Last year's Snapdragon eight hundred reach eight hundred and one The limited improvement of seems to have made the rapid development of smart phone hardware stagnate, but smart hardware has mushroomed, emerging in endlessly and looking vibrant. So where is the intelligence of these products under the banner of intelligence? Will consumers buy it? Through this time, An Dejian iJump Let's talk about the experience of smart rope skipping.
1、 Appearance
First meeting iJump He was attracted by his streamlined shape like a dolphin. The classic color matching of black and white, and the slim and smooth tail make people look more at him. The LCD screen shows his difference from ordinary rope skipping. In short, at the first sight of him, there was a feeling that people wanted to try at once.

Especially when I didn't see the rope on the traditional skipping rope, I couldn't help thinking: does this thing not use rope? It's really a bit dazzling. At this time, no "rope" is better than "rope". But after unpacking the package and seeing all the accessories, I was a little disappointed, because it still has ropes

The matching rope is very heavy, three meters long, neatly wound on the cardboard, and the length can be adjusted according to the user's height. The handle of rope skipping feels good. The shape is not only comfortable to look at, but also comfortable to hold; The surface of the handle is treated like skin, and the thin coating makes it not soft and feels good. There are two button batteries attached with the rope skipping, but actually only one can drive the rope skipping, so there is a spare battery and a spare screw. The manufacturer is very considerate and deserves praise. Seeing this screwdriver, I think of a sentimental manufacturer. Your manufacturer really knows how to play ~
2、 Function introduction & user's experience


The handle is divided into main handle and auxiliary handle. The main handle needs to be equipped with batteries. Of course, the display screen, buttons and Bluetooth module are also on the main handle, so the main handle has more weight than the auxiliary handle. I hope the manufacturer can do some counterweights for the auxiliary handle to make the weight of the two handles closer.

After installing the battery, you can connect the corresponding APP ——An Dejian, a sportsman, paired with a mobile phone. The product manual said that it was not necessary to pair again after the first pairing, but I personally found that every time I opened it during use APP All must be paired first. This problem will be mentioned later.


The first time you open the software, you need to register it. Of course, we can use QQ It is convenient to log in. After logging in, in addition to selecting height and weight, you should also select the target of exercise volume, including the number of steps and rope skipping. They all have the minimum limit; If you want to change the data, just enter the account interface, press and hold the user's avatar to re edit the data. In addition to changing the data and target, you can also clear the movement data. With other sports APP Same as that of An Dejian Sportsman APP You can also share the user's movement data, but at present, the intelligence is shared to WeChat.?

In addition to recording data, Andijian Sportsman also has a reminder function, which can set multiple groups of reminder time and date.

For sports APP The accuracy of the amount of exercise is very important. An Dejian sportsman can not only record the number of rope skipping, but also the number of steps. The installation package can not 2m Andy's counting is accurate. Let's look down. Since the mobile phone is not always on my body, the data recorded by my Xiaomi bracelet is no longer of reference value, so I have installed more used sports on my mobile phone APP Music power makes the comparison results more referential.


In the following two figures, the left is the record of An Dejian's sportsman, and the right is the record of Le Power. The overall gap is relatively large. Through several specific counts (running two models simultaneously under split screen APP , observe while walking APP After counting changes), it was found that the Ludli counting was relatively more stable and accurate.

After all, the number of steps is not an outstanding skill of An Dejian. The most important thing is to count the rope skipping accurately. When skipping rope, press the button on the main handle to start counting. When the user skips rope, the time will be recorded to judge the speed of the user's rope skipping in turn. When the display screen shows the number of rope skipping times, press the button again, it will change to the rope skipping time, and long press will reset this data. But in the process of use, I found that APP The timing of is different from that of the main handle itself APP The data recorded in is APP The time counted by the handle is more accurate. (In the reply at the end of the post, the manufacturer mentioned that the timing of the app is started after the jump rope is connected to the mobile phone and the movement interface appears, so if the jump rope has been connected before the mobile phone is connected, then the movement time recorded by the app must be wrong. The situation I encountered was that I opened the mobile phone app to connect the jump rope after a dozen jumps, The app only synchronizes the time of a dozen jumps, but not the time. The timing of the app really starts after the rope jump is connected.)


Although there are some errors in rope skipping timing, the rope skipping counting is quite accurate, so don't worry about it.

