Right on Mr. Ticks! Another fantastic vid, and this one with a watch that will work on Verizon, as well as having all the improvements so many of us craved. And thanks to your awesome reviews I bought the Genesis, and loved it until I switched to Verizon. As it didn't work on that network I sold it to another person, and he absolutely loves it. Your reviews and answers to questions are priceless, and very much appreciated. Take care sir!
Great news Lawrence! As for the code stuff, I'd suggest you apply the $20 discount for items over $199 ( use link: a.aliexpress.com/_pJ40BFF ), and when you get to the checkout page enter my special $30 discount code ( LOKMATAPPLLP ) to take an ADDITIONAL $30 off. Now I'm not totally sure you can use both the Aliexpress $20 discount AND my $30 discount code, but you can try. Either way you should get a final price before you put in your credit card information and complete your order. I will be way cool if you can actually get $50 off, so please reply to this thread if it works for you. Enjoy your new watch!!
@@SWT Thanks buddy! As I wasn't having luck on ny phone, I went to the website on my computer and was able to find where to apply code. I'll try your two methods and hope for the fifty bucks off. I'm paying the $60+ for DHL shipping to get it around March 5th instead of April 20, so if I save fifty-great! If not, 30 is still awesome! I'll keep you posted. And if this watch gets more use time(less than a day as a stand alone phone) than the Galaxy Watch 3 I had that will be most excellent!
@@lawrencewallace7501 I hope you've ordered yours. I just checked the above link and Aliexpress has lowered the "over $199" coupon deal from $20 to $10, and even that is scheduled to end in three days.
@@SWT After reading your answer to another of your fans that Bangood had better shipping results I didn't order yet, plus I wasn't able to get both discounts-at least I wasn't able to figure out how to. Then I was wondering if I was ordering the prototype9from Ali), and if I should wait for the Chinese holiday to be over and get the finalized watch from Bangood. Any thoughts? I am absolutely excited to have this beauty on my wrist. Thanks buddy!
Wow, you have me salivating over another watch. This design is my favorite of all the watches you review. The upgrade is really nice. I'm not big on the cameras on the watch but the front facing one does look nice. 👌👍🏼
Demand. I like that. Perhaps we'll have better luck 'demanding' from China than we do demanding from Apple Computer (oops, I forgot, they dropped the 'computer' in the name when they got beyond being an innovative startup, way before they built their six generations of a one-and-only watch design). I prefer 'influencing' China to innovate, as they have shown with this watch they can, and are willing, to do.
Howdy Mr. Ticks! Thank you so much for alerting me to the APPLLP MAX! I tried to buy a second TicWris MAX from GearBest, but the purchase fell through and I had to get a refund. Soon after that, one of the straps broke off the one I already have, but that's okay. Now it's a miniature clock! Anyway, I should have kept paying more attention to your channel. But thank God I had no idea there were improved versions, because I can't afford to buy them all as they came out. But now this APPLLP MAX looks like a full generation of evolution as opposed to mere upgrades, so I'm animated about the product! I watched this video and read all the comments, and I'm looking forward to your full review. Thanks for everything. - P.S.: I did not realize the value of viewing your videos and clicking on your links. It will be a pleasure to compensate you in that way. - Take care and stay alive!
Thanks for the kind words, WD. Yea, pretty amazing when you're away for awhile then check back in you can really see the market improvements over time. This is radically different in many ways, but will still have bugs to chase down and its own incremental improvements we will all desire. But its a step in a different direction, and that's good.
Mr. Ticks, can you ask the companies to release an Android watch phone with an e-ink display? It could be black and white or they even make color e-ink display that looks amazing. The huge advantages would be: 1) battery life would dramatically increase, 2) excellent outdoor visibility 3) thinner, lighter and more compact 4) display is not harmful to the eyes. That would be a game changer!!! Look at the Hisense A7 and A7 CC smartphones that were recently released.
There hasn't been strong interest in e-ink for any watches, let alone Android watches, though I have reviewed a few in the past few years. Generally the refresh rate and color saturation is so poor, especially for things like video or scrolling, that I doubt they will look into it. With Pebble's demise, e-ink kinda stopped developing.
@@SWT Thank you very much for the reply. I have seen reviews that you have done of android watches with transflective LCDs but none with e-ink displays. With the new Kaleido color e-ink display the color saturation is improved and the refresh rate is good for watching videos although I find that watches are not that great for watching videos or looking at photos.
