Wearfit Pro Watch: Your Photo on the Face, Your Calls on the Wrist

The AOC E07 is the most popular of the three: a square 1.96-inch AMOLED screen, calls answered from the wrist and a ChatGPT-based voice assistant, in silver, black or white. The AOC Z17 trades the square for a round 1.43-inch AMOLED dial on a 20mm strap, which reads more like a classic watch. The Yihou AW83 keeps the round face and adds an AI voice translator, in gray, rose gold or black.

• AOC E07: the big, bright square for people who want to read messages without squinting.
• AOC Z17: the round dial that passes for a traditional watch at dinner, with straps you can swap in seconds.
• Yihou AW83: the round travel companion that listens in one language and answers in another.

All three share the everyday basics that make a Wearfit Pro smart watch worth strapping on. Heart rate and sleep tracking run in the background, more than 100 sport modes log workouts, and calls, texts and app alerts buzz on the wrist. A built-in speaker and microphone let you talk hands-free while the phone stays in a bag.

The phone side feels the same whichever case you choose. You install Wearfit Pro on iPhone or Android, pair once, and pick faces from its gallery or build one from your own photo. The app setup walk-through covers pairing and permissions, and the AOC E07 notes go deeper on the square favourite.

Screen size is where any Wearfit Pro watch size question starts. The E07's 1.96-inch square is a large AMOLED for a phone-paired watch, so long messages, workout stats and photo faces stay easy to read. The 1.43-inch round dial on the Z17 and AW83 looks closer to a traditional analogue watch on the wrist.

Finish comes next. The E07 in silver catches light like a steel watch, black disappears under a shirt cuff, and white lifts a summer outfit. The AW83 runs from soft gray to rose gold to black, so it can stay quiet or turn warm. Rose gold flatters warm skin tones and gold jewellery; black suits anything from a hoodie to a suit.

1. Pick the shape you already reach for in a regular watch.
2. Pick the finish that matches the metal you wear most, from rings to belt buckles.
3. Pick the extra: the biggest screen (E07), easy strap swaps (Z17) or spoken translation (AW83).

Strap width matters if you like changing looks. The E07 takes a 22mm band and the Z17 a 20mm band, both common quick-release sizes, so a whole drawer of straps opens up. Yihou does not publish a band width for the AW83, so measure between the lugs before ordering a spare.

Water is the question wearers raise most. The AOC E07 and Z17 carry an IP67 rating, which under the IEC standard means dust-tight and able to survive half an hour under a metre of water. Rain, hand-washing and sweaty workouts are covered. AOC warns against hot water, so take the watch off before a hot shower, a sauna or a hot tub.

The Yihou AW83 is sold as waterproof but without an IP number. Treat it as safe for rain and washing up, and leave it dry at the pool.

• Battery: around 7 days of typical use on the E07 (AOC quotes up to 10 for the silver and black) and around a week on the Z17 and AW83, less with heavy calling.
• Charging: about an hour on the E07 and Z17, around two hours on the AW83, using the magnetic cable from the box.
• Calls: all three answer and dial from the wrist over Bluetooth, and the E07 names Bluetooth 5.3.
• Voice: ChatGPT-based answers and reminders on the E07; an AI assistant on the Z17 that also turns the music volume and fires the phone camera; a translator plus assistant on the AW83.
• Location: none has its own GPS. The AW83 borrows the phone's position, while the AOC pair estimate distance from your steps.

The AOC watches run a light real-time operating system, and the AW83 runs its own firmware built around the Wearfit Pro app. That means faces, alerts, health data and calls, but no app store on the wrist. The call setting how-to explains the second Bluetooth link that wrist calls need.

On a square AMOLED like the E07's, photo faces fill the screen edge to edge, so portraits and bold graphics look their best. A round dial rewards simpler designs: a centred photo, a classic analogue layout or a minimal face with a single extra. Dark backgrounds help on every AMOLED, because black pixels stay switched off and the battery stretches further.

• Workday: a clean analogue face, a black or silver case and a plain silicone strap.
• Weekend: a photo face and a bright strap in a colour you would never wear to the office.
• Evening out: the round Z17 or AW83 in black or rose gold with a slim band, and a dark face so the screen glows softly.
• Gym: a data-heavy face with steps, heart rate and time, on the silicone strap.

