[Review] Lenovo Watch 9
The hybrid smartwatch is getting a lot of attention in the world of wearables, I think it is one of the best innovation in the world of smartwatches, they are simple to use with its analog time looking like a regular wrist watch, they also have a non-intrusive way of sending notifications and most of all it has a very long battery life, most last from 6 to 1 year of life before replacement of its button battery.
Design
For those who are not familiar with smartwatches particularly hybrids, you might mistaken the Lenovo Watch 9 as just a regular wrist watch that provides time and nothing else.
The Lenovo Watch 9 has a zinc alloy body with a silicon strap, it has a minimalistic design with s single physical button on the side. Very simple yet look beautiful. The wearable has a watch hand for the time, another analog dial type of information on the bottom part of the watch face but hard to identify due to its small font, which I think is a bit useless.
