Unboxing & Setup Process
Unboxing the LIGE watch reveals an understated white box with sleek branding and a compartmented box inside holding the watch unit, charging cradle, and manual.
Getting started only takes a few minutes. You simply:
- Charge the watch to turn it on
- Scan the QR code to download the DaFit companion app
- Pair over Bluetooth in just seconds - no WiFi needed
- Fill in profile details like age, height, gender to enable health tracking
That's it - you're ready to wear your new smartwatch!
I appreciate that you don't need to fuss with wifi or complicated setup. The DaFit app immediately started syncing data like step count, heart rate, and sleep data from the last few days stored locally on the watch. You can also easily enable notifications and customized watch faces in the app.
Daily Usage & Features Deep Dive
After using the watch regularly for 2+ weeks now, I'm very impressed by both the style and range of features of this LIGE smartwatch. It packs a lot into a compact, versatile, and comfortable-to-wear design.
Here are some highlights about my experience using key features:
Health & Activity Tracking
As an everyday activity tracker, the watch performs very well. It accurately tracks my steps, heart rate fluctuations, and sleep cycles without any noticeable lags. I love being able to see health data like resting heart rate and blood oxygen levels change day-to-day right on my wrist.
The workout app makes it easy to start activity tracking everything from outdoor runs to yoga, dancing, hiking, and more with detailed real-time metrics. Even for more casual everyday activities, seeing things like step counts motivate me to squeeze in extra movement.
Notifications & Alerts
With iOS and Android syncing, I was able to enable app notifications from services like SMS, emails, call logs, social media apps, and calendars. These provide subtle vibrations when notifications come in. While you can't respond directly from the watch, it's still nice having that ambient tap on my wrist to stay updated while staying present in real life conversations without constantly grabbing my phone.
You can customize notifications to only surface priority alerts during work hours or nighttime. I also like utilizing the music controls, weather forecasts, and alarms/timers without needing to touch my phone.
Bluetooth Calling
One of my favorite aspects is utilizing Bluetooth calls when my phone is out of reach. Call quality over Bluetooth sounded very crisp as long as I was within 30 feet or so of my phone. Double tapping the crown opens your favorites list - so making calls to frequent contacts is quick and easy.
The automatic syncing of call logs means I can discretely glance down and see who's calling even in meetings. While taking calls from the wrist looks a bit awkward, it's handy in a pinch!
Watch Faces & Battery Life
While packed with smart features under the hood, the LIGE successfully masquerades as a designer fashion watch on the outside. The 1.39” high resolution display really pops with color and brightness.
You can customize from over 100+ animated watch face options. I currently have a lovely floral watch face that still subtly surfaces step counts and heart rate data as complications around the petals.
Battery life depends heavily on usage. With continuous heart rate monitoring, vibration alerts, heavy notification usage and Bluetooth calls, I squeeze around 4 days which is still impressive. But turning off Bluetooth yields nearly the advertised 7-10 days on standby. Charging back to full takes about an hour.
Final Verdict
Overall I'm thrilled with the LIGE Bluetooth call smartwatch as both a health tracker and convenient wrist accessory. If you don't want to pay premium smartwatch prices but still crave style plus productivity and visibility to your health metrics - this $169 watch punches far above its weight.
The seamless iOS and Android compatibility, vibrant animated display with customizable watch faces, robust health tracking capabilities, and the addition of unique features like Bluetooth phone calls make this an easy recommendation!
