I bought this as a bit of a joke because it popped up in the Banggood news letter and I thought it can't be that good but for £15 it was worth a punt..
Its a full on phone, it takes a nano sim and a micro SD card or you can pair it with your existing phone... How the hell do they do it for the money? 
And yes I'm a hairy f**k..

cant find it on their website anywhere, only one similar i can see is 30 quid
found it, had to go through the offers page  ok the one i found for 15 quid is just a hear rate monitor, the one with the features you said is 40 quid

I'm starting to doubt it will work 100% with an iPhone, the Bluetooth call feature works an obviously it tells the time but I've been unable to access my messages.
I tried it on an android device and its spot on!
Also tried it with a sim-card and it works perfectly as a phone.

What the hell is Bang Good anyway? Sounds like a porn site.

With a SIM / SD Card in the watch everything works, you can make/receive calls send/receive messages, there's a web-browser, camera, calendar etc. etc.
With the android app and No Sim you can pretty much do all of the above through Bluetooth.
On an iOS device you can only make and receive calls, use the camera, calendar etc. oh and tell the time.

looks decent for £15, but how responsive/slick is it? Does it lag between actions/menus?
p.s you need to shave your hands