Big Question ⁉️😅 which is your main source to buy . Meaning to support purchases. Which link you prefer. Thanks. I'm ordering 1 now. Ohhh another thing it just in black any other colors⁉️👍🏽
I prefer Banggood as the smoothest source with least problems. Aliexpress vendors don't have the breadth and delivery system that are set up by Banggood, which is a bit of an issue during COVID. You'll notice most of my review watches of all kinds come from Banggood.
I wish these Android watches had better GPS sensors : like Galileo enabled for accuracy in Europe for my outdoor activities. I bought all models since the beginning and the most accurate is the one in lem12 but still far away from Garmin, Sunto, Coros devices.
Yea, fitness and health are not high priorities on Android watches, so GPS and heart rate sensors are just basic. Pretty much folks need at least two watches, an Android watch and a true sports/health/fitness watch for everything else. I don't see it changing anytime soon either as the focus is on bigger screens and better cameras and not GPS, NFC, or biometric sensors.
Thanks for the review. Looking forward to the deeper full review 😃 We need a place to discuss these and share experience though, now that they are blocked over at FAW. Are you active in any other forums ?
I'm working on a series of 20 min or so videos as there's a lot to cover. First one goes live tomorrow. I was hoping there might be an XDA forum on A9 smartwatches, but nobody's got the time I guess.
I love it and especially that it comes in rose gold. I agree with the someone who stayed it should come with Android 10 at least or have the ability to update it when setting up the watch. Also, because in the video it was mentioned that it can be used as a small phone, that sets precedence for having an 8mp front camera if possible. But, just wow remarkable regardless.
In bluetooth mode I understand you can't make and receive calls but will it at least show caller id ? Or is there an update by now that allows you bluetooth calls.
Love seeing the evolution of these watches. One potential problem I see on the horizon is that more and more cell phone carriers are requiring all phones have VoLTE. And not just that, but only certain brands (Apple, Samsung, Motorola, etc) only the big names are being allowed on the service (they call it a "whitelist"). I am on AT&T/Cricket service and they no longer allow me to place my sim card in just any phone without automatically blocking my phone number and requiring me to call in and supply the IMEI number on the phone, and it must have VoLTE. Any one else experiencing this issue? AT&T, Verizon, and T-mobile all seem to be switching to this list. I am no longer able to use my Jelly Pro phone because Unihertz is not on the whitelist. And I doubt these Chinese brands of phone/watches are either. 😭
Wow, first I've heard of this. My T-Mobile SIM is working just fine in this APPLLP MAX. Thanks for the warning, and yes, is anyone else experiencing this? If so, which watch are you using?
@@SWT Here is AT&T's current list. Maybe they will add phones to this list at a later date? www.att.com/ecms/dam/att/consumer/help/pdf/Service-Capabilities-Unlocked-Devices-ATT-Network.pdf
@@SWT This isn't supposed to happen till Jan of 2022 but some carriers are jumping the gun. It's because they are dropping 2G and 3G service, and now streamlining which phones can be used with them. It's also a sales ploy to get you to buy the phones they're pushing on their sites.
Nooiiiiiiiiyyyyce! I could probably print a mount that puts the watch face on the inside side of the arm so that I don't have to do as much of a twist action to see and use the screen.
Yea, great idea! You'll see in the longer review that I tried loosening the band a bit so I can rotate it around to put the watch on the inside. Might offer better protection for the screen, too.
Have you inserted a sim card in the watch. I believe I have tried every way and it still says no sim card or sim card malfunction. Could you post the correct way to install it?
I’ve subbed to you and I love your videos, I wouldn’t have been interested in smart watches if it weren’t for you, oh and one more thing do you know that Lemmon LEM4 smart watch, does it have a gyroscope so you can play tilt car games, because I went to a RU-vid video to see some gameplay on it and the man said his gyroscope wasn’t working. Can you please reply if you can and by the way great vid😁
We is usually me and the tech crew at www.fullandroidwatch.org They do a lot of behind the scenes improvements on the OS and firmware to get these things optimized.
