What was in the Box?

In the box, I found the Smartwatch – SWOTT Armor 007 smartwatch in black, a magnetic charger to charge the watch, a one-year warranty card, and a user guide. It would help you scan the codes to activate the warranty and find the operating instructions.

Smooth functioning and easy swipe brighter and scroll smoothly.

Connectivity and User Interface

The SWOTT Armor 007 connects to Android and iPhone with its compatible app GloryFit. The smartwatch offers Bluetooth connectivity that ranges up to 10 meters and can notify you of important calls, SMS and reminders. So you need not keep your mobile always with you and keep checking it all the time. Once the watch is connected to the app, you receive hands-free smart notifications for incoming calls and message alerts.

SWOTT Armor 007 offers an exclusive user interface. You can swipe down for the watch settings, calls mute and unmute the watch and change the display pattern of the apps. Swipe up for message alerts, swipe right for shortcuts to various applications, and swipe left to see the activity list. You will find 14 apps listed on the smartwatch. You can arrange these apps in three styles. You will find one button on the right side; to switch ON the display and operate the smartwatch the way you like.

Battery

This smartwatch from SWOTT comes with dual-pin USB magnetic charging. With around 3 hrs of charging, the watch got 100% charged. I got to use it for more than a week with the minimum usage of the Bluetooth calling feature. So, Armor 007 will outlast any activity you do during the day and still track your sleep at night. The brand claims a battery life of seven days; note that the battery power will depend on how much you use the Bluetooth calling feature. I am satisfied with the battery's performance.

Calling Features

The smartwatch offers three options in the calling section: Switch, Dialpad, Call records and Address list options. SWOTT Armor 007 helps to call any number without using your phone. The number dialled from the smartphone connected to the watch in real-time enables you to make calls by dialling the number without saving in smartwatch contacts. Under Frequent Contacts, we can save up to fifteen contact numbers. The telephone keypad is comfortable for dialling numbers.

The Recents option displays the last calls received from the phone and smartwatch. This helps in dialling back the unsaved number as well. The UI of the smartwatch offers options to reject, accept a call, and adjust the volume of its speakers on the display when someone calls on your paired smartphone from the watch.

GloryFit App

We can pair SWOTT Armor 007 with Android and iOS devices with its app GloryFit'. The GloryFit app helps to control the watch's features and keep a tab on all the health-related data collected by the watch. The app's Home page displays the health-related measures when you launch it, and you find three more tabs called Sports, Device and Me.

The home page offers details like Today's step, Distance, sleep record, heart rate recording, and weather details. The app provides detailed information about each feature; I missed the stress feature here. Under the sports tab, you find outdoor running, walking and outdoor cycle and a + icon where you can add 21 other optional exercises to the main page of Sports. Under the device tab, you will be able to control the settings and features of the app, and under the Mine tab, you will find some account, app settings, permission and feedback sections. Overall the GloryFit app is good enough to monitor your health measurements.

Sleep

With the help of this app, you get detailed data about Sleep Data. The Data comprise the Last night's Sleep, Deep sleep, Light sleep and how long you were awake during the night. One can track Sleep on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. You even get the summary of the sleep in the graphical display.

Heart Rate

The heart rate feature helps you measure your heart rate and gives you the Highest, Average, Minimum and Maximum heart rate. The Heart range is offered in detail Tranquilization state, Stress relieving state, Fat burning state, cardiopulmonary state, Anaerobic state and Extremity state. The continuous heart rate feature helps you monitor your heart rate based on the date you want to watch.

Smart Features

Sedentary Alert, Weather Forecast, Voice Assistance, Stopwatch, Alarm Clock, Timer, Find Device. The find Device option helps you find your watch and mobile if you misplace any of the two. The alarm is quite loud compared to the other smartwatches I have reviewed; I found this feature helpful many times.

Pricing and Availability

The SWOTT Armor 007 Bluetooth Calling Smartwatch is available at an MRP of INR 2,490 on Amazon.in and on their website: swottlifestyle.com.

Verdict

The SWOTT Armor 007 is comfortable to wear, has a good dial size, and has an impressive display. The smartwatch is classic; its UI is easy to use; it offers good battery life and comes with an easy-to-use app. However, the Armor 007 watch could have made it waterproof and an on-the-go message reply feature. This smartwatch offers good performance, connectivity and smart features at a reasonable price.
