device. It will suit not only as a watch, but also as a stylish accessory to your image. Its main advantage is that it is always on hand, and the probability of missing an important call is reduced. And in general it is very cool to have a phone on your hand, you feel straight yourself a real secret agent!
