The smartwatch comes in a standard package of white carboard box. When you open the box, you see the smartwatch, user manual and magnetic charging cable.
NO.1 F18: Design
Any watches, whether smart or not, have a common design, such as dial and strap. However, they also divided into two categories: classic and sports. NO.1 F18 has a sport design.
The dial is made of robust carbon fiber with metal inserts. It looks very durable, and there are no visible gaps.
On the side face are 3 metal buttons. They are responsible for turning on the screen, if it is off, switch options, select options and undo/step back functions. So, you can control the smartwatch with these buttons. But also it has touch key under the screen.
The strap is non-detachable. It is made of two-layer medical silicone with a clasp of stainless steel. The strap is flexible, soft, and it “breathes”, thanks to a multitude of holes.
Its total length from one end to the other, including the dial, is 25.5 cm, which is enough for almost any hand.
There is heart rate monitor and connector for charging on the reverse side of the screen.
NO.1 F18: Display
The display is colored, and it has a size of 1.3 inches and a resolution of 240×240 pixels. It is made using OLED technology, which allows you to focus on maximum energy efficiency. The viewing angles are good, but it is look straight at the screen.

Unlike many other wearable devices, the pairing process between No.1 F18 and smartphone is very simple. To do this, you just need to install the app and go to the device search. We found it and connected instantly. the synchronization started automatically.
We can say that F18 smartwatch correctly counts steps and distance, but we are not sure about burned calories. We did not enter age, weight and height in the app settings, but it already counted the burned calories. How did it know my data to conculate burned calories?
The heart rate monitor works well, when if you keep it on the arm in the right position.
In app’s settings menu, you can connect / disconnect only one wearable device.
“Exercise” tab is used exclusively to display the results in one of the sports modes: cycling, football, basketball, badminton, walking, walking, climbing the mountains.
