Here's how to apply a discount code when purchasing: 1. First, go to their website using GoCarbinox.com (that tell the company that you came over to shop from watching this video, and helps me out as I get a commission from them if you buy anything -- thanks for the support!) Oh, and in addition to me getting a commission, you get a discount as well by following the rest of these steps. 2. Once you decide what to buy, add it to your cart (don't forget to consider an extra charger and/or screen protector for your investment). 3. When you're done shopping, from your Cart page, clock on Check Out at the bottom. 4. On the Check Out page, you fill in your personal information on the left, and on the right there's a box for Discount Code. Put TICKS in that box. 5. When you tap Apply, the code will be added and you'll see an updated price appear. 6. From this point, you can click Continue to Shipping at the bottom to finish your purchase. Hope this helps! Remember to check the current company code at the top line of the show notes under all the CARBINOX videos. I try and keep it updated. Sometimes they offer 10%, sometime 15%, and occasionally, like on major holidays, up to 25%. You can always use code TICKS for a 20% discount on your entire order.
Thank you for doing such a detailed review. I just purchased my first Carbinox and i'm very excited to try it out. I'm hoping the step counter will be a bit more accurate than the fitbit I currently use. Its really frustrating when my watch suddenly vibrates indicating I hit my step goals when I'm literally sitting in an airplane.
Glad it was helpful! Many of the watches these days monitor the movement but don't actually start tracking 'steps' until there have been 5 to 10 of them. That way they avoid these error steps. Hey, you're not alone. My $300 FitBit Sense counts a step when I pick my nose! Go figure. Oooo, was that oversharing. Sorry.
Good, thorough review, but it concerns me that Carbinox will does not list specs anywhere. How big is the watch? What is the water resistance? Was resistance is a deal breaker for me and if it has any real water resistance capability they would list it somewhere
Of all.the carbinox watches I have, the Spacecrafter is the best one. I have 7 of the models available. The watch faces leave much to be desired. I can't see having a burley lumberjack wearing one and it has a flower bouquet for a watch dial. Actually that does make these watches for anyone wanting one. Even kids.
You are able to see the camera's view on the phone as the phone app switches to the camera display. On the watch you see a trigger button to touch to take pictures. You can tap multiple times for multiple shots. When you swipe out on the watch, the phone returns to the tethering app. In order to actually have the camera image transmitted live to your watch so you can see it there, you would need to consider upgrading to an Android smartwatch and download a camera remote app to both your phone and watch. That's a bit more complicated, but it works with any Android smartwatch. If that's of interest, current Android smartwatches on the market that I've reviewed can be found here: Android 9 Watches Playlist: bit.ly/android9watches Android 10 Watches Playlist: bit.ly/android10watches
Does it have always on display? I know it runs the 🔋 down faster, I have all Samsung smartwatches, they have this feature, it seems to make more sense to me, instead of just a black screen until I want to tell time.
I've been looking for a watch that looks similar to the ones used by the Division agents, and this one looks very close! I hope they ship internationally, their site doesn't say. Edit: They just responded to my email, they do ship international!
Two great pieces of news! First, they actually RESPONDED to your email (that's better than most and matches their claim of good customer support) and second, they do ship Internationally! Third good news will be if the discount code "TICKS" will work for you during checkout to get 20% knocked off the price. It should work no matter where you live. Good luck!
Hey Michelle, sorry to tell you that the Golden days of AMOLED screened Android smartwatches came to an end when the screen size increased beyond 1.39" diameter. That was the largest round AMOLED screens for watches available, and they switched to the backlit TFT/LCD/ETC. style of screens. Even if you look for an older one (Android 5.1) on eBay or Craigslist, you'll be hard pressed to find one with that memory configuration as the AMOLED screened Android watch era preceded the expansion in memory. We also lost Bluetooth calling from Android watches around the same time, but that's another story. I've got a waaayyy out of date spreadsheet focusing on the Android 5.1 thru Android 6 era of Android smartwatches, each with their complete specs, posted on our Smartwatch Resource Center if you want to take a look: tinyurl.com/androidwatches