3、 Summarize recommendations
Before writing the post, I received a phone call from the manufacturer to communicate about the use of the product, and also talked about the use of this product and suggestions. The summary is as follows.
① Appearance
I'm very satisfied with the appearance of this product. The streamlined shape and comfortable feel are all my favorite things, but I found a small problem in use. It's really a failure in appearance. The gradually shrinking black tail shape is beautiful, but it's too sharp. I think it's an unsafe factor in sports. I hope it can be changed; The second is painting. Black and white color matching is classic and durable, but white is not particularly resistant to dirt. Sweating is inevitable during exercise. The sweat on the palm of the hand sticking to the white part is not only ugly, but also the skin like material is not easy to clean.


The handle itself looks very high-end, but the display screen like the electronic watch has destroyed the whole atmosphere, and the part of the display screen is recessed. I hope the manufacturer can make a transparent protective cover connected to the watch shell, and refer to the display mode of the millet scale to make the handle more perfect.

② APP
APP It is a window to show data and functions to users. However, Andy's sportsman is obviously poor in some things, such as inaccurate step recording and tangled timing. Even if there is an accurate record of rope skipping, users can still see it on the handle, APP Its role has been further weakened.
Secondly, it is a bit strange that in order to prevent the security software from killing the process of An Dejian Athlete and affecting the accuracy of his records, he should be put on the white list, but he was not found in the list of Le Safe applications I used.
The manufacturer communicates with me most in this respect, APP The development of the software will not happen overnight. They are also working hard to improve. The manufacturer said that the next version of the software will be available soon, and there will be many improvements. Like UI Same, easy to use APP It will also generate stickiness, which makes users want to use it. Andy Jian obviously needs to work harder in this regard.


In fact, I personally think that An Dejian can cooperate with Ludli, a mature step recording software, to add his own rope skipping recording function to Ludli. With the help of Ludli's large user group and perfect community sharing, it can play a certain role in publicity and save development time and funds. Of course, this is just my foolish opinion, APP Our algorithm involves company secrets, so cooperation is not that simple.

③ Attraction & Price Rope skipping is a more efficient form of exercise than running. Compared with running, rope skipping requires less space and weather, and is more convenient. But this sport is also much more boring than running. It is unknown whether people who do not like sports can persist. I'm ashamed to say that I'm also one of those people who have difficulty in exercising. I can't use the badminton racket I bought for hundreds of dollars in class fifteen Then I was idle all the time. The only sport I insisted on was running, which was also because someone dragged me every day If on APP Add the change curve chart of weight and other data in the. When users see their weight drop, they may insist on exercising

So, in APP Can you add functions like sports partners or nearby friends in the game? It will be easier for several people to stick to the game together.
two hundred and sixty-nine The price is also a little high. Rope skipping is not a necessity for sports, and there are many alternative sports. Therefore, this price is expected to deter many people. Of course, the manufacturer told me that the price would be adjusted, hoping to reach a price acceptable to most people.
④ Novelty and interesting
In the communication with the manufacturer, it was also mentioned that "cordless" rope skipping, which breaks away from the inherent appearance of traditional rope skipping and has only a handle, must be more attractive. The manufacturer said that this technology already exists, but the rope in the rope skipping still plays a balance role, but now the manufacturer has been developing different types of rope skipping, and this kind of dazzling cordless rope skipping may also meet consumers.

4、 Left and right

Whether it is a simple and direct traditional skipping rope or a novel and interesting intelligent skipping rope, the most fundamental goal is to let users get exercise in skipping. Obviously, both types of skipping rope can achieve this goal. How to let users choose smart skipping ropes that are dozens of times more expensive than traditional ones? We want to let users get more from using smart skipping ropes, not only exercise, but also healthy and reasonable exercise; Let him not only connect the rope skipping data APP , but also a private health steward; Let him not only be a boring exercise process, but also a tool to make friends and share sports experience.

The development of science and technology gives intelligent devices wings. Compared with traditional devices, intelligent devices with unique skills can easily surpass the tradition in corners, even in the most extreme. In this case, we should calm down and polish the products APP+ Bluetooth + The equipment was casually mixed together and rushed to the market, so that the woodcutter could not be hurt by sharpening the knife.


Technology goes to the left and tradition goes to the right. However, whether it is left or "left", I hope the manufacturers can think about it.

ps： Andy especially called for advice and suggestions, which made people feel that the manufacturer should have the attitude and determination to do a good job with a product, which is very important. If they don't pay attention to their own products, who will pay attention to them. Here, I wish Andy can develop more useful and practical intelligent devices and well matched APPs!
