What is the biggest problem of smart watches now? My answer is battery life. Although the Android Wear watch has powerful functions, its worrying battery life is really hard to love. So in many cases, it is good to use enough functions. A simple, practical and worry free smart watch may be a better life partner.
When I first got the COOKOO Watch, I mistakenly thought it was a very ordinary electronic watch. The traditional pointer design and low-key frosted appearance are unique in the smart watch industry, which emphasizes the screen. White and yellow pointers in dark colors add a little light to the watch, and the overall appearance is quite harmonious.
COOKOO Watch will provide silicone strap and canvas strap for selection. I chose the dark blue canvas strap. The canvas strap is quite strong and has a little sporty flavor.
The back of the dial is made of stainless steel, and the slot on the back cover is just the width of a one yuan coin. You can take off the cover to replace the battery after inserting the coin and rotating it. Look carefully at the silicone waterproof strip around the cover, but don't worry that opening the cover will make the waterproof invalid, because a battery of the COOKOO Watch can last for a whole year, Yes, it's a whole year, and the waterproof capacity of 10ATM/100M is basically all-weather.
Although the instruction manual suggests that users should not wear a bath or perform water and underwater sports, there is no pressure to wear a bath and wash dishes or even soak in the bathtub during the experience. When they often wash their hands, they can wipe soap liquid on their watches and wash their hands. There is no problem at all.
The super long endurance is naturally related to the extremely simple and practical functions. In brief, the COOKOO Watch is divided into two modules. One module is an independent pointer clock module, which can adjust the time at will. The other module is an intelligent module with Bluetooth and motion sensors. The two modules are powered independently, that is, there are two batteries inside the watch, Even if the battery in charge of the Bluetooth module is dead, the basic time viewing function can be retained.
COOKOO Watch does a good job in the essential functions of the watch. The clock module is simple, clear and easy to read, but the pointer and dial are not fluorescent, so you still have to reach out and press a button to light up the backlight of the electronic screen in a completely black environment. There are five buttons around the watch body. The upper left is the power button, and the lower left and right are the left page turning button and the right page turning button respectively. The upper right is the function button. Pulling out the ring in the middle right can set the time of the pointer, which is the same as the operation logic of traditional watches.
The monochrome screen in the middle of the watch can display quite a lot of content. According to the icon, it can display the current incoming call, SMS, email, instant messaging (such as WeChat), calendar notification alert and low battery alert. Unfortunately, the top screen cannot display Chinese characters, Only Arabic numerals and English letters can be displayed.
For example, when there is an incoming call, if the name of the contact in the phone address book is in English, the name of the contact will be displayed on the screen of the watch. If the contact is not saved, the phone number will be displayed directly. The calendar item is also, and only the English calendar item can be displayed.
In the same way, if you have not viewed the SMS, you will also be prompted, and the upper screen will display the SMS content, provided that the SMS content is in English.
If there are multiple notifications of the same type (such as multiple WeChat messages), the icon responsible for displaying messages will flash and the upper screen will display the number of messages not viewed, and the prompt icon of SMS is different from that of other messages. The prompt icon of SMS has two empty lines of bubbles, while the prompt icon of other messages is a solid bubble, It's good to distinguish.
When the power of the mobile phone is low (generally less than 20%), the battery icon on the watch screen will flash, indicating that the power of the mobile phone is low.
The COOKOO Watch screen may not be as good as other smart watches in terms of specifications, but its practicality is quite good. It can easily see the displayed content under direct sunlight.
Of course, as a qualified smart watch, it cannot only have the function of notification and prompt, The COOKOO Watch also has a built-in motion sensor, which can work with the mobile phone's GPS to detect the user's activity, to calculate the user's daily time of inactivity and time of walking or fast running. Finally, a very intuitive pie chart is displayed in the mobile phone's APP, and it will also save the recent movement, calculate the heat consumption. For sedentary office workers, It can still encourage users to walk more.
In addition, COOKOO Watch can also take photos by remote control in combination with the APP on the mobile phone. After starting the camera function in the APP, long press the function key of the watch to take a picture. The front and rear cameras can be remotely controlled, which is also good for taking self photos gracefully.
Then if the phone can't be found, you can press the left page turning key and the function key at the same time. After pressing the left page turning key at the same time, the phone will make a cuckoo like "cooing" sound, and you can find the phone by following the sound.
Of course, to achieve those functions, the watch must be connected to the mobile phone through Bluetooth. The official said that the effective connection distance is 10~20 meters, but with the barrier, it may be up to 15 meters. After opening the out of range prompt on the mobile phone APP, if it is out of range, the watch will beep and vibrate to remind users to get close to the mobile phone.
In general, in terms of functionality, COOKOO Watch It has chosen to be practical. Basically, it provides all the functions you need, but it is a pity that it does not support the display of Chinese characters. In other aspects, there is no problem. Such a simple notification function is enough for more and more users of giant screen mobile phones. With COOKOO Watch, you can safely throw your large screen mobile phone into your bag, There is no need to worry about bending the phone in your pocket as soon as you bend down and tie a shoelace.
In terms of mobile phone support, COOKOO Watch supports almost all mainstream smart phones on the market. As long as the mobile phone system is above Android 4.3 or iOS 7, it can be used without pressure, even Android tablets and iPads.
So the minimalist COOKOO Watch is still very popular. With simple functions and a design that is not easy to get used to, quite solid workmanship, and the most important super long endurance, it is really good to be a life partner, at least much better in terms of practicality than those "watches" that use one or two days to call for charging.
