Hwagol Smart Watch (Answer/Make Calls) 1.85-inch fitness tracker with Bluetooth calling

The essentials

If you want a smartwatch that goes beyond counting steps, the Hwagol Smart Watch is built around two things: fitness tracking and everyday phone-style convenience. On paper, that combination is what makes it stand out—Bluetooth calls and smart notifications, alongside heart rate and sleep monitoring.

It’s also fairly “sports-led”. With 140+ sports modes, it’s aiming to cover lots of exercise types (from running and cycling to jumping rope and football). The touchscreen is a 1.85-inch HD colour panel with full-touch control, plus 100+ dial skins and the ability to use user-defined dials.

That said, it’s not perfect for everyone. If you’re expecting a smartwatch experience that’s tightly integrated with a whole ecosystem, you may find it a bit more basic than top-tier alternatives. And if you use a PC/tablet as your main screen for sync or setup, it’s worth noting it’s not compatible with PC, iPad or tablets.

What you’ll notice day to day

The biggest practical advantage is the “answer/make calls” angle. Instead of pulling your phone out every time, you can handle calls over Bluetooth and keep an eye on call history. There’s also the notification side—smart notifications and reminders for popular social networks such as Facebook and WhatsApp.

A good everyday example: you’re out for a run, your phone is on charge at home or in your bag, and a message comes in. You can glance at your watch for the notification and keep going. Likewise, if a call interrupts, answering from the wrist can be less fiddly than reaching for your phone.

As for the display, the 1.85-inch HD colour touchscreen with full-touch support is designed to make it feel straightforward to swipe through info and sports modes. It’s a “lightweight form factor” type of watch, so it should be comfortable for daily wear (though comfort can still depend on your wrist size and preference).

Key fitness features (and where it fits)

For fitness tracking, the watch includes real-time recording of steps, heart rate changes and calories burned during exercise. It also has 24/7 health monitoring with a heart rate sensor and technology aimed at tracking dynamic heart rate in real time.

Sleep is another focus. It automatically monitors and records sleep duration and stages, then syncs and lets you view/analyse data via your phone.

Where it lands in the market: it feels like a capable mid-range fitness smartwatch, not something positioned as the most advanced health wearable. If you’re happy with solid “general fitness” tracking and routine insights (steps, heart rate trends, sleep patterns), it makes sense. If you’re trying to build very specific training metrics or need ultra-precise medical-grade monitoring, you may find the feature set a bit limited.

Sports modes and women’s health mode

140+ sports modes is a broad promise, and the examples given—running, cycling, jumping rope, football—suggest it’s geared towards everyday activity variety rather than only one discipline. That can be useful if your week isn’t consistent: gym one day, outdoor run the next, then something lighter.

There’s also an exclusive women’s health mode with women-specific elements. On paper, it includes safety reminders tied to the physiological cycle, plus exercise modes that reflect popular activities like ballet, yoga and hula hoop.

Worth considering: exercise mode naming is one thing, but the real value is whether the modes make your tracking feel more relevant and easier to pick on the watch. If you’re not interested in those women-focused features, you might not feel their impact day to day.

Connectivity, compatibility and limitations

This watch is described as compatible with most iOS 8.2 and Android 5.1 and higher smartphones. It also supports Bluetooth calls and smart notifications, and it syncs with your phone for analysis.

However, it’s not compatible with PC, iPad and tablets. So if your setup relies on a computer screen for syncing or configuration, you may want to look at alternatives that support that route.

What to check before you buy

Before choosing, it’s sensible to double-check what you’re expecting from “calls and notifications”. The watch supports call history, frequently used contacts, and reminders for networks like Facebook and WhatsApp, but features can vary depending on your phone settings and app permissions.

Also, consider whether you’ll use the touchscreen and dial customisation. With 100+ dial skins and user-defined dials, it’s more flexible than basic displays—but if you prefer a simpler interface and rarely change watch faces, you may not get much extra value from that.

Finally, make sure the sports modes match how you actually train. 140+ is impressive, but the most satisfying watches are the ones you can navigate quickly to the activities you do most.

Should you buy it?

It’s a good fit if you want a unisex fitness tracker that also handles Bluetooth calling and smart notifications, with 24/7 heart rate and sleep tracking as a core part of the experience. It suits people who like variety in workouts and want lots of sports modes, plus anyone who would appreciate the women’s health mode for cycle-related safety reminders and specific exercise categories.

It may not be a great match if you mainly manage your watch via a PC/tablet (since PC, iPad and tablets aren’t supported), or if you’re chasing extremely deep, niche training analytics beyond steps, heart rate trends, calories and sleep stages.
