0. Background introduction
When it comes to smart watches, most people's first reaction must be Apple Watch, but I am afraid that some people first responded to the millet bracelet. Anyway, you can watch the time even watch, 149 to buy a millet bracelet 2, cheap, long life, it seems to be good. So why spend more than 1,000 smart watches?
The author once did a classification of smart bracelets and smart watches in previous articles, and I will elaborate here.
The first category is pure hand ring, on behalf of the product is millet bracelet 1 generation, no time display, no information, but can inform the information. Its function can be said to be a record of exercise and sleep, of course, each manufacturer also has some additional features, but its limitations are also more.
The second category is a bracelet that can display time. This type of product usually has a display screen that can display time and various notification messages, and many with heart rate. Many manufacturers will also call it a smart watch, but in my opinion, its function is too basic and lacks the space for customization, so it can only count as a bracelet that can display time. Such as millet bracelet 2 and Ville Now2.
The third category is smart watches. The biggest difference between smart watches and the previous category is that they have customizable parts. For example, replace the dial, such as installation applications. In my opinion, products that incorporate these features can be counted as smart watches.
From this classification, it can be seen that the biggest difference in smart watch functionality lies in its customizable part, especially the installation of applications, and the attractive part is also in this, this is its greatest value. In other words, most of the more than 1,000 pieces you spend are mostly used here, of course, including better designs and materials.
Understand this problem, come to talk about ticwatch this brand. Students who are familiar with digital products may have a certain understanding of the brand, then you can jump directly to the next section.
Ticwatch is a smart watch brand launched by asking questions. For out-and-out questions, the visibility in and out of the digital circuit is not too high, but it should be a big name in the circle. The company's starting line is strikingly similar to that of Xiaomi. Initially, it made ROM packages for MOTO and other products. With an excellent experience and reasonable localization work, it was sought after by a lot of game enthusiasts, and gradually launched its own hardware products. The reason for this company's reputation is nothing more than its acceptance of Google's capital injection, which is considered to be Google's aura. Last year it launched the ticwatch generation, which has always had a good rating in the mouth of game enthusiasts, excellent appearance, easy to use system, rich applications, and has an experience that is basically not lost to the Apple Watch. So the birth of this year's ticwatch2 will be logical.
1 out of the box appearance
Once again, she saw Aunt Zhang's signature packaging and she still could not change her excitement. For the demolition of the express delivery to me, this feeling is also Zhang Aunt alone.
However, compared to previous packaging, this time Aunt Zhang's handling of the packaging is somewhat rough. Is the Aunt too busy recently? There wasn't a little stuff in the box and it made my little heart nervous...
Good in the box, the product did not suffer any damage. The outer packaging uses a pure black design, quite mysterious taste. Time is orderly, life is interesting Slogan is still quite dazzling.
There is only a sticker on the back that shows the product model and specifications. Content is not much, compared to the common stickers filled with configuration information, this is still clean.
Open the package and the watch appears. The pattern on the dial is the film that comes with the factory, but this film is the dial, which is not forced at all...
The watch adopts a fixed method similar to that of a traditional watch. This is clearly distinguishable from products such as Apple Watch. From my personal point of view, I also like this design more.
In addition to the charger, charging cable and charging base, there are instructions and a bag of desiccant... It seems that there is rarely seen the presence of desiccant in the packaging of digital products. It is more common in the packaging of traditional watches. .
The charger has a 5V1A specification. For a watch, the charger specification is a high one. After all, the battery in the watch has a capacity of only 300mAh. The cylindrical charger design and features, but the surface mirror design allows it to be exactly a fingerprint collector in use. Fortunately, this thing is basically not used at all, and there is no extra USB at home.
Thanks to the wireless charging design, there are no contacts on the pedestal and it looks very refreshing.
The bottom of the base is made of soft rubber material, which provides a great deal of friction, which makes the stability of its placement significantly enhanced. The design is very intimate.
The following is the time for the watch to appear. The ticwatch2 uses a more conventional 42mm dial, the black header with a leather strap, the overall texture is still quite good.
The unique feature of the ticwatch lies in its unique "scratch" operation, which provides users with more choices than clicking. Compared to the first generation of products, the scratched part of the ticwatch2 is a hidden design, better integrated into the body, and will no longer be as obstructive as a Band-Aid. In terms of thickness, the thickness of the head is less than 12mm, which is a good figure in a smart watch. To know that this is still built-in wireless charging products, it can be said that the overall size control to do is still quite good.