Ordinary Chinese watch made, modified with better materials and perhaps even better support. Too bad they didn't have a waterproof watch made with thoughtful support and quality materials and full Android
It appears Carbinox is attempting a different business model of staging stock of select smartwatches in the USA for easier and faster distribution. These are their first models and they are focusing on ruggedized build first. If this approach is successful, it would be entirely feasible that they could release a future Android smartwatch with quality build and ruggedized performance. First they need to establish enough name recognition in the market to make such an investment worthwhile. Time will tell, I guess.
I understand, thank you for the message, I believe that the American company would keep an eye on the quality, maybe even the software updates. But I understand it's a test to see if the American customer would buy. Too bad someone doesn't make a quality, waterproof Android watch for sports, that SIM card, locating a lost phone, hiking maps in case of a major emergency, that would be great... Otherwise, you're the best at testing watches on all of TH-cam...
Seemed pretty snappy for me when I reviewed it. There isn't much memory in it since it's not meant for downloading apps and such like Android smartwatches.
Although I'm not finding specific specs on the exact level of waterproofing for this model, the watch itself includes "Swimming" as a fitness activity, as shown here in the video: th-cam.com/video/U4u-skv54Ys/w-d-xo.html So I generally tell my audience that if a watch includes Swimming, then it is intended to be used for swimming and should survive swimming, therefore being waterproof. Also, when I take a careful look at the body of the SPACECRAFTER, it looks solidly sealed with no obvious places where water could easily get in. Without an actual IP67, IP68, 3ATM or 5ATM spec, I chose to call it 'decent waterproofing' in the video as an assumption on my part. Thanks for asking about this. Just to be clear, swimming level waterproofing doesn't include diving or use in hot water. I wouldn't recommend swimming in salt water, like the ocean, either because of the corrosive nature of salt on everything it touches. Surface swimming and an occasional dunk underwater, like washing hands, etc., should probably be OK.
I just received mine today and watched Mr. tick's video and was wondering the same thing I'm glad you asked this question and glad he replied. I messaged carbinox themselves and waiting a reply also. If by chance I get a reply on what it is I will let you guys know thanks. Mr. Ticks Thanks for all your videos they are very helpful!
@@1reaper540 the question is on the site they said it's "water resistant" they don't recommend to take a shower or swim with it because they dont want to ruin your experience. So pretty much they don't want to give you hopium that it's "waterproof"
Well this video say's (Rugged Durable Swimming Smart Watch) so that's partly why I just bought it, but mostly for the Blood Pressure Monitoring feature and I will regularly compare to blood pressure results from MD's office visits and my cuff style BP monitor I have at home. And by the way your presentation is very clear and very informational.
Unfortunately, it seems to be only available in the USA. They do not export to anywhere else! I live in the United Kingdom, so no chance of me being able to purchase anything from this company!
Ah, I remember that day fondly. I was a true Apple fanboy back then, and I was watching his keynote live on TV. We thought it was all over and he was just summarizing what they had shown us about Macs and iPods. Then it happened. Within a half hour of his "one more thing" moment, the world, as we knew it, changed forever. Thanks for the flashback. :)
Another great review of another useless watch. BTW, Mr. Ticks, I hope you'll start uploading your videos in 1080p+ one fine day, because I have 27'' monitors, and 720p looks blurry on them... And if I can have another wish, I hope you'll get a RØDE mic on one fine day, because I also have amazing speakers, and your current mic sounds weird on them, your 's' consonants are super hissy. BUT keep up the great work, I always love watching your vids apart from the audio and video quality issues!
Thanks for the feedback. I've always wanted to be on the "big screen" ever since I was a kid. Nice to know I've made it to 27 inches! I seriously contemplated bumping up to 1080p but backed off during the time of phone 3G to 4G migration to keep the file size small for cellular streaming, especially to smartwatches. Resolution wasn't much of an issue for 1.39" screened watches. Now we face the phaseout of 3G by the carriers due to interference with 5G on the same frequency band resulting to back shifting to 2G on all our old 3G watches. I may have to dumb down videos for watches to 640x480 (old tube TV scanning resolution). Anyway, time to reevaluate again. Thanks for the suggestions.

