Used Pebble After that, my interest in smart watches gradually diminished due to the dissatisfaction in my heart. However, recently, a smart watch named i'm watch slightly raised my interest. This watch claims to be the most perfect smart watch, with a color screen. It can make phone calls and check email. It seems quite powerful from the perspective of configuration and function, but is it really so?

Color screen and metal body, the first impression of the i'm watch is that it is better than the Pebble. In addition, the phone and other functions are really attractive, but you should know that function and experience cannot be equated.

appearance

The i'm watch is made of aluminum alloy with a curved touch screen and six colors. Although it is not very high-end, it is much better than the plastic body of Pebble. However, for those who are used to wearing watches, the i'm watch is still too toy. After all, the aluminum alloy body+plastic strap is too textured.

It's still too thick from the side

function

The i'm watch claims to be the perfect smart watch. Compared with Pebble, it is much better in function. Pebble can only call to remind, while the i'm watch can be used to make and answer calls. But many functions do not mean you are perfect.

Telephone function

The i'm watch is equipped with speakers and microphones, and we can make calls directly through the dial interface. This concept is very convenient in some scenarios, such as not going home for dinner at night, and you can make calls without taking out your phone from your bag.

Of course, it is also very convenient to use the i'm watch to answer the phone. You should have met the problem of missing calls when your phone is in your bag or pocket. The i'm watch will tell you there is a phone call or a text message through its own speaker, and you can also see who the caller is on the screen directly. Of course, if it is very noisy outdoors, we may still miss answering the phone. It would be better if it could use shock reminders like Pebble.

Although the concept of calling is good, as long as you use it, you will never love again. For example, if you want to call a classmate, the phone number must not be remembered directly, The i'm watch can import the address book, but it has no search function. Then you have to scroll the address book from head to tail to find the number of the classmate. At this time, you will find that it is much more efficient to take out a mobile phone directly to search.

On the one hand, efficiency is the most troublesome thing, however, is the call quality. Soon after the phone is connected, the opposite side begins to ask, "It seems that the signal is not very good." In fact, it is not very good, it is very bad. Every sentence on the phone will always have a few words that cannot be heard clearly. Many times you have to guess, or ask again. If I asked what impact the smart watch had on me, I would say, "What? Say it again......" has become my pet phrase.

When you switch the audio source of your mobile phone from your watch to your mobile phone, you will feel a sense of rebirth when you use your mobile phone to make calls. The other side of the phone said, "It seems that I was pinched just now, but now I feel much more comfortable". What's more, you will find that the other party's IQ is normal after you use your mobile phone to make a call? When you call with a smart watch, it will take 3 seconds for the other person to respond after you say a sentence, but now it is second. What's going on here? The voice delay of Y's smart watch is serious!! By the way, this delay is two-way, so the other party may also doubt your IQ, although you use a smart watch.

SMS function

I don't have so many complaints about the SMS function. The operation is also simple. It is similar to checking SMS on the mobile phone. If I put forward some suggestions, I would like to support handwritten replies to SMS. If I really want to complain, my watch responds slowly.

Mail function

It is also very good to check the email by watch, at least you can preview whether it is important. However, the email settings of the i'm watch are quite troublesome. You must go to the imcloud page of the i'm watch and set it on the page. In addition, installing other applications can also be operated through this page, but there are too few applications in it, and most of them are impractical, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.

operation

The touch screen operation is certainly simple, especially for those users who are used to smart phones. The difference is that the size of the screen is too small, so some things are not so easy to operate. Therefore, I'm watch also adds some gesture operations. For example, you can close the current program by sliding from the lower left corner to the upper right corner.

It's not difficult to operate, but the system's stuck during operation will make you suspect that this watch is not made in Italy, but is a fake product of Huaqiangbei. The feeling that there will be a response after two seconds of operation will make you think the screen is out of order.

Endurance

After using the i'm watch for a period of time, you will understand why it is so thick. The i'm watch claims that it can stand by for 24 hours when Bluetooth is connected. Generally, it can be used for up to 5 hours. Compared with the Pebble, its battery life is really weak, but generally it is barely enough for going out, so it still needs to be recharged every day like the mobile phone.

At the very least, a qualified product should be able to work. I'm watch is stuck in the most basic operations. The function of making phone calls can also be said to be completely useless. It is a completely unqualified product. The more you use Pebble, the more you will miss it. Although I complained about it, its function is not as good as I'm watch, but at least it is a usable product.

In fact, the function of traditional watches is of little significance. People buy traditional watches more as a symbol of decoration and status. However, the additional identity symbol of the current smart watch is not big. Even if you say it is Made in Italy, no one will pay for it. People are more curious about this smart concept to try something new. What they want to buy is a functional product. If a smart watch cannot even meet the most basic functions, it can only be regarded as garbage.