Hello Mr. Ticks, on the same page of Aliexpress's description, in one section it reads CPU:MT6761, while down the page it reads CPU:MT676X. Do you know which one it will arrive with, and is there any diff. between the two that makes a diff. in performance? On Bangood's the two places it gives that info are consistent. Thanks buddy
There's actually a lot of things keeping it from being perfect, which is why it's not really ready for a full review yet. Even then, there will be stuff missing, as always. In truth, there is no such thing as a perfect Android smartwatch. Close, possibly, but never perfect.
Idk I received mine yesterday and it detached from the band's and fell in a pool of water this morning. I have yet to have any issue with it at the moment.
I’ve had the older version of the S999 and the front camera was way better on that one. On the new version the quality is bad and way too dark. Why is that are there more people with the same problem? Maybe an update?
Please please keep us post it . I had DM100💪 and give it to my brother as a gift. But now I was thinking to get the MAX , 🔥now I want that 1🔥 can't wait to see specs and release day +Price. Thank you🎉🥳
Sr I have a problema lol 😆 I try to order the watch . Used the coupon $20 off came to 198 and everytime I did at checkout it give me an error. So now I try 1 more time and it says the coupon is already used . Now price came back to $209.99 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽HELP
Wow, I wish I could help, but I don't have any involvement in their purchasing process. You many need to try and cancel out the order that used the coupon first and wait awhile for it to be processed. Otherwise, try buying from the other site. End price should be $189 before shipping, at least that's the current pricing.
@@SWT it says shipping + protection . .. it sucks but ok lost that cash . Nothing can do now. I will let you know when it get here... Not a lost is bc I have those 2 things . Everything is fine

The screens on my Ticwris Max started ghost touching a few months after I bought it. Think I purchased from a less than reputable dealer. Hopefully this device is better, because it looks amazing.
Sorry to hear about your Ticwris Max problems. This one looks like good build quality and I haven't been having any touch issues. Guess that's one good thing about having the black bezels around the edge to minimize ghost or close touches.
Suggest you follow the tutorial I posted on setting up a new Android watch and apply it to the Prime 2. The process is the same. I'm repeating parts of it in the upcoming review of this APPLLP MAX watch but didn't do a separate one for the Prime 2.
Did u buy the watch under my recommendation cuz. Was the first one to tell u about it if u remember tho lol Well it is a good watch but also with some draw backs like we need to download the apk for the pc and then transfer that is a problem Well it is a good watch like really a mini phone whiteout a band totally
Haha, usually I'm already working with the tech team at www.fullandroidwatch.org way before new watches are known to the public. I do appreciate you letting me know. That way I can expect lots of inquiries are about to hit, as has been the case with the s999. Very few folks knew LOKMAT was releasing this one though. The focus has primarily been on the s999, which I'm also trying to get to compare with the APPLLP MAX.
Fullandroidwatch site says this watch is terrible and adviced against it, using your video. But you gave me the impression that this is good. Also, I thought you guys are associated?
@@SWT hello, on the same page of Aliexpress's description, in one section it reads CPU:MT6761, while down the page it reads CPU:MT676X.

You and me both! It's a solid build. I get the sense that it's waterproof but I don't see any actual ratings on it. Definitely the back is sealed and sweat proof, including the brass charging contacts which are on the side.
They are from all over the place! I give you the best links from my partners who send these watches in the show notes under each video review. Please check there first. This watch has two different sources for you to buy.
It's the same process as with the other Android watches, and I've done several tutorials over the past six years regarding everything about watch faces from designing them to installing them. You basically need to drag watch face folders into the "clockskin" folder on the watch, then refresh the watch face index by rebooting the watch or going to the end of the thumbnails and tapping the curved arrow at the 10 o'clock position on the screen. It doesn't make sense to do the same tutorial over and over for each new Android watch that comes to market, Justin.

Hi. I recently purchssed a lokmat 2.8 in watch down loaded news apps cannot receive any alerts what so ever gave permission to push them nothing at all
Any idea if this watch will be updated to Android 10? My company mandates any Android device connecting to company resources have at least Android 10, and may soon be Android 11.
Not yet as I'm busy with analyzing this one right now. Perhaps later I can do a deeper comparison between Android 9 and 10, but at a certain point I begin wandering away from the basic focus of this channel to introduce new watches in all categories. I'll see what I can do when I get a bit caught up.
