This is no ordinary smartwatch. This smartwatch helps you to lead a healthy
and prosperous life. At least that's what it says on the front of the box,
which is a pretty big claim. And I got
to say, after my recent trip to Japan, where I went to the Pom Pom Purin
Cafe, my confidence that a San Rio
co-branded product is going to live up to my expectations is pretty low. But it
is cute. My goodness, is it ever cute. This
is the very first smartwatch made for adults branded with Sanrio characters.
And if the product literature is anything to go by, the feature set is
actually shockingly complete. It's IP68
is compatible with standard 22mm bands if you wanted to replace the adorable
Hello Kitty strap that comes pre-installed. It's microfiber leather,
so not real leather, but it actually feels pretty solid, by the way. And it
comes equipped with a whole suite of sensors. Blood oxygen monitoring, heart
rate monitoring, sleep monitoring, step counting, and even skin temperature
monitoring. They say they can track how many calories you've burned and even
boast 2hour charging rates with 7 to 10
days of battery life claimed off of that charge. Though, they did note that if
the microphone and speakers are active, that could go down. Let's take a closer
look at the accessories really quick here. got some documentation in
Japanese. It is a Japan-only product, so that makes sense. 13 languages really
does make you wonder and and I I wonder this about a lot of Japanese companies
and products. If you're going to put all the work in to internationalize your
product, sell it there. I mean, to be clear, as someone who has worked in
developing products before, yeah, it's not always that simple. I get it. But

interface. Not the strongest magnet I've ever seen. only goes on the one way.
It's compatible with both Android and iOS and oh wow. Immediately noticeable
is the low resolution of the display.
240x284. Not great. Uh oh well. It's a
smartwatch. Why do I have to tell it what year it is? Okay. Not super
responsive. I have to tell you what time it is. Oh my god. This is the interface.
You have to swipe once for that is a cute watch face with a
giant bezel though. Goodness
gracious. Okay. Yep. That's not a lot of slack for
me. This is not the most comfortable strap I've ever
worn. I feel like that's not really the point, though.
Okay. Oh my goodness. Oh. Oh. Oh, the
crown doesn't. Nope. Yeah. Oh. Oh, wow. That's a really fast timeout. Oh, w
it. That's it. That's all, baby. Uh,
wow. That Oh. Oh, you can start a workout, though. 20 different workouts,

Breathe. That doesn't count. That's not one of your 20 exercises. Okay, sure.
Hey, but they got badminton. Let's go. Okay, here. Hold on. I'm going to
play some bad split step. Make a shot. I'm going to go back. I'm going to make
a shot. Then I'm going to like make another shot. And then I'm going to
defend. I'm going to do something over here and I'm going to go up. I'm going
to kill and then I'm going to sit down. I'm going to see if it has any idea that
I did anything. My heart rate is 92 from
just that cuz Okay, it doesn't track like how many racket swings or anything
like that like the uh OnePlus one does. What was the point of me telling it I'm
playing badminton then if all it's going to do is track steps, heart rate, and
calories. Okay, stop. Too little data to save. Yeah, well, [ __ ] you too. Watch.
I'll work out however long I want. Battery only. Show time out of function.
Oh, long. Oh my god, the way it truncates words like after one letter.
This like 3second timeout is driving me
nuts. Like it isn't long enough to read a message on the screen. Plus side of a
watch like this is they're not tracking and selling your data. Okay, because
there's no way they're competent enough to do that. One of the big features is
that there's six watch faces to choose from. That's specifically the Hello
Kitty ones, though. You can have other ones or you can upload your own or whatever, but let's go through all the
Hello Kitty ones that are included. That one's pretty cute. That's pretty cute,
man. Copyright 25 Sanrio L. Like, come
on, man. I get it, but really, what the
man? It's It's baked into all these images. Look, it's in a different spot
here. That's That's messed up. It says
watch
face. I've been using this thing for less than 15 minutes and I already want
to like huck it at the wall for how often it turns off. Okay, let's see if
it can at least brighten when I lift it
up. That delay though. Oh, okay. Okay, it's off again.
Oh, did you see how fast it turned off again,
too? Wow. What a piece of
um What can it even do? There's like no
apps. Okay, hold on. Music. I can Oh. Oh, I can pair to my phone. Oh, the
other one's paired to the phone. Okay, sure. No, no, we'll check out the other one. Cinema roll. Dude, like a dude with
thicker would not even be able to like wear these. I was going to say we
deserve better, you know, from these big brands as consumers, but we don't. We
don't deserve better because as long as we keep giving them money, we deserve
the [ __ ] that they shovel at us. That's what we deserve. The boot up time is
really fast, though. I got to give them that. All devices. Here we
go. Okay, hold on. Is that an alarm?
Scene control. Yeah, right.
Ambitious. Uh, there it is. Alarm. Okay, so you can add alarms here. Okay. Okay.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. What else we got here? What is this? Blood
pressure. Blood pressure. Pressure. I feel like my blood pressure reading is
going to be pretty high right now. That's a
flashlight. Wrist. Turn. Turn. Wrist
open. What is the difference? Did it Did
it change that? That wasn't even a setting on here last
time. Wrist lift setting.
Sensitive mode. What? This is a new This is a
whole new menu. Okay, let's see. Let's see. Is it faster?
No. Screen time set though. Let's go.
You can have up to 1 minute.
Okay, there we go. Okay. Find bracelet.
Find bracelet. Click to find.
Can you even hear that? That's the
find my button. That's it. Two vibrates
and that's that's all you get. One of the big features is, of course, the
Hello Kitty character voices that were made for this watch or something. Just
do alarm. Just do an alarm. Oh, okay. So, I got to do this thing's alarm.
Yeah, I'm changing it. I'm changing it. Oh my god. It is so hard to get it to
move one notch there. Okay. Okay. Once,
huh?
How much is this thing? Actually, no. Don't tell me. Let me guess. It's for
adults. So that means somewhere between
$15 at the drugstore and $15 million.
It's branded, so that means it costs
three to five times as much. So
somewhere between 50 bucks and $50 million. Then I want to give two
different values. One for how much it's actually worth for the tech that's in
it, and one for how much I think they're charging for this based on that it's
like kind of cute. This is an AliExpress special. It's worth like 60 bucks, maybe
40. How much they're charging for it? I'm gonna say 300 USD. Wow. $96 when
converted from Japanese yen. $96. Okay.
So, the upcharge for it being Yeah.
essentially just like AliExpress grade rubbish is only about double. Well, with
that in mind, then I can wholeheartedly
recommend the Hello Kitty Sanrio character smartwatches for anyone who
doesn't really care about the functionality of their smartwatch, but
just wants to show that they are blindly
loyal to San Rio by wearing it on their wrist. That is my recommendation. Very
qualified recommendation, but a recommendation nonetheless. Subscribe to
