DT No.1 DT Watch 10, 10th Anniversary Edition

DT No.1 DT Watch 10

An interesting smartwatch for the 10th anniversary of DT No.1

This time we have another little thing that DT No.1 recently sent me, a smartwatch with interesting features, an AMOLED screen, more storage than we have seen in other low-end watches from the brand, and a battery life of up to 7 days.

Also, we could say that this model has been released for a "celebration".

Before continuing, I wanna thank DT No.1 for sending me this watch. My contact in the brand offered it to me in a conversation we were having, and I agreed to review it.

Unboxing

The box is very similar to other DT No.1 models. At the top we see an image of the watch, the name of the brand and model, as well as the text 10th Anniversary Edition, which refers to the 10th anniversary of the DT No.1 brand. That's why I said that the watch has been released as a "celebration". To the boys of DT No.1, happy anniversary!

On two of the sides we have several icons that indicates different functionalities of the watch such as the AMOLED screen, the large storage memory, the compatibility with TWS headphones and the possibility of listening to music or playing videos stored on the watch, the sound recorder, the photo album, or the 3D display.

(Click to enlarge)

On the remaining sides, as usual, we see the WearPro logo and the 46 mm. size.

(Click to enlarge)

And last, at the bottom of the box we find the usual DT No.1 information with the QR code for the WearPro app and the information that says, as always, that the watch is not a medical device, and a couple of differences from the previous models, The first is the image of the bottom of the watch on the left side along with a text that tells about the charging speed and the working mode of the USB connection as charging mode or USB storage mode if we have it plugged to a computer.

And the second one is a QR code on the right side that brings us to a supposed multi-language manual for the watch. Well, it doesn't have anything multilingual, because we'll only see the manual in English.


(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)

When we open the box we find the manual, which explains many of the watch's functionalities. As usual in most of these watches, the manual is in English and Chinese.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

Under the manual we find the watch, which as always we will see later, and the accessories. The first of them is the USB charger, which is a 4-pin magnetic charger and which seems identical to the charger of the DT Ultra 2 that I recently reviewed. In fact, I have tried both them on both watches, and they have worked on both, so there's no doubt that it is the same charger model.

(Click to enlarge)

And the second accessory is the strap. I would have liked them to have included two straps as in the case of the DT Ultra 2, so we could use one or the other depending on the style we want to wear without having to buy it ourselves.

Appearance of the watch

Let's take a look at the watch. As we can see, the watch is identical to the Apple Watch series 9 and earlier. The screen is 2.06 inches, and has the typical rounded corners. Besides, the screen glass has the usual curved edges that gives it an elegant appearance.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

On the right side we have the main button, or crown of the watch, which has a red circle that looks very good. And below this button we have the secondary button. Between them, we find the hole for the microphone hole.

(Click to enlarge)

On the left side we just see the speaker. This watch doesn't have any button on this side.

(Click to enlarge)

Finally, at the bottom we find the four contacts for the charging pins, and the sensors that will get the health-related data such as heart rate, blood oxygen level or blood pressure. In addition, here we also find the buttons to release the straps and remove them.

(Click to enlarge)

The straps are of course interchangeable. I have tested on this watch some of the straps that I have for the DT Ultra 2 and they are compatible, so the DT watch 10 can use any 49 mm Apple Watch strap.


(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)

As I always say when I review watches, on websites like Amazon or Aliexpress you can find straps for this watch, some of them very cheap.


(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)

The CPU of this watch is the ATS3085S chip from Actions Technology. I think this is the first time I review a smartwatch with this CPU, but I suspect that it will begin to be integrated into more models of low-end smartwatches. In fact, the DT Watch X from DT No.1 already has it, and it certainly won't be the last.

Supposedly, according to the information that DT No.1 offers on their website, the watch has 32 GB of capacity. But the reality is very different, because since if we plug it to the computer and see its available storage, it's only 3.26 GB. On the other hand, in Buyswear we see a more accurate information, since they indicate 4 GB of storage. In any case, 3.26 GB is more than enough, in my opinion, for this kind of smartwatch.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

According to information from DT No.1, the watch is dust and water resistant in non-excessive situations. In fact, they recommend not using it for bathing or swimming. This leads me to consider that the protection of the DT Watch 10 is IP67. So my advice is to not submerge yourselves in the water with it.

The watch, working

To turn on the smartwatch we press and hold the secondary button for a few seconds, and the boot is very fast. The first time we turn it on, it will ask us to select the language, and then it will show a screen asking us to download the WearPro app on the mobile and it will show the QR code to pair it. We can skip this step, but pairing with WearPro will be necessary for certain functionalities of the watch.


