When it comes to Android Wear, ordinary players will only think of MOTO 360, G Watch R and Gear Live, which are relatively popular products. In fact, ASUS has also launched an Android Wear smart watch with a textured body. Its name is ZenWatch. What's the experience of this smart watch?
We simply skipped the unpacking process. Like most other smart watches, accessories have power adapters, data cables and a charging base. The charging current of the power adapter is relatively large, reaching 1.35A, which has exceeded many mobile phones, but the charging current to the charging base is 0.5A.
Although the screen of ZenWatch is square, its dial design is also relatively round. Although it does not look like MOTO 360 or G Watch R, it is still better than gear live, SmartWatch 3 and other conventional designs.
The dial is surrounded by a metal frame, which has an excellent texture. However, the "screen proportion" is small.
From this angle, we can see that the glass outside the screen shows a certain radian, that is, the 2.5d glass, which is popular nowadays, has excellent touch. The surface glass of ZenWatch uses Corning gorilla glass.
There is a microphone on the side, through which you can input voice commands. The metal frame has a three-layer structure, and the middle layer is brown.
There are five metal contacts on the back of the ZenWatch, which are used to connect with the charging base.
Like many high-end smart watches, ZenWatch uses a leather strap to improve the texture.
Brown leather watchband, but its surface is not very wear-resistant, which is prone to "peeling".
The watch strap can be easily removed through the metal buckle on the side for easy replacement.
ZenWatch uses a metal fastener to easily adjust the strap length.
There is ASUS LOGO on the outside of the metal fastener, where the metal adopts the metal wire drawing process.
ZenWatch can be upgraded to Android Wear 5.0.1, bringing smoother operation and more colorful dials.
After Android Wear is upgraded to 5.0.1, it provides more types of dials.
Press and hold the dial to replace it.
After Android Wear 5.0 is updated, there will be more options of "Watch faces", namely dial selection, in the mobile phone client. At the same time, we can enter Google Play to install more third-party dials.
The drop down bar of Android Wear 5.0 has added a function menu, which can set vibration, automatic wake-up and other functions by sliding left and right.
Click the screen to enter the main menu. I believe that those who have played Android Wear will be familiar with this. After upgrading Android Wear 5.0, the layout of the main menu has not changed, and common applications are placed at the top of the menu.
The setting menu is designed with gray background and white characters.
ZenWatch has upgraded to Android Wear 5.0.1 through OTA (need to climb over the wall). Google's push upgrade of all Android Wear devices is almost synchronized, so ZenWatch can also enjoy the "pro son" treatment.
We can also push applications to Android Wear through USB Debug, and of course, we can find the applications we need in Google Play.
The new version of WeChat already supports Android Wear devices and pedometer friend ranking.
The built-in electronic compass (the screenshot here has a bug, and one of the pieces in the upper right corner will turn black. I really can't find the reason. Sorry.)
It is believed that Android Wear users use more functions. After upgrading Android Wear 5.0.1, the interface of pedometer will become more flat.
Google Play already has many applications for Android Wear, but many third-party applications are charged, and it seems that they are not very practical for domestic users in terms of functions.
In terms of use, the Android Wear device is not a very practical product. Users may use it most often only to watch system notifications through their watches when it is inconvenient to watch their mobile phones, and occasionally use pedometers. Of course, if you are a digital enthusiast, want to try wearable devices, and are tired of the stereotyped ordinary watches, then Android Wear devices may satisfy your curiosity and give you a good opportunity to "toss". For ZenWatch, it is a low-key Android Wear device. Compared with Samsung LG、 Motorola and other big brands have a relatively low sense of existence, but the product itself is solid enough, and the appearance is more personalized. In terms of battery life, ZenWatch can be used when it is connected to the mobile phone (the screen is turned off for a long time). The battery life can last about three and a half days, which is basically satisfactory.
In terms of system experience, Android Wear devices can be said to be very similar, and interested friends can click the video below to watch.
