You have to admit that the market for smart watches and smart bracelets has been very hot recently. All major manufacturers have launched their own smart wearable devices, but I personally feel that these smart wearable devices are just a message pusher. The representative products of smart watches are Apple Watch and Huawei Watch, Moto 360, There is also Tic watch, a domestic manufacturer, but today I would like to introduce another smart watch. It has a more commercial appearance, not less than the experience of Moto 360 and other smart watches. It is a fruit shell watch 2
The package of the shell watch 2 is very special. A black package similar to a gift box looks very classy. You can see the shell watch 2 when you open it. In addition, there is only one charging cable in the whole package, so I won't show you.
The appearance of the shell watch 2 adopts the classic traditional watch shape, which is quite different from other round watches. In addition, the strap of the watch is made of leather. In addition, the shell watch 2 supports the replacement of the strap.
There are three entity keys on the side of the shell watch 2, namely the return key, the HOME key/power key, and the setting key. The operation of the whole watch is through touching the screen and these three entity keys.
There is a ring of raised metal watch ring on the periphery of the display screen of the shell watch 2. After special treatment, it is not easy to leave fingerprints when using. This is the appearance design of the whole shell watch 2, and the defect of this appearance is very obvious. It is too thick. I don't know how many users can accept this thickness.
Fruit shell watch 2 uses a 1.26-inch screen with a resolution of 320 * 320, and the display effect has reached the Retina level. Fruit shell watch 2 has a powerful highlight, which is a function that all smart watches cannot achieve at present. I will tell you later.
The back of the shell watch 2 is designed with a heart rate monitoring device and a magnetic charging interface. The heart rate monitoring function should be an essential function of smart watches and bracelets at present!
The GEAK Watch OS, which is deeply customized based on Android operating system, is built into the shell watch 2. It should be noted that the shell watch system is different from Android Wear. You can understand the shell watch system as an OS similar to that of a mobile phone. Because of the characteristics of this watch, the shell watch 2 has a variety of dial replacement functions.
The TF screen of the shell watch 2 can switch between the electronic ink screen and the color screen at will, so in the case of pure standby, the shell watch 2 can achieve 18 days (18 days for PRO, 15 days for the standard version)!
(More than 2 types of watch dials can be freely replaced)
It has to be said that it can support the function of changing the dial, which can increase the experience of this smart watch. Moreover, these dials are constantly being updated, and you can freely choose from the dial functions in the shell watch.
Now, let's take a look at the specific system function experience of this watch! As I said before, because the GEAK Watch OS is built in, many operation modes are similar to those of mobile phones, such as Bluetooth connection, wifi connection, etc.

GEAK Watch OS has built-in super power saving function, which can be set in the advanced power management function in the watch. After all, the most troublesome problem of a smart watch is its endurance. Forget to say, even if you don't just stand by and use the watch normally, the endurance of the shell watch 2 can reach one week (the standard version is 6 days)
(Fruit shell watch 2 has a built-in 4GB storage space. Generally, the apps installed on the watch are very small, and 4GB is enough)
The operation mode of the shell watch 2 has also been introduced before. In addition to physical keys, it is touch operation. There are many functions in the GEAK Watch OS. In addition to the message push, movement counting, and heart rate functions, other applications can be added and installed through the app store
A watch that can install apps independently is a real smart watch. The shell watch 2 has an app store built in, providing many interesting applications, but these applications are still relatively few at present. I am very looking forward to the future update and optimization of the shell watch's application, because even QQ, WeChat, and navigation maps have not yet been launched. I hope to continue to launch interesting applications!
Now let's take a look at some applications running with the shell watch 2! Playing games is all about kids, but no one can play games on a watch foolishly! But we are more looking forward to whether the shell watch can design some special games for watches? For example, games integrated with sports, how many steps to run, what to reward, and watch games based on the characteristics of watches, rather than the silly touch screen game like mobile phones.
This is an application similar to recipes. I think it is very interesting. When cooking, you can look at some introductions on your wrist.

There are still a lot of games in the GEAK Watch OS App Store, and this Pokemon game even exists. Before installing this app, I always wondered how to operate such a small screen?