(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)

After these initial screens it shows us the main dial of the watch, which as always we can change by holding your finger on the screen for a few seconds, and selecting the one that we like the most.

(Click to enlarge)

We can also change it directly on the main dial by rotating the watch crown, to choose between the ones we have installed. And we can also do it from the smartwatch settings, inside the Display menu, in the Clock Style option.

(Click to enlarge)

Before continuing, as we have seen that the crown can be used to select the dials of the watch, let's see the functions of the two buttons. The main button or crown has several functions. The first of them is when we press it on the main watch face, and it opens the menu.

(Click to enlarge)

The second of them happens when we press it in an app, option or sub-option, and it goes back to the previous screen or option.

The third function, by double-clicking, displays a list of apps that we have open in the background, where we can close them. Although we must close them individually, because it don't include a button to close them all.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

Another feature is the crown, which can rotate and be used as a selection method in screens, menus and options, instead of sliding the finger.

And finally, holding this button down we'll open the voice assistant.

(Click to enlarge)

As for the secondary button, it has three functions. The first of them, when we press it, opens a screen where we have some shortcut icons, and some indicative icons at the top that show us the status of the Bluetooth connection, phone calls and TWS headphones.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

In the shortcuts we can show the QR code of the WearPro application, see the watch info and battery level, choose if we'll listen to music from the phone or the local storage, search for the phone, and open the settings.

But also, we can edit this screen, and with the button that we find at the end of this list we can add or remove any of the different shortcuts we have available.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

The second function of the secondary button, by double pressing, opens the Sports app, which we will see later.

(Click to enlarge)

And finally, by holding down this button, a screen appears in which we can make siren or horn sound, make an emergency call to the police, fire department, ambulance or our emergency contact, and reset the smartwatch. Be very careful, because it's a reset to the factory settings, and it doesn't restart the watch.

At the top right we have the icon to turn off the watch. As I said, we don't have a button to restart it, so whenever we want to do it we have to turn it off completely and turn it on again. This is something that doesn't take much time, but a restart button would have been very useful

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

Additionally, any of the buttons, both main and secondary, can turn on the watch screen when it's off.

And one thing that I already saw in the DT Ultra 2 and that I liked, and that is also available in this DT Watch 10, is that we can also turn on the screen by double tapping with our finger.

As usual in the smartwatches, by sliding the finger in the 4 directions we access different functions. If we slide down we get the notifications area, where we will see the notifications from the different apps we have specified in the WearPro app.


(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)

If we slide up the our finger we see a screen with the date and time, as well as different widgets that shows the data from some of the watch ap. In these widgets we can tap to open these apps, and we also have an option at the end of the list to open the smartwatch menu.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

And by sliding our finger to the left or right, we access some of the watch's apps. The first of them is the one that gets the data from the Pedometer, where we see in a circular graph the calories burned, the steps and the distance traveled in a circular graph. Sliding the finger up, we see different screens indicating each of these data in detail, as well as a history of the sports activity.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

The second one is already well known, and it's the Heart Rate. With it we'll measure the heartbeats per minute of our heart rate, and if we slide our finger down we'll see the history of the last 24 hours.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

Next we have the Weather app, where we'll see our location, the current weather, the maximum and minimum temperatures expected for the day and additional data such as the time of sunset or the humidity level in the air. Here, by sliding our finger up we can check the weather forecast and the maximum and minimum temperatures for the current day and the next 5 days.

To work, the Weather app needs to have the WearPro app installed on the phone and paired with the watch.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

The last of these applications is the Music Player. Here we can, with a button that we find at the bottom left, play both the music from the phone and the music we have in the smartwatch's local storage.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

If we play music from the phone, we must keep in mind that, just as it happens on the DT Ultra 2, the phone's music app (in my case I use the one form Xiaomi) must be open, because the watch doesn't open it automatically. We can play or pause the song, jump to the previous or next song, and modify the volume.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

If we play the music from the smartwatch's storage, the list of songs we have stored is automatically loaded. Here we can also play and pause the song, as well as switch to the previous or next song, modify the volume, and also modify the playback mode (continuous, random, etc).

(Click to enlarge)

In addition, we have a last option in the button that I mentioned before, to hear the music through TWS headphones.

(Click to enlarge)

The truth is that, personally, I think that the volume of the music is heard very well.

Last, we have the possibility to add more modules or widgets to this area. Although by default we can only add one more, which added to the previous ones makes a total of 5. Any of these modules or widgets can be removed by holding the finger on any of them and selecting the ones we want to remove. This way, we can customize this area to have the ones that are most useful to us.


