TOZO S3 Smart Watch (Answer/Make Call) Bluetooth Fitness Tracker with Heart Rate, Blood Oxygen Monitor, Sleep Monitor IP68 Waterproof 1.83-inch HD Color for Men Women Compatible iPhone & Android

I have been a customer for several of Tozo’s excellent earbuds, and was offered the opportunity by Tozo to try out their S3 smartwatch. I took them up on their offer and would like to offer my take on the watch and how it compares to another smartwatch I have, the Fitbit Versa 3.Let me start out by saying that the Tozo S3 is an amazing deal. At a price that is a fraction of the price of the Fitbit, it is hard to believe that Tozo can put out a watch of this quality at the price at which they are offering it. While there are a few things that the Fitbit can do that the Tozo cannot, for the most part the Tozo can do everything most people are going to need.Here are some positives and negatives:POSITIVES:1. The battery life has been great. It is at least double what I get from the Fitbit. I know there are a lot of factors that influence battery life, and there are some things that the Fitbit can do that impact battery life that are not an option on the, such as the ability to have a power saving setting that still shows the time constantly. I do use that setting, and I’m sure that impacts the Fitbit battery life. But that feature is probably not needed by most people anyway, and the battery life on the Tozo has been very impressive.2. The display is crisp and clear and set up logically. The physical button on the Tozo makes it easy to get into the menu system. Although it does not appear that you can tap the screen on the Tozo to wake it up like you can on the Fitbit, the wrist action setting works well.3. The app is excellent, and there are lots of option in the app to add many different exercise routines. More than what is available on the Fitbit.4. The Bluetooth phone connection works very well, and I was able to place and answer calls without a problem. Not unexpectedly, the sound is tinny due to the tiny speaker involved, but it was still clear and very usable.5. They have many nice watch faces available for download for free, and I found one that shows all the information on the main screen. It’s nice that they give you so many options.6. The Bluetooth connection was easy to make and works well. No problem making or maintaining the Bluetooth connection.NEGATIVES:1. I like to keep track of my heart rate, and while the screen does show the heart rate on the different exercise routines, the heartbeat readout is very small, whereas it is much larger and easier to see on the Fitbit. It is not easy to see without having to bring the watch closer to you. On a personal level this is probably the biggest complaint I have with the watch, although it would not stop me from buying it. If Tozo sees this review I hope they will consider increasing the size of the heartbeat readout, since it appears that there is plenty of room to do that.2. There is no GPS. I am listing this as a negative here only because this could be an issue for some people who are walking outside and want an accurate distance calculation beyond what the watch can do on its own. The Fitbit does have GPS. Of course, I’m sure that is one of the things that accounts for the big difference in price. For me the lack of GPS is not an issue at all, since my exercise is all done indoors. If that is your situation, then you would just be paying for something you don’t really need with the Fitbit.3. The Fitbit has a read out that shows what they call “Active Zone Minutes”, which takes into account your heartbeat level to determine how good a workout you are getting. I like that because I can tell at a glance how good a workout. While the Tozo does show you what percentage of time you spent in each heart rate zone, it doesn’t have this additional calculation to show you a combined score using what Fitbit calls their “Active Zone Minute” readout. While this is certainly not a dealbreaker by any means, this would be a great addition to the Tozo if they could do it.I don’t want to put this as a positive or negative, but potential purchasers with small wrists should be aware that the watch is fairly large. That, or course, is a positive in terms of the amount of information you can put on the screen, but if you have small wrists (like I do) you might want to consider one of the smaller Tozo smart watches if you plan to wear this all day. I only wear the watch when I am exercising, so it’s not an issue for me, and I like having the larger screen. The watch and the band are both comfortable. Just something to keep in mind if you have small wrists.Overall I think this watch is an incredible value. I don’t know how they can put out a smartwatch this good at this price. As long as you don’t need GPS I would certainly recommend giving this watch a try. I have been impressed with Tozo’s earbuds, and what I found with this smartwatch is consistent with that. I recommend this product highly.

