Korean Brand Smart Watch Y5 (PrismWatch -Y5) Review: Business Smartwatch with Fitness Tracking

For the past few weeks, I’ve been testing the Korean Brand Smart Watch Y5 (PrismWatch -Y5), a stylish and feature-packed smartwatch promising a blend of business aesthetics and fitness tracking capabilities. This in-depth review delves into its performance, battery life, and overall user experience to help you decide if it’s the right smartwatch for you.

The Y5 boasts a comprehensive feature set, including heart rate monitoring, blood pressure and oxygen level tracking, and even body temperature sensing. The 1.39-inch TFT display is bright and clear, making it easy to read notifications and navigate the menus. Beyond health tracking, it offers multiple sports modes (8+1), Bluetooth calling, music control, and customizable watch faces.

The build quality feels solid. The zinc alloy casing gives it a premium feel, and the silicone band is comfortable even during extended wear. The responsiveness of the touchscreen is excellent, and I experienced no lag during navigation.

In terms of performance, the Y5 exceeded my expectations. The accuracy of the heart rate monitor compared favorably with dedicated fitness trackers I’ve used in the past. The blood oxygen and blood pressure readings seem reasonable, though I recommend consulting a medical professional for accurate diagnoses. The GPS functionality, while not built-in, works seamlessly when connected to my phone.

Battery life is another strong point. I consistently achieved 5-6 days of usage on a single charge, with moderate use including notifications, fitness tracking, and occasional calls. Standby time easily reached the advertised 25-30 days.

The Bluetooth calling feature worked reliably, and call quality was surprisingly good for a smartwatch. The voice assistant integration was functional but could use some improvement in terms of responsiveness and accuracy.

Pros:

  • Excellent battery life
  • Accurate health monitoring features
  • Premium build quality
  • Comfortable and adjustable band
  • Bright and clear display
  • Reliable Bluetooth calling

Cons:

  • Voice assistant could be more responsive
  • No built-in GPS
  • Some features may require improvement in accuracy

The Korean Brand Smart Watch Y5 (PrismWatch -Y5) is a solid all-around smartwatch. Its combination of stylish design, comprehensive feature set, excellent battery life, and accurate health tracking makes it a great value for its price. While there’s room for improvement in a few areas, the overall experience is positive and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and feature-rich smartwatch.