(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)

Of course, the DT Watch 10 allows you to make calls through the watch if we have it paired via Bluetooth with the phone and calls audio is enabled. In addition, I also recommend to turn on the option to share contacts.

We make calls with the Call option in the watch menu. There, as in the case of the DT Ultra 2, we have three options: manually dial the number we are going to call, view the recent calls, and choosing the contact we want to call.

As I said when reviewing the DT Ultra 2, the first time we use this last option we must synchronize the contact list so the watch shows them.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

We can also, obviously, answer the calls we receive on the phone.

(Click to enlarge)

As in the case of music, the volume of the calls is quite satisfactory.

Sports and health apps

As always, two of the things that DT No.1 emphasizes when announcing their releases are the options to monitor the user's sports activity and health. Let's see what the DT Watch 10 offers in these two sections.

The Sports app, which we can open from the menu or by double-clicking the secondary button, allows us to monitor our physical activity in 10 different activities: Running, Walking, Riding, Basketball, Skipping, Climbing, Badminton, Pingpong, Yoga, and Machine Run. Only these 10 are available, and we can't add more from WearPro. This, for me, is a failure, and it should offer more activities that we could add.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

In all of them, by tapping the button that appears on the right, we can set goals for these activities such as the time we'll spend doing them, the calories we want to burn, the distance, or the steps we want to take.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

The way the Sports app works is the same as what I have seen before on other models from DT No.1: When we select any of them, after a countdown of three seconds the watch will start to monitor the physical activity and will show on the screen the time we've been doing it, the heart rate, the kilocalories burned, the steps taken and the distance.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

When we finish, we'll see two buttons to end or resume this monitoring. After confirming that we want to finish, the watch will save the data, and these will appear at the end of the screen that we had seen previously.


(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)

In addition, all these records are saved in the Sport history option found in the watch menu, and in each of them we will see all the data from each physical activity, and the date when we did it.


(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)

In addition to the Sports application, as in the DT 8 Ultra and the DT Ultra 2 as well we have the possibility of recording our physical activity with the WearPro app. There, as we already saw in the DT Ultra 2 video, we can choose between four different activities: run (indoor or outdoor), walk, cycling or climbing. When we choose any of them and tap the button "Go", we'll see a three seconds countdown, after which the app will start to measure our performance through the watch. We'll not see anything on the smartwatch screen, but the phone will use the watch to record our steps while, at the same time, the phone's GPS positioning records the location data.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

When we finish, WearPro will save this record and we can check it whenever we want. In the saved data we can see the time we have spent doing the physical activity, the calories we have burned, the pace of the physical activity, the average speed, the cadence of our steps, the length of our stride and the number of steps we have taken. And to complete this record, it will show a map with the route we have followed during this physical activity.

(Click to enlarge)

As for the health apps, in addition to the heart rate one that appears in the widgets by swiping right or left on the watch screen, we have three more, which are already quite known as they're present on many similar smartwatches.

The first of them is the Blood Oxygen, which shows after a few seconds the result of measuring the oxygen level in our blood.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

The second one is the Blood Pressure, which also shows the blood pressure of our body after a few seconds.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

The third one, as many will have already guessed, is the Sleep, which shows the time of sleep, and the time of light sleep and deep sleep. From the three apps that I have mentioned, this seems to be the only one that offers a history, which we can see by sliding our finger up, and shows us the average data of our sleep.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

And the last one is Breathing Exercises. The novelty here is that, in addition to choosing for how many minutes we want to do them, we can choose if we want to do it in a faster, relieve or slower way. After choosing, pressing the start button the exercise will start and the watch will tell how often we should inhale and exhale the air.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

Also, as has happened lately with the DT No.1 models, all of these health app are complemented by the WearPro app if we have the smartwatch paired with the phone and with the app, and all recorded data is stored in separate tabs. in them we can check the records of the last day, the last week, the last month and the last year, so we can keep a detailed history of these data of our health.

Other apps

From the main menu we can open certain apps that we have already seen, such as the notifications, the calls, the weather app or the music player. But obviously we have other apps that are very common in the smartwatches.

I'm not going to explain how they work in depth because we already know them, and we've seen them in other DT No.1 models such as the DT Ultra 2 or the DT 8 Ultra. But I'm going to describe these additional apps such as the Alarm (which in this model can be set from the watch instead of from WearPro), the Calculator, the Timer or Countdown, the Recorder, the Compass or the Stopwatch.


