Chinese media rarely have the opportunity to get new Apple products in advance. But this time, half a month before the launch of the Apple Watch, Sina released its first Chinese review article and promoted it to all users on the Weibo headlines.

from In the more detailed evaluation, we extracted some interesting content that "you can't know without starting":

1. It looks a little smaller than the actual

Sina got a 42 mm large Apple Watch, a stainless steel case and a Milanese strap. This watch costs 5288 yuan, just like the iPhone 6. For comparison, the 38mm version sells for 4888 yuan. It is believed that many people are concerned about the size selection of the Apple Watch. They are worried about whether it is too big for boys to wear 42mm and too small for girls to wear 38mm. Sina's hands-on experience is that the 42mm version looks smaller than the actual size.

(Apple Watch) Each corner of the square fuselage or the joint of parts is treated as an arc, which feels warm and makes it look a little smaller than the actual.

2. The back does not touch the hand

Many people have not noticed that the back of the Apple Watch is not flat. It has a round bulge, just like the camera of Lumia 920. This module is also used for adsorption charging. Sina said that it is not necessary to worry about uncomfortable wearing. Apple Watch has done a good job.

Before I actually wore it, I was worried that its protruding back would touch my hands, but after using it, I found that there was no need to worry about it. Zirconia itself is a very hard material, because of proper treatment, there is no hard or cold touch.

3. Wear it on the right hand, and the keystroke habit is also reversed

Most people are used to wearing watches on their left hand. The Apple Watch is also designed for most people. The two buttons are on the right side of the body. However, if you like to wear a watch on your right hand, you can wear it directly on your right hand. Also, select "Right hand wear" in the setting to flip the screen, so that the two buttons are turned to the back of the hand instead of the arm side. At this time, the digital watch crown is at the bottom and the side button is at the top.

4. The strap of an ordinary watch can also be used

This is the secret that Lei Fengwang has just discovered. Although the strap interface of the Apple Watch is unique, a new strap is installed through the bulge on a buckle. However, some manufacturers have introduced an adapter for the strap interface. After installing this adapter, it can be used with the standard strap of an ordinary watch (22mm by visual inspection). By the time the Apple Watch was launched on April 24, a large number of interface adapters should have been sold on Taobao. I wonder if Apple will officially launch them.

5. The operation mode of touch screen+digital watch crown needs to be adapted

On iPhone, all operations are completed by touch. However, on the Apple Watch, additional options need to be set through the digital crown. People who are used to using iPhone may have to adapt to this different operation logic.

Because the screen is small, the operation that can be completed by clicking on the screen on the iPhone has to be broken down to part of the crown of the digital watch. It takes a little application time to use the iPhone, but don't worry too much, and you will soon get used to it.

6. The vibration feels wonderful, like heartbeat

Maybe only Apple will work hard on the effect of vibration. Because vibration is the main way to remind people on the Apple Watch, Apple has made a special design to make it not as stiff as the iPhone, which will not make people feel abrupt, thus affecting the work at hand.

Apple Watch will give a prompt message about the vibration of the watch, which Apple named "Taptic Engine". This linear actuator can generate tactile feedback, which is completely different from the high-frequency vibration motor on mobile phones. For these unique vibration experiences, Apple engineers sampled laser swords or bell sounds in Star Wars movies, and then converted them into skin touch. The experience finally presented on the watch was very wonderful. According to the different prompts, it felt like someone patted his wrist, or felt like a heartbeat.

7. The process of scanning "cloud picture" matching is very gorgeous

How does Apple Watch pair with iPhone? Not scanning the code, but scanning the "cloud map". Well... I didn't expect it. After pairing, the data on the iPhone will be synchronized automatically without manual operation.

After upgrading iOS 8.2, many people began to imagine how to open the watch icon and start scanning the QR code for pairing - this was only half right. It is indeed code scanning pairing, but the actual process is more colorful. When you first use the Apple Watch, a nebula shaped pattern will appear when you turn on the phone, and then you can start the Apple Watch app on your phone to pair. This process is quite cool. It takes a few minutes for the Apple Watch to start synchronizing the data on the iPhone, including the phone book, some photo albums, and so on, without personal intervention.

8. No sleep monitoring function

Apple didn't explain the specific reason. Considering the 18 hour battery life of the Apple Watch, it must be charged at night.

9. It's natural to look at the notice

The Android Wear watch needs to click once to see the full notification content. Don't underestimate this click. It gives people a completely different feeling. Apple Watch does not need it. It is visible when you raise your hand.

Apple Watch You can receive notifications on the iPhone, but in order to prevent information from flooding, the application can set which application notifications are allowed to appear on the phone separately. When new notifications arrive, you will feel your wrist has been tapped gently, and you can see it without touching the screen with your finger and lifting your wrist. This is a very natural action, and it is also the way that technology products should be used.

10. Digital Touch is a genius for communication between watches

When communicating with another Apple Watch user, you can not only make a phone call or send a text message, but also send a digital touch, which can be a doodle or your own heartbeat.

The person who came up with the idea of Digital Touch is a genius. If two people have an Apple Watch, a finger icon will appear below their avatar. After clicking to enter, you can draw a simple graffiti on the watch and send it to the other party, or two fingers send their own heartbeat, or one finger pokes the screen, and the other party's wrist will have a corresponding rhythm of tapping. This kind of communication mode is unique, has a wonderful experience and seems to be mixed with a little ambiguous emotion. It can directly promote more Apple Watches to sell in pairs.

11. Remove the watch and start the screen lock

Apple Pay has not officially entered China, so it cannot test this function. However, Apple is very considerate about the security issues that many people care about.

When it comes to payment, I would like to say one more security related question. Apple Watch does not have Touch ID fingerprint recognition function, but it can set a password. The sensor behind it will activate the screen lock when the watch is removed. This interface is similar to the iPhone, and it cannot be accessed without a password. The sensor detects the pulse, so don't worry about "hand chopping"... In the actual measurement, I insert a piece of paper between my wrist and my watch, and the screen lock will be activated immediately.

12. Power saving mode can last for 3 days

Many people worry about whether the 18 hour endurance is enough. This question actually depends on whether you use it to record fitness, because the most power consuming time is when the fitness app is turned on. "Many sensors are turned on at the same time, and the average power consumption is 20% an hour.". When exercising, you can choose to turn off the heart rate sensor to save electricity. But Apple Watch also has a global power saving mode that can help a lot.

If the power is too low, the Apple Watch will automatically enter the power-saving mode. At this time, all sensors are turned off, and the digital display time is reserved on one corner of the screen. This is the most power-saving operation mode, which can last about 72 hours. However, at this time, the Apple Watch will press the side button according to the time, and there is a delay of one second. The use experience is not very good.

The wireless charging speed is about 70 minutes. The charging process will make the watch slightly warm, but it will not feel hot.

summary

Article 6 The optimization of Apple Watch for vibration and Article 10 of the creativity of Digital Touch are the most impressive parts of Lei Feng's review.

If you are determined to buy an Apple Watch, don't forget to book it on Apple's official website at 3:00 p.m. on April 10.