As a result, the operation mode of this game is based on the sensor of the watch. However, I think it is still silly. After all, this kind of game is not suitable for playing on the watch, but it confirms one thing. The shell watch 2 supports the gyroscope and the gravity sensor.
In addition to the above application function experience, weather is a small problem. This is the charm of smart watches with operating systems. I believe you, if you play with this kind of smart watch with operating system, you will feel really interesting. Moreover, the price of the fruit shell watch is not too expensive. I have had some activities for a while, and the price has fallen to 1000 yuan!
Of course, the core function of the shell watch 2, which is also the most basic function, is the call reminder and message push. I tested the speed of message push. Almost at the same time as the mobile phone receives the message, the watch will remind you. But I mind. Except that the SMS is set as message push, other applications should not do any push, which will greatly reduce the standby time.
Although the message push speed of the shell watch 2 is relatively fast, there is a disadvantage, that is, I cannot reply to messages on the watch, which I feel and regret.
However, in terms of call reminder, it is still very good to reject the call directly on the watch, but I prefer to make calls directly on the watch and send and receive messages quickly! This may bring a lot of convenience to our life!
In fact, there is nothing to introduce about the mobile app of the shell watch. Basically, I have conducted in-depth introduction and experience evaluation on the in-depth experience of the shell watch 2 and the watch display screen. However, due to the comprehensiveness of the evaluation, I would like to talk about the mobile app! The shell watch assistant connects the shell very quickly, basically without the tedious connection process, and the app on the mobile phone only provides these function settings.
Although Fruit Shell Watch 2 supports the direct replacement of dials on watches, the downloading of dials still needs to be done through mobile phones. There are too many dials, and I will not take screenshots for you to demonstrate one by one. In a word, you will be "happy" to have many dials.
I have nothing to say about the message push function. After setting, the watch and the mobile phone almost receive messages at the same time, but the only disadvantage is that if multiple applications have set the push function, it will consume a lot of power.
The app installation is the same as that in the watch, but we can make it easier to install it on the mobile phone. After all, the watch screen is too small, and some operations can't be done easily.
(The process of installing the app is simple, just click it.)
There is nothing to introduce about the function of shell movement. It is the movement counting function that all smart watches have, but it is surprising that the sleep monitoring function has not been added.
In addition, as for the experience of mobile app, I feel that the app is very stable, there is no flash back phenomenon, and it is also very convenient to operate. All aspects of the functions of setting watches are clear at a glance.
Finally, let's talk about two situational experiences! The first one I think is a bit useful is analog calls, which can create fake calls to help you out! But you must also install this software on your phone! What surprised me most was that this call rescue not only simulated the call, but also had a conversation after answering it! It's really Housailei!
The other is the picture I took outdoors. The scene test in this respect is to test the display effect of the watch in the outdoor. The performance of the watch in the outdoor is good, very satisfied, and all the pictures can be seen clearly, which also shows that the watch can be used in the outdoor.
Product advantages:
1. The standby and endurance are good, basically killing similar products.
2. Unique appearance.
3. Built in GEAK Watch OS (Android based deep customization)
4. TF display screen, which can switch between electronic ink screen and color screen at will
Product disadvantages:
1. The workmanship needs improving. I found traces of glue near the charging interface.
2. The surface is slightly thick, and the sense of existence is somewhat obvious.
3. The practical watch is seldom used, and I hope it will continue to be updated in the future.
4. The watch does not support SMS reply and sleep monitoring.
On the whole, I feel that the experience of Fruit Shell Watch 2 is fairly good. I think it should be the credit of GEAK Watch OS! For a qualified smart watch, the first and most important thing is its system, but GEAK Watch OS has a long way to go, but in the domestic smart watch operating system, it is already a very good operating system. I hope its subsequent updates can make GEAK Watch OS more outstanding. And the excellent battery life can make the shell watch more practical. You should know that all the color screen smart watches with built-in operating systems currently have only 1-2 days of battery life! So let's sum up our views on the shell watch 2 in one sentence! There are many advantages, and the system experience is good, but the market demand is not so obvious, so we still need to continue to work hard to achieve the first place in functions and applications in China!
