It is important to know

Before buying the Borofone BD17 smartwatch, it's crucial to consider what's most important to you in practice - whether it's health features, Bluetooth calling capabilities, or a more universal design and basic mobile connectivity. Pay special attention to the battery and features you actually need, as these watches often come with specific benefits and limitations that aren't always obvious from the specs.

• A battery life of 3 to 4 days means that regular charging is required, especially if you use more extensive features (measurements, calls, notifications), so for users who want to charge as little as possible, this may be a key factor.
• Bluetooth calls are only possible when the watch is connected to a phone; the watch does not support standalone calls without a phone - this affects its usefulness if you expect to make standalone calls.
• The unisex design and round shape fit most styles and wrists, but the case may appear a bit large on very small wrists.
• Water resistance allows for worry-free use in everyday situations (e.g. rain, washing hands), but is not necessarily suitable for swimming without an explicitly stated higher water resistance rating.
• Core health features such as SpO₂ and heart rate measurement can be useful for basic insights into your health, but should not replace professional medical measurements.

In practice

🟡 Suitable with restrictions – Calling from the watch

Bluetooth calling is useful, but only works when paired with a phone; if you want to use the watch for calls without a phone nearby, this model doesn't offer that option.

🟢 Very suitable – Everyday use for notifications and basic measurements

Its easy-to-use interface and basic functions (steps, heart rate, SpO₂) make it suitable for everyday tasks such as monitoring activity and receiving notifications.

🟡 Suitable with restrictions – Sports and outdoor activities

Basic sports functions and water resistance ensure use during light workouts, but it is not ideal for demanding sports or swimming, where advanced water resistance or built-in GPS is required.

🟢 Very suitable – Fashionable and unisex look

The design with gold accents and a round shape complements both women's and men's styles well, making it easy to combine with different outfits on a daily basis.

🟡 Suitable with restrictions – Health monitoring

SpO₂ and heart rate measurements provide a basic overview of your health, but are not intended for medical diagnostics or advanced disease monitoring.
