What types of wearables are users or consumers willing to accept in 2016 when wearables exploded? Is it focusing on the traditional and representing the mature style of wear to win, or is the type of watch that provides both sports data monitoring and push messages more popular? Or is it the sudden rise of bracelets specialized in collecting individual sports data?
IWOWN has experienced at least three generations of product changes from the first intelligent wearable bracelet i5 to the present intelligent heart rate bracelet i7. The only insistence is to always put the concept of intelligent wear first. Does this insistence have good user stickiness? Let's take a look

For me, there are no less than 5 types of smart watches and smart bracelets I have been exposed to, each of which has its own characteristics. However, they follow the practice of bracelet as bracelet and watch as watch, rather than mixing the two concepts together. Is the i7 smart heart rate bracelet like a bracelet? No, at least I don't think so. The dial, shape and strap are very different from ordinary bracelets and even heart rate bracelets, but it is still a bracelet.

Part 1、 Appearance

The shape of the Evi i7 bracelet is no different from that of the traditional wristwatch, at least it is similar to the type of sports watch in the appearance design. The whole machine is very simple. It is composed of a dial and a strap. The dial is a 2.5D super strong tempered glass dial, which is actually a glass dial. However, it is certainly taller than the traditional watch dial! This dial uses a low-power Memory display screen, which can be handled smoothly like a smart phone. Its material is not as fragile as glass. Generally, it is not easy to be scratched by foreign objects, but it needs to avoid direct contact with hard objects as much as possible.

The complete set of Evian i7 bracelet is very simple. It is featured by simple style, and it can't even find a button or switch. The machine it gets is black on the whole. The overall color is always used to make the bracelet more like a high-end wristwatch, and it will not be shabby to wear it when going out or in business occasions; Different from ordinary wristwatches, the dial is not only for the capacitive touch screen, but also for the heart rate collector and indicator at the bottom of the dial. Of course, the charging contact is also in this part.
It should be noted that the wrist strap of Evi i7 bracelet is made of rubber. The advantage is that it will not be too uncomfortable to wear like the leather wrist strap after sweating. The disadvantage is that it is easy to cause the sweat glands of the wrist to sweat when worn properly.

details

The design of the i7 smart heart rate bracelet is very good in details. For example, the metal buckle of the watch strap actually hides the letter "W" of the logo of "iwown"; It is also the part of the watchband. Because the watchband is designed in the way of gold smooth blunt buckle, it is obviously not convenient for individuals to operate with one hand when buckle the watchband, and it requires greater strength to press the metal blunt buckle into it.
The heart rate collector of the Evian i7 bracelet is at the bottom of the dial, close to the skin. However, because of its prominent design, you can't buckle the strap too tightly, otherwise... At least a square indentation will be formed on your wrist, and it will be uncomfortable to wear.

Part 2、 Packaging and accessories

The packaging of this heart rate bracelet is not complicated. It is also packaged according to the design of the same type of wrist watch's long box. When I received it, I thought who sent me a famous watch! There are not many accessories. In addition to the bracelet and the warranty card in the manual, it is just a charging data cable. The charging cable is also simple. It does not refer to the square body of the bracelet for the design of the base. The magnetic charging base is only half a finger size, so it is portable!

Part 3、 Charging and bracelet operation

At present, there is no difference in the charging mode of bracelets or smart watches on the market. They all use magnetic charging mode. The benefits are very simple. Convenience doesn't take up space. The magnetic charging base of the i7 smart heart rate bracelet is more powerful than similar products. Because of its small size, the magnetic charging base can be automatically attached to the metal contacts at the bottom of the bracelet for charging when it is used.

