00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.260
This is no ordinary smartwatch. This smartwatch helps you to lead a healthy

00:00:05.260 --> 00:00:08.840
and prosperous life. At least that's what it says on the front of the box,

00:00:08.840 --> 00:00:12.480
which is a pretty big claim.

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:17.460
And I gotta say, after my recent trip to Japan, where I went to the Pompom Pirin Cafe,

00:00:18.460 --> 00:00:21.840
my confidence that a Sanrio co-branded product

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:24.880
is going to live up to my expectations is pretty low,

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:29.520
but it is cute. My goodness, is it ever cute?

00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:33.600
This is the very first smartwatch made for adults,

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:37.600
branded with Sanrio characters. And if the product literature is anything to go by,

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.320
the feature set is actually shockingly complete.

00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.680
Its IP68 is compatible with standard 22 millimeter bands,

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:50.920
if you wanted to replace the adorable Hello Kitty strap that comes pre-installed.

00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:56.360
It's microfiber leather, so not real leather, but it actually feels pretty solid, by the way.

00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:59.800
And it comes equipped with a whole suite of sensors,

00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:04.320
blood oxygen monitoring, heart rate monitoring, sleep monitoring, step counting,

00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:09.040
and even skin temperature monitoring. They say they can track how many calories you've burned,

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:13.800
and even boast two hour charging rates with seven to 10 days of battery life

00:01:13.800 --> 00:01:17.360
claimed off of that charge. Though they did note that if the microphone

00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:22.760
and speakers are active, that could go down. Let's take a closer look at the accessories really quick here.

00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:27.560
Got some documentation. In Japanese, it is a Japan only product,

00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:31.240
so that makes sense. 13 languages!

00:01:31.240 --> 00:01:35.520
Really does make you wonder, and I wonder this about a lot of Japanese companies

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:40.480
and products. If you're gonna put all the work in to internationalize your product, sell it there?

00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:44.320
I mean, to be clear, as someone who has worked in developing products before,

00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:47.480
yeah, it's not always that simple, I get it, but.

00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:51.360
Beat the tariffs with the Shipstorm sale event at lttstore.com.

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:55.040
We are offering free shipping on any order worldwide

00:01:55.080 --> 00:01:58.200
over 150 US dollars, so it's a great time

00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.280
to pick up a commuter backpack, a precision screwdriver,

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.600
or a stylish framework hoodie. Oh, I took it off to put on this jacket.

00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:10.300
The point is, we've also got never-before-seen pricing on our MCM Essentials bundle.

00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:12.560
Don't miss it, we'll have it linked down below.

00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:18.080
Okay, charger goes on or something like that. Pretty classic smartwatch charger interface,

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.240
not the strongest magnet I've ever seen. Only goes on the one way.

00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.760
It's compatible with both Android and iOS, and, oh wow.

00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:31.360
Immediately noticeable is the low resolution of the display, 240 by 284.

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.680
Not great, oh, well, it's a smartwatch,

00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:39.760
why do I have to tell it what my fucking year it is? Okay, not too perresponsive, but I have to tell you

00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:45.000
what time it is? Oh my God, this is the interface?

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:50.560
You have to swipe once or every- Oh, that is a cute watch face.

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:55.760
With a giant bezel though. Goodness gracious.

00:02:55.760 --> 00:03:00.760
Okay. Yep, that's not a lot of slack for me.

00:03:00.760 --> 00:03:03.560
This is not the most comfortable strap I've ever worn.

00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:07.720
I feel like that's not really the point though. Okay.

00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:13.000
Ha! Oh my goodness.

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:18.520
Oh, oh, the crown doesn't, nope, yep. Oh, oh wow, that's a really fast timeout.

00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:19.660
Oh, that's it?

00:03:21.600 --> 00:03:24.760
That's it, that's all, baby. Wow.

00:03:24.760 --> 00:03:30.280
That oak, oh, you can start a workout though. 20 different workouts, including plank.

00:03:32.600 --> 00:03:36.440
What is spinning bike? Oh, elliptical. Oh wait, but that's an elliptical.

00:03:36.440 --> 00:03:41.640
What the hell is the difference between, wait, what just happened?

00:03:41.640 --> 00:03:46.280
What just happened? What just happened is I need to tell you about our sponsor.

00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.680
Breathe. That doesn't count.

00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.800
That's not one of your 20 exercises. Okay, sure.

00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.200
Hey, but they got badminton. Let's go!

00:03:57.480 --> 00:04:02.640
Okay, here, hold on, I'm gonna play some badminton. Splits that, I'm gonna make a shot, I'm gonna go back,

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:07.600
I'm gonna make a shot, then I'm gonna like, make another shot, then I'm gonna deep bend,

00:04:07.600 --> 00:04:12.040
and I'm gonna do something over here, then I'm gonna go up, I'm gonna kill,

00:04:12.040 --> 00:04:16.000
and then I'm gonna sit down, I'm gonna see if it has any idea that I did anything.

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.880
My heart rate is 92 from just that, because, okay, it doesn't track how many racket swings

00:04:21.880 --> 00:04:26.040
or anything like that, like the one plus one does. What was the point of me telling it

00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.920
I'm playing badminton, then? If all it's gonna do is track steps, heart rate,

00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:34.400
and calories. Okay, stop. Too little data to save, yeah, well.

00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:38.720
Fuck you two, watch. I'll work hard however long I want.

00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.920
Battery. Only so time out of function, oh, bump it.

00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.240
Oh my God, the way it truncates words, like after one letter.

00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:51.160
This like three second timeout is driving me nuts.