In order to scratch the right side, the crown can only be designed on the left side. Although the crown only has the function of pressing, the design always gives a strange feeling on the left side. Fortunately, in the system settings, you can set the direction for the crown. If you don't have much to scratch, you can set the crown to the right. This strange feeling no longer exists.
I received a leather strap with a black inner yellow texture. However, individuals prefer metal materials. Fortunately, straps are designed to be easy to disassemble. They can be easily disassembled and replaced. Thanks to the built-in communication module, network access is a must, and it is drunk on the back of the watch...
The back of the crown is completely made of glass and the crystal clearness is still good. The edge is an introduction to various functions, and the center part is the heart rate sensor and the wrist sensor. For the first time, the ticwatch2 has joined the wrist sensor and implemented encryption after the watch has left the wrist to ensure user safety. This is a good news for users.
To compare the traditional watch with the Tuman T-ripple, the 42mm crown is not much different from the traditional watch, and it is the same size as the Tuman T-ripple. It should be said that this size is the most gold size, the most suitable for ordinary adult men, slightly larger for girls, but also fully able to Hold live. Compared to Tuman's recessed screen, ticwatch2's screen is basically flat, and even slightly raised, the operating experience is better, but the protection of the screen is much worse, and daily need to be careful.
This concludes the unpacking section, and enters the boot experience section below.
2. boot experience
The first time the opportunity to start the system boot, similar to the Android phone first boot interface.
The mobile phone downloads the APP and scans the two-dimensional code binding, and the setting is basically completed. One thing to say here is that the brightness of the screen is not the highest by default during the boot process, even if the two-dimensional code is scanned, it is not automatically adjusted to the highest. This point should be learned from Alipay. When the QR code is scanned, the brightness will be automatically increased and the scanning speed will be better.
After the binding is completed, you need to set the unlock code of the mobile phone so that you can lock the mobile phone after leaving the wrist. Here also uses a similar mobile phone-side 9-square grid code, although the cost of learning is low, but personally feel that the operation of the 9-square grid on the small screen is more difficult, especially the surrounding points are prone to false touch. If you can change to 4 design may be better.
All the way down to complete the boot setup, the process is not complicated, the guide is also detailed enough, the overall experience is still good.
Thanks to the excellent AMOLED screen quality and high resolution of 400 x 400, the ticwatch2's screen does not look the slightest grainy. If it is not because of light, it is even harder to think that this is a smart watch that is closer to a traditional watch.
The diversified dials also allow the user to have more choices, and can also use different dials with different clothes, making the ticwatch2 more applicable.
With the self-luminous nature of AMOLED, ticwatch2 pioneered the low-light mode. The principle is to make use of AMOLED's single-pixel non-light-emitting and power-free features. Most screens are black in standby mode. Only the time display part is white, so that the screen display under the premise of low energy consumption can be realized. In order to compare the difference between the low light mode and the normal mode, the author deliberately chose a dial with a white background for comparison.
The figure above shows the dial status of the normal display. Now let's take a look at the dial status of the low light mode. It can be seen that the difference is still quite obvious, but the low light mode does not affect the reading of time, which greatly enhances the basic attributes of ticwatch2 as a watch. This is commendable.
However, there are still some minor problems with this low-light mode. For example, some of the more complicated dials appear strange in the low-light mode. For example, the following dial of a golden compass, the messy information makes the dial look less clean. So if you need to turn on the dimming mode of the dial, it is more appropriate to choose a simple dial.
This concludes the initial boot experience. Let's take a look at the system experience.
3. System Experience
Without a good system, no matter how good the hardware is, it is just a pile of parameters. For ticwatch, an excellent system experience is its greatest capital, so let's take a look at the ticwear system to go out and ask what are the advantages.
Let's experience the mobile phone APP first. After the binding is completed, you can enter the relevant management settings. The content of the settable part is very rich. Notification settings, dials, flash cards, and other settings basically cover the various functions that are used daily.
