- •Many users enjoy the overall look, with the watch attracting compliments and sparking conversations.
- •The device supports 4G, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, and a SIM card for calls and texts, providing good connectivity options.
- •Sound quality is surprisingly good for a watch, and it has a decent builn 5MP camera for quick photos.

Cons
- •Battery life is poor, generally lasting only days, causing reliability concerns.
- •Charging can be problematic, with frequent failure to charge properly; plus, the proprietary charger means buying a spare early is wise.
- •Bluetooth connection is unreliable and often cuts out with arm movement, and Bluetooth headphones only work steadily indoors.
- •The wristband is bulky, large, and not very sturdy, making the watch uncomfortable to wear over time; replacement straps are also hard to find.
- •Screen clarity and resolution are disappointing, with small menus that are hard to read.
- •The watch runs on Android 7.0 with no firmware upgrade path, causing major compatibility issues with many modern apps (including important ones that require Android 9.0+).
- •Limited app selection and functionality reduce the watch’s overall usability.
- •No phone interface enhancement options, resulting in a clunky user experience.
- •Lack of SD card slot limits additional storage options despite internal 16GB/32GB memory.
Bottom Line
The Docooler DM100 offers standout features like a large screen, 4G capability, and multimedia functions that make it an interesting device for those wanting smartwatch and basic smartphone features on their wrist. However, *serious drawbacks* like poor battery life, unreliable Bluetooth, a bulky uncomfortable band, low screen clarity, and especially the outdated Android 7.0 that blocks many apps make it a gamble depending on your needs. If you require a smartwatch primarily for calls, music, and casual browsing and don’t mind its limitations, it can be a fun gadget, but those needing a smoother, more robust experience might want to consider other options with better app support and battery performance. If your focus is on better Bluetooth reliability and longer battery life with updated Android support, you might want to explore newer models from other brands that prioritize these features.
