The Kospet Optimus 2 gadget can confidently be called a smartwatch for everyday wear. It is not just a smart bracelet but a full-fledged watch that, with its massive appearance, demonstrates the owner’s status and commitment to new technologies.

First Impressions of the Kospet Optimus 2 Smartwatch
Starting from the packaging and ending with the design of the watch itself, it can be confidently stated that everything is done beautifully and richly. Such a gadget can be given for a jubilee or as a gift. The Chinese put a lot of effort into the design. Only the massive appearance subtly hints that these watches are definitely not for small female or children’s wrists. They are real “boilers” for a strong and hairy male arm.
The package includes the watch, strap, magnetic charging cable, and connection cables for PC, two microUSB cables, and a mini screwdriver for removing the SIM tray. An interesting point is that the manufacturer claims to include two protective films for the watch’s LCD display. One film is already glued at the factory, and one is included in the kit. The box contains a great instruction manual in different languages for setting up the watch. It is written thoughtfully – everything is clear and accessible.
The watch itself, for a smart device, looks cool. It’s not a plastic toy in the form of a bracelet – the weight of the Kospet Optimus 2 feels appropriate. The assembly is of high quality, buttons work without misalignment. Slightly concerning is the protective glass of the camera. It’s unknown how scratch-resistant it is. The flash is large but does not work in flashlight mode. In general, on the original firmware, the flash does not work. This is at the firmware level of the manufacturer. But thanks to community enthusiasts, the function can be activated (look for it on specialized forums).
Screen, Charging, and Autonomy in the Kospet Optimus 2
The LCD display has some oddities. The Chinese clearly economized. For a resolution of 400×400 pixels, they installed an IPS matrix. Due to this, the text on the screen is slightly blurred. This problem could be fixed with an AMOLED with the same resolution or a higher resolution IPS display, at least 800×800. The way to improve display quality was found through the instructions. If you make the watch face not round but square, the text becomes more readable. But then, the round shape of the watch loses its meaning.
Charging of the Kospet Optimus 2 is implemented at a high level. The store also offers an optional PowerBank for the watch. It’s better not to waste money on that, but instead buy a stylish leather strap. And separately, any PowerBank you like in appearance and volume. This will be practical. The charger does not support Quick Charge technology, but the smartwatch charges very quickly (no more than 2 hours from 5% to 100%).
The manufacturer honestly states the device’s autonomy. In Android mode, the watch will last 2 days (48 hours). In bracelet mode, up to 6 days. This is quite enough considering all the smartphone functions the gadget has.
Wireless Technologies and Camera in the Kospet Optimus 2
The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules work exceptionally well in line of sight. But when you go to another room, the quality of data transmission begins to decline. It’s good that the signal does not drop completely, unlike many Xiaomi gadgets. The conclusion is that there is no built-in antenna in the watch.
The camera works quite well for a smartwatch. Suitable for recording business negotiations, video calls, or entertainment. Don’t expect more. With good lighting and steady hands, photos are decent. But in the evening or indoors with warm lighting, photo quality drops sharply. The flash in the Kospet Optimus 2 is very bright. It’s a bit inconvenient to use it for selfies – it creates a huge glare on the face. But it’s useful as a flashlight.
Special attention is given to GPS operation. It is accurate, fast, and of high quality. It may be A-GPS working through cellular data to receive satellite information. No complaints about working with Google Maps.
Pros and Cons – Summary
In the role of a phone, the Kospet Optimus 2 works well, with good microphone and speaker quality. No issues there. USSD requests work strangely, possibly due to firmware problems. After pressing the call button, all hashes (#) disappear.
Another question for the manufacturer is where is NFC? It’s strange to have a full set of cool features but no popular NFC. However, some people do not trust this technology and prefer to limit it. For them, the Kospet Optimus 2 will be a good choice.
To sum up, the smartwatches are successful in terms of functionality and design. They look great on the wrist, replace a smartphone, work accurately in sports mode. They connect via Bluetooth with various gadgets, equipped with a camera, and have an affordable price. Just a little more autonomy and NFC chip would make it an excellent device for many years.
