Why you should go for it:

If you are trying to get hand-on experience of a smart watch and with a little budget crunch, Spice Smart Pulse M-9010 is the one for you. It has competitors like Samsung Gear, LG G and Motorola 360, but the cost of the one from Spice, is the biggest attraction. Other merits are as follows-

• Standalone phone with dual SIM activity
• Make and receive call
• Other Android running platforms can be paired with the smart watch via Bluetooth
• 4cm full capacitive touchscreen
• VGA camera with LED flash
• Read and compose SMS
• Web-surfing
• A new fashion where your phone looks like a wrist-watch and worn like one.

Why you should not go for it:

With having said that, nothing is perfect in this world, every gadget has its own de-merits. Spice Smart Pulse M-9010 is not an exception. However it is offering a new fashion, but this smart watch can make you bite your nails later.

• Nowadays, internet connectivity gone so fast and unavailability of 3G service is by far the biggest de-merit of this smart watch.
• One needs tiny and point like fingers to dial the numbers from this 4cm screen.
• One cannot add more apps than what it already has.

Verdict:

However, it looks cheesy to impress kids over the gate or the ladies at your school, but this smart watch is not like that smart to have for tech-savvy people. This is not a great phone, nor even a great watch either. But as the price is not that high, you can probably give it a try, just don’t expect too much from Spice Smart Pulse M-9010.