The silver E07 and the Z17 come with two bands in the box, so there is a spare from day one. Beyond those, the Z17's 20mm and the E07's 22mm widths match standard quick-release straps in silicone, nylon, leather and metal mesh. Quick-release pins slide out with a fingernail, no tool required.

Colour pairing is simple once you think of the watch as an accessory. Match the case to your jewellery, the strap to your shoes or bag, and the face to the mood of the day. The watch face how-to shows where the free gallery sits in the app and how to crop a photo so it centres on a round screen.

So the market splits three ways: the watches, the chargers that keep them running and the straps that change their look. Watches are the heart of it. Chargers matter because most Wearfit Pro watches use a magnetic puck or cradle shaped for one model, and a lost cable can sideline a watch that still works perfectly.

• Watches: square and round cases, AMOLED on the newer AOC and Yihou models, calls on nearly every current one.
• Chargers: magnetic docks and cables, each matched to a model family such as the HW22.
• Straps: quick-release silicone, nylon and metal bands in the common 20mm and 22mm widths, plus bands cut for one model, such as FoundEast's for the E07.

The HW22 magnetic charging dock answers a familiar problem: the original cable gets lost, frayed or left at work. It holds an HW22 upright on a small stand at the end of a 30cm USB lead, which suits a bedside table or a desk. It is shaped for the HW22 alone. E07 owners have their own spare in Lamshaw's cable, while Z17 and AW83 owners should keep the cable from the box safe.

Treat model numbers as style labels. Ultra, 8 or Series 9 on a phone-paired watch describes the look it borrows, not a generation from one maker, and two watches with the same name can differ inside. The Ultra, 8 and HK9 Pro comparison sorts the names, and the charger and band fixes cover docks that stop working.

1. Morning: a vibrating alarm wakes you without waking the house, and the sleep screen shows how the night split between light and deep sleep, with REM stages on the Z17.
2. Commute: a text lights up the screen; read it on the wrist and, on the AW83, send a quick reply.
3. Desk: a sedentary alert nudges you to stand on the AW83, and guided breathing on the E07 calms a busy afternoon.
4. Lunch walk: steps, distance and calories build up; start one of the 100-plus sport modes for a proper workout log.
5. Evening: a call rings on the wrist while your hands are full of groceries; tap to answer and talk through the speaker.
6. Night: charge it, or keep it on to log sleep and top up over breakfast.

Calls deserve a realistic picture. A watch speaker is small, so it suits short calls in a quiet room or a parked car more than a busy street. Answering needs the second Bluetooth audio link, which pairs in the phone's Bluetooth settings rather than inside the app.

The AI extras shine when your hands are busy. Ask the E07 a quick question or set a reminder by voice, or on the Z17 skip a track and trigger the phone's camera from the wrist. On the AW83, speak a sentence and let the translator return it in another language at a market stall or a hotel desk.

Health readings are for trends, not diagnoses. Resting heart rate, sleep length and stress scores are useful week to week in the app, while a medical device stays the tool for a medical question. The plain-English manual explains each reading and every swipe.

1. Charge it first. Snap on the magnetic cable and let the battery fill; about an hour does it on the AOC watches.
2. Install Wearfit Pro on your phone and allow Bluetooth, notifications and, on Android, background running.
3. Pair inside Wearfit Pro rather than through Bluetooth settings on the phone, then add the call link when the watch prompts you.
4. Let the clock sync. The watch takes its time from the phone; switch between 12 and 24-hour in the app.
5. Choose a face from the gallery or from your photos.
6. Set the strap just above the knobbly bone of your wrist, snug so the optical sensor keeps skin contact.

A fair Wearfit Pro watch review comes down to expectations. These are fashion-forward smartwatches with bright AMOLED screens, wrist calls and AI voice features for a fraction of a flagship's cost. They do not run third-party apps, they lack built-in GPS, and their health figures are estimates.

• Wear one for: a look you can change daily, alerts on the wrist, hands-free calls and a week or more between charges.
• Pass on one for: marathon training with GPS maps, a library of watch apps or medical-grade tracking.

A watch stuck on the wrong hour or the wrong language is a settings fix, and the clock and language steps walk through it. What watches, docks and replacement screens cost sits in the price ranges overview.
