The colors on the display look good and the text is sharp to read in any kind of scenario, be it outdoor or indoor. The watch provides an ample amount of brightness and hence I had no problem viewing the screen outdoors under bright sunlight.
The pTron Force X10e has a clean user interface and responsive touch which delivers smooth navigation and effortless control over the contents. The overall watch UI is very user-friendly.
All the applications within the smartwatch are easy to navigate. Swipe down for watch settings like brightness, call connectivity, and others.

After the watch is connected to the app, you will continue to receive notifications of incoming calls and other alerts at the very same time. The connectivity range of the watch is also good so even if you are far from your phone, it shall not fail to notify you of important calls and reminders.
Da Fit App
pTron Force X10e can be paired with both Android and iOS devices with its compatible app which is called the ‘Da Fit’ app. When connected via a device we can get detailed data about the various functionalities of the watch in the Da Fit App such as the record of sleep time for a complete week, the heartbeat, BP, and other health results, the number of calories lost during your last exercise session, etc.

Due to the ongoing pandemic situation, most people have restrained themselves from going to the gym and have started working out in their own homes. pTron Force X10e comes very handy with keeping track of the number of calories you want to burn each day or calculating the duration of your daily exercise time. It can even check your heart rate along with your blood oxygen level and others.

You will also get the detailed information regarding your sleep pattern in the form of curves and graphs which can help you monitor your sleep patterns well.

Reminder to Move: Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic situation, our lifestyles have changed a lot from before and all of us are working from our homes. Due to this drastic change in our lifestyle, we tend to sit in one place and work for a prolonged period of time which is not at all good for our health.
