With stainless steel bezel, I find the AllCall W1 to be elegant looking and classy, plus the tic and number markings on its bezel add a feeling of premium look to the wearble. Available in silver and black color, the device has a synthetic leather and stainless steel strap.

From up to down shows the basic setup and swiping again from right to left shows the settings such as connectivity, GPS, brightness. While from down to up shows the weather. It’s a pretty direct operation of the W1, very easy to use and everything is very accessible, it takes only a few minutes to learn the in’s and out’s of the smartwatch.
