LIGE Smart Watch for Men with Answer/Make Calls, 1.75″ HD Display Military Smartwatch with 1000mAh Battery(50+Standby), LED Flashlight, IP68 Waterproof, 120+ Sport Modes,…

I wanted a smartwatch to monitor my exercise, heart rate, and oxygen levels because I have some health issues that have appeared with age. I’m also doing some physical workout I want to monitor the best I can. I found the look of this watch attractive, so I decided to give it a try.

Pros:

– It’s incredibly durable. It’s not a plastic watch that I could break easely. The choice of materials is excellent. I love having a solid metal band and a durable case on a smartwatch. Honestly, it feels like a big brand. The glass used is also good quality. The touchscreen works perfectly.

– The installed apps are perfect for me. I have the weather, a calendar, decent heart rate monitoring, a view of my oxygen levels, my stress level, and my sleep schedule. It’s simply brilliant.

– The interface is very intuitive, I find. You quickly understand how to navigate the apps.

– I really liked that I can use this watch to control the volume level of a Bluetooth speaker connected to my tablet. The watch clearly understands that I don’t want the sound to come out of the watch, but rather to monitor the volume level of the audio already connected to the tablet. Very clever.

– Being able to use this watch as a cell phone camera trigger is pretty nice too.

– The built-in gyroscope works perfectly. I actually have to look at my watch for the screen to automatically turn on, and it turns off as soon as I’m not looking at it anymore. Very fast and energy-efficient.

– It’s definitely waterproof, according to my everyday tests and regular swimming.

– I like that you can even customize the look of the watch with artificial intelligence.

– It’s perfectly compatible with my Samsung Tab S6 Lite tablet. Some other watches are not compatible with tablets so I was happy this one is.

– One of the most important points is that the tool provided for removing links from the bracelet is of unbeatable quality. It is a recurring problem with some other products to get an unscrewing tool that is poorly adapted to the bracelet model and super difficult to align. Often they are too thin and break before you finish adjusting the bracelet.

– Even the original box is really classy and appealing. It makes a great gift.

– The battery doesn’t drain fast in my case. It’s not consuming a lot for my basic activities. After a day it was still showing 100%.

Conclusion :

I couldn’t find any negative aspects about this product. It’s so perfect for me right now that I wouldn’t part with it. I’d give 6 stars on 5 if I could.

I don’t own an Apple Watch or one from other companies like Samsung but this one really feels like it came straight out of a lab striving for perfection, or near-perfection. It’s nothing like some other very modest watches with easily broken parts.

I love it and I’m really happy to have it. I consider it at least $75-100 worth and maybe more. It’s a well-finished product and I haven’t noticed any notable crash. Sometimes the AI ​​server says it’s busy but I think that’s when you’re trying to generate an overly complex image as a background.

I didn’t understand how much I wanted a product like this until I got this watch.

Pour le prix très bien, facile d’utilisation, lors d’un appel entrant où autres vous êtes prévenus sur la montre et quand je réponds avec mon téléphone il n’y a pas de sons a sortir de la montre. Pour la batterie reste a voir l’autonomie mais je pense quelle vas être top.
Conclusion pour 29,90 € pas trop de risques…

J’ai testé la montre connectée LIGE EF12 et je dois dire que je ne m’attendais pas à une telle surprise à ce prix ! Elle promet une autonomie impressionnante, une utilisation polyvalente (sport, appels, santé, quotidien) et un design robuste. Voici mon retour détaillé 👇

✅ Les points positifs

Autonomie XXL grâce à la batterie de 1000 mAh 🔋 (rare sur ce type de smartwatch).

Écran AMOLED 1,75” très lumineux et lisible, même en plein soleil 🌞.

Appels Bluetooth intégrés pratiques pour répondre sans sortir le téléphone 📞.

Plus de 120 modes sportifs avec suivi des performances en temps réel 🏃‍♂️💪.

Robustesse militaire + étanchéité IP68, parfaite pour le sport et l’extérieur 🌧️.

Nombreuses fonctionnalités utiles : lampe torche LED, notifications, suivi du sommeil, assistant vocal, contrôle musique/photo, etc. 🎶📷.

3 bracelets inclus, pour varier les styles entre sport, bureau et sorties 👔🏋️.

❌ Les points négatifs

Pas de GPS intégré : dépendance au smartphone pour le suivi précis des trajets 🚶.

Stockage limité (128 Mo), donc impossible d’y mettre de la musique ou des applis.

Application FitcloudPro parfois un peu lente et pas très intuitive 📲.

Design massif : peut sembler imposant pour les poignets fins.

⭐ Mon verdict

Globalement, la LIGE EF12 est une excellente smartwatch pour son prix. Elle n’a pas les options premium des montres haut de gamme (comme Garmin ou Apple Watch), mais elle remplit largement son rôle : pratique, complète et surtout endurante.

👉 Je recommande 👍 si vous cherchez une montre polyvalente, solide et avec une super autonomie, sans dépenser une fortune.

Ma note : 4,5 / 5 ⭐

What’s Included:
– Watch, 3 x black silicone tactical bands (different designs), magnetic USB charging cable, screen wipe, microfiber towel, warranty/support card & a user manual.

