The SmartBand launched by Sony is a health bracelet that focuses on recording life. It can record all kinds of life records of a day through Lifelog, which is very interesting. So, does SmartBand have excellent function performance or excellent use experience to impress you?
Before SmartBand Unpacking In, various forms of SmartBand have been shown, so it is no longer cumbersome here. SmartBand is very similar to Fitbit Flex in form. It can replace wristbands of various colors. At the same time, if there are corresponding accessories, it can also be used in different locations.
Due to the material, the wear marks are obvious after one week of use. The SmartBand wristband is easy to stick dust. Even if it has a three prevention design, it is difficult for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder to accept.
To use SmartBand, the device must be Android 4.4, so we can only say goodbye to iOS devices. The connection between the device and SmartBand is also very simple. Through NFC pairing, you can automatically connect to Bluetooth. After successful pairing for the first time, you will be prompted to download the corresponding software for better use.
In SmartKey, there are not many special functions provided by SmartBand. SmartBand provides common sleep time records, various notification call vibration functions, and distance reminders. SmartBand can also be operated with one key by downloading various applications.
Compared with the SmartKey function, the supporting software Lifelog of SmartBand is more interesting in functions and applications. To use Lifelog for the first time, you need to register. At the same time, you can set better goals by entering gender, height, weight and other relevant data. What is more painful is that it is troublesome to register a Lifelog account at present. It is recommended to switch to the traditional interface or set an agent.
There are not many options for setting Lifelog, which is mainly used to change personal weight and height information data and record location. As can be seen from other device records, Sony will introduce more available devices.
The interface design of Lifelog is quite interesting, which is divided into two columns. The upper column takes time as the horizontal axis, and there will be people in the middle to simulate actions. At the same time, there will be corresponding icons for operations at the corresponding time, and the icons will change in size according to the degree of use. Below is the statistical data display of various application functions. Click to go to the detailed page, but you can't customize or add or delete items, so the flexibility is slightly lower.
Enter the relevant options to view the detailed data, as shown in the figure above, it is a sleep item. SmartBand will record sleep related data and make synchronous statistics through Lifelog. You can switch between different time periods for statistical viewing. At the same time, Lifelog will also provide recommended goals according to the relevant information you input, which can be adjusted by yourself.
Interestingly, Lifelog also records the time of using social software and the track of location. This function is more interesting. It seems that I can't delete it manually after struggling, so it can become a good management purpose. At the same time, Lifelog also has a bookmark function, which can be activated by pressing the key.
SmartBand takes about 5 days to pass. After using SmartBand for more than a week, I am used to it, but the experience is not too special. Although waterproof is supported, the wrist strap is prone to wear marks. At present, only black can be selected, which is not cool enough. In terms of using functions, SmartBand has no special functions and selling points compared with Fitbit Flex and Jawbone Up 24 I used before. Although Lifelog is slightly better at recording life and software design, it is just icing on the cake.
In general, SmartBand has achieved a good degree of completion in terms of function and appearance design, but it does not have much advantage against many competitors in the market.
