CONCLUSION

   The THOR PRO by Zeblaze is actually the 2^nd smartwatch I’ve used to date and although it’s not just as good as the Samsung S3 Frontier smartwatch which I’ve been using for a while now it does come very close to it. The THOR PRO screen is actually larger than the one of the S3 Frontier (not quite as vibrant and detailed however) something which I liked a lot. Moving to build quality things are pretty much identical (although the THOR PRO has an IP67 certified housing whereas the S3 Frontier has an IP68 certified one) but when it comes to battery life even though the S3 Frontier has a smaller lithium-ion battery pack (380mAh vs 500mAh) it lasts roughly the same as the THOR PRO. Also although the THOR PRO offers slightly more settings through its various menus its capacitive multi-touch screen is not as responsive as I’d like so at times I’d swipe my finger only to have the screen remain still or move back and forth (as always however this could be isolated only to our sample). Another issue is with the WiiWatch app since it crashed a few times during our tests for no reason at all (it would first freeze and then crash). This of course only occurred with the Android version of the WiiWatch app (tested on the Huawei P9 Lite and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge) and not the iOS one (tested in the iPhone 6 64GB) so do keep that in mind.

  With a current price tag set at just USD75.99 (TOMTOP) the THOR PRO 3G Smartwatch by Zeblaze represents a great value for your money. It’s certainly not the best smartwatch out in the market today and it’s a bit rough around the edges but for people looking for the sweet spot between price and performance (features and quality included) things can’t get better than this which is also why we’re giving it our Golden Award.
