Urban Zippy Smartwatch: Design & Build

The round dial design of the Urban Zippy smartwatch is something I’ve always preferred over a rectangular dial. The dual-color silicone strap adds a sporty vibe, winning over the young crowd. The edges of the display coverglass amp up the sporty feel.

Flip it over, and you’ve got a polycarbonate back with spots for the microphone and loudspeaker on the sides. The watch includes two buttons on the side of the dial. Surprisingly, it’s not a heavyweight; it’s all about that comfy lightweight feel. Straps? Super soft and comfortable to wear. But hey, if you’ve got skinny wrists like mine, you might want to think again before buying this one.

Overall, the Urban Zippy smartwatch is very well-built. The brand took care of everything to ensure that the smartwatch looks stylish from every angle. If you want to rock the style game, this might just be your wrist’s new best friend.

Urban Zippy Smartwatch: Display

The Urban Zippy smartwatch is equipped with a 1.3-inch AMOLED screen. You get an always-on display feature with this AMOLED panel, which uses a lot more power than you might expect. However, it ensures content visibility even in direct sunlight. The display is bright, and the always-on feature functions seamlessly. The touch response of the display is both responsive and smooth, contributing to an overall smooth interface. If you’re a fan of big displays on a smartwatch, the Urban Zippy proves to be an ideal choice.

Urban Zippy Smartwatch: Features

Now, let’s delve into the array of features offered by this smartwatch and see whether they justify the price you are paying.

Bluetooth Calling: The smartwatch offers Bluetooth calling capabilities, complete with a built-in microphone and speaker. Once paired with the device, the calling feature works seamlessly, and users can toggle it on or off in the smartwatch settings. Additionally, the watch provides a dialer and a contacts list for convenient dialing directly from the device.

Health Features: The smartwatch offers various health-related features, including monitoring heart rate and blood oxygen levels (SpO2). While it includes Blood Pressure tracking, it’s acknowledged as somewhat gimmicky and unable to measure actual blood pressure for obvious reasons. The device also provides a calorie meter, sedentary alerts, drink water reminders, and standard smartwatch notifications. Users can opt for continuous heart rate tracking throughout the day, and with a vast selection of over 120 sports modes, the smartwatch has a diverse range of physical activities.

Other Features: Prioritizing both entertainment and practicality, the smartwatch comes equipped with built-in games and supports an AI Voice Assistant. It allows users to track steps, burn calories, and engage in over 123 sports activities—all on their wrists.

Urban Smart Fit App Experience

The Urban Zippy smartwatch connects to your phone through the Smart Fit app. The app is simple and shows your health readings on the main page. You can find all the watch settings in the Device tab and easily adjust them.

For watch faces, there’s a large collection of ready-made faces. You can also create a custom face to match your clothes. There are over 100 watch faces, and seven of them can be personalized. Just take a picture of your subject, and the AI watch face maker will create some options for you to pick from.

Urban Zippy Smartwatch: Connectivity

Once paired with a smartphone, the connection remains smooth, and the synchronization of watch faces is notably quick and decent. Here are some functions that you can find in the smartwatch:

Urban Zippy Smartwatch: Battery

Here’s the juice on Urban Zippy – the battery life is a real crowd-pleaser. The brand promises a solid 10 days on a full charge, and guess what? Our test agrees – pretty spot on. But, if you’re all about the “Always on time” vibe, expect 4 to 5 days max.

The package brings a magnetic dock charger that hooks up with the watch in a breeze. And topping up? Just an hour, and you’re back at 100 percent. Now, that’s a sweet deal!

Giznext Verdict

Overall, Urban Zippy is a stylish smartwatch that combines a trendy design with good features. With its round dial, dual-color silicone strap, and sporty feel, it captivates the younger crowd. The AMOLED display is decent, though the always-on feature drains the battery. Packed with Bluetooth calling, health tracking, and an AI Voice Assistant, it’s an ideal companion. Urban Zippy is a fashionable, functional choice for tech-savvy youngsters.
