If you should ask me what’s my take on smartwatches, I would say it is a really good idea. As a matter of fact, I currently own two (A smartwatch and a smart bracelet)Â and the experience has been really cool so far.
We are gradually moving into an era where using a smartwatch sorta makes you smarter than just using a normal wristwatch that tells nothing other than time and date. Imagine when you are in the public, someone’s calling your mobile phone and you could see who’s calling on the smartwatch tiled around your wrist without having to bring out your phone from your pocket. Sounds pretty cool right?
Now, most of these smartwatches can work independently without the need for a phone. You can make and receive calls, send and receive messages, surf the web, listen to songs, and more from a simple smartwatch placed around your wrist. One of such kind of smartwatch is the K8 3G Smartwatch.

The K8 3G smartwatch comes with a phone embedded in it. Take a look at the specification of the device below:

The specs above are quite explanatory and perhaps, don’t need more enlightenment. However, if you are getting the smartwatch, it’s best you don’t install any custom ROM or sort as it would void the warranty that comes with it.
Price and Where To Buy?
The K8 Smartwatch is available on Gearbest for $130.92. However, using the coupon ‘GBK8A‘ (without quotes), you can get it for only $121.99 and it’s free shipping delivery to Nigeria.
i dont mind getting one of this as a freegift courtesy hubsidy.com
The specs are great. If. This smartwatch can do great stuffs like surfing the web, making calls, and sending text messages and even check time then i dont need to carry up to 3 smartphones whenver i am going out. I think i need to get one for myself. And it is affordable converting the dollar amount to naira the watch is not more than 30, 000 naira which is quite cheap to me.
Holy shit…is that James bond watch? I need one pls
Lmao.. No b only apple, na mango… Smh
Hahaha abi watermelon, funny u.
I’ll be launching my own phone brand (Pineapple) hope apple smartwatches work with it. Becos there is apple in pineapple
Micheal, Pineapple brand?? My brother, we pray for you to achieve this dream lol. Hope we would be able to operate the phone with straw and we will be able to ice the devices inside fridge?
@Samuel, Well….. thats apple for you. Thats why I’ll always prefer Samsung to apple!
@ Samuel, Boss I think it’s Apple’s Policy. I don’t know why but the policy suck. Or better still Apple SmartWatch should be independent of itself
Abi ooo
The World is becoming digital…Apple smartwatches are the best.The battery life needs to be increased .
@Philip, Apple Smartwatches are the best?? When you can’t use it with any other device other than an Apple?
This generation technology is WOW.
Technology is always on the good side .. Popping up innovative devices has really helped to make works easier.. I would love to get the smart watch
Really in love with it
One with 1000mAh will make brain die
@Samuel Noted Boss, It’ll come soon sha. I’ll be waiting patiently for that.
Though I naturally do not like wearing wristwatches,an android watch will not be a bad idea
Bros, Is there any SmartWatch with up to 1000 Mah Or More? If yes, I’ll like to know
Simeon, I haven’t seen o. But a smartwatch with about 1000 mAh battery capacity? You are looking at 3 days without charge.
Please mr Samuel, does infinix zero 2 now have an OTA update to lollipop?
No, no update available. Maybe because our device is already running lollipop OS.
@ Eze Chukwumaijem Adnah, Exactly same problem I have with Buying from from gearbest. Once it gets faulty, no Carlcare. How frustrating it could be.
it’s very affordable
Wow! I thought it’ll always need a phone. It has same specifications with some low-level Android Devices. Swartwatches gives you more abilities than an ordinary wrist watch can offer. All the same, K8 Smartwatch Price is affordable.
Superb SmartWatch Device, Nice Review
my problem with this wrist watch is that the maker isn’t a popular one
does it support OTA upgrade?
can this wrist watch be connected to a phone?
It’s specs is amazing, gradually I am developing interest in this smartwatch thing.
Common…. what is samsung and apple waiting for? I know they’ll respond to this.
Samsung’s got gear while Apple’s got Apple watch.
It’s a nice smartwatch with mobile phone capabilities, but from the specs the battery wont last.
The smartwatch I currently use has a battery capacity of just about 350mAh and it conveniently takes me through the day.
