Lenovo being a PC maker at heart is quite successful in other electronics as well but after making smartphones, smart health trackers, the company has jumped on to making smartwatches, but not fully fledged smartwatches as we see from Apple and Samsung. The watch here we’re talking about is the Lenovo watch 9 which is an Analog Smartwatch, combining the classic design of a stylish swiss watch and offering lite Smart functions to make life easier.
Design: Classic but not premium
The watch features twelve, three, six and nine O’clock time indicators with two standard pointers which do glow in the dark. The front face is just silicon glass, not the most robust material but decent for the price band is full rubber and is decently elastic but it isn’t soft as you would find on the Apple watch, but then again that Apple watch is pretty expensive.
And the watch is reasonably lightweight, but not too light to give a cheap feel to it. Yes, it is water resistant to 5ATM, but that’s only applicable for a small and short dive. Moreover, the button is a little hard to press, but it isn’t used that often. Overall a really good experience considering the price tag.

The remote camera snaps a picture from your smartphone’s camera without touch your phone, just hit the watch’s side button to capture a picture, during that remote shutter mode.
As the watch doesn’t have any display to show any of your notification, it just vibrates to let you know about the same.
