Kospet Rock Features
Rugged and Durable Smartwatch
The Kospet Rock is a RUGGED smartwatch designed to resist and work in challenging environments. Bring water-proof, dust-proof, and shock-proof. Adopts the robust and sporty style, the light edges make it durable and resistant to water and dirt. The watch is completely made of plastic material and it’s very lightweight, weighting only 46 grams.
Display
The Kospet rock features a 1.69 inch display in resolution of 240×280 pixels. It comes with a large rectangle shaped LCD TFT display, much more elongated vs. The conventional square shape design offering a wider and better touch experience. According to our tests, in extreme conditions on a very sunny summer day under direct sunlight the brightness of the watch could have been slightly better, at least %10-20 higher. This problem can probably be fixed at a software level.
Having said that, If you engage in sports activities and surrounded in a more shaded environment, the watch display provides decent visual experience in outdoors activities, the brightness in enough to operate the watch and read text messages.
The low brightness level of smartwatch displays is a global problem that you might find in most popular smart watches, including known brands like Xiaomi, Huawei and so many others when used outdoors in very sunny countries effecting user experience. That’s why we also strongly recommend increasing the display brightness to maximum level.

Our blood pressure reading was about 130/80 and the Heart rate was identical on both devices measuring 68 BPM, Indicting that the Kospet Rock sensor is very accurate.

Final verdict
After playing with Kospet Rock for approximately two days, we can say that our opinion about the product is excellent. The watch is well designed, it looks cool and offers good functionality packed with a great graphical UI. The only downsides we found in this watch is the lack of more language support, for example, Hebrew and also maybe a beeping sound notification option. Bottom line, it’s a super smartwatch at a super affordable price so we definitely recommend it!
