Lige GPS Smart Watch (Men's, Black)

How accurate is the GPS tracking during outdoor activities?

The built-in GPS provides precise location tracking for running, hiking and cycling activities. It records detailed route maps, distance covered and pace information. The GPS works independently of your phone, so you can leave your device at home during workouts. The system typically achieves accuracy within 3-5 metres under clear sky conditions, making it reliable for fitness tracking and navigation purposes.

What is the actual battery life during typical daily use?

The 530mAh battery typically lasts 5-7 days with standard use including notifications, health monitoring and occasional GPS tracking. Heavy GPS use reduces this to 2-3 days, whilst minimal use can extend battery life to 10 days. The 2.5-hour charging time means you can quickly top up the battery during short breaks. Battery performance may vary based on screen brightness, notification frequency and active features.

Can I swim and shower whilst wearing this watch?

Yes, the IP68 waterproof rating protects against water submersion up to 1.5 metres depth for 30 minutes. This makes it suitable for swimming, showering and water sports. However, avoid pressing buttons underwater and rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure. The rating also protects against sweat, rain and accidental water splashes during daily activities.

Which smartphones are compatible with this smartwatch?

The watch works with most Android smartphones running version 5.0 or higher and iPhones running iOS 9.0 or later. You'll need to download the companion app to sync data, receive notifications and customise settings. Bluetooth connectivity handles the connection between devices. Some advanced features may work differently between Android and iOS due to system limitations.

How do the call features work without a SIM card?

The watch connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth to handle calls. When someone calls your phone, you can answer directly on the watch using the built-in speaker and microphone. You can also initiate calls to stored contacts through the watch interface. The call quality is clear for normal conversations, though you'll need your phone within Bluetooth range (typically 10 metres) for this feature to work.

What health metrics does the watch monitor automatically?

The watch continuously monitors heart rate throughout the day and during workouts, providing real-time data and daily averages. Blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring tracks respiratory health with on-demand measurements. Sleep tracking automatically detects when you fall asleep and analyses sleep stages, duration and quality. All data appears on the watch screen and syncs to your phone app for detailed analysis and historical tracking.

How many sports modes are actually useful for regular fitness activities?

Whilst the watch offers 180 sports modes, most people use 10-15 common activities like running, cycling, swimming, walking and gym workouts. Each mode tracks specific metrics relevant to that activity - running tracks pace and distance, swimming counts strokes and laps, cycling monitors speed and route. The extensive selection ensures you can find appropriate tracking for almost any physical activity, from yoga to rock climbing.

What comes included in the box with the watch?

The package includes the smartwatch with pre-installed leather strap, a magnetic charging cable, user manual and warranty information. The leather strap features a magnetic buckle for secure fitting. You'll need to download the smartphone app separately to access full functionality. The charging cable connects magnetically to the watch back for easy charging without fumbling with small connectors.
