The Haino Teko Germany G8 Mini 41mm smartwatch has arrived, promising a blend of style and functionality. This review delves into my experience with the G8 Mini (model number G8 Mini), exploring its features, performance, and overall value. I’ve worn it daily for several weeks, putting it through its paces with various activities and apps to give you a realistic assessment.

Features and Specifications

Beyond the specifications, the G8 Mini boasts a sleek design that’s surprisingly comfortable for extended wear. The included additional straps and bracelet add versatility.

Performance and User Experience

Pairing the G8 Mini with both my Android and iOS devices was straightforward, thanks to the Haino Fit app. The app itself is well-designed and intuitive, offering easy access to all the smartwatch’s features. The touchscreen is responsive, and navigating the various menus is generally smooth. The Bluetooth connectivity remained consistently strong throughout my testing, with minimal dropouts during calls.

The heart rate monitor proved surprisingly accurate when compared to other fitness trackers I own. The sleep tracking feature provided detailed insights, although I found the accuracy could be improved in identifying sleep stages. The built-in games are a fun little extra, although they’re not likely to replace your gaming console! The voice assistant functionality works reasonably well for simple tasks but struggles with complex requests.

Battery life is a highlight. I consistently achieved over two days of use on a single charge, even with moderate usage of features such as notifications, heart rate tracking, and the occasional game. This significantly exceeds the expectations of many smartwatches in this price range.

However, there are some areas for improvement. The display brightness could be slightly better in direct sunlight, and the overall notification system could be more customizable. I also experienced some minor lag when switching between apps.
