The Activities Tab: Customizing Your Experience

The activities tab lets you turn on and off these options, uh plus you can rearrange them to your preferred sequence which is pretty awesome. Plus, there is also a phone remote control option that you can set depending on your preference again and this can be activated with the main hope button that's on top of the naoo watch. The display tab is where you can set clock style screen brightness screen timer out set wrist placement enable WG gesture and set what to display when you look at the watch. As you can see, I've set it to display the time because both the font and the brightness of the Chrono display is just very difficult to read quickly while the secondary display at the bottom is much more visibly accessible.

Moving on to the Watch Setting, you can sync the watch time with your phone or you can set it to manually. The world time option can be set here as well with any time zone, uh depending on your preference and finally, you have the option to toggle the watch to chime every hour which is a little bit weird and the best part is that once these settings are adjusted, it reflects on the Naboo watch almost immediately which is very much appreciated. You can turn on sleep tracking manage alarms directly within the app rather than setting it off the watch uh and you have three of them which is great.

The Sleep Tracking Feature: Measuring Your Night Rest

Sleep tracking feature measures movement during your sleep so you can visualize your night rest. However, the watch isn't actually smart enough to enable Do Not Disturb mode during nighttime, resulting in annoying vibrations on your wrist due to incoming notifications. You have to manually go in and enable Do Not Disturb if you want to actually use the sleep tracking feature without being disturbed by all the vibrations.

The Naboo Watch as a Fitness Tracker: Tracking Your Daily Activities

The naoo watch also acts as a fitness tracker, which is nothing too advanced like the Adidas Fitsmart that we reviewed recently. However, it tracks things like your daily steps, distance traveled, calories burned, how active you are, and how well you've slept. In this respect, it did extremely well, um to the watch's size compared to other fitness trackers. I didn't see any inaccuracies or huge discrepancies in testing, so it looks like Razer covered their base as well.

Using the Naboo Watch: A Pleasing Experience

Getting to admit, it was a pleasing experience overall. Sure, it's not as competitive or feature-rich as a motor 360 or an Apple Watch, but I feel that Razer has done a fantastic job implementing the smart module into the Naboo. I get notifications instantly and this includes text messages, phone calls, reminders, Twitter mentions, and even updates on my Uber ride. The list continues with plenty of applications to choose from within the Nebu app.

Battery Life: A Mixed Bag

The battery life was as advertised. The regular digital chronograph is set to last for about 12 months, while the smart module dies within a week. It can be charged via that proprietary magnetic USB cable and it charges fairly quickly, which is right in line for an OLED screen to last that long.

Missing Features: A Missed Opportunity

One thing that really seems to be missing here is any type of integration for gamers. Remember that Razer builds themselves as a company that designs their product for gamers, but the Naboo app and watch don't really include any integration or unique gaming-oriented features. Especially since this is a wearable for gamers, it would have been kind of cool to see some gaming-specific features.

Conclusion: A Semi-Smart Watch with Limitations

I feel like Razer has created a very affordable answer to the Smartwatch competition with the Naboo watch. The design language is not for everyone, but the smart module works as it's supposed to despite that tiny notification screen. The complimenting app is definitely okay, it's got plenty of features built in and the battery life has been excellent throughout our testing. However, I just wish there would have been a bit more focus on including something for gamers since this is a wearable for gamer.

The Verdict: A Discussion Waiting to Happen

Does the Razer Nebo watch satisfy your criteria of what a semi-smart watch would deliver? It has some limitations, and because it's Razor, this is going to be a heated discussion in the comments below. I can already feel it - everybody's keyboard Warriors are coming out! But I totally understand your concerns given its limitations. Leave your thoughts down in the comments below, don't forget to subscribe for more similar content, and we'll see you in the next video.

unique experience and today we have something very different from Razer let's check it out meet the Razer nabo watch this is razer's answer to the competition kind of you see this thing is priced at $149 and that price point is not even close to Motorola Samsung Huawei and even Apple's offerings and Razer is rather approaching the Naboo watch as a regular watch that's smarter and that's really interesting let's just start with the design at first glance anyone down the street would think this is a G-Shock and I would agree with them its form is a perfect throwback to the watches of the past rather than the Sleek designs that other SmartWatches have taking a closer look at it you will find these green accents around the body including the primary four side buttons which brings rasor design language into things the outer shell is coated with a soft touch rubber surface that feels solid but is definitely prone to scratches from you know occasional bumps and stuff the watch display though remains scratch free but cleaning the surface of the display especially around the frame protrusions remains a challenge Razer has equipped this with 5 ATM water resistant rating that over my testing seem to hold up pretty well there are magnetic pins for charging at the bottom and while this may seem like a Sure Fire way to short out the charging mechanism with sweat and any other water that may get through there I did not experience any problems after weeks of intense workouts speaking of charging the nabo uses a proprietary USB based magnetic connector to navigate the digital chronograph you have four side buttons with proper grip and a home button at the top of the watch that activates the smart module that I'll get to shortly Razer also sells a forged edition of the Naboo watch that features machine stainless steel buttons and a more robust build for added toer ability and that will set you back $200 so a $50 premium it was a comfortable experience wearing the Naboo watch the Dual clasps do a great job holding the wristband in place and I can guarantee you'll be fine wearing the unit for the whole day no problem and it's actually lighter than it first appears to be the digital chronograph is pretty straightforward the center Matrix display shows the time including the seconds counting the top display shows the date along with a day letter and a Bluetooth indicator to notify you if the Nebo watch is paired to your phone as I pointed out earlier there are four buttons so two on each side of the watch that can be used to navigate through the chronograph the mode button Cycles through different modes like stopwatch alarm and timer and World Time depending on which time zone you have set up through the app the adjust and set buttons are basic and the light button lights up the display for about 8 seconds until it fades out nicely unfortunately the the brightness of the chronograph is actually uncomfortably low which requires you to power up the light even in Darker settings and I also find the uh font of the numbers to be kind of difficult to read quickly I would love the ability to swap the side buttons as wearing the watch on my left hand means accessing the light button is extremely uncomfortable while having perfect reach to that adjust button now let's talk about this smart feature of the Naboo watch this is a 128x 16 o display and is essentially where the most of the magic happens since it's used for notifications it also remains off until you bring the watch upward to view it which saves battery power the essence of all this smart functionality truly lies in the nabo app available for both Android and iOS and once the app is fired up you have to set up an account with Razer add the nabuo watch in the app and
