This is really sad because it was my favourite smartwatch in my collection. The build quality was just oozing premium. I've noticed that this listing is now $160 instead of the $50 first advertised, and honestly, that's very fair. I do think it's worth that much. Despite this, I'm still going to leave it as five stars. Hopefully it's just a rare QC issue.\n\n𝗧𝗟;𝗗𝗥 ↴\nAs someone who has bought plenty of budget\nsmartwatches on Amazon before, this is by far\nTHE most premium smartwatch I've ever tried,\nespecially for $50.\n\n⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆\n𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗗 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗜𝗧...\n➜ Premium quality, high-end design\n➜ Gorgeous AMOLED display\n➜ Based on VeryFit (superior companion app)\n➜ Functional rotatable crown\n➜ Two-step haptic engine\n➜ Good selection of watch faces\n\n𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗗𝗜𝗗𝗡'𝗧 𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗜𝗧...\n➜ No additional watch straps included\n➜ Display resolution could be higher\n➜ The watch is not available anymore..\n⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆\n\n𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 ↴\nFirst of all, there is a name for this smartwatch; it is called the \"GTC1\". Thought I would make this clear since this listing makes no effort to include any identifiable information. Second of all, by the time I am writing this review, the listing is deemed \"Currently unavailable\". So this review may very well never see the light of day, but I will continue writing because this watch is truly that great. Woe is me, I guess!\n\n𝗕𝗨𝗜𝗟𝗗 𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 / 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡 ↴\nIt is undeniable that one of the biggest reasons to get this smartwatch is how premium it looks and feels. Contrary to what another reviewer said, I do in fact believe the housing is made of stainless steel metal. I've had fake metal watches before; this definitely isn't fake. If you tap on it, scratch on it, etc, you will know what I'm saying.\n\nAnd the design is very clean, very streamlined, but still having that \"monumental\" presence to it. It's what you would expect out of a $300+ smartwatch. I mean if you take a look at something like the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 or Huawei Watch GT 5, this GTC1 isn't too far off. The bevelled edges and defined contours really helps elevate its premiumness without being overly gaudy, as with the other smartwatches in this price range.\n\n𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬 ↴\nThe AMOLED display on this thing is truly a sight to behold. It’s vibrant and rich in color, far superior to typical LCD displays on smartwatches. The blacks are very deep and inky. And because with AMOLED the black pixels are turned off, you get the benefit of having an always-on-display. The resolution is sharp enough that you won't notice the pixels, but personally the resolution could be a tad higher, but honestly at this price, it’s not a dealbreaker. The display is still incredibly responsive and a joy to interact with.\n\n𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗨𝗦𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 / 𝗙𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬↴\nOne of my favorite features is the rotatable crown. Unlike other smartwatches in this price range, the crown is not just for show, it is actually used for navigation throughout the software. You can scroll through menus, cards, widgets, just about anything. And it gets better: this smartwatch actually has two-step haptics! That means not only do you get a standard vibration but also a short satisfying pulse; this is my first time seeing this on a budget smartwatch. The short pulse is mainly used for the crown, so rotating the crown will produce some nice tactile feedback.\n\n𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗦𝗢𝗙𝗧𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗘 ↴\nThis smartwatch has been blessed by VeryFit, one of the more superior companion apps of the budget variety. Unfortunately most budget smartwatches are perma-binded to its app; you cannot use different watch apps. Therefore companion apps matter 𝗔 𝗟𝗢𝗧, as it has a direct impact of just how 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 those smartwatch features are.\n\nFor example if you're really into health tracking, then you will definitely want to get a smartwatch with VeryFit. This is the only companion app that is able to track your vitals by the minute. All other apps such as limit it to every 5 minutes. And the stats, info, charts are all very detailed, especially for sleep tracking. Still can't rival FitBit or Garmin and the like, but it is far better than most budget samrtwatches using lousy apps like FitCloudPro.\n\nVeryFit also has a very decent selection of watch faces, with plenty more if you want to pay for a VIP subscription.\n\nThe only other smartwatch I own with VeryFit is the DR06, and it is my most-used smartwatch purely because of the software/app experience.\n\n𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗧↴\nAll in all, as someone who has tried out a ton of these budget smartwatches, I can confidently say that GTC1 really stands out from teh crowd. At $50, it's absurdly good for the price. The build quality, the AMOLED display, and the software experience all point to a level of craftsmanship that I wouldn't expect from a budget smartwatch. The build quality and design rivals that of $300 smartwatches, and the functionality of the crown plus the two-step haptic feedback are features that you usually get with more expensive models. If this thing were released by a bigger brand, we’d probably be paying at least double the price, and it’d still be worth it.",