When experiencing other similar products, I seldom write about the touch screen operation of the dial, but the dial operation of the i7 is worth mentioning. The dial of the Evian i7 bracelet uses a capacitive touch screen, so in my imagination I thought it could be operated smoothly like a smartphone, but I was wrong.
It may be that the data collection and interaction in the smart bracelet are all carried out using the bound mobile phone, so the touch screen experience of similar products is also not good. Either the command cannot be completed when the screen is horizontally scratched or the dial does not move with the direction when the screen is vertically scratched, which I have encountered on intelligent wear with dials. Why did you mention the Evi i7 bracelet? Because its dial interaction is a little special, in addition to the common horizontal screen cutting and light touch confirmation, its instructions also include a vertical screen stroke for menu switching. To be honest, I'm not very used to it, and there are also some drawbacks of this interaction. After all, the success rate of horizontal screen cutting is still higher. On the one hand, vertical screen cutting needs to learn its operation again, and on the other hand, I still often confuse the two. Do you think it is helpless?

At present, the current situation of smart wear is inseparable from the mobile phone province, that is to say, APP is a hub between it and mobile phones. The intuitive data graph, all function switches and some suggestions on health exercise are all operated on the mobile phone with the bracelet, and the Evi i7 heart rate bracelet is no exception. Its customized APP follows the same simple style as the design of the bracelet, and the module classification is also simple but inclusive.

Part 4、 Mobile APP of i7

Ivy i7 Heart Rate Bracelet claims to be a health assistant, but it does not appear pale in function. From the perspective of customized APP, in addition to the functions that are supported on common bracelets such as sports data collection and long sitting reminder, there is also the function design of message push. For me, the push message function helps me a lot in many times, such as when I am in sports, such as when I am on the way to work, on the bus, or on a bad trip. When the noisy places may not be able to feel the reminders of phone calls and important information, this bracelet can help me not miss any important news.

The collection of motion data is a well deserved important function of this bracelet. Although its positioning is a light motion data collection, today's big data is so mature, it can also be regarded as a functional design that is more grounded. Some sports bracelets basically have them. Different plans are recommended for different people, so basically the app of the bracelet is created by users themselves.
What makes me remember is that I went out for a run in the morning of the days I just received, but after looking at it for a long time, the data it collected was only the data collected when walking. Then I searched for the category of running through the establishment of the exercise plan, but it didn't exist! No, I called it a depression... One day later, I found that it restricted the classification of running as a sport to real-time planning, rather than as a regular sport. Here! The GPS movement under APP classification can be found. Cycling, running and walking are available, and all the sports categories that can be thought of in the daily exercise plan can be found in the classification. However, I think why does such an ordinary sport not include running? It's hard to understand~

There are also daily functions such as sleep and alarm clock, and the weight data analysis provides proper exercise planning and diet suggestions for the use of weight loss plans; The key function of the Evi i7 heart rate bracelet is that it can monitor your heart rate in a planned way, so that your exercise is rational and purposeful. In addition, it also provides good exercise guidance for people who have weight loss exercise plans, which is one of the rare functions.
I have something to say about heart rate monitoring. I have been exposed to many bracelets, and basically all have heart rate data collection. As mentioned above, direct contact with the skin is one of the keys to its ability to accurately collect data. However, this heart rate bracelet does not use this function and optimize its functions more properly. It is more obvious that heart rate is just one of the selling points. In my opinion, the heart rate bracelet should look like a heart rate bracelet, Then the heart rate detection should not just be used as a gimmick. I will not discuss how to collect heart rate data for the moment. However, heart rate is one of the main functions of this bracelet, but... I didn't see anything more professional.

The i7 heart rate bracelet has several interesting things on the mobile phone APP. For example, in the upper right corner of the APP homepage, click on the record and you will find that there is a small thing in it besides the GPS movement classification - smart photography. What is it? At first, I didn't understand how to play it. The interface opened is as shown in the figure above. After playing it skillfully, I realized that Dongdong is a hub for mobile phone camera operation with a bracelet. However, I didn't understand what the purpose of this is, or that brain holes can't come to its use picture. But it's fun~

The second interesting thing of the Evi i7 heart rate bracelet comes from the settings. What are the functional categories under the discovery category? It turns out that this is also a data acquisition robot, which gives you some options to answer truthfully, and then gives you some planning directions in terms of sports based on big data analysis, including weight loss test, health, fitness, sleep, psychological test and many other categories. This form is refreshing to me for a while. Although I may not follow its recommendations in the future, it does have its unique side.

