Hardware

Review
This watch combines everything necessary for outdoor endurance racing: GPS allows you to trace the route, determine the atura and monitor the forward speed, the barometer warns of changes in the weather, the heart monitor on the wrist allows you to take control on the performance and the stopwatch determine the time remaining. All together in a beautiful clock with 1.3 “color screen with notification of messages from the cell phone, thanks to its Bluetooth communication.
So far there are no details on the waterproof rating of the watch but based on the placement of the SIM, I don’t think it is swim proof of splash proof. The smartwatch could have been a perfect partner outdoors if it is waterproof, a smartwatch to bring no matter what the status of the weather is.
Conclusion
If you are looking for a affordable and easy to use sport tracker then the S958 GPS Smartwatch Phone is for you, it has all the functions that comes within a watch from a known brand but for a fraction of its price, in this case you only have to pay $69.99 on Gearbest thanks to its presale campaign.
