The Joyroom JR-FC1 Smart Watch promises a lot: making and receiving calls, comprehensive fitness tracking, and a long-lasting battery. But does it deliver on these promises in the real world? After weeks of testing, I’m ready to share my findings.
The JR-FC1 boasts a sleek, dark grey design with a comfortable silicone strap. The 1.28-inch IPS display is vibrant and easy to read, even in bright sunlight. The touch responsiveness is generally good, though occasionally I experienced a slight lag.
Key features include:
- Built-in microphone and speaker for calls
- 94 sports modes
- Heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen, and stress monitoring
- Sleep tracking
- IP68 waterproof rating
- 7-day battery life (up to 14 days standby)

Call quality was surprisingly good for a smartwatch. The speaker volume is adequate, and the microphone picks up my voice clearly, even in moderately noisy environments. Fitness tracking is accurate, although I found the heart rate monitor to be slightly less precise than dedicated fitness trackers during high-intensity workouts.
The battery life lived up to its claims. I consistently got around 7 days of use with moderate usage, including calls, notifications, and fitness tracking. The sleep tracking feature provided detailed insights into my sleep patterns. The IP68 water resistance held up during handwashing and light rain, though I haven’t tested its limits in deeper water.
Pros:
- Excellent call quality
- Long battery life
- Accurate fitness tracking (mostly)
- Vibrant display
- IP68 water resistance
- Comfortable to wear
Cons:
- Occasional touch lag
- Heart rate monitor less precise during intense exercise
- Notifications can be slightly delayed
The Joyroom JR-FC1 Smart Watch is a solid all-around device. Its ability to make and receive calls is a standout feature, and the battery life is impressive. While the heart rate monitor could be improved for high-intensity workouts, and occasional lag is noticeable, the overall performance and feature set make it a worthwhile purchase, particularly at its price point. I would recommend this smartwatch to anyone looking for a versatile and affordable option that combines communication and fitness tracking.
