Brought this oversized J watch. Details on the box cover summarize the features pretty much. The digital watch essentially is a GSM /GSP modules fitted in a wrist watch form factor. Usage is pretty simple, put a working GSM SIM into it and then configure the device through SMS commands. Geo fence (configuring alert if the device moves beyond your authorized geography), auto tracking (alerts at specific intervals), over speed alerts are some of the important features of the device. Watch also has an SOS button, when pressed sends location alerts continuously to pre configured numbers. There are 10’s of Shenzen GPS/GSM tracking devices screaming for attention on gadget portals which I assume will do exactly the similar job, innovation here is; fitting all this functionality in a wrist watch form factor. I should say that the task is partially achieved, looking at the oversized nature of the device.

Good
- Functionality is fine, easy configuration through SMS
- Can be used independently by end consumer.
- Device can be integrated by system integrators very easily as communication protocols are given.
- Service providers can enhance usability of this device by providing a location map instead of latitude and longitude values
Bad
- Definitely oversized. I understand the form factor limitations.
- Battery is a big let down. Gives a 4 hour battery backup, which defeats the purpose of this device.
- Device responds by sending latitude and longitude values, you guys need to go to web and use a third party mapping application; say Google J to see the location on map. Will not attribute this as a negative point on the device; system integrators can easily push an intelligent map to end user.
- Does not send latitude/longitude in concealed environments, again will not attribute this to the device as GPS devices, by its virtue need to be open to sky to receive signals.
- It cost me 10K INR, when it reached me, along with duty and shipment from Shenzen.
