Smart watch is one of the hottest products in recent years. All major manufacturers have launched their own smart watch products, such as MOTO360, Apple Watch and so on. If you are still hesitant about what kind of smart watch to buy, I suggest that because the smart watch is still in a semi mature state, and it is still a bit inferior to a mature product like mobile phones, it is better to wait and see, wait for the product evaluation, and then buy according to your own needs! The smart watch I want to introduce to you today is the TCL Watch released by the well-known TCL in China. I hope this review can help you compare and reference when you buy smart watches!
The packaging design of TCL Watch is very international. The whole package adopts a pull out design. It is very interesting that the design of TCL Watch is printed on both the inner and outer packages, but the design is different. On the package, I will not introduce it. I just tell you that the packaging of this product does not give me a sense of cheapness.
When the package was opened, the front of the TCL Watch was placed in a black sponge. From this point of view, the appearance of the TCL Watch was pretty good. The traditional round dial was used, and the round dial design is believed to add a lot of image points to the TCL Watch.
TCL Watch is equipped with a 240 × 204 resolution 1.2 inch display screen. In addition, the surface of the screen uses 2.5D glass, which is quite popular this year. Of course, it can't be seen clearly from this angle. I will show you this 2.5D screen later. It looks like MOTO 360. In addition, there is a scale design on the dial. Only 6 and 12 positions are indicated by numbers.
The ear part of the watch is made of stainless steel, which is polished very carefully. At the same time, it also uses the integrated molding technology, which has a seamless connection with the watch ring. In terms of appearance, the design of this part is very good. In addition, the stainless steel material also ensures durability. There is also a power key on the watch body, which is also made of stainless steel. From this point of view, the whole surface of the TCL Watch is a little thick.
TCL Watch's watch strap is mainly made of silica gel and resin. The outer black surface of the strap is abrasion resistant and has a regular grain design. It looks very beautiful. In addition, the strap also supports NFC functions, allowing mobile phones with NFC functions to touch and connect with it.
TCL Watch uses a butterfly buckle design on the inside of the wrist strap, which makes it very convenient to wear. However, I personally feel that the butterfly buckle will cause discomfort when you wear it, because your wrist will be blocked by the metal butterfly buckle from the moment you wear it, which is very uncomfortable.
From these two pictures, we can see that the butterfly button will block your wrist when we wear the TCL Watch because of its design. If we slightly shrink the size of the watch strap, the butterfly button will block your wrist more deeply. Therefore, I am not sure why we should design the butterfly button in this way, Wouldn't it be more comfortable to wear like MOTO 360? In addition, the inner watchband adopts the design of wavy curved surface, which can help ranking, increase breathability, and the material is very soft.
The partner who uses TCL Watch for the first time may not be able to wear this watch. First, you need to find the part of the metal buckle as shown in the figure, and then pull it up according to the prompt. At this time, you can drag the strap to shrink.
(The figure above shows the state after the butterfly buckle is fully opened and the metal buckle is fixed. Only in this state can you adjust the shrink strap to reach the ideal wearing range. To be fair, this design is really troublesome.)
In addition to the butterfly buckle in the strap design, which I personally think is unreasonable, there is also the charging interface on the top of the strap. Although this charging connector design is quite original, I am very worried about the durability of the silica gel in the charging connector part in future use, because I often move it to charge, Will this cause the silicone protective cover above the connector to break? (A power adapter will be provided with the factory)
The back of the TCL Watch is not as good as the front. The back is made of plastic. The surface has been sanded, and the touch is good. In addition to some product information and certification information, a photoelectric dynamic heart rate sensor is designed in the middle of the back, so that you can monitor your heart rate in real time.
Because the protective film on the TCL Watch screen has not been torn, the characteristics of the screen have not been demonstrated to you. Now let's give you a detailed introduction, The screen of the TCL Watch is the same as that of MOTO 360. There is also a black edge at the bottom of the screen. This black edge is used to implement the return operation. From this picture, the overall appearance of the TCL Watch is remarkable.
Although the screen pixels of the TCL Watch are a little low, the display effect looks good because of the screen size. However, for those who pursue perfection and perfection, the screen pixels may be satisfactory, but from a practical point of view, they are enough. The main interface of TCL Watch only displays time, message push unread prompt, etc. The interface of the watch dial can be changed in settings, and there are many colors to choose from.
As a standard feature of smart watches, message push, including the current smart bracelet, has also been attached with this function, so TCL Watch can naturally push it, but the only problem is that there is a little less text. In addition, TCL Watch uses its own JAVA based customized system, although it supports the use of IOS and Android phones, However, the JAVA system also means that TCL Watch cannot enjoy the same experience of installing third-party customized software as MOTO 360.
(You can reject calls on your watch. If you don't do anything, you will receive a message push notification of missed calls on your mobile phone.)
TCL Watch Because of the limitations of the JAVA system, in fact, it can not be said that it is a limitation, but some software manufacturers can not additionally adapt software for TCL Watch, a single smart watch using the JAVA system, so there are only some common functions in the mobile phone system, such as weather and sports data recording, sleep record monitoring, heart rate monitoring, remote control mobile phone playing music, and early shooting, Compass, stopwatch, and a series of practical functions.
(Compass function)
(The remote control phone can play music and adjust the volume)
(Timing function)
(Heart rate monitoring function, if you can add the introduction of the current heart rate status, many people may not understand what this number represents just by giving a data)
The main operation of smart wearable devices is still inseparable from the mobile phone. However, since the smart watch has a screen, after setting up TCL Watch on the mobile phone APP, it will not be necessary to use the APP for many times. TCL Watch supports IOS and Android phones. At the beginning of use, there will be a short operation prompt. In addition, the login interface is very mature and supports third-party application login.
Like other products, the main interface of TCL Watch's APP is a display of data records. The editor here will not introduce more to you, because no one wants to see endorsement reviews.
Most of the settings of TCL Watch are still made in the settings menu. We can change the dials and wallpaper in various ways according to our own needs. I personally like the design, The system experience of TCL Watch is good. If the systems like Ti Watch and MOTO360 are used, this watch will be very popular. In addition, the endurance of TCL Watch is about 2-5 days. The endurance is different according to different use intensities. The current smart watch's endurance is a top priority. Unless it is a ink screen, it is difficult to maintain a long-term endurance.
The limitations of JAVA's system are quite large. The notifications in the message push only support some software that has been set internally, and cannot be added. Instead, the fixed software in the APP can be set. In addition, TCL Watch supports the function of flipping the screen and heart rate monitoring. As mentioned above, if the current heart rate data status can be added, it may be better to introduce it with detailed information. In addition to these, The mobile app of TCL Watch has no other functions that can be evaluated. The system experience is standard, but there are not enough highlights.
Experience summary: TCL Watch Smart watch is a commendable watch in terms of appearance. It is hard to find such a smart watch among domestic smart watches, but the design on the watch strap makes Xiaobian dislike it very much. Of course, it is also different from person to person. The performance of the system is mediocre and there is no special highlight. To sum up, TCL Watch has a good appearance and experience the middle distance, There is still a long way to go, but the appearance of TCL Watch also means that if the next generation TCL Watch 2 is improved on this basis, I believe it will be a very perfect smart watch! Advantages: stainless steel body, strong business appearance, 2.5D screen, support heart rate monitoring. Disadvantages: JAVA system software is few and does not support expansion. When wearing a butterfly buckle, the watchband will touch the wrist, making it uncomfortable (varies from person to person). The design of the charging protective cover is defective, and the price is a little expensive.
