[Preface]

With the popularization of smart phones, various smart devices have sprung up, especially smart bracelets / There are many kinds of watches and their functions have their own advantages. Among them, the entry-level smart bracelet represented by the Xiaomi bracelet has made a great achievement. However, with the mass production of smart chips, smart watches with more functions have gradually replaced the bracelet without a display screen, and more accurate data gives users a deeper experience. Today, let's take a look at a smart bracelet with excellent endurance - Weile Now2 。

Appearance

Weile Now2 uses a very simple white translucent packaging. Because Weile once claimed to spend all its costs on product design and quality, the packaging is somewhat "shabby". In fact, this is beneficial to consumers. Why should we pay for the expensive packaging boxes.

The back of the package is printed with the basic functions of the product, including activity recording, touch operation, call reminder, message viewing, heart rate monitoring and 3ATM waterproof, which are very comprehensive. There is also information about the product's adaptable models and systems, QR codes and other relevant information printed below.

Pulling open the outer plastic transparent shell, we can see that Weile Now2 is fixed in the black box, integrated with the inner packaging, and full of science and technology.

In addition to the main body of Weile Now2, the product is also equipped with a charging base and a data cable.

The overall design of Now2 is small and exquisite. The all black system not only brings a full sense of technology and sports, but also makes it easy to match clothes. The edge of the rectangular dial has been processed very roundly, and there is no stiff feeling.

In terms of wrist strap, Now 2 uses TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber) material, which has excellent flexibility and elasticity. The inner side of the wrist strap also has a sweat channel design, which can prevent sweltering to some extent in summer.

On the one hand, the design of the metal watch buckle can prevent the wearer from falling off easily, and on the other hand, it reflects the delicacy and taste of the product.

The back of Now2 is a photoelectric heart rate monitoring sensor, and there will be green light flashing during detection. The following four metal contacts are charging interfaces, which need to be placed on the base for fixed charging.

Now2 uses a resolution of 128 * 32 to put into the 0.91-inch OLED screen. Press and hold for three seconds to light up the screen. You can see the time, date, week, Bluetooth connection status and other main information. Next, weather information will be added. It should be noted that the display of the screen is integrated with the backlight. Every time you look at the screen, regardless of the light, you need to light it up first. I feel that this design is somewhat unreasonable and not as convenient as some ordinary electronic watches.

Another thing that makes the author feel helpless is that the screen of Now2 is completely invisible in the sun, which greatly limits the use of outdoors. The specific effect is as shown in the figure above. Do you think I didn't light up the screen? In fact, this is the status of the screen.

The charging mode of Now2 is slightly different from that of most bracelets/watches. On the basis of magnetic charging, the charging base is fixed to prevent the magnet from falling off, which is very user-friendly.

Now 2 adopts the ATM waterproof standard of the watch industry, rather than the IPXX waterproof standard of the electronic product industry, which is relatively more stringent. So now 2 can meet the 30 meter waterproof standard, and you don't have to worry about water ingress when you use it in swimming.

Use

Main interface of bracelet

In addition to the clock, there is also the power display of the bracelet, search the phone, and do not disturb mode. The power display has no percentage, which is inconvenient; Click to search the phone and the phone ring will ring; When Do Not Disturb mode is turned on, the vibration reminder will be turned off.

  Heart rate detection

Heart rate detection includes automatic detection and manual detection. Now 2 will automatically monitor once every hour. In addition, you can also manually open the function of testing heart rate.

On the APP side, we can not only display real-time heart rate detection, but also detect our heart rate changes all day long, forming a curve chart that can be directly reflected in the APP. We can also view the historical situation records in seven days, the daily situation of various heart rate ranges, and reflect our health in a timely manner, so that we can easily understand our physical conditions in a timely manner and scientifically arrange sports.

  Motion monitoring

The bracelet shows steps, heat consumption and kilometers, which is comprehensive and practical.

The APP can also display the number of steps, heat consumption, kilometers of exercise and the number of days to reach the goal set by time segment. It is worth mentioning that, Now 2 Calories can be accurately calculated according to different movements. The author tested them by walking and jogging with synchronized numbers. The heat consumption showed that jogging was more than walking.

  Sleep tracking

Sleep data is not displayed on the bracelet, and it does not need to set its own sleep period. It can automatically detect, record and analyze sleep. The author speculates that its automatic sleep should be based on heart rate detection to determine whether it falls asleep or not, and motion detection to determine the amplitude and frequency of body turning during sleep, so as to get the light sleep, deep sleep and awake state. The APP can also record the periodic data of sleep, including waking time, light sleep time, deep sleep time and daily average sleep time.

  Caller message reminder

As an intelligent bracelet, Now 2 also has social functions such as call reminder, identification and interception, and information push. It supports the display of WeChat, Weibo, QQ and other information reminders. The sense of vibration is very strong, which makes people feel uncomfortable. It is recommended to slow down the sense of vibration.

The type of information reminder can be set freely on the APP side, which is very convenient. It is commendable that the call identification and interception functions are very powerful, mainly for iPhone users who do not have a call firewall. Now2 uses the iPhone's message push protocol, combined with app online query, to achieve the function of intercepting bad and unfamiliar calls. The call firewall is implemented from the bracelet call reminder end. At present, it is still in the internal testing stage, only reminding, not intercepting.

  Alarm clock and schedule

Now 2 can also set an alarm clock and schedule. It can automatically synchronize the notes and schedule in the phone calendar to Now 2. When the reminder time is reached, it will synchronize with the phone and display text content.

  summary

advantage:

1. The overall appearance is exquisite and fashionable, and the wrist strap is comfortable to wear.

2. Heart rate detection, motion recording, sleep tracking, call reminder and interception, information push and other functions are very powerful;

3. Super long endurance, daily use can be standby for 2 weeks;

4. It is waterproof at 30m and can be used in swimming without fear of water ingress.

  Insufficient:

1. The flip wrist light screen is not very sensitive, and the waiting time for touch light screen is long;

2. The screen lights up for a short time, and sometimes it goes out before you can see it clearly;

3. The screen cannot be seen clearly in the sun;

4. The vibration feedback is too strong.

In general, Weile Now 2 is a smart product that not only meets the basic functions of the sports bracelet, but also has the special functions of the smart watch. The highlights of sports heart rate detection, call firewall, and so on are very prominent. At the same time, there are some slots. When the author finished the manuscript, Weile APP was still in the internal testing stage, and I believe that it will be improved in the official version.