00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.180
Like it isn't long enough to read a message on the screen.

00:04:54.180 --> 00:04:57.720
Plus side of a watch like this is they're not tracking

00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:02.320
and selling your data, okay? Because there's no way they're competent enough to do that.

00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:05.780
One of the big features is that there's six watch faces

00:05:05.780 --> 00:05:10.060
to choose from. That's specifically the Hello Kitty ones though. You can have other ones or you can upload your own

00:05:10.060 --> 00:05:13.360
or whatever, but let's go through all the Hello Kitty ones that are included.

00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:20.320
That one's pretty cute, that's pretty cute. Man, copyright 25, Sanrio, L, like come on man.

00:05:20.320 --> 00:05:23.840
I get it, but really? What the fuck, man?

00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:27.200
It's baked into all these images. Look, it's in a different spot here.

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:32.880
That's messed up. It's a watch face.

00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:33.720
Don't.

00:05:36.280 --> 00:05:40.920
I've been using this thing for less than 15 minutes and I already want to like huck it at the wall

00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.960
for how often it turns off. Okay, let's see if it can at least brighten

00:05:43.960 --> 00:05:44.880
when I lift it up.

00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:52.920
That delay though. Oh, okay.

00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:59.120
Okay, it's off again. Oh, whew.

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.720
Did you see how fast it turned off again too?

00:06:03.880 --> 00:06:05.960
Wow, what a piece of shit.

00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.720
What can it even do? There's like no apps.

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:16.320
Okay, hold on music. I can, oh, oh, I can pair to my phone.

00:06:16.320 --> 00:06:20.240
Oh, the other one's paired to the phone. Okay, sure, no, no, no. We'll check out the other one, Cinema Roll.

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:24.240
Dude, like a dude with thicker, would not even be able to like wear these.

00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:29.680
I was gonna say we deserve better, you know, from these big brands as consumers, but we don't.

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.680
We don't deserve better. Because as long as we keep giving the money,

00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:36.880
we deserve the shit that they shovel at us. That's what we deserve.

00:06:36.880 --> 00:06:40.280
The boot up time is really fast though. I gotta give them that.

00:06:40.280 --> 00:06:44.840
All devices, here we go. Okay, hold on.

00:06:44.840 --> 00:06:48.280
Is that an alarm? Scene control. Yeah, right.

00:06:48.320 --> 00:06:51.600
Ambitious. All right, there it is, alarm.

00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.880
Okay, so you can add alarms here. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Hold on, hold on.

00:06:54.880 --> 00:06:59.880
What else we got here? What is this? Blood pressure, blood pressure, pressure?

00:06:59.880 --> 00:07:03.160
I feel like my blood pressure reading is gonna be pretty high right now.

00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:04.320
That's a flashlight.

00:07:11.200 --> 00:07:13.480
Wrist turn, turn wrist open.

00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:17.480
What is the difference? Did it, did it change that?

00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.720
That wasn't even a setting on here last time.

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.440
Wrist lift setting. Sensitive mode.

00:07:25.400 --> 00:07:28.640
Well, this is a new, this is a whole new menu.

00:07:28.640 --> 00:07:32.320
Okay, let's see, let's see. Is it faster?

00:07:32.320 --> 00:07:33.160
No.

00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:39.280
Screen time set though. Let's go, you can have up to one minute.

00:07:41.840 --> 00:07:46.520
Okay, there we go. Okay, find bracelet, find bracelet.

00:07:46.520 --> 00:07:47.360
Click to find.

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:56.560
Can you even hear that? That's the find my button.

00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:02.000
That's it, two vibrates, and that's all you get. One of the big features is of course

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:06.920
the Hello Kitty character voices that were made for this watch or something.

00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:11.520
Just do an alarm, just do an alarm. Oh, okay, so I gotta do this thing's alarm.

00:08:12.760 --> 00:08:18.280
Yeah, I'm changing it, I'm changing it. Oh my God, it is so hard to get it to move one notch.

00:08:18.280 --> 00:08:21.600
There. Okay, once.

00:08:35.880 --> 00:08:39.040
Huh. Do more, do more, do more.

00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:41.080
Do more.

00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.000
How much is this thing? Actually, no, don't tell me, let me guess.

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.000
It's for adults, so that means somewhere

00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:55.120
between $15 at the drug store and $15 million.

00:08:55.120 --> 00:09:00.320
It's branded, so that means it costs three to five times as much.

00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:05.320
So somewhere between $50 and $50 million then.

00:09:05.400 --> 00:09:09.440
I wanna give two different values. One for how much it's actually worth

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.760
for the tech that's in it, and one for how much I think they're charging for this

00:09:13.760 --> 00:09:17.840
based on that it's kind of cute. This is an AliExpress special.

00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:21.040
It's worth like 60 bucks, maybe 40.

00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:24.600
How much they're charging for it? I'm gonna say 300 USD.

00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.880
Wow, $96 when converted from Japanese yen.

00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:34.560
$96, okay. So the upcharge for it being essentially

00:09:34.560 --> 00:09:38.080
just like AliExpress grade rubbish is only about double.

00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:44.720
Well, with that in mind then, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Hello Kitty Sanrio

00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:49.660
character smartwatches for anyone who doesn't really care about the functionality of their smartwatch,

00:09:49.660 --> 00:09:53.320
but just wants to show that they are blindly loyal

00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:56.480
to Sanrio by wearing it on their wrist.

00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.160
That is my recommendation. Very qualified recommendation,

00:10:00.160 --> 00:10:03.240
but a recommendation nonetheless. Subscribe to ShortCircuit.