I like this titan round shape carbinox wrist watch. Please tell me how I get this wrist watch.
Thanks
I just ordered it , hopefully I'm not disappointed...
Hows the watch, what type of phone do you have? Is it worth it?
Thank you for doing such a detailed review. I just purchased my first Carbinox and i'm very excited to try it out.

@@SWT Haha yep I got the same problem, any kind of arm movement and it counts a step.
How do I go about adjusting the date/time? I take it I need to download the APP in order to do so?
Good, thorough review, but it concerns me that Carbinox will does not list specs anywhere. How big is the watch? What is the water resistance? Was resistance is a deal breaker for me and if it has any real water resistance capability they would list it somewhere
How do you set day, date,year? None are correct on my watch. 27:36
Can you tell me what the diameter of the watch face or case is? I can’t seem to find that specification anywhere.
Of all.the carbinox watches I have, the Spacecrafter is the best one. I have 7 of the models available. The watch faces leave much to be desired. I can't see having a burley lumberjack wearing one and it has a flower bouquet for a watch dial. Actually that does make these watches for anyone wanting one. Even kids.
Hi Mr Ticks.
For the shutter function, can you see the camera's view before clicking to take a photo?
You are able to see the camera's view on the phone as the phone app switches to the camera display. On the watch you see a trigger button to touch to take pictures. You can tap multiple times for multiple shots. When you swipe out on the watch, the phone returns to the tethering app. In order to actually have the camera image transmitted live to your watch so you can see it there, you would need to consider upgrading to an Android smartwatch and download a camera remote app to both your phone and watch.

How do you change weather from Celsius to Fahrenheit?
That would be handled within the tethering app.
Do u know how to change the temperature to Fahrenheit?
How is it with IOS on apple?
Does it have always on display? I know it runs the 🔋 down faster, I have all Samsung smartwatches, they have this feature, it seems to make more sense to me, instead of just a black screen until I want to tell time.
No always-on from what I can tell. Sorry.
@@SWT ok. Thanks.

Question , does the 3 led lights stay on 24-7 , when I take of at night the lights are on all night!!
Check your settings in the tethering app and turn off continuous heart rate monitoring if you're not wearing it to bed.
@@SWT tethering app?

review senbono v6, please!?

i wish they would use USB-C instead of regular USB :(

Super slow device. Made just for sell
Seemed pretty snappy for me when I reviewed it. There isn't much memory in it since it's not meant for downloading apps and such like Android smartwatches.
Didn't look slow to me
You said decent waterproofing? Is it waterproof? For swimming etc. Lmk thanks

You included everything but how to SET THE TIME IN MY TIME ZONE??? For crying out load. It’s a watch and I don’t have correct time.
When you pair the watch with your smart phone it automatically sets local time. Good luck.
Would these watches and their apps give china all my information? Serious question.
Bought one for my son. Broke within a year. 👎 Do not buy!
does it have the app stop, like can i download spotify?
Can you answer calls with the ⌚?
This watch is great. They should integrate a feature to answer from watch.

Cool looking watch, might need to get this to pair with my S22 Ultra so I don't get in trouble at work for using my phone, thx✌🏽
Can you add watch faces from third party apps like facer
I like it. I can't buy because i 'm living Vietnam. :((
Is there a countdown timer?
I wait your “tiny little box” as the “one more thing” of Steve Jobs when he was still alive 😍

Is it a transflective screen with constant time display like the amazfits?
No, not this one.

How well does it work with Apple and IOS? Edit: found the watch doesn’t have volume control for the music player. Even 20$ smartwatches have that.