I haven’t used all the features but am very glad I bought this. I’d stopped wearing watches and now realize it’s worth wearing them IF they have features I want and if the price is reasonable and the appearance is good. It’s a fabulous deal for that.Heart rate tracking and step counting and reporting are superlative .I LOVE the find my device option so I can either find the misplaced watch or the misplaced phone , even when muted….. that’s Golden for me !I wish the watch app had the ability to capture the in-phone GPS data and have a simple interface to provide key information of your choosing on the watch.Battery life is good, appearance is great but don’t operate the screen at high brightness unnecessarily or you pay for that in shorter battery life.I played with the sleep options, testing / observing until doing this became tiresome , which assisted falling asleep!Being able to manage and access my music on the phone is great.It does sometime disconnect from my phone and that’s the only ding I have.It looks great and not cheap and it’s a value in an entry smartwatch!Glad I got it and very unlikely you will be sorry….. plus, in my earbud experience with Tozo, if any questions or problems arise , they will help you fix it quickly or send a new one …. Even if 6 months after buying. TOZO cares about their customers

I choose the Tozo S3 mostly because it’s from Tozo. They have great products at affordable prices AND if something goes wrong I know their customer service is 5 star. I really like the look of the watch and the band. It was very easy to connect to my phone and all features seem to work well. The app is easy to use. I can’t speak to the exercise portion too much except to say the step counter is accurate and I like the way it monitors and records my sleep. I mostly wanted a watch that could notify me about calls/texts, emails, etc., and this watch does all of that. You can answer/make phone calls. It shows your text messages and has option to delete old messages. You can also store up to 10 contacts from your phone. It keeps up with the weather, and I can play music too. The speaker is clear and works good. I’m very pleased with this watch overall and only have 1 minor complaint which is the watchfaces. My last watch was really cheap and didn’t work very well at all, but there were 200 different watchfaces for free and you could personalize them or use your own photos and choose which features you wanted to see at a glance on the screen. Hopefully Tozo will catch up with some of the other apps soon and give us more choices and control over the watchfaces, but otherwise this is a good watch for the price and I have already recommended it to a few people who have asked me about it.**edit 1 month later**Tozo watch did not last. Health features stopped working on day 28. Customer service was responsive but weren’t able to restore the watches features. I am in refund process now. I take reviews seriously because I rely on other people’s reviews and experiences. I still like Tozo and would purchase other products from them, but buyer beware on this S3 watch.

I know it says that it’s a fitness watch, and yeah, it can absolutely be used like one, but I use it as a smart watch. The instructions are trash, so this is what you need to know. Click the button twice to get to the rest of the features. That’s it, lol. All joking aside, the app is great! It doesn’t track you unless you want it to, and I don’t need my watch to track where I go for a run, only the amount of steps I take, which it can do without tracking your location.It holds about three days worth of info, so I unpair at night and re-pair in the morning, that way I get my sleep info without wasting watch+phone battery.In the Tozo Health app there’s a location to make premade response messages for texts. If there’s something you say a lot (“O.K.,” “Will Do,” “Thanks,” etc.) you can set them up there and use them on the watch. I don’t know the limit, but I’ve written a whole sentence and it works just fine. Speaking of the info, the sleep info is fairly accurate for me. I know others have said it isn’t for them, so I don’t know what to say to that, but it is for me. Also, the step counter can be off, but I’m not counting my exact number of steps; I have a range and it falls into it so I’m happy.On the app you can decide what other apps it’s allowed to see, so if you’re real cautious you can unclick (all apps are clicked on by default) something like a banking app. Images do not come through on the watch, by the way.You DO NOT need to go through the “I have a different type of phone to pair” thingy. You’ll understand when you download the Tozo Health app. Just turn on BT and it’ll pair up just fine.To make a call you either need to know the phone number by heart or you need to add the contact into the app. I barely call people so this wasn’t an issue for me, but YMMV. You can receive all calls from any phone number.There was another reviewer that said to turn off the auto-wake to save battery and it’s no joke. I get about two days on auto-wake, but I turned it off and I charge the phone once a month, give or take. It takes about two hours to charge from depleted, though the charging cable likes to not sit properly. If I had to complain it would be about that. It’s magnetic, but if it’s not situated just perfectly it doesn’t work.The strap could be better. I have adult sized wrists and the strap where it clasps together keeps popping open. I do have a complaint about that part, too. I’ve also managed to accidentally hit the smart watch against things, and it’s a little scratched up, but it works just fine!Music! I LOVE that it doesn’t play through the watch. I have a BT speaker and I can pair both watch and speaker to phone, then play music through speaker. If I’m in a different location than my phone, say, when I’m cleaning, I can control the BT speaker from my watch. That being said, the range of watch away from phone is suspect. I don’t know the exact amount of distance before it doesn’t work. I lost my watch and tried to use the “locate watch” on the Tozo Health app and it said watch was too far away, even though they were still paired. I found the watch one room over, so another YMMV situation.As a side note the smart watch works while wearing regular gloves, not just touch-smart gloves. It also comes with a mega load of different watch faces.All in all, however, considering it’s a literal smart watch for this price? I think I paid about $35-$40, can’t remember the exact price, but it was on sale. This is a steal, and if you want one that won’t track your location, sell your data, but still keeps up? This is it.
