For weeks, the Active Smartwatch 38101PP01 has been my constant companion, tracking my workouts, monitoring my sleep, and even acting as a surprisingly capable communication device. This review will delve into the details of my experience, highlighting both its strengths and shortcomings.

This smartwatch boasts a plethora of features. The 1.83” TFT display (240*286 resolution) is bright and easily readable, even in direct sunlight. The functional crown adds a satisfying tactile element to navigation. Beyond the impressive screen, it includes:

• Bluetooth Calling
• Auto Stress Monitor
• SpO2 and 24/7 Heart Rate Monitoring
• Sleep Monitoring with REM tracking and Women’s Health features
• Over 100 Sports Modes with Auto Multisport Recognition and AI Coach
• Built-in Games, Alarm, Stopwatch, Timer
• Weather Display, Camera & Music Control
• Customizable Watch Faces
• AI Voice Assistant

In terms of performance, the Active Smartwatch exceeded my expectations in several areas. The GPS accuracy during runs was impressive, and the heart rate monitoring, while not medical-grade, consistently matched my chest strap readings. The battery life is also a highlight, easily lasting a full week on a single charge with moderate usage. However, the responsiveness of the touch screen occasionally lagged, causing minor frustrations.

The AI voice assistant worked reasonably well for basic tasks like setting reminders and making calls, but complex commands were often misinterpreted. The built-in games were a fun distraction, although I found them slightly simplistic.

Pros:

• Long battery life
• Accurate fitness tracking
• Bright and clear display
• Comprehensive health monitoring features
• Bluetooth calling functionality
• Rugged and durable design

Cons:

• Occasional touchscreen lag
• AI voice assistant needs improvement
• Simple built-in games

Overall, the Active Smartwatch 38101PP01 is a solid contender in the budget-friendly rugged smartwatch market. While it has a few minor flaws, its long battery life, accurate fitness tracking, and extensive features outweigh the shortcomings. I would recommend this smartwatch to anyone looking for a reliable and versatile device for fitness and everyday use.
