The GT08 Smartwatch comes with a front facing camera on the top of the unit, colored display, rubber wrist band, the operating system is Android based, towards the side is a cool charge port that covered with an easy pop out flop, loud-speaker and on the other side you have the mic and then to really finish things off you have the dial wheel as on most watches that can turned and be pressed but when turned it has no real functionality at all except when pressed.

If the watch is asleep by pressing the dial wheel it will wake up the watch or put it back to sleep or can act as a home button of sorts when moving through the watch menus.
The watch can also take a SIM card and double as a fully functional standalone phone which is one of the best things about the GT08 Smartwatch which I really love.It can also connect to your smartphone by Bluetooth or your car and can work with Android or an Apple iPhone easily.
This cheap smartwatch attaches to your hand by clamping together which makes it really easy to put on but do watch out as while it easily is put on it can easy be knocked off during intense activities if you are not careful.
The Camera and Microphone
The camera can do still shots or record video depending on what you are aiming for. The quality is not really anything impressive so you may be less than impressed with it.The microphone on the other hand is more practical and you can really use it to record stuff or leave memos. Also the speaker that carries sound is really good and loud.
The Operating system
The watches OS is Android and it OK, you have a home screen and the watch can be set based on your phones time once the watch and your phone is synced. You can also get various clock faces which keeps the look fresh.
There is a dial pad for calling a number if you have a SIM card present. You can view messages and even write or compose a message. You have notification and you can set various privacy setting and even adjust your brightness.
