Hello guys. So not long ago I got my Dz09 smartwatch, and I realized that the app that the watch tells you to download does not even connect properly with the watch at all. It for some reason seems to just not connect at all and the functions that need the app to properly work do not work. After doing some research I found some Youtube videos in which the people that were reviewing the watch were using an application called FunDo SmartDevice. It seems to also work with some other smartwatches from china too, so if you have a smartwatch similar to the DZ09 you should try it out.
You can download the FunDo SmartDevices app from here. So far the DZ09 smartwatch has been far from impressive. Battery life at least for me has been really crappy. I has been a really annoying issue for me because the watch is advertised for 150 hours on standby, but I can't even get it to run for 2 days casually checking the time and notifications on silence mode. Extremely disappointing. I had the watch on vibration mode and it would not last more than 6 hours on. By the time I came home from college it would be already dead. I understand that these watches consume a lot of energy because of the display and other connectivity but I had am i5 smart bracelet from Gearbest too which used to last about 2 weeks per charge, have vibration and a small display. Not only that but the fact that I do not have vibration to let me know that I have received a notification makes it pretty much worthless because it is mostly what I want the watch for. What also bother me is that these companies selling them usually miss-advertise products like these. I have owned 3 of these type of smartwatches and they just disappoint me. If I find a way of increasing the battery life a little more I will let you guys know. Other than the battery, everything seems to be working well. Connectivity with the phone is good. Camera has pretty crappy quality but I guess you can't expect much from it. You can use a sim card and an micro sd card but I have not tried any of them yet, mostly because I don't need them because they seem like useless features for a smart watch that is supposed to be a complementary piece of hardware for your phone. The watch also have a lot of customization compared to other watches out there. You can set custom ringtones that you can keep in the micro SD card and change through some themes that they have, as well as animations and watch faces. Anyways, that's about it for me today. Let me know how if you have a DZ09 watch and how it is performing so far for you. If you have any questions you can ask them below.

A typical example of an app that requires a never ending background service is a pedometer that tracks your steps 24/7. No matter if the app is not in the foreground, you still want to count your steps.
