WatchOut WearPods review: WatchOut is a wearable brand that started building its products for teens and children who want to own smart devices that are in some way different. The company had figured prominently on Shark Tank India season 2 too. Now, it has announced a new smartwatch concept that mostly targets Gen-Z consumers. The smartwatch is called the Wearpods and they combine the ability of a smartwatch and earbuds all in one device. Weird? Read on.
The WatchOut WearPods come with some striking features that may attract users. However, these days Gen-Z consumers are very picky and they are much more into style and aesthetics than other aspects. So, does the gadget match the requirements? I have used the WatchOut WearPods smartwatch for a week and here is my full review of the device.
The WatchOut WearPods feature a very strong and rugged design, making it drop-resistant and waterproof. The company also offers an IP67 water and dust resistance rating.

Navigation and touch were quite smooth and responsive and I did not face any lag or slow performance during use.
While the design could have been better, the performance and features negate all the drawbacks of this gadget. The WatchOut WearPods offer numerous features in one device that you could only have imagined. One of its unique offerings was to include earbuds within the smartwatch itself. Yes, that is so very true! And what is more, the earbuds can easily be connected to the smartwatch or the smartphone, so you do not have to worry about carrying headphones or earbuds.
If we talk about the earbuds, then they come with touch sensors which allow users to answer calls, play/pause music or change to the next song. They can be easily connected via Bluetooth. However, the sound quality was basic and lacked bass. It also does not support Active Noise Cancellation, but in my opinion, at this price point and the suite of features it offers, this
