Kieslect Kr 2 Ltd Review: A Premium Smartwatch Within Budget
Chinese smart-wearable brand Kieslect launched Kieslect Kr 2, in 2024 to demonstrate its ability in crafting quality devices. A limited edition of the watch, the Kieslect Kr 2 Ltd, has entered Bangladesh and garnered attention in the affordable market where premium names like Xiaomi and CMF rule. This article provides a look at Kieslect Kr 2 Ltd's specifications and gives a competitive overview of its key features, strengths, weaknesses, and target audience.
In-Depth Review of Kieslect Kr 2 Ltd
The Kieslect Kr 2 Ltd edition excludes the extra pair of straps offered by the regular Kieslect Kr 2 model; otherwise, both share the same features and capacities.
Design
The Kieslect Kr 2 Ltd has a 46.40 by 11.65mm circular stainless steel frame and a silicone strap. Though the mainframe is metal, the watch uses a plastic back panel to reduce extra weight, but it still feels a little heavy at 58 g. To navigate, users will find three metal crowns crowding on the right side. The watch comes in an Iron Gray colour choice and IP68 dust-water resistance.
Competitively, the Kieslect Kr 2 Ltd is slimmer than the CMF Watch Pro 2 and close to the thickness of the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro. But it struggles against the CMF and Xiaomi’s lighter full-metal bodies, leather straps and multiple color options.
Display
The Kieslect Kr 2 Ltd brings a 1.43-inch AMOLED display, larger than CMF’s but smaller than Xiaomi’s. In terms of vivacity and brightness, the Kr 2 stands out with a 466 by 466 px picture resolution and 1000 nit peak brightness level. Its 60Hz refresh rate is also on par, providing a beyond-class touch response. The watch covers the screen with a high hardness that comes with an extra copy.
Hardware and Software
Featuring a 240Mhz dual-core processor and a 2.5D GPU, the Kieslect Kr 2 Ltd provides satisfactory performance. It unpacks over 100 sports modes and diverse sensors. Users will get near-accurate feedback from the built-in biometric sensor.
For operation, the watch boasts a customizable Kieslect operating system compatible with Android 5.0 and IOS 9.0 and beyond. Connecting to the Kieslect app follows a simple process and provides users with a full range of customization options.
More than standard smartwatch functions, the watch boasts easy pairing and additional features, like AI voice response, mini-games, and a dual-screen display.
Battery and Charger
A giant 360mAh battery surpasses all competition by providing support for 6 to 7 days of typical usage, which reduces to 3 to 4 days with heavy usage. If run on battery saver mode, the watch can survive 50 days at a stretch. The fully depleted battery takes around 2 hours to be charged from zero to full.
