G104 Fliptop mobile phone watch with bluetooth




What I like about this model:
  • Detaches from the armband. Not all of us like walking around with a headset all the time. The detachable feature makes it easy to answer the phone without using the bluetooth headset. Other models that have this feature are the T918+, A007 (Silver), A007 (Black), F3 and N388.
  • Fliptop. The fliptop feature resembles the fliptop phones and makes dialing and texting easier than most of the mobile phone watches that use a tiny stylus and requires very good eyesight (which I no longer have!).
  • Dialing pad. The dialing pad makes dialing and texting much easier than using a small stylus on a touch screen.
What I don't like about this model:
  • Battery life is NOT impressive. Only lasts one to two days (if you're lucky!) (The suppliers are apparently looking at improving the battery life)
  • The fliptop feature is really cool, but if you have the habit of often bumping into doors etc, then you might want to take it off when you are indoors
  • The bluetooth headset that comes with the G104 is not very stable - very frustrating. That's why the fliptop feature comes in so handy!
Despite the negatives, this model is still one of my favourites. Check out all the features here.
