Recently, the founder of a Canadian company called Trevit reached out to us and asked us to review their smartwatch. This isn’t anything out of the ordinary as our media relations page gets dozens of requests daily from brands attempting to send us review units of their products. What was unique about this particular email was just how personal it was. Based on a personal recollection of a memory revolving around the joy of her mother obtaining her first Apple Watch, Trevit’s founder aims to provide that experience to everyone through more affordable means. So what exactly is the Trevit smartwatch and is it more than a sentimental idea? Our job is to find out and that’s why I’ve been wearing one on my wrist for the past month.
To dive into what the smartwatch actually is, we first need to identify the watch and the company Trevit. As an official reseller, Trevit essentially sells the GTS7 Pro watch under its own name while exposing Canadians to a product they may never have come across. We’ll be referring to the GTS7 Pro in this review as the Trevit Smartwatch, but for all intents and purposes this is a vanilla GTS7 Pro from China that Trevit adds extra value through direct customer support through their website, as well as a 1-year warranty that you usually don’t get importing Chinese smartwatches overseas yourself.
The Trevit Smartwatch falls into a category of smartwatches that I’m extremely familiar with. While the watch itself is less refined than a smartwatch from one of the big three tech giants, this second tier has grown considerably since the new decade turned over. The feature-packed health monitoring capabilities of smartwatches twice the price can easily be found nowadays on watches like the Trevit. That has tremendous value to a lot of consumers around the world. Just strictly looking at the advanced health monitoring abilities of the Trevit is enough to cover most of what people look to track in their everyday lives.
Health Tracking
Through the three-channel, dual color heart rate sensor, the heart rate tracking, as well as the live exercise heart rate monitoring seem pretty accurate in comparison with other watches. The Sp02 sensor provides blood oxygen level monitoring. There’s sleep tracking, HRV stress, mood tracking, and women’s health monitoring too. The basics of a modern fitness tracker are all on the Trevit. An intriguing addition that I personally haven’t used personally on the other watches I’ve reviewed are optional downloadable implementations of a blood pressure and glucose reader. I don’t really trust what I see from this, as the results fluctuate a bit too much on back to back readings than I’d like to see, but the function is designated as study only so take those numbers with a grain of salt. There are readings that do come close to matching a traditional blood pressure monitoring device, so there is potential for this to be a quick on-the-go reading device for those categories when it works correctly.
One thing I did like seeing on a watch like this was a sort of body battery score. Called the MAI health vitality score, the watch and app take into account all of the information it gathers from the wearer and provides a vitality score of how the user might be feeling. Scored out of a 100, the range your score falls into will help determine what you should potentially alter in your daily schedule. I really loved something similar to this on Garmin watches when I had that infrastructure on my wrist, so having a daily score of how I feel on the Trevit is a major plus. For the most part, I did find the score to reflect my overall energy and mood. This however is dependent on the wearer keeping the watch on their wrist at all times– especially during sleep.
As far as the step counting goes, I found it to once again be comparable to the readings I’ve gotten from other devices with my daily routines. I can confidently say that it is within a margin of error that I would trust the results the Trevit smartwatch pushed through to me. Activity monitoring is relatively basic with a timer, the active heart rate, and calories burned being the primary displayed items in the categories. Nothing special here, but it does the job.
Hardware
The two main selling points to me for this particular watch would be the screen and the materials the watch is constructed from. Let’s start with the build quality. Most of the watch is made from metal. An aluminum alloy to be exact with only the bottom shell housing polycarbonate. The Trevit watch feels very comfortable on my wrist to the point where I don’t notice it there most of the time. It’s quite light weight and unobtrusive.
Standard Watch Bands
The Trevit Watch can use any 22mm Watch bandThe frame on the casing only has two buttons: a crown, and programmable shortcut button that I have set to show my heart rate stats. The crown is rotatable and can be used to navigate the display contents for scrolling. I love seeing this implemented on more inexpensive smartwatches like this because something so beneficial to the operating experience shouldn't be limited solely to the more expensive Apple Watch products. Of course the scrolling isn’t as fluid or precise, but I don’t expect it to be a premium feature here. It adds enough to the user experience for me to find it beneficial. The watch is IP68 certified which makes it waterproof and able to submerge underwater around 1 meter.
