Member Review: Razer Nabu

4.3
The Razer Nabu is Razer's entry into the smart wearables competition hoping to compete with some of the others on the market. The watch it self is very minimalist; it is sleek and it weighs almost nothing. It does everything a normal watch does and a little bit more. Some of the things the watch can do include displaying missed notifications from your smart phone, monitoring your sleep patterns, counting steps taken, and estimating calories burned. The watch itself boasts a 128x32 pixel OLED screen. This might sound small, but it's very clear when displaying your notifications. It also sports a lithium-polymer battery so it can last up to five to seven days on a single charge. The watch is also IP54 water resistant so it can survive the shower, washing your hands, and those rainy days. The Nabu is also scratch and shatter resistant for those who are the type that break their phones. It is also said to come in four different colors: black, white, green, orange. I was given black as early access users had no choice in color.

Now, the Nabu is an amazing product and I think everyone should have one, but it isn't for everyone and here's why: The watch itself is a one size fits most and they provide an alternate clip for those of you who have smaller wrists. But for those who have large wrists, the Nabu isn't for you. The Nabu also isn't for those who hate being tracked, and not location tracked, I mean fitness tracking. It tracks distance traveled, calories burned, steps taken, minutes asleep, and minutes active. The ideal buyer of the watch would be someone who is always on the go or someone wanting to get the latest tech on their wrist. The Razer Nabu is also an amazing product for someone looking to get a small, sleek watch or get into the wearables game.

Pros and Cons:
Pros:
Slim and sleek compared to other wearables.
Doubles as fitness band.
Water proof unlike competition.

Stylish, makes you look dapper

Works on both wrists

Cons
Not very well known.
Final price. (said to be around $120)

Easy to adjust.


Final Score:
8/10


The Razer Nabu is rated an 8 out of 10 because it is an amazing product and is great for anyone looking to get into the wearable technology scene, but the watch really misses that extra feature to bump it up the extra two points.

For the price of one of these you're not getting much, definitively hope to see Razer improve!

I was really interested in becoming a tester for one of these. I did my application but I never heard back sadly.

Great Review Potion. It seems to be a really good product and I would consider getting it as to me it doesn't seem that much for what you are all getting. I currently have a Nike fitness tracker that looks a lot like this but it only tracks fitness so being able to see message s and having the watch which I never have anyways would be really good. I think I want to see how popular it gets before I would fully commit to buying one.

whatdude2 I don't get why "Easy to adjust" is a con.


When I was writing the list of cons I placed it under the wrong section, I'll get it fixed.


I'd also personally say 'Not Known' is a Pro. Wouldn't want everyone to have it otherwise it wouldn't be as cool.

They seem pretty cool, way too expensive for me to buy one though!

I wish they were a little cheaper, but being razer I can expect that kind of price.

I can see these being extremly popular in the next upcoming years. If they advertised these as much as the samsung watches, this will be popular for sure.

This looks similar to the Nike FuelBand but is a bit more expensive.
