Original Watch MP4 Player 2GB Black - 1.5-inch Screen

This watch has so many fantastic features.Its just great. An MP4 watch?, incredible!!!!

well, i just got this today in the mail and have yet to try the video, but for the music its as simple as drag and droping the music files into the music spot in the watch. one major problem though: while music is playing the screen wont turn off. this sounds like a good thing but now theres an imprint of the date if you look closely at the watch. so basically dont leave the music screen up for more than an hour at a time. (anybody that knows how to turn the screen off while listening to music let me know becuase thats a major dissapointment)

I bought a coulpe of these recently (May 07): Very highly recommended. I don't know if they have newer firmware, but they don't have the limitations described in most of these reviews.
They play SMV files rather than NVX, these are around 200mb per hour at top quality. They also view JPG files without conversion and the clock can be switched between 12/24 hour format. The clock can even be left on all the time - But beward OLED screen burn if you do that! (No, I didn't know it existed before, either!)

I've been looking at these things for some time. Other than questionable quality of construction, the OLED screen alone makes it worth the price. The most likely reason for the enormous size of the video files produced by the software is that the video is actually being uncompressed. MP4 is just a container, not a codec. The software is probably using MP4 format to contain a raw YUV or RGB stream - these are essentially a series of sequential bitmaps with no compression at all. The calculations required to decode compressed (i.e. DivX, XviD) audio/video streams would require a lot more processing and therefore dramatically reduce battery life. In other words, it was a choice between fitting in 100+ hours of video that you couldn't watch more than half an hour of on a single charge, or fitting in 2 hours of video that you could watch all of on a single charge.

I'll narrow down to the pros & cons
Pros: Crystal clear screen,Good battery life,amazing voice recorder
Cons:Bad strap,NXV format(video) will eat up the memory
All in all,its a fantastic watch & I'm glad I got one!

First of all I was kinda skeptic with the whole " China import" thing to the USA. I could not believe when I got the package and it was actually from China lol!! Anyway I got the watch and whiped it out the package and installed the software(Which was easy to install) Everything worked as described. I will be buying from Chinavation again!! So again USA customers you will recieve your product with a tracking # too!! Thanx Chinavation!!!

I recently received my watches and everywhere I go people ask me about them. It's really one of the best gadgets out. I agree with some of the previous reviews in that the screen shows very nicely, the sound quality is good also, the band could definitely use a better design, a better to understand user manual, user created perhaps :) it should be able to accept different video file formats to utitilize the most out of the 2 gigs, it would also be cool to have a built on speaker as an option. Overall, I am pleased with my investment. I have already placed an order for more and am sure that I will return again after those are gone! Thank you to my friends at chinavasion!!!

I LOVE THIS WATCH, AND SO DOES ALL MY POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS, IM BUYING 10 ON MY NEXT ORDER, ONE PROBLEM IS THAT I CANT KEEP THE TIME UP ON THE WATCH

This is a very good watch for the money. It does everything that the product description says. Very good battery life. Super picture. Great sound. Nice fitting band except for clasp. Good software (could compress the video file size more). Was shipped to me very fast. I'm on the east coast USA. Could use more memory for long movies. Better written manual. The time/date feature should allow for 12/24 select format. The backlight should come on faster for telling the time. There is no alarm feature. The usb and head phone jacks should have some type of rubber protective cap. The strap clasp is kinda bulky. The ear jack is 2.5 , 4 segment. But you can adapt this using a stereo 2.5 to 3.5 standard jack, 3 segments. This does work, and now you can plug you watch into any amplified stereo or amplified speakers. It would be nice if the adapter was included. The watch over all is very good. If you are looking for data storage, mp3 (music) / mp4 (video) player / picture viewer, mic recorder, tells time, buy it. You'll like it, don't let the small con's keep you from buying this watch.

Hi!
I'm really happy about the mp4 clock, it's the best mp3/mp4 player I ever had.
But the bracelet got broke, and that's the bad with a non-trademark device. If this would be from Sony, or LG etc. The quality would probobly be better, BUT the price would go dubble...

+ OLED screen 1,5" huger then you belive.
+ Low price about 100-120$ for 2GB Flash memory
+ Nice comfort from the rubber-bracelet.

- Chinese quality from a unknown manufacter.
- NXV format, one episode of simpsons takes about 700MB at highest quality (DVD)
- The clock function is very nice, but theres only clock and date, - no alarm or time set. etc.

Design 4/5 Functions 4/5 Quality 3/5 Price 4/5
Overall: 15/20 Points
Needs firmware upgrades, and perhaps bigger memory, 8GB would be nice.