A “difficult to live with” omission for this category of smartwatch is the lack of NFC for mobile payments. I mention this in a lot of reviews for Chinese watches like this, but tap to pay is a must have in modern watches. If the Fitbit Charge 6 could implement it into the hardware for such a low price, there really is no excuse not to have it on any watch hardware in 2025. Mobile payments aren’t the future– they’re the now and anything that doesn’t provide wearers access to that is left in the past.
As for the display, you’ll be looking at a rather large 1.97” AMOLED panel that has a resolution of 320 x 382p. There’s minimal bezel space around the displaying image and I found the image quality to be rather good. It wasn’t too reflective and pixel density actually made the panel quite sharp to look at. Colors were vibrant while displaying pictures on the watch face. Text was legible with clear outlining and separation. All in all I don’t really have much to dislike here.
Speaking of text legibility, the Trevit watch did a decent job of presenting written information. It’s still a significant step below the premium offerings, but I wasn’t pulling my hair out of my head trying to read a text message on the watch. You can easily tell when a watch is a tier below simply by looking at how they present text. Trevit’s notifications still force line cut offs that distinguish itself as less refined than more expensive competitors. Words don’t stay grouped together when approaching a line cut off. As the space in the line draws to the edge, you might have the word “prop” separated to read “p” and then “rop” or “pro” and “p” depending on how the line plays out in the sentence spacing. Refined smartwatch operating systems don’t cut words up while presenting them to the reader. This is a lingering issue that this segment of the market still has not fully removed itself from. I will say that the font on the Trevit watch is at least nicer to read than fonts used by a lot of other Chinese competitors in this segment.
App
Rounding out the rest of the watch's offerings, the Trevit smartwatch doesn’t have its own app store, but it does have a handful of built-in functions like the weather, find my phone, flashlight, and music control. There’s not a lot here, but once again, for a watch in this segment of the market, that’s acceptable. Using the Runmefit app as its brains, the app’s central focus lies with the MAI vitality score. It’s the main information presented on the home screen and I found the layout to be cleanly implemented. For a fitness tracking smartwatch app, this is a pretty good one. While it isn’t an app store like that of the WearOS or WatchOS equivalents, you can still find a handful of watch faces to download and push onto the watch. Unfortunately they aren’t customizable and a lot of them are in Chinese.
Bands and Charging
The watch charges using a magnetic pin attachment
Trevit packages the watch up with a 22mm band of your choosing. The choice of either silicone, stainless steel, or leather does not cost more than one or the other. They’re inexpensive options and you can quickly discern that the minute you place it against your skin. Luckily, the watch uses a standard pin implementation for the bands so any 22mm watch band can be replaced onto the casing. The casing offerings come in this black color I have– which I think looks pretty good. You can’t go wrong with a dark non-glossy metal finish. There’s also a pink offering which is essentially a rose gold color that we’re accustomed to seeing from old Apple products.
It charges through a two pin magnetic charging cable. I’m definitely not a fan of these types of charging infrastructure as they’re insanely easy to disconnect and don’t have a logical position to stably dock on a surface. Through my review period, I found the watch needed to be on a plug about every 5-7 days. The 300 mAh battery seems to be able to squeeze out about a full work week with normal usage of the capabilities that this watch provides. If you have a smartwatch, you’re not going to be running it on battery saving mode and restricting all of its core functions. I would have liked to see double that endurance so that I only have to plug the watch in once every 14 days. I personally think that’s the minimum requirement for a watch in this category. Still, one week off a charge is still better than charging it every night.
final thoughts
The Trevit smartwatch won’t blow you away with any individual accolade, but it’s a solid contributor at an inexpensive entry point into the smartwatch world. I would like to see a bit more refinement in the interface presentation as well as longer battery life to be more competitive with other watches. Still, this is an extremely serviceable smartwatch that keeps up with modern needs. If the mission statement truly was to bring accessibility to a segment of consumers who may have never had the means or knowledge to enter this market, then I do think Trevit has accomplished that with this product. I could envision a parent, teenager, or someone traditionally non-tech savvy adapting to this watch on their wrist pretty easily.