Look at the most commonly used part. In the notification center, in addition to opening notifications, there are mobile screens that are not pushed and optimized for multiple messages. However, after the author's actual measurement, there is still a certain problem with the light screen not pushing function, it is easy to cause all messages not to be pushed. The dial center has a very rich dial and you can download more. Shortcut cards are some of the commonly used functions that can customize the display and the order. This shortcut menu is still quite useful.
Among the dials, there are a few dials that support customization. You can choose your favorite photo as the background of the dial. This design allows the dial to have more ways to play.
The health center supports a variety of sports records, and records movement routes and exercise volumes in real time. It is very convenient for friends who love sports.
Several other projects are actually used infrequently and their actual use is general. It is more practical to use a taxi application. Bind Didi and Uber account in personal information and you can use the mobile phone to achieve a taxi service. You can set a home address and work address to quickly achieve a taxi home and other functions. This feature is very good for people who often ride.
The ticwatch app does not have much extension functionality, and more and more rich applications need to be implemented through the store. Ask the rich content in the store is good, but relatively speaking there is not much more useful features, the dial is often used and some small applications. After all, the watch dial is still too small for complex applications to basically complete operations, so this is understandable.
Let's take a look at the watch side. The ticwatch2 is similar in operation to conventional smart watches and has a sliding card design. Sliding out of the call notification bar, the notification bar section is also referred to as the shortcut card above. Different item categories are displayed.
More functions, also support Alipay, sports, music control and other fast cards, on the basis of meeting the viewing information, can also achieve some mobile phone control and mobile payment functions, it is very easy to use.
Left slide is a system built-in application. The built-in ticwatch2 application is very rich, basic common applications are already included, including built-in applications such as Sogou maps. In addition, I also found that it seems to synchronize with the mobile phone application, such as Zhang Aunt's APP will pop up, and that easy to control. Is this because the cooperation is better?
Many built-in small programs are more practical, such as alarm clocks, calculators, tape recorders, etc., which are convenient for users to use from mobile phones.
Other APPs have also adapted for the watch side. For example, Zhang Aunt’s APP can not only browse for preferential information, but also can perform more operations such as replying.
The right side of the main page is to start the voice assistant. The built-in voice assistant is quite powerful for Chinese recognition. The voice assistant is also one of the highlights of ticwear. The basic function of the voice assistant is information inquiry, such as querying the weather, telephone, peripheral information, and the like.
In addition to the basic query functions described above, some basic tool settings can also be implemented. For example, setting an alarm clock, schedule, and even the mathematics of speech calculations are functionally rich enough.
In addition to the above basic functions, the voice assistant can also link APP to achieve more functions. This function should be ticwatch's ability to keep a watchful eye. Such as Linking Sogou map to achieve voice navigation, linked to a taxi service to achieve a voice taxi, and even linked to easy control to achieve voice control switches and other functions.
It can be said that the voice part is the essence of ticwear. Through a variety of APP linkages, it greatly expands the use of the voice part. Even the basic functions can be realized through voice. For a small screen such as a watch, the voice control method is more appropriate. In addition to the above functions, the most commonly used notification function of smart watches is not weak, various APP notifications are very comprehensive, and the notification interface is also easy to understand. More human nature is that there will be automatic recognition of incoming calls and better avoid harassing calls.
The system experience is basically based on these contents. Let's take a look at the actual experience.
4. The actual experience
After a period of use, here to talk about my actual experience. Overall, ticwatch2 is still quite good during actual use. Here's an example of combining several functions that I often use myself.
The most commonly used function is message reception. Viewing various messages through the watch, there is basically no delay. However, occasionally unstable connections may occur, especially when in a charged state. However, after ticwear was updated to 4.2.0, cloud synchronization was added. As long as the watch turns on WiFi or 3G, even if Bluetooth is disconnected from the mobile phone, it can also receive reminders through the cloud. This occasional Bluetooth disconnection will not affect the receipt of notification messages, and even completely out of the phone can also know what message is received on the phone, this is a very good news for friends who do not like to bring a mobile phone during exercise.
Here we must also mention that the process of opening 3G is a bit complicated, especially for the real-name authentication part, which also requires CCID and packaging of the watch. This is a little inconvenient. Fortunately, it is still a monthly rent package, but it is also okay to use it. For ticwatch2 users, the initial 100M traffic will be given, and most of the time, I own the Bluetooth connection. When I leave my mobile phone, I automatically become cloud synchronization. It took about a week to consume only less than 2M of traffic, or very provincial traffic. of.