This watch has some really great features to it. Playing MP3's from the watch is great! The audio is not quite as nice as other MP3 players but still adequate and the volume is loud! :) The display is fantastic!!! A little dark when in an atmosphere of bright light, especially direct sunlight, but otherwise looks beautiful! The color is brilliant and photos look amazing. Videos look really nice on this watch, but I have to agree with the others - the nxv format is the worst! File sizes actually get bigger after encoding. It just doesn't make any sense... The screen is only a tiny 128x128, how on earth does that necessitate over 2gb (which won't even fit the watch) for an hour show? Totally stupid! Other than this detail (which is actually THE detail, since this is sold as a video watch), the other features make this a great buy! I certainly can't complain about the awesome price and the simple fact that you can basically have a USB jump drive right on your wrist wherever you go is awesome. The best part about this watch is its voice recorder. That was actually an unexpected surprise! I have a digital recorder device and one built-in my cell phone... both suck by comparison! I would recommend this watch to guitar players and musicians because the quality of the voice option is the best I've heard in a tiny device. If you want to capture a song idea or a guitar lick, this will do it and you'll actually be able to discern what you played. ;) I would love to find out that they added a firmware upgrade than enables more video formats, but until such time, I'm happy with what I got.

I received my sample yesterday. The watch is fine, quality seems to be ok.
The weak spot is the user booklet. Written in a langage that no one could understand, using english vocabulary but in absolutely no-understandable way!!!
So I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out what was the meaning of each sentence.
I am going to write my own users manual for my french speaking customers, since a translation of your booklet is "Mission impossible" . Otherwise, great gadget, super-packaging, fast delivery.

Hello, I come from France. I bought this watch there is little of temp. She(it) is fantastic. She(it) works perfectly. Really corresponding to the déscription. The quality of the sound is very good!
The delivery was fast. Thanks to all the team of chinavasion.

I WAS QUITE ASTONISHED TO RECEIVE THE MP4 WATCH FROM YOU AS I HAVE SEEN THESE TYPES OF WATCHES ONLY IN JAMES BOND MOVIES. THE PICTURE QUALITY IS EXCELLENT. THANKS TO CHINAVASION. REGARDS SELVAKUMAR, JAPAN.

This mp4 watch is excellent, but I must say it toke a while before I knew how to put files on this watch:) The OLED screen has fantastic colors and is very bright, the sound quality is very amazing, the battery life is good also, only the clasp on the strap goes open to fast but a part from that this is a very cool gadget and I am very happy with it:)

First off: this is a GREAT gadget! For what this watch is meant to do (play MP3's and videos) it does really well. The OLED screen is fantastic for color and clarity and the sound on this watch is amazingly clear and LOUD.

Now for what this watch doesn't do. Unfortunately, the designers could have easily built a few more common features into this watch to make it a true replacement for your current watch. First thing you notice is that the time display is only available in 24 hour format (unless I missed how to change it somewhere but I don't think so). It does not have a stopwatch function. It also does not have any database functions for storing things such as Names and telephone numbers. With 2 GB available this would have been useful. Also when in time mode you cannot read the screen at all in any kind of sunlight. Also as mentioned elsewhere, the conversion software is not very good. It actually INCREASES the size of the file from ASF mode to NXV even though it is converting for a much smaller screen. One more thing is the clasp on the strap. It is constantly loosening after using it so that it easily keeps opening up when you slide your sleeve over it. You have to use a pair of pliers to squeeze it tight again and it will last for a while longer.

Please don't get me wrong though. I am extremely happy with this watch for listening to music and especially watching tv shows I copy onto it. It is a beautiful screen. I just wish the designers would add/fix the above items to make it perfect. Here's to the next release!

Hi, the watch is a good buy i reckon. The reason im not overly excited is coz i just got it and havent gotnt used to it yet. The OLED screen is very good on it and can even be used as a rudimentary flash light i found, after a power cut:) However, the nxv video format is a bit of a joke, its files are huge and an episode of family guy at high quality for example, ate more than half my memory. maybe the developers could review using the nxv format or better adapt it to the watch.

I have this watch, It's awesome - I can use it as a flashdrive to store programs, View Video & Photos, It will record audio with it's built in microphone, and even tell the time. I do wish it would do a slideshow of the photos though. But for the money, this little watch is great. Someone let me know where to get software updates, because I'm sure the manufacturer will add more and more features as time permits.

Great mp4 watch first off, but it dose have a draw back. The watch shows video clips, exp. 2-3mins in high qaulity,1-2.5 hrs dvd in low qaulity. Watch has great sound and can get very loud.