Part 5、 Some refreshing examples

I mentioned earlier that the smart shot function of the bracelet app does not have any applicable scenarios, but it does not prevent me from understanding how to play it. For example, when I use the smart shooting function on the runway, I can shoot the details of the scene through the bracelet+mobile app+mobile camera lens. At this time, I thought of its purpose. If the Evi7 heart rate bracelet is also added with the camera module in the future, the customization of this app will be useful.

It is not difficult to set exercise plans through mobile APP. It depends on whether the user's purpose is to lose weight or keep healthy, and whether he or she does some mild exercise planning or some planned heavy physical exercise depends on his or her personal needs.

The news push is one of the reasons why I have a sticky habit of using this sports bracelet and smart watch. Why? In addition to the convenience of observation time, qq、 WeChat and even the push of call notifications are things I care about. Although the vibration function and ringing tone of smart phones are quite good, it's normal that you can't detect them in complex environments.
In my opinion, the significance of smart wear is the push of news. I don't really care whether your sports data collection is professional and accurate, but I'm probably satisfied with one data. Besides, which smart phone today does not have the function of health data collection, and the collection of sports data such as running, walking and even mountain climbing is common. However, there are two aspects of message push that are more regrettable: first, when information intensive push, you will not know what is your important message or important call, and the classification of push messages is not detailed enough or cannot be set manually; Secondly, the original endurance of nearly three days will be halved because of the news push. Even I have seen that some smart wear has been added to the news push, and the endurance has been reduced by 60% or 70%.
The push classification of Evian i7 heart rate bracelet is pretty good, at least for incoming calls QQ、 The push of WeChat and even mobile SMS is separate. You can enable the push of messages of which application category you think is more important. For me, as long as my QQ can open the network to push at least tens of thousands of messages every day, there is really a chance to kill this bracelet; I prefer to only enable the push of SMS and phone calls, and WeChat can also be enabled sometimes.

I have been exposed to a lot of smart wear. There are special types of watches, high-end smart watches targeted for business people, and smart bracelets. The design of the Evi i7 Heart Rate bracelet from appearance design to function classification is very similar to the classification of smart watches, but it is really a smart bracelet. Why? You can see from its wrist strap. Although Apple Watch has opened the concept of "forced case", people who are really rich in watches actually care more about whether the strap is genuine leather. Don't use rubber or human like skin materials to tell me about forced cases. They don't really match!
Therefore, Evi i7 heart rate bracelet is obvious. It is a product with a square appearance but a sports bracelet heart. Its square dial deals with the wearing environment of users in daily life, its strap deals with the wearing comfort during exercise, and its APP is customized to light the hub of exercise data and heart rate collection. Don't think too much. It's just a bracelet~

Summary

People fight for a breath, and a tree grows its skin. Perhaps the Evian i7 smart heart rate bracelet has no obvious advantages for products with more abundant positioning. For example, its watchband is only made of cheap rubber material, and its appearance is not too tall. However, just like its positioning for itself, it is a sports bracelet that has done a good job as a health assistant before positioning its role as a smart watch, The two do not conflict.
The i7 smart heart rate bracelet is well planned in terms of sports planning and sports data collection. It also has some highlights, such as the smart shot function, such as accurate sports planning, and news push. More importantly, it at least temporarily refines the classification of news push. My important calls will never be missed again, and I don't need to struggle between endurance and missing calls, I just want it to be able to make a bracelet quietly and inform me not to miss any important calls at the same time, which is my focus in future use. If you have the same consideration as me, choose it! It will surprise you!