My favorite way is to install Floating Toucher and setting up the volume+ control on the main screen, that way I can touch the dot and bring it up on top of RU-vid and adjust the volume then put it away. You can find Floating Toucher here: tinyurl.com/androidwatches
We really need a big watch without bezels, with double sim slot and Microsd card, best camera... So we can use it as a sandalone Phone...... It is so easy.
This JUST came out! TF card support in a new Android smartwatch. I'm requesting one for review, but it might sell out before I get one: gbe.st/302FQe3 Amazing price right now, too.
I got the new S999 good luck keeping it on the band, the plastic cradle is so flimsy so shitty that merely walking will allow it to dislodge and hit the ground 😳
Cool... Already have ticwrist max and Ticwrisax s bacause your review. It has camera with top direction. If it is not prototype anymore i think , will buy it. Thnks mr ticks... Greeting from Indonesia.
Doubt that will be coming to a watch platform, especially now that they have 64GB stock memory in them. Very few people would need more in a watch, even recording 4K video for hours at at time (which isn't possible anyway).
Haha, Guess I can eat my words. Don't think it will go to 256GB, but here it is. This JUST came out! I'm requesting one for review, but it might sell out before I get one: gbe.st/302FQe3 Amazing price right now, too.
On my lemfo lem 4 pro the android 5 is on it for me is way too old, on the dm100 at least the android 7 is on it I'm thinking how best to upgrade the android as high as possible on both smartwatches, because there is definitely no on both watches update to android will increase there, does anyone have a tip to increase the two clocks the android?
Any of the ones pictured here in this video. Links to buy them are in the show notes under the video. Separate reviews of each of them are on this channel as well: smartwatchticks.com
I received mine yesterday. The only downside is that the phone/watch tends to come detached from the wrist band quite a bit. So it will be very easy to lose. Hopefully there's a solution for this issue.
If you really lock it in place, it won't detach. It takes a bit of work, as you'll see in my upcoming full review video, but if you check it by pulling on it, you will know if it is securely attached.
Too much bezels ( tell them that thick bezels Make technology look old and retro ) and if there is no Bluetooth 5 with calling its a fail. and please tell them it needs to be in a thinner case with bands that blend smoothly from the case to reduce the boxiness
For the guy who said only adding IP68 waterproofing would make it perfect, and I said there's no such thing as a perfect Android smartwatch, with your comment GORGONISMZ Truth, I rest my case.
I begin to see the future of smatch watch is rectangular and foldable, Beyond certain diameter aka 2" circular watch face is ackward and ugly. So 2.5" rectangular with foldable screen removable is desireable and of my wish 4g/64gb excellent!
Probably get better response if you post this on the Ticwris MAX video. The APPLLP MAX is a totally different watch by a different company produced in a different factory and running different software and firmware.
Greetings, I got one about a week ago. Very happy with new features so far but having issues loading Nova Launcher on it... please advise of next step if any!! Cheers,.
I haven't been exploring alternate launchers on these watches as I'm overloaded just keeping up with stock stuff. The tech crew at www.fullandroidwatch.org generally dive deeper into alternate launchers, watch rooting, etc., so you might ask there.
FYI: For what it's worth, I installed a launcher called "Total Launcher" on a "TicWris MAX 4G Smartwatch/Phone" I used a theme called "☆Trek☆ Total Launcher Theme" and was able to successfully modify and reconfigure it four or five times before moving on to tablets. If Nova doesn't work on the particular watch that you have, you might give it a try. Good luck.
Hey, so I found a work around to try and keep the apps from shutting down. I have the s999 model which is the same specs, 1) install watchdroid and pair 2) install AOA , always on display any should work on Gplay 3)dim all brightness of AOA , to conserv batter, turn it up if u want to look pretty and bright 4),AOA even allows for app short cuts to display while the always on display is on and low, so u can even launch apps as well! Enjoy guys, android 9 with watchdroid notifications still =) I have the ticwris max and s999 (,lokmat) I chose the s999 (lokmat) because it's way faster in response, android 9 and the 4g ram makes a difference for me, plus the front camera is so handy I never have to whip out my phone and the debatable face is a plus, I will be returning my ticwris
Nah, they wanted to rebuild the OS with a different look. The Android 10 implementation is already out by the same company that did the earlier Android versions. See some of the other videos if you're after Android 10.
Yippee!! More to come. I'm working on an in-depth review featuring this prototype AND a final production unit that just came in from Banggood. Gonna be very interesting. Should have it ready in a few days.
