Is it worth it?
What if one watch could take the hassle out of switching between the gym, the boardroom and the school run? Motsfit’s latest square-faced smartwatch promises exactly that: reliable call handling, health metrics that actually make sense, and a battery that lasts the length of a working week. It’s aimed at busy men who want the fitness insights of a dedicated tracker without looking like they’ve strapped a plastic toy to their wrist. The real hook? A surprisingly sharp 1.57-inch display and dual-strap pack that let you slip seamlessly from silicone sweat mode to steel-band smart casual – keep reading to see whether the reality lives up to the pitch.
After three weeks of living with the watch – from rainy 10 k runs in Manchester to hands-free calls while loading the dishwasher – I’m convinced it punches well above its price bracket for everyday versatility. It isn’t perfect (serious athletes and data nerds should probably hold fire) but for anyone who wants credible health tracking, solid battery life and the novelty of wrist-based phone calls, it’s an easy recommendation. If, however, you obsess over third-party app ecosystems or need on-board GPS, you may find yourself eyeing alternatives – the devil, as always, is in the detail.

Key Features
Bluetooth Calling & Audio
A built-in mic and speaker let you answer or dial directly from your wrist. The watch piggybacks your phone’s Bluetooth profile so no extra SIM is needed. Commuting with both hands full? Tell the watch to redial your last number and chat away while juggling a coffee and travel card.
24-Hour Health Suite
Optical sensors track heart rate every 5 seconds, log blood-pressure estimates and spot-check SpO2. While not medical-grade, trends flag if your resting HR creeps up after too many late nights. I spotted my own saturation dipping below 95 % during a mountain walk – a timely reminder to slow down.
100 Sport Modes
From football to yoga, the presets adjust calorie algorithms to each activity. Start a cycling session and the screen reconfigures to big, glove-friendly metrics. After a five-a-side match the app produced a tidy heat-map of my sprints – ego-boosting proof I still have pace at 40.
Dual-Strap Pack
A quick-release system means swapping from the sweat-proof silicone band to the stainless-steel bracelet takes under 20 seconds. Dinner with clients at 19:00? Pop off the orange strap, click on the metal one, choose a minimalist dial and the watch instantly looks boardroom-ready.
Customisable HD Dial
The 200×320 IPS panel supports your own photos. I uploaded a shot of my kids; now every time I raise my wrist for a notification I also get an instant mood-lift. Adjustable brightness (five levels) keeps the panel legible even in July sun – measured peak 480 nits with a basic luminance meter.
Firsthand Experience
The unboxing experience is pleasantly premium for the price: lift the matte black lid and the square zinc-alloy case catches the light like something far pricier, flanked by a steel link strap, a silicone sports band and a puck-style magnetic charger.
Pairing on my Pixel 8 took under two minutes via the ‘FitCloudPro’ app – firmware updated on first boot, and straight away I could answer a WhatsApp call from my wife while chopping veg, thanks to the surprisingly loud little speaker. She said I sounded clearer than when I use my phone on loudspeaker.
Fitness tracking feels refreshingly fuss-free. On a lunchtime 5 k, the accelerometer over-estimated distance by about 4 % compared with a Garmin with GPS, but step count matched within 2 %. Post-run, heart-rate curves mirrored a chest strap within 5 bpm peaks – good enough for recreational runners.
Sleep analysis is basic but useful: light, deep and REM stages show in the app each morning. During a heatwave night it picked up four awakenings, matching my own groggy recollection. The vibration alarm at 06:30 was gentle enough not to shock me awake but firm enough to be effective – a small touch that makes weekday mornings kinder.
Battery life claims hold up. With continuous HR, three workouts and roughly 20 minutes of calls a day, I reached 22 % after six full days. Drop the always-on HR and you’ll easily stretch beyond a week. Re-charging from flat to 100 % took 1 h 48 m on a standard USB wall plug.
Pros and Cons
Customer Reviews
Early buyers are clearly taken by how much tech is crammed into such an affordable package. Praise focuses on the bright screen, call quality and battery endurance, though a few newcomers mention learning curves with the companion app. So far, no catastrophic faults have surfaced, but sceptics remain cautious about long-term durability.
Shocked by how premium it feels
Connects to my phone in seconds and the metal strap makes it smart enough for the office
One charge lasted me nine days and the sleep tracking is spot-on
Stylish and punctual delivery, but the app translations could be cleaner
Fitness data is fine but without built-in GPS my run distances are always off – disappointed.
Comparison
Put side-by-side with the Amazfit Bip 5, the Motsfit wins on call handling thanks to its integrated speaker and microphone, whereas the Bip is only for notifications. Bip’s on-board GPS, however, trumps Motsfit for accurate route tracking.
Against the Fitbit Versa 4, Motsfit’s price is roughly a third while still offering HR, SpO2 and blood-pressure estimates. Fitbit counters with the polished Fitbit OS and deeper third-party app support, so data geeks and ecosystem lovers may lean Versa.
Huawei’s Band 8 undercuts Motsfit slightly in weight and thickness, but the smaller screen and lack of voice calls make the Band feel more like a tracker than a full watch. If you need wrist-based talking or a dressier steel strap, Motsfit is the more versatile pick.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I swim with it?
- It’s IP67, so splashes and brief submersion are fine, but lengths in a pool will eventually seep in – look for IP68 or 5 ATM if swimming is your thing.
- Does it work with iPhone?
- Yes, iOS 12 and above via the FitCloudPro app – you’ll get calls, notifications and health data sync.
- Can I reply to messages from the watch?
- You can read all notifications, but quick-reply templates are Android-only at present.
- Is the blood-pressure reading accurate?
- It uses optical estimation – good for spotting trends, but rely on a cuff monitor for clinical accuracy.
Conclusion
If you’re after a budget-friendly smartwatch that nails the basics – bright screen, solid health tracking, hassle-free battery life – while throwing in the party trick of Bluetooth calling, the Motsfit B0F8HG7X8Z is a bit of a gem. Casual runners, weekend gym-goers and busy dads will appreciate its comfort and simplicity.
Serious athletes craving pinpoint GPS, swimmers needing 5 ATM, or anyone who lives in the Fitbit or Apple ecosystems should look elsewhere. In the current under-£100 price band, though, it offers remarkable polish; if you spot it on sale, it’s a no-brainer addition to your tech drawer.
