avalible on DT No.1, Hello Watch, HK and Microwear watches

these includes:

  • photo album

on all watches, compression is applied for better transfer speed and is cropped in the middle to fit the screen. the compression scale is ranked from best to worst:

DT No.1
Hello Watch
HK
Microwear

compression is very minimal, image quality is about 95%. cannot be zoomed in

has more compression, but it isn't noticeable. image can be zoomed in

quality noticeably a bit worse, cannot be zoomed in in older versions, HK10 Pro Max+/Ultra 3 Max can

worst quality, images are very compressed, cannot be zoomed in


  • local music

all watches has a type of audio compression as well, however all of them uses the worse bluetooth 3.0 audio channel for tws connection (exception for HK), leading to crap audio quality, still:

HK
Hello Watch
Microwear, DT No.1

No quality loss at all, sounds great when connected via bluetooth

Still retains some bass and sound is bearable

Zero bass, sound is very flat


  • local recordings

most of them records in mp3, with exception that the microwear watches uses .wav; audio quality is almost the same overall.


  • ebooks (or notes)

Hello Watch
HK
Microwear

handles long text very well, text size is good enough to read

smoother scrolling, better font rendering

slightly bigger font size but interface lags a lot

DT No.1 Watches (on chinese firmware) can import ebooks from the app, however it isn't avalible globally so it won't be mentioned here.


it is also unclear on how much storage these thing have for multimedia, but always assume it's 1 - 2 GB shared with the OS.