(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)


(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)

We also have the option to use the watch as a remote shooter for the phone's camera, and the option to find the phone if we don't remember where we left it.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

What I am going to talk about as novelties are the Video Player and the Photo Album. In the first one, we must copy the videos to the watch by plugging the smartwatch to a computer with the USB cable, and this connection will also be necessary to delete them.. We must also make sure that in the watch settings we have set the USB Mode to Storage Mode instead of Charging Mode. The videos play correctly and the audio sounds very good.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

As for the photo album, we have some example images that DT No.1 has added, and we can add more through the WearPro app. Here, we can scale the image before transferring it and we just have to press the button below to send the image to the smartwatch.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

The photo album allows to switch from an image to the previous one or the next one, but I have not seen that we can zoom. The images also look very good.


(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)

Also, in the photo album, leaving the finger on the photos we can select them and delete them, although we'll not be able to delete the default ones.

(Click to enlarge)

Last, we have five games. Yes, FIVE. This is new because in similar smartwatches until now I've only seen two. But it seems that the guys from DT No.1 wanted to give us more options to entertain ourselves. We have the Towers of Hanoi game, a game where we have to tap on the color that appears in a different tone or color on different boards, the game 2048, the classic snake game that many users will remember from old mobile phones, and a game that many users will like: the popular Flappy Bird that so many thousands users liked a few years ago, and that generated so much controversy when its developer suddenly decided to remove it from the Google Play Store.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

They're not are impressive games, but we can have fun with some of them (especially the last one I mentioned).

Screen and battery

The screen, which as I mentioned is AMOLED, looks very good, and although I have the plastic that protects the screen on, we can see that it doesn't affect its sharpness and visibility. The truth is that I think the display of the screen is excellent. Also, the transition between screens and menus is very smooth and fast, and I didn't find any type of delay when switching between them.

In indoor or dark environments, it looks perfect. In sunny places it doesn't look bad with the brightness at maximum level, although the difference is noticeable. And I've checked this without removing the protective plastic of the screen. If we remove it, it will look even better.

(Click to enlarge) (Click to enlarge)

As for the battery, it's 240 mAh. This may not seem like much, but we must remember that this is a low-end smartwatch and not one with Android, so the battery consumption will not be very demanding. The battery life is about 7 days, although if we play videos or music it may be less. The full charging of the battery takes between an hour and a half, and two hours. But according to the information from DT No.1, 10 minutes of charging will be enough to have battery for a whole day.

(Click to enlarge)

Watchfaces

I'm sure you already know what I'm going to say about the watchfaces. Yes, we can't create them (my usual complaint, I know). The watch comes with a good number of watchfaces installed by default, and through the WearPro app we also have many more watchfaces that we can download and install on the watch.

(Click to enlarge)

Additionally, if we don't want to have to open WearPro to install them, we can also install them from the watch itself (as long as we have it paired with the phone). In the watchfaces selection screen we go to the end of the list and we find the Dial Market, where we can choose the dial style, and we'll see in the screen the watchfaces available in WearPro to install on the watch.


(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)	(Click to enlarge)

Price and availability

The DT Watch 10 is available in three different colors: silver, black, and pink. We can buy it in the official DT No.1 store for an affordable price, just over 36 Euros or almost 40 dollars. We can also buy it in Buyswear. Here, its price is just over 35 euros or (also) 35 dollars.

Conclusions

There isn't much in particular that can be said about this watch, but there are some aspects where it stands out. First of all, I quite like its appearance and shape. Although I am more of a fan of smartwatches with a round screen, I admit that this Apple Watch look is quite stylish and looks quite good. In fact, I like this style more than the DT Ultra 2 because it's not as robust and is more elegant or casual, which makes it fit well with everything.

I really liked the quality of the screen. As I said before, I have done my tests without removing the plastic cover that comes in the screen, and the results are very satisfactory. You can leave this cover on, because it looks good enough, or remove it, and it will look even better. The transition between screens is very smooth and there were no problems here.

The sound quality is not the best I've found, but it does its job and you don't hear anything bad. The battery life is quite standard, and we can use it for up to a week without having to charge it.

The apps of this smartwatch doesn't stands out, because it has the ones that are common, and they bring what they have been developed for. The only new features, due to its storage (which is more than enough for a low-end smartwatch), are the photo album and the video player. But they're not apps that I, personally, consider essential (or even necessary). But I'm sure there are people who likes to be able to see a photo or a short video on their watch.

In this regard, I must indicate that I consider negative what I've seen in the photo album and in the video player, and it's that apparently the images can only be transferred through WearPro, and the videos can only be transferred from the computer as if it were an external USB drive. Personally, I think they should offer the ability to transfer both photos and videos both ways.

So, taking into account what this smartwatch offers and its screen, its battery life, and its appearance, within the sector of the low-end smartwatches I give this DT Watch 10 a score of 7.5.
