A heads-up for U.S. buyers...
First of all; this is the exact same watch that served as the prototype for the Omate TrueSmart that was so popular on Kickstarter. It contains the exact same internals/parts as the original build (as well as the lower spec'ed 512/4 version that shipped). If you look at pictures online of some of the early prototypes (before they added the larger, "water-proof" body with rounded edges); you will see that this is the TrueSmart before that "brand" existed. The Omate TrueSmart was not an original product, it was a spinoff that Umeox (the real manufacturer) used to generate some buzz online (which worked!). That's not a knock against the Omate TrueSmart; I just wanted to let you know that you're basically getting the original, pre-water-proofing version of the TrueSmart for cheaper than they offered it for! It's running a slightly different UI, obviously, as this uses some sort of Umeox or Iconbit AOSP rom as opposed to the Omate UI; but the similarities are there (if not quite all of the functions). Overall, I've been very happy with the Callisto 100. My only real knocks against it are the fact that you can only put 3 apps in each homescreen folder (not a huge deal so much as an annoyance), and the second problem is the fact that if you're using it in the U.S., you're only going to get 2G/Edge speeds whether you're on T-Mobile or AT&T. I've tried it on both, and it seems to only be tuned for international baseband frequencies even though all the literature shows that it has the frequencies it should need for 3G/HSPA in the U.S. As well... but as I said; tuned for international bands, I guess. I can actually verify that, as I used it in Ireland and the Netherlands with a Vodafone sim and I was pulling in 3G speeds. But as long as you're not using this as your primary device and can live with 2G speeds... not a huge deal. Oh, one more thing worth noting: you can only wear it on your left wrist. There's no screen rotation/flipping, so if you wear it on your right wrist the screen will be upside down and the camera will be facing up your forearm. Other than those things (which are minor for me and don't affect the way I use the device), I've actually been very happy having Google Now/Google Play app access on my arm. There's certainly a lot worse things you could do with your money.

best stand alone smartwatch
This was a very sharp display. And easy to move the icons. Make calls with no problems. Adding contacts sometimes not always able to open. However, Will work. phone icon not alway responsive to swipe. But that is the only problem. I have owned Other watchphones this one is best as of now. Will not work as a bluetooth Companion for a smartphone. Has to have sim card activated on smartwatch.Bluetooth works great and enternet browser. I`am currently on att gophone. can port ring tones from my other phone by Bluetooth.nice when on the road .can carry on conversation while driving without looking at my phone.

Really like the phone......for awhile
Really like the phone. Works great on T-mobile in the US. Only issue is that it uses a special charger/case. The mfger includes one. Phone has more than sufficient battery life to make it through the day and night, but it would be nice to have a second charger/wired data cable for work. Iconbit does not sell charger separately. I have contacted Iconbit requesting the name of a vendor to purchase a second charger, I have not heard back after a week. Oh and there is no FM radio. ........I originally gave the watch a favorable review. The WiFi and Bluetooth stopped working after 4 months, and I cannot seem to get any one at Iconbit to help service it despite living near the sole Iconbit store in the US. Screws and back of watch have also corroded after wearing for a few months. DO NOT BUY THIS WATCH.

This thing makes all the other "smart watches" look like toys, incredibly in love with it
This thing makes all the other "smart watches" look like toys, incredibly in love with it, there is nothing you can't do with this magic bundle, except for flying maybe! But that, you can't do with your regular or smart watch either!

Okay but has issues
I really liked the look and style. However, the Iconbit Callisto 100 has quality issues and no real support. Only basic support from the russian web site.The Iconbit Callisto 300 looks better with a few improvements. But they both have quality issues. These are just souced from several Chinese companies and rebranded.The firmware has bugs and development isn't happening fast enough to address the issues.

NOT a 4GB smartwatch
Several companies are currently packaging similar smartwatches. I chose this one specifically because the description promised it was 4 GB. When I received it I connected the smartwatch to my PC via the USB charger and discovered I had been shipped a watch with a capacity of not 4 GB, but only 1.26 GB. That's less than half of what was promised in the description, and that's the capacity BEFORE you account for the Android OS pre-installed on the smartwatch.False advertising makes for a very disappointed customer. Buyer beware.
