The Alfawise EX17S is a sport inspired smartwatch with a single-color digital screen and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. The design of the watch is reminiscent of the older Casio Edifice Sport models.
The strap used for this watch is made out of Thermoplastic polyurethane or TPU, a soft and elastic material that is used as an alternative to silicone or synthetic rubber. The underside surface of the strap is smooth to the touch and is pleasant to wear. The top side of the strap has a diamond pattern encased by simple angled lines.
The buckle used for the EX17S is made out of metal, a great feature to have especially on a component that is prone to have pressure applied all the time.
One of the important things to note about the EX17S smartwatch is that it can’t be charged. It uses a standard CR2450 button battery that needs to be replaced every year on average. To replace the battery, the four screws placed on the back of the watch need to be removed.
The watch uses a simple single-color screen to display all the information. A night mode is also available by pressing the Light button on the upper left side of the watch. The screen itself has average glare protection.
The smartwatch has four buttons for the night mode, and other various functions available. Many functions including powering and turning off the watch are accessible by pressing two buttons at the same time. For a full description of all functions, please read the user manual, as there are too many to list inside a review.
I need help in setting this watch up. Instructions that came with watch are a problem
Tell me more, what do you need set-up exactly?
I am having trouble switching ON the watch that I just received as a gift. Unlike the other buttons, the ON button is stiff, meaning it is not flexible and soft like the others that go in when you push them. Is the ON button supposed to like that?
It is supposed to be a bit on the stiff side, but it should have a clicking feeling, you can try to move it with a sharp object.
Can I at least get a set of legible instructions that can be read with the human eye. The writing is so small as to be almost unreadable. At least provide a printable version with a larger text format.
Indeed, the manual is pretty small, you can try the Alfawise website, or send them an email. For some reason, they removed the watch from their website.
Greetings
My watch strap is breaking and I need a replacement, any advice?
Either you contact the manufacturer, or just use an aftermarket strap that you like. To be honest, if I were in your place, I’d get myself a quality watch strap, such as Nato straps.
Ola eu queria saber qual o nome do aplicativo que uso para conectar o smartwatch.
