WeLoop Tommy review

WeLoop Tommy unboxing and review

You can use the app to control the notifications (getting notification from specific applications). You can read the messages, emails etc on the watch itself. You can also get incoming call notification, when you get a call you can cancel the call using the back button from the watch but in case you want to accept the call you will need to use your smartphone.

There is built in pedometer to monitor your steps and you can sync the same with the WeLoop app for more insight on your physical activities. WeLoop Tommy Smartwatch can also be used to control media player and camera on the phone.

For using the handset camera you will need to tap the camera icon in the WeLoop app and then you can use the watch to shoot still images / videos. You will not see any images on the watch instead it will show a counter (the number of shots taken).

Watch faces are supports and there are quite a few good ones available via the WeLoop App (check video review).

There is accelerometer, if you twist your wrist to check the time the backlight will switch on automatically for few seconds.

Battery
You can connect the magnetic cable and charge the Smartwatch to 100% in about 3 hours. Once fully charged the non-removable rechargeable 110 mAh battery will last for almost 21 days with normal usage. With heavy usage (basically with many notifications) you can easily get about a week of battery backup.

Verdict
The major issues with almost all of the smart watches available in the market is the battery backup. The WeLoop Tommy is a basic always on Smartwatch with an excellent battery backup but loaded with minimal features. It works with iOS 7.1+ and Android 4.0+. It is a decent product, specially made for those who love smart watches and don’t like charging it often.
