preface

Since last year, all kinds of smart watches have been emerging, such as Pebble, MOTO 360, Apple Watch and many other brands of smart watches, including Weloop's first generation smart watch, Xiaohei. One year later, August 3, Weloop held an online conference on WeChat group and released the second generation Xiaohei smart watch. This smart watch focuses on one month's super long life. On the first day of crowdfunding, it exceeded 200000 yuan. Let's take a look at the unique charm of the second generation Xiaohei smart watch

Appearance appreciation

The second generation of Xiaohei is divided into two versions, the sports version and the commemorative version. The packaging of the two versions is different. In addition, the sports version is equipped with a silicone strap, and the commemorative version is equipped with a leather strap in addition to the silicone strap. Today we are going to introduce the Xiaohei 2 commemorative edition. The outer package of the commemorative edition is an overall white square box. Except the logo of WeLoop above, there is no other logo on the whole body, maintaining the overall simple design style. As usual, the back is some company information.

The package of the commemorative edition adopts a draw out design, which will naturally slide when gently lifted, reflecting Xiao Hei's handling of details on the package. When the upper cover is opened, a red dial style card will be introduced first. Users can write words on the back and give it to relatives and friends as a gift, which is also a very considerate design.

The inner package is packed in a cylindrical fine frosted plastic box, which feels very comfortable overall. Like the outer package, the design style of the inner package is also simple with a hint of fashion. I have to say that the package of the commemorative version is very exquisite. Compared with the sports version, the difference of 100 yuan is worth my personal opinion.

When I lifted the lid of the cylinder, Little Black 2 lay quietly in it. At the first sight, I felt that the watch was moderate in size and design, but the details were handled very well.

Rotate the bracket above and place the watch charger below. According to the publicity of the press conference, this watch charger is also famous.

The main weight of the bracelet is 19g, just equal to the weight of a bracelet. For a watch, it is quite light and comfortable, which can let you sleep safely with the watch. The dial size of 32.4 * 44.3mm is very suitable for Asians, and it will not be heavy and uncomfortable like Xinli.

Xiaohei 2 is made of ABS plastic+GF synthetic fiber. Although it is made of plastic, it has a ceramic like texture after molding, with high hardness and wear resistance. The unique quick release design of the watch strap makes it convenient for users to replace it in the later period and meets their personalized needs.

Xiaohei's super long standby time is its biggest highlight. With a low-power LCD screen, it can stand by for up to 30 days even if it stays on. Although the experience time has not reached 30 days, after a week of use, the battery power has not dropped a notch, which surprised me.

Xiaohei 2 has a waterproof level of 30 meters, which can be worn for bathing, swimming, etc.

The packable magnetic adsorption charger is also a very novel design. When charging, just put the watch close to the charger, it can automatically absorb. After charging, just wind the line, and the USB charging head will automatically absorb on the charger.

Click the button in the middle to call out the menu. Through up and down button switching, you can see that the menu functions of Xiaohei 2 are very rich, including message notification, running training, music control, camera control, mobile phone search and other functions. Running training is one of my favorite functions. It can be used by users without APP, and has a timer Mileage, pace and stride frequency are test items that can be viewed at any time during running. After running, you can choose to save and sync to the APP.

APP experience

A good device needs good APP cooperation. Scan the QR code on the trial guide, download Weloop, register an account and enter the APP. Device connection is also relatively simple. The mobile phone can be connected by turning on Bluetooth, finding the corresponding name and pairing. After searching for the device, click to connect. The device interface does not have too many fancy functions, and the function of turning up the screen is recommended by individuals, It is convenient for users to watch the time in dark environment, and the screen will automatically light up after turning the wrist. Camera control and music player settings can be matched with the watch to control the operation of the mobile phone at the watch end. The appearance of camera control avoids the embarrassment of being unable to find anyone to take photos. Just adjust the angle of the mobile phone and press the button on the watch to turn into a camera shutter. The anti loss function of mobile phone is more suitable for public places with many people. When the mobile phone and the watch exceed a certain distance, there will be a vibration reminder.

Now let's take a look at the movement step recording function. Compared with some sports bracelets, the step recording function of Xiaohei 2 is more detailed. Through the movement recorded by the watch, we can calculate the steps, distance, time and speed of walking in a certain period of time, and automatically identify walking and movement; The APP will also record the time of a long sit down. At present, there is no sitting reminder function. Personally, since there is an analysis of sitting down time, the software can be optimized later to launch a sitting reminder; Little Black 2 also has a sleep time record. Because of its light body, it will not feel awkward even at night.

The ranking page will upload the weekly consumption, list the ranking, encourage users to exercise more and keep healthy. Personally, I think it is possible to add a nearby person on the ranking page, and everyone can run and exercise together through Xiao Hei; The personal page has more functions. The first thing you can see is the display of the amount of exercise, the best day, the best week, etc., and you can set daily exercise goals according to your own amount of exercise; Open the running track. When running assistant is used, the track will be automatically recorded for viewing on APP.

Xiaohei's message push function is also one of the highlights. Users can choose the APP that needs to push messages. When the phone receives a message, it will automatically push it to the watch, so that you can see the information of the phone without taking out the phone. It is strange that APP does not have push calls and SMS messages by default; Xiaohei 2 also has alarm clock and schedule reminder functions, and supports self setting reminder time.

The replacement of the dial of Xiaohei 2 is a fun function. Click the replacement dial on the device page to enter the dial store. Each watch supports the simultaneous use of three dials. The official message from Weloop is that users can use DIY dials by themselves, but so far, except for the officially contracted dials designers, other users cannot customize them, and hope the official can speed up the process.

summary

After a week of use, I was very satisfied with the overall performance of the Xiaohei 2. Especially in terms of the endurance, the battery was still full after a week of use, and the waterproof ability was also quite outstanding. In order to test the waterproof performance of the Xiaohei 2, I did not take off my watch this week, including taking a bath, which did not affect Xiaohei's work at all. However, none of the products is perfect. Behind the strong endurance performance of Xiaohei 2, the Bluetooth connection is unstable. Every time, the Bluetooth symbol on the watch is often seen to be disconnected, which is one of the key points that the official needs to optimize later. In addition, in terms of data synchronization, Xiaohei's data synchronization is different from other brand wrist watches, Xiaohei first synchronizes to the device, then uploads to the server, and then downloads the historical data from the server, which results in a very long synchronization time and is affected by factors such as network speed. In general, compared with the first generation, the Xiaohei 2 has greatly improved in appearance and function. Although some shortcomings have been found in use, it is still very worthwhile compared with the price of 499. If you happen to be looking for an affordable and practical smart watch, I believe the Weloop Xiaohei 2 is a good choice for you.
