December 25th, 2007Review Of The MP4 Watch
We don’t review too many Chinese products except they appear completely value it, or are just original. But eccentricity doesn’t always promise brightness. We heard the Chinese were the initial to pitch a watch that plays movies on to the shelf of Mumbai’s Lamington Road. It beats me how anyone can watch movies on a teensy screen with one arm held high. Then another time, much of what I see or hear these days don’t make any sense any longer.
The timepiece is simply called ‘MP4 Watch’ and it’s made, I’m sure, by one of those tiny innovative setups that currently flourish in China. I say this because there are no traces of possession anywhere on the box, and the major bargain is the instructions.
The watch isn’t good to look at. Far from it, it’s boxy in shape, and downright cheesy. The display is a 1.8-inch, 56K TFT screen with 160 x 128 pixels. The buttons are placed approximately the side of the player, and a speaker is give just under the screen. The strap accommodates the USB connector, which what time needed, should be taken out and stop keen on the earpiece jack. The USB is not a high-speed one, so it takes ages for anything in the direction of get transferred to the device. 
The earphone jack is a 2.5mm one, which requires you to keep a 3.5mm adapter at all times if you need to use regular earphones. Even though it’s a PMP built into a watch, there’s no way you can use the player only like a wristwatch. The display goes off every few seconds if not anything is on. If you need to make sure the occasion when the player is inactive, you require pressing and holding the Mode button for two seconds.
The MP4 watch is supposed to play NX-AVI format, which in practice means nothing will work unless you use the bundle software. The software doesn’t take much time to change files, and could manage all the avi files we threw at it. However, while playing back you hold to take the timepiece off, or as well it’s damn painful. The small size of the screen only makes substance worse. While resizing, the video gets squeezed and the characters take on a stretched out alien look.
You can play MP3 and WMA formats, which are done perfectly, and there’s also support for WAV. The FM radio is kind crazy. It doesn’t auto-scan, and the welcome sucks! If you’re within, just not call to mind about it. The theatrical has 6 preset EQ modes and a voice recorder. The player can also read text files, but using this feature can be a pain.
As far as sound superiority is concerned, with the given set of earphones you can manage a great deal of decent output. When I say this, I mean sterile volume (it’s loud). The sound is satisfactory with bad bass reply and disturbing trebles. I tried it out with my 3.5mm converter and the sound was just bearable.
Having said every one this, you almost surely don’t require reading the judgment. But hang on if you made it so far. The real stunner is the cost. It has a price tag of Rs 6,500; isn’t that just luminous? You need to cough up over 6K for nothing at all. I’d say you could easily give this one a let pass.