First Impressions:
– I was surprised it came with 3 different watch bands. Looking closely, the bands have slightly different designs/patterns on it for a slightly different look.
– It has a very large 1.75” AMOLED display for sharp clear images while using less power.
– Display is approx. 43.6mm in diameter (glass only) with a similar viewable area. I always have trouble finding a screen protector for the non-brand name/premium watch brands, so I found that the glass screen protectors for a Garmin Fenix 8 51mm works perfectly as the screen protector is 42mm diameter.
– Body measures approx. 54mm wide x 59.5mm long (lug to lug) x 15.1mm thick. The lugs are 24.2mm wide, so it will not work with the more common 22mm bands, so you will need 24mm wide bands.
– The bezel has a nice brushed black chrome look and should work with any outfit.
– Flashlight integrated on the side of the watch.
– Large 1000mAh battery with over 80 days standby time & over 14 days of standard use working time.
– The orange crown functions as a button as well as a functional tactile dial. The bottom crown rotates smoothly but only operates as a button.

First Use:
On initial power on, it brought me straight to the watch face, no setup option. After examining the watch closer, it may have been used/refurbished as the bottom sensors usually has a protective film on it, but this did not and the face protective film was off center. Better QC needed.

I went into the settings and performed a factory reset. On reboot, it prompted for language and allowed to skip the pairing process with an app. Being able to skip the pairing is a good thing in my opinion. I was surprised to find it provided an option to set the time & date manually. This is a very rare thing to find on budget smartwatches, and I was pleasantly surprised it had this feature. This allows the watch to actually function as a watch without the need to be paired with a phone/app to use. This is a major plus for me.

I found going into the settings, it did not have the option to change the date/time. Further investigation, I found the option to change the time under the menu screen (swipe to the right and scroll down to Time) and you can change the time, but not the date.

Checking the settings & menus, I found it allows for continuous health monitoring that checks your heart rate, SpO2 & Blood Pressure/Stress, so you don’t have to manually trigger.

Flashlight:
The watch also has an integrated flashlight, which is currently not available on the premium smartwatches. It’s situated on the right edge of the watch body. There’s no dedicated button for the flashlight, but the bottom button can be programmed to power on/off the flashlight via a long press (5secs). I wish there was a 4th button on the watch that would allow the flashlight to be turned on/off as this would be more convenient in my opinion. If you use the default watch face, it has functional icons on the screen that can turn on the flashlight and change modes from light to strobe to SOS to Off.

Currently, left-handed users get most of the back of their hands lit up and right-handed users will get their entire forearm lit up, so not very useful for righties. Moving the light location to the top edge of the watch as this would be a more ideal location as a left- or right-handed user could use the light.

App:
The phone uses the FitCloudPro app. Installation was simple and pairing the watch was quick, but you will need to provide Bluetooth and GPS location access in order to pair the watch.

The app doesn’t have a lot of options/features but does provide a main dashboard with all the health data, another tab for the adjustable watch settings and your user profile. The watch faces are abundant, but not the best looking.

The health dashboard, although does provide results, it doesn’t have very detailed results like I’ve seen on other LIGE watches that use a different app.

Sensors:
I checked the Blood Pressure function. It takes 60secs to run, which is fairly slow in my opinion. Once done, it showed it was normal, but showed me my value was 42, which was strange as it was only one number and that wouldn’t be considered normal. After further investigation, it seems this is a Stress setting and not blood pressure, so fairly misleading.

Heartrate sensor seems ok as it was capable of providing a reading within a few seconds.

The SPO2 (Blood Oxygen) sensor was similar to the Stress sensor as it took approx. 60secs to complete.

Pros:
– Has ability to set the date and time manually without the need to pair with a phone/app.
– Sensors for heart rate, blood oxygen level, steps, sleep & stress.
– The 1.75” AMOLED display is very large and sharp/bright.
– Built-in flashlight on the side of the watch that provides ok lighting when needed.
– Comes with 3 black tactical silicone watch bands. These bands have quick release pogos and are 23.6mm wide.
– Has a large 1000mAh battery that has been spec’d with over 80 days standby time & over 14 days of standard working time. After 1 week of mild to light use, the battery has dropped down to 90%, so I should be able to get at least a few weeks of use.
– The watch can be paired as a Bluetooth device and turned into a speaker. This actually surprised me. Audio sync was perfect (no delay between the audio and lip movement in videos).
– Can answer/make calls (if within BT range of your phone) straight from the watch and answering from the watch can also be done, turning it into a speakerphone.
– Orange crown on the watch actually functions when rotated in select menus & has a tactile/audible click when turned.

Cons:
– The FitCloudPro app doesn’t provide a lot of information on health data vs other apps I’ve used.
– Flashlight is on the right side of the watch, so it’s ok for left hand users, but doesn’t work well for right hand users. If the light was on the top edge of the watch, it would have worked for both users.
– Watch lug/band width is approx. 24mm wide, which is not as standard as the more common 22mm bands, so you will need to ensure you get the proper bands when replacing.
– AMOLED display doesn’t have AOD (Always On Display) like other watches I’ve tested.

Final Impression:
Overall, the LIGE EF12 is a nice budget smartwatch with the ability to manually set the date/time so it can function as a watch without the need for an app. The design looks good in almost any scenario and with almost any outfit as it comes 3 tactical looking silicone bands. Only minor design changes to the flashlight location would make this watch pretty much perfect.

At the time of this review, the watch was priced at $45.99, and I would put it above other budget smart watches that can’t manually set date/time