There is no problem in receiving messages. After the 3G function is enabled, the mobile phone can implement the call and information functions. It can be said that ticwatch2 can be completely separated from the mobile phone. The only problem is that WeChat cannot reply, but opening the AW-compatible mode can enable the mobile-end WeChat message to reply, as well as enabling WeChat payment and other functions. However, AW compatibility mode occasionally causes notifications to be unacceptable, and due to some well-known reasons of the celestial order, the AW compatibility mode is enabled and a WeChat function is added, and the AW market cannot be accessed. Therefore, the AW compatibility mode is still relatively weak. Features. If you can use science to go online, you may find more ways to play.
Another commonly used feature of my own is Alipay Quick Payment. It is still quite convenient to pay for Alipay via a quick card. Basically, convenience stores do not need to prepare for change to buy something. However, there have been occasional cases where transactions cannot be completed after several scans. The specific reasons are unknown. It seems that there are certain problems with stability.
Another common function is exercise. The movement in the fast card is still very easy to use. In addition to basic sports time and distance information, you can also check the consumption of heart rate, calories, etc., instead of a sports watch or more than enough. The only downside is that GPS records also require a mobile phone to cooperate, so if outdoor sports need to record routes, then carrying a mobile phone is essential.
Lastly, I talked about life. My ticwatch2 has experienced a replacement, and the reason for the replacement was a large part of my life. I got the first ticwatch2, the brightness is open to the lowest, not open the low light mode, not open 3G, no AW compatibility, basically only notification function and lift the wrist bright screen, wear at 7:30 in the morning, to the evening 6 It will surely enter the power-saving mode. If you do not turn on the power-saving mode, it will automatically shut down. Originally I thought it was a problem with ticwatch2's battery life. I happened to meet a friend who was also using ticwatch2. He actually stayed at 11pm. Then communicated with Zhang Aunt and replaced the product. The current battery life has finally returned to normal. The brightness is the lowest. The low light mode is turned on, the 3G module is turned on, the AW mode is turned on, and 30-40% of the battery power can be left until 10 o'clock in the evening. Without AW compatibility mode, it is almost 40-50%, and it is quite satisfactory. Although you must charge one day at a time, you do not have to worry about battery power for at least one day.
After finishing the battery charging, ticwatch2 uses a wireless charging method and the speed is quite satisfactory. The 0-100 charging time is about 1 hour, which is the fastest among the smart watches I have ever experienced. In addition, the benefit of wireless charging is that it is worthwhile to appreciate the fact that taking off your watch before going to bed at night just needs to be placed on a pedestal, which is basically similar to wearing a traditional watch.
to sum up:
What are the main needs of most people for smart watches? Install X? That's the job of Apple Watch. The real demand of most people is nothing more than a beautiful appearance, timely notification messages, and assistance in accomplishing more functions. Ticwatch2 is really a pain point for Get to the user. Each function is aimed at the user's pain points. Especially after the system is updated to 4.2.0, it can completely be used without a mobile phone, which is a complete solution to the user's needs. If we say that the selection of domestic smart watches in the face of value and wisdom, then non-ticwatch2 is none other than.
The conventions sum up the advantages and disadvantages, and in the meantime thanks again to Aunt Zhang!
advantage:
1) pure round flat dial, unique design, high value of color.
2) The rich functions of the ticwear system, especially the powerful functions of the voice assistant, are the highlights. Realizing various functions through voice is no longer a dream.
3) With 3G, you can completely use it from your mobile phone, and it will not affect the information reception and reminder after leaving the mobile phone. Even if you forget to bring your mobile phone occasionally, you won't miss important information.
insufficient:
1) Stability needs to be strengthened. My ZUK Z2 occasionally appears to be unable to connect Bluetooth, restart the phone Caixing, do not know whether it is a mobile phone problem or a watch issue.
2) There are occasional unsuccessful payments due to Alipay payment code. The reason is unknown.
3) Quality control needs to be strengthened. In the evaluation of the official Tmall flagship store, many users complain that there are various problems, among which the endurance problem seems to be more obvious, and it is hoped that the quality control will be strengthened.
The full text is finished! Then the watch will be snatched by his wife...
