Product Overview

Nordic nRF52840 sport watch with a dedicated u-blox 7020 GPS chip and about 7 days of battery

UQ33 carries an embedded u-blox 7020 GPS chip with GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou support. That is a discrete positioning chip, not a phone-assisted location feature.

The platform is a Nordic nRF52840 with a ROHM KX022 accelerometer and a VC32S optical sensor, paired to a 1.69 inch full touch display and a 350mAh lithium polymer battery quoted at about 7 days.

Sensing covers continuous heart rate, blood oxygen, blood pressure, body temperature and sport mode recognition, with female health tracking, weather, breath training and music control on the software side.

Key Benefits

What It Changes For Your Programme

Named positioning silicon

u-blox 7020 is a part number a buyer can look up, which removes an argument at specification stage.

A week between charges

About 7 days on 350mAh keeps the watch off the charger during a training block.

Full retail pack defined

Watch, cable, manual and box are specified, so packaging quotations start from a known bill of materials.

Broad OS support

Android 4.4 and iOS 8.2 upwards covers older handsets still in use in emerging markets.

Comparison

How It Compares In Our Range

Against the 1.508 inch AMOLED GPS model, UQ33 drops the always on AMOLED panel, four constellation support and bluetooth calling, and gains a longer quoted 7 day battery at lower cost. It is the value entry in the GPS group.

Customisation Options

  • Silk printed logo and case legends applied during production.
  • Custom watch faces and boot screen built into the firmware image.
  • Strap material and colourway selection at sampling.
  • Retail box, insert, manual and label artwork assembled in our packaging workshop.

Quality Control

  • SMT board test before the board meets a case.
  • Function test at final assembly on the semi-automatic lines.
  • More than ten reliability and quality tests before lot release.
  • Pre-shipment check of artwork position, colour and packing against the approved sample.

Certifications: we publish only what the factory holds. Certification documents for a destination market are supplied on request, and where a certification is pending we say pending.

Use Guide

Getting The Best Out Of It

  1. Charge for about 3 hours with the magnetic charger before the first outdoor fix.

  2. Take the first satellite fix outside with a clear view of the sky; later fixes are faster.

  3. Let sport mode recognition run, then confirm the detected activity on the watch.

  4. Keep the optical sensor clean; skin oils on the VC32S window degrade heart rate accuracy.

  5. Store the retail pack contents together for warranty claims within the 12 month term.
