TechRadar Verdict
The most obvious thing about the Mibro Watch GS Explorer is how cheap it is.
That’s why I was so intrigued when the Watch GS Explorer dropped through my door.
Does that sound too good to be true?
Surely they’ve cut some corners somewhere.
It’s been sitting there for around two months.
Lets begin with the design.
Having used the watch in wet and cold conditions, I can testify that it’s durable and waterproof.
If your wrist is on the slender side, then this is not the watch for you.
The design is also far too chunky and lacking detail.
You could even call it brutalist.
At the centre of the watch is a 1.32-inch AMOLED display with a 466x466 resolution and 353 PPI.
However, while operating the touch screen, the chunky outer bezel gets in the way of efficient swiping.
It is here that I experienced some of the more significant problems, namely to do with GPS accuracy.
More positively, training stats including heart rate tracking and ground contact time during runs appeared more accurate.
My general feeling of this watch was a mixed bag.
The watch is not available in Australia or China.
