The Explay N1 device (watch-phone) is a rather curious and original device that simultaneously plays several roles at once. The first is an ordinary watch, and the second is a telephone, and the tandem turned out to be very good and, moreover, is in enviable demand among numerous fans of unusual devices.
Let's try to figure out what kind of gadget it is and why it is so attractive: we will consider the characteristics, functionality, how to change the date in N1 and whether the hours are worth the money spent.

In addition to the watch itself, in the box you can see a stereo headset and ... that's it. You will have to buy a charger separately, but in defense of the gadget you can say that any micro cable for USB devices is suitable, that is, if you have a more or less modern phone, then there will be no problems with charging.
It’s not entirely clear why the manufacturer equipped the watch with a stereo headset: the cable fixed to the watch is still fine, but the headphones will constantly pop up when walking or taking action. It’s more logical, and taking into account the demand, it would be more attractive to put a headset with “bluetooth”, but the company decided otherwise.
Specifications
The device is equipped with a display with a TFT-matrix of 1.44 inches and a resolution of 240 by 240 pixels. The gadget supports 32 GB microcards and can read the main formats (ogg, mp3, wav, mp4). Also on board there is an FM receiver, a voice recorder and a quite tolerable 350 mAh battery.
There are no special claims to the characteristics, but the device’s own memory is clearly not enough. Before changing the date in N1, downloading applications or performing other ordinary actions, it is better to immediately get a third-party memory card, otherwise the device will terribly slow down and freeze.
Functional
The capabilities of the device can be called ordinary. After turning on the display, an ordinary electronic clock is visible on it . First, let's figure out how to change the date in Explay N1. You can see a lot of useful information in the main menu, but we are interested in the “Settings” item. At this point, you can fully customize the device to your specific needs. Before changing the date in N1, it is strongly recommended to insert a SIM card and make sure that the battery does not “blink”. Then, in the "Date and Time" item, set the data you need and click on the save button. If your clock and date are synchronized with world time, then you can put the corresponding checkmark in the same paragraph - “Synchronization with UTC”. We’ll also mention that before changing the date in N1, you need to decide which format will suit you: DD.MM.YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY.
The rest of the watch’s functionality is simple and clear: convenient reading of messages, call lists, music and radio tabs, video player and stopwatch. If you ever used a phone on the Android platform, then there should not be any problems.
Is it worth buying?
On large Internet sites, you can find the Explay N1 model for about 3,000 rubles. For this price, you get an intelligent device that can write messages and make calls. The connection is more or less tolerable, so the interlocutor will normally hear you.
The battery lasts about a day of active use. In the constant mode of negotiations, the gadget sits down after 6 hours, and in standby mode, the device can last up to 240 hours. In general, the device turned out to be very good - it can be recommended to everyone.
