At the 2014 Macworld | iWorld Asia ("MIA" for short), Mackay released its new smart weight gauge Lemon 2. The appearance of Lemon 2, like the Xiaomi bracelet, has once again disrupted the situation of China's smart market. Now let's have a look at the performance of this smart scale, which costs only 49 yuan to return.
Specifications
Size: 31.5 * 31.5 * 2.3cm
Battery model: 3 * AAA battery (No. 7)
Weighing range: 5-150kg
Outer packaging
McKay Smart Weighmeter did not cut corners on the outer packaging because of the price of 49 yuan. It also used the corrugated paper material of Lemon 1. The overall route is environmentally friendly and simple, which not only saves packaging costs, but also does not let the product fall off the grade visually.
▲ The front side of the package is printed with the brand's logo, website and product decomposition diagram, simple lines, and the semi decomposition effect diagram outlined to make the product reveal a sense of science and technology.
▲ The back is simple specifications and "screenshots" of supporting apps. In terms of creativity, the back is far inferior to the front.
▲ After opening the package, it can be seen that McKay's intelligent weight gauge is wrapped in plastic to prevent fingerprints, scratches, etc., and the plastic packaging bag is also printed with "Hello" and other words, instantly shortening the distance between people and products. There is also a manual inside the package.
Product appearance
(Lemon 2 does not launch the color version like the previous generation in terms of color, only black and white, and the white version is evaluated)
▲ The front of Markal intelligent weight gauge is made of stainless steel glass, which greatly reduces the risk of screen breakage. Mackay logo is printed on the lower edge of the product, and there is a very inconspicuous ring led light on the upper end. (lights up when weighing)
▲ The bottom of Lemon 2 adopts the design of pure white plastic panel, and each corner has a TPU foot. The addition of TPU foot can not only provide sufficient friction for Markal intelligent weight meter, effectively prevent sliding, but also make the measurement more accurate.
▲ In the middle of the bottom is the energy source of the whole scale, a battery compartment that can hold three No. 7 batteries.
▲ It is obvious from the side that the product is composed of two parts, the upper end is tempered glass, and the lower end is pure white plastic panel. The plastic panel has done some arc treatment to make the product look thinner. It is worth saying that McKay has made some special treatment at the connection between glass and plastic, and the gap between them is completely invisible to the naked eye.
In general, the design of Lemon 2 is simple and fashionable, and its size is much larger than that of the previous generation, which is 31.5 * 31.5cm. This change avoids the embarrassment of adult men's feet hanging in the air when measuring.
Measurement use
The measurement of Lemon 2 is quite simple. Just stand on the glass panel stably and complete the whole measurement process.
Standing on the scale, the ring LED flashes, indicating that the measurement is in progress; When the LED light is normally on, it indicates that data is being synchronized; The LED light goes out, and the measurement is completed. The whole process takes about 10 seconds.
Measurement precautions
The time interval between two measurements must be greater than 2 seconds, otherwise the second measurement cannot be identified.
It is necessary to stand on the scale stably. If you shake your body, the measurement results will be affected, or even the measurement cannot be completed.
When the ring LED flashes quickly, it indicates that the power is too low. Please replace the battery as soon as possible.
If you stand on the scale and the LED light does not light up, please weigh again after more than two seconds. The product may shut down automatically due to the long interval. (In the three days of the test conducted by the author, the first measurement in the morning of two days showed that the ring LED light for the first time was not on, so the measurement can be carried out normally only when the ring LED light for the first time was reweighed ）
If the LRD light is not on, ask the user to replace the battery. When the battery is discharged, the LED light cannot be lit.
The Lemon 2 can save up to 100 sets of measurement data offline, and the data will be automatically synchronized to the mobile phone APP after online.
Supporting APP "small waist"
Due to the lightweight design concept of McKay's promotional products, the Lemon 2 has adopted a no screen design, so any measurement data needs to be viewed on the supporting APP "Small Man Waist".
▲ APP can be downloaded through the QR code on the scanning instructions. After downloading and installing, remember to manually upgrade to the latest version. The APP link in the manual is an old version and cannot be used normally. McKay still needs to improve on product details.
▲ When you open the APP for the first time, you need to log in or register, and make simple settings for your height, gender and weight, so that the application can provide some suggestions later. These data can be changed in the settings.
▲ Turn on "Small Man Waist", and the APP will automatically request to turn on mobile phone Bluetooth and automatically determine whether your mobile phone supports it.
▲ Turn on Bluetooth, stand on Lemon 2, the mobile phone and the scale will automatically connect, and the weight information and BMI index can be seen on the APP page.
▲ Click the "+" icon at the top left of the home page to manually enter weight data and manage the data.
▲ Click the "Discount" icon on the top right of the home page to enter the broken line chart interface of weight. This interface provides the user's weight change trend according to the date, and the data used is the first weighing result of each day. Click on the upper right corner to share data with friends or Weibo.
▲ The APP also has a social function, which is equivalent to the WeChat of the "weight world". Here you can see the food, mood, weight, etc. shared by other users. Such social function can also play a role of mutual encouragement and supervision.
▲ The last novelty is the alarm clock reminder function. In "Small Man Waist", you can set the time to remind users to measure weight.
▲ Lemon 2 is located in the family, so the menu of member management is also added in the APP. Each family member can have an independent management system. The drawback is that one APP account can only add 4 sub accounts at most, and the weight meter cannot identify members. The measured data needs to manually select members.
▲ For a product focusing on weight measurement, its measurement accuracy cannot be ignored. It can be seen that 10 sets of data within 5 minutes are still quite stable. Finally, the APP settings page.
summary
advantage:
The most important thing is the cost performance of the product. The price of 49 yuan for postage is really attractive.
With more accurate weight data, you can also browse your own weight data changes in the APP to change your eating habits in a timely manner.
Disadvantages:
The two-dimensional code of the instruction manual and other details need to be optimized.
Although the measuring range of 5-150kg can meet the needs of a large number of people, there are still a few people who do not meet the conditions. It is hoped that the measuring range of subsequent products can be expanded.
The design without screen has brought great trouble to some girls who are "impatient".
