1.   Joyroom FC1 Classic Series Smartwatch (JR-FC1)

Joyroom FC1 is for customers looking for a slim, stylish, and budget-friendly smartwatch that covers all the essentials—health tracking, calling, notifications, and general ruggedness.

The FC1 strikes a balance between functionality and price. Its 1.28″ IPS HD screen is sufficiently bright and clear for everyday outdoor use, with IP68 water resistance making sure that it can handle Ireland's weather without problem.

It allows direct call pickup from the wrist, which is highly convenient to the busy user. The 220 mAh battery will last a week under standard usage, reducing the hassles of recharging frequently.

2.   Joyroom FC2 Classic Series Smartwatch (JR-FC2)

Joyroom FC2 is essentially an improved variant of FC1, with better display, memory, and construction, providing a premium feel.

The FC2 provides an enhancement to the FC1 in several crucial aspects. Its larger 1.32″ screen is slightly higher resolution at 360 × 360 pixels and provides more sharp images for texts, alerts, and health information.

At 128 MB memory (double the FC1), it is more fluid to use, has space to hold more watch faces, and overall offers a superior user experience. The IP68 water resistance is enhanced and swim- and rainproof—perfect for Ireland's active outdoor lifestyles.

Both watches have Bluetooth 5.3 + BT 3.0 support, providing a steady and reliable connection for calls and notifications. This ensures that receiving calls on your wrist is a breeze and can be relied upon.

• Battery & Memory

Both of them share the same 220 mAh battery with around a week's use. But FC2 holds twice the memory (128 MB) compared to FC1 (64 MB), which aids in smoother performance, more saved watch faces, and better long-term use.

• Durability & Water Resistance

Both are IP68 rated, so they're more than happy with Ireland's wet climate. The FC1 is splash-resistant (1 m/30 mins), with the FC2 fully waterproof, hence swim-worthy.

• Display Quality

The FC2 effortlessly trumps the FC1 with a bigger, sharper 1.32″ screen at 360 × 360 pixels compared to 1.28″ at 240 × 240 pixels on the FC1. If screen real estate is important, the FC2 takes it.

• Size & Design

The FC1 is thinner and lighter, a feature that may appeal to those who prefer a slimmer smartwatch. The FC2 is thicker but more sturdy on the wrist.

What's Best for Irish Users?

• Better Display? Go for FC2 for its larger, cleaner screen—just great for viewing messages or maps.
• More Memory? Go for FC2, as its bigger memory can hold more features and watch faces.
• Slimmer Fit?  Choose FC1 if you prefer a slim, light smartwatch.
• Weather-Proofing?   They are both perfect in Irish rain, but FC2 is safer for swimmers.
