The Sharkey watch launched by Watchdata costs 399 yuan. In addition to pushing mobile phone notifications and running records, it is also a "profiled card" of Beijing municipal all-in-one card. You can check the balance directly - Mom is not worried that I will forget my bus card anymore.

Low appearance and long endurance

The Sharkey watch I received is a black version. According to the official introduction, in addition to the black version, there are red, yellow, blue and white options. If I had to choose white, I might choose white, so that I could look fresh.

For the appearance of this watch, although I had some psychological preparation before opening the package, there was still a big gap between the actual Sharkey watch and the expected value after seeing it. Slightly tilt the watch body to observe that the internal screen and the external glass dial are not fully fitted. Like the electronic watches I used when I was a child, how can anyone produce such a low gadget when the fully fitted screen electronic products are already popular today?

Fortunately, although the face value is not high enough, the watchband and body are made of skin like materials, and the rubber watchband is relatively soft, which is comfortable to wear.

After pressing the power key for a long time, the screen lights up with a flash of white light. It turns out that Sharkey watches use the same e-ink screen as the famous e-reader Amazon Kindle. This kind of screen is characterized by very low power consumption, because it only consumes power when refreshing content. The screen only refreshes once a minute when it is in daily standby. As a result, after four days of use, its power consumption is only a quarter of a grid. According to this power consumption, I can take it off and charge it once every two weeks, This is an extravagant hope for most smart watches.

In addition, this kind of screen looks like the paper with words printed on it, so the stronger the light is, the clearer it will look, and it will not be difficult to recognize under strong light like the LCD screen. Of course, the disadvantages of this screen are also very obvious. Its refresh rate is very slow, and it will feel significantly slow when turning pages. In addition, it has no backlight, so it can be regarded as a smart bracelet without a screen in a dim environment.

Replace the bus card? No problem at all!

After I got this watch, the first thing I did was to test its bus card function. Because this Sharkey watch didn't give me a free card balance, I had to recharge it first.

Since the online recharge function provided by Sharkey watch's APP has not been activated yet, I first used my colleague's mobile phone to recharge 10 yuan with the official recharge software "eLeChong", so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of unable to recharge at the subway counter. To be on the safe side, I borrowed a colleague's all-in-one card and put it in my pocket (I am a motorcycle party, and seldom take a bus, so I can't get a all-in-one card). If the brush is not stable, it will affect other passengers.

However, these doubts were completely dispelled after several uses. The girl in charge of recharging was not surprised when she received the watch I handed over, but she calmly charged my value. The reaction of "swiping card" with a watch is also very sensitive. I don't need to stick the card on the induction area of the gate as I used to swipe the all-in-one card, because the distance between the watch and the induction area is about 10 cm. After several tests with various positions, I found that, "Swipe card" does not need to turn up your wrist and use the back of your hand to close to the sensing area at all. Instead, gently brush the top of the sensing area with your palm.

Of course, I also encountered some "irresistible" embarrassing problems in use. Most of Beijing's subway and bus card swiping areas are designed for right hand card swiping, and quite a few people habitually take watches products to their left hand (including me), so when using Sharkey watches to "swipe", I need to extend my left wrist to the sensor on the right side for operation. Fortunately, the sensing distance is relatively long. For a person of 174 height and long arm length, the difficulty coefficient of this movement is not high. It can be achieved by turning my body sideways. Of course, if you are a student who is used to wearing a watch on your right hand, you can completely ignore this problem.

Burn immediately after reading the notice

As a smart watch, the Sharkey watch naturally has a message reminder function, which can remind users by vibrating. However, it supports several limited events such as incoming calls, missed calls, SMS messages and alarm clocks. Messages from third-party applications such as QQ and WeChat cannot be pushed to the Sharkey watch.

When there is an incoming call, Sharkey will vibrate intermittently. The screen can display the number and name of the incoming call (provided that you have this number in your address book), but it will vibrate only five times at most. If I ignore it and let it become a missed call, Sharkey will vibrate again four times after stopping the vibration for a few seconds to tell me that the call has become a missed call. After shaking, I want to check the missed call through my watch, but I can't find it because the Sharkey Watch does not provide the function of historical message record query at all. If you want to know who called just now, please check your mobile phone.

Compared with the missed call reminder, Sharkey's reminder on SMS should be "kind". After one shock, the content of the SMS will be displayed on the screen and will not disappear immediately. However, only the first 55 characters of the message can be displayed, and more content will be changed to "...". When I finish reading the SMS and click the return button (click other buttons and there will be no response), This message also disappeared like the previous missed call reminder. Sharkey seemed to tell me that it was just a reminder. If you want to know what happened, you'd better check your mobile phone.

summary

Although the appearance of the Sharkey watch is not impressive enough, and even makes people feel a little low, I am deeply impressed by its all-in-one card function, unique reminder function, and super long battery life.

Whether it is worth 399 yuan or not is up to everyone to decide.
