KOSPETKOSPET Tank T3 Ultra 2 Smart Watch for Men GPS, Extra-Long Battery, Full Stainless Steel Body Rugged Smartwatch with Bluetooth Calling, 1.43" AMOLED Display, Pressure&Altitude&Compass

I had previously bought the Kospet Tank T3 ultra and had a positive experience with it. Consequently, when they announced the new model, I decided to try it out and see if there were improvements. Here are the pros and cons and improvements.Observations:1. Both models have outstanding hardware.-The screen is bright and clear and readable in sunlight.-The battery life is outstanding: I don't have the always on display turned on, but have a lot of notifications, some alarms and continuous heart rate, blood oxygen and blood pressure monitoring turned on. I also use the bluetooth calling quite frequently to make and answer phone calls. For the Ultra I routinely get 15 to 20 days before the battery life drops to 25 to 30% and I charge it again. The Ultra 2 battery is at 97% today 28 hours after it was charged so it is on track to deliver the same battery life. (Update - it is at 90% now after 3 days)-Bluetooth calling works well: the audio is clear on both sides and I can manage to do a call while walking home from work or in other settings- Resting heart rate: on Ultra it matched my polar chest strap exactly. Only ultra 2 it is almost 5 points higherExercise Heart rate: on Ultra it generated some very high numbers that were unrealistic. Ultra 2 seems to have fixed this, but for both the time patterns and the values are noisy compared to a Polar chest strap. I think Kospet still needs to improve their smoothing algorithm for the raw data that is coming in to get better heart rate estimates.- Blood Oxygen seems to work on both Ultra and Ultra 2matching other devices althought sometimes it generates a ridiculous number- Blood Pressure: On both Ultra and Ultra 2 the numbers do not match a cuff device. It is possible that the departures from the average true value are similar but it is not easy to assess this. Other watches allow a manual calibration by allowing the user to enter and store the value from a blood pressure device and then calibrating to those numbers. I get very good results from watches (e.g., E500) that have this feature - after sufficient data has been added. Kospet needs to upgrade the software to add this feature.Notifications: generally seem to work from most apps, but are not always coming through for Samsung messages. Also I get things lie 5 messages from yahoo mail but no details. The message length is also limited, which is ok. This is still an area where improvements will be welcome.GPS: works very well on both Ultra and Ultra 2Exercises: Large choice and some are auto detected but I have turned this off. Mostly useful to track heart rate, but since that is not very accurate until they improve the algorithm, I have the auto feature turned off. I think the heart rate/exercise numbers are probably ok for comparison of what you did from day to day, but they will not match a professional sensor.Watch Faces; My favorite watch face on the ultra had a call and a notification button, so you could quickly get to these functions and the other metrics were nicely and clearly displayed. Apparently this has been removed for Ultra 2. I communicated with Kospet and they will look into making it available but it was surprising that they took the most useful watchface and removed it. I think all the ones they have now are not active - i.e. there is nothing you can touch on the screen to activate a function. Perhaps that was the design choice, but it is not a good one. They were responsive with updates on Ultra so we will see if that happens on Ultra 2.Alarms: The alarms are loud and audio -- that is good, but a vibration (strong) only option would be good to have too so others are not bothered. This is a feature they need to add. The notifications have a vibration feature, but even at the "strong" option it is hard to feel in Ultra 2. It was stronger in Ultra.Third party connections: Only STrave is offered. Others offered Google Fit etc.Voice Assistant: I have never been able to make it work on Ultra or Ultra 2 - you click the "Tap the screen to speak" and it starts a 6 second countdown, but nothing happens when you speak - you are back to "Tap the screen to speak", so this function does not seem to exist.In summary, compared to other similarly priced watches, hardware seems excellent, software is similar - health metrics are not as accurate as one would like, features work well

I’m a 77 year of male from Michigan, and I’ve owned many different types of watches and watch brands in my life with some of them worth many hundreds of dollars like my “Seiko 4 dial Pilots Chronograph Watch”, which was state of the art when I purchased it, and a couple of Citizen Pilot Chronograph watches as well. However the new modern watches like the Kospet Tank M3 Ultra, Tank T3 Ultra and the Tank X2 Ultra watches offer so much more than just an accurate watch, and now offer everything from keeping track of your footsteps, your blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels etc., and when it comes to exercising the Kospet watches track 170 different types of exercises among other things like keeping track of your walks and showing you where you’ve traveled so you can back track if you wanted to, along with a built in compass and hundreds of different watch faces and much more. The phone call quality is second to none and nobody can tell if you’re talking on a watch or a phone, as the clarity is that good.I’ve purchased all 3 of the Kospet Ultra Watches and I can’t say enough good things about them, but what really sets this company apart from the others is their customer service. I ordered the new “Tank T3 Ultra” and mentioned that the battery on my “Tank M3 Ultra” wasn’t lasting but a few days, and I didn’t have my order info. Regardless they helped me to verify my purchase and I was absolutely blown away by the care I received from 2 of the most wonderful ladies by the name of Celine, and Lucy who bent over backwards to make sure I was completely satisfied, and replaced my watch the very next day with a brand new one, and apologized to me over and over again for my inconvenience. I’ve never been treated this well by any other company in my entire life. This company truly wants you to be happy and satisfied with your watch, and I’ll buy from them and recommend them as long as they continue to build these great watches and offer this superb level of customer service.Thank you, Celine, and Lucy for taking such great care of me.
