How many steps can I take to drink water? GYENNO smart cup
I used to be troubled by getting angry and often couldn't remember to drink water. At the end of last year, I had the honor to experience a smart water cup, just like a gentle girlfriend always reminds you to drink water. But this smart water cup is too reliant on mobile phones and needs to be equipped with batteries. Now the power has been used up, and it is only used as an ordinary water cup.
Now intelligent life is going on very fast. More and more manufacturers have added intelligent modules to the items they see in their daily life, but they have done very little with their heart, making products similar to each other.
Today, let's discuss the smart cup market half a year later and see if there is any progress.
Today's protagonist is GYENNO Smart Water Cup. I don't know how to pronounce this name, but it should be a Chinese name, which is easy to remember and promote. Since the product does not have a Chinese name, let's talk about their company, called Zhenluo Branch Technology.
The overall outer package is white, without redundant fancy design, which fits the company's positioning in the health care field. There is only a green G logo on the front and GYENNO lettering on the other side.
When opening the outer package, there are three small packages inside, as well as a manual and product introduction. The several small packages inside are tightly plugged, which are not easy to pull out.
Each individual package is printed with product photos, which can be easily identified, including water cup, cup cover, magnetic charging wire.
The appearance of Gyenno intelligent water cup is cuboid, and there is a layer of highlight on the milky white shell, which looks very round, shiny and beautiful. It looks like a piece of art on the table, but it is too easy to get fingerprints, and it can't be seen without facing the light.
The most striking thing on the front of the water cup is the screen. The screen size is 2.7 inches. The Sharp memory LCD screen is used, and the font is white. Unfortunately, the reverse color cannot be set.
The screen can display the weather, calendar, time and power. It is connected to the smartphone through Bluetooth for data synchronization. In addition, the screen is not touchable. You need to touch the cup body with your hand to display other contents.
As an intelligent water cup, gyenno has high-precision sensors (acceleration, angular velocity, geomagnetism, temperature, weight sensors).
Through these sensors, when touching and using the water cup, the corresponding data changes and contents will be displayed.
The capacity of Gyenno intelligent water cup is 350ml, and the daily drinking goal is 2000ml, which means that you need to drink about 6 cups of water with Gyenno. For unknown reasons, the screen prompts how many cups to drink every day is not fixed, but the drinking goal has not changed.
The water cup is about 17 cm high, two cm longer than the 5.5 inch mobile phone. The intelligent module is concentrated at the bottom of the cup, and the center of gravity of the whole cup is lower. I usually hold the cup when drinking water, but I usually hold it when playing. The edge arc is not enough, and the grip is not good.
The mouth of the cup is about 8 cm, and the size from the bottom to the mouth of the cup has slightly increased. Personally, I suggest that the height of the cup should be reduced by 2 cm, the mouth of the cup should be enlarged, and the edge radian should be increased. This can also reduce the chance of accidentally touching the cup in life and work, and also increase the hand feel and appearance precision.
The cup liner uses an antibacterial material with a cement color. This material can effectively inhibit common bacteria. In short, it makes you drink water more safely.
At the beginning of opening the package, there was a pungent smell inside. After investigation, it turned out that it was caused by the pollution of the inner package of the water cup, which should be a serious problem that the manufacturer ignored. After everyone got there, no one would carefully check the cause, so they thought it was the problem of the water cup.
In addition to the front screen, there is only a prominent area on the back of the Gyenno cup, the magnetic charging port.
There is a label film in this area to indicate the charging direction. Generally, people will tear it off after they buy it, and they can't remember it after a long time. The manufacturer should directly print or engrave it on the cup body.
The cup lid and the magnetic charging wire are both white. The appearance of the magnetic charging wire on the cup lid will be discussed later, which shows that this smart water cup is equipped with a built-in battery and can be recharged circularly. Compared with the installation of the battery, it is much easier and cheaper.
The magnetic charging head can be pressed with a beep beep sound. At first, I thought it was a switch, but later I found it didn't work. It should have been sealed and pasted properly.
There is also a magnetic charging wire on hand. This is on the smart bracelet. The magnetic charging wire on the bracelet is better. There is also a magnet on the bracelet. If the direction is wrong, it will automatically repel. Only when the direction is right, it will automatically absorb and charge.
The gyenno water cup, though the convex part is blocked, cannot be fully adsorbed on it in the opposite direction. In contrast, I prefer the design on the bracelet.
The following part is going to make a comparison with the smart cup products half a year ago, and take a look at the evolution of the smart cup market.
In terms of appearance, the gyenno water cup is higher than the wheat water cup. The straight and crooked appearance of the gyenno water cup is really beautiful. In contrast, the gyenno water cup is more like a tough guy, and the wheat water cup is more like a princess. I prefer the wheat water cup in terms of grip and sense, so the gyenno mentioned in the previous article is too thin and too high.
Speaking of the cup lid, the cup lid shape design of the two products is almost the same, except that there are two small bulges on the top of the Makkai cup lid. In terms of weight, GYENNO's cup lid is significantly heavier, which has a solid feeling. McKay's cup lid is light if there is nothing, and it is hollow when you pick it up, which is true when you shine with light.
Gyenno's cup lid has a magnetic suction inside, which can be automatically attached to the water cup. This is great. The lid of Makkai's cup has the feeling of chicken ribs, and its only use is to open the bottom lid of the cup.
In terms of the bottom, gyenno is much better than the wheat. The whole bottom is sealed, and the water on the mouth usually does not affect. The bottom seal of Mackay is not good because it can be opened to replace the battery. In fact, it is easy to get water.
In terms of intelligent display, Makah can only rely on the LED light on the side of the cup body to show the water temperature, but in the smart cup market half a year ago, as a pioneer, it was very good to be able to do this.
Half a year later, the gyenno water cup has made a lot of progress. A display screen is directly integrated on the side, which can make you feel more intuitive and clear.
Today's smart devices are always inseparable from mobile apps. There are many smart devices at home. The mobile phone is full of all kinds of apps. I am dazzled when I see it. In fact, I really use very few.
Now these devices have a lot of confusion. Obviously, they don't have remote control function, so we have to let you register an account. The most satisfying set of intelligent devices is to bind WeChat public accounts, control through WeChat, and don't download apps. You can see that this is convenient, and you can always note the status of public accounts.
Gyenno also needs to download apps and register accounts. Next, he needs to find the Bluetooth bound water cup. The whole process is very smooth.
Then it needs to go through some settings, such as drinking water reminder, water temperature reminder, etc.
As mentioned in the previous article, the screen on the water cup can display time, weather and other data, which is also synchronized through the app. You don't need to turn on your phone to watch the time and weather. It's convenient to pick up the water cup to watch.
It would be better if you could also prompt for incoming calls and letters. Why not make good use of such a large screen.
After the app is set up, I seldom open it again. Most of the time, I can just look at the screen on the cup.
I've just boiled a pot of water. I'm in the Shandong Plain. The water temperature can definitely reach 100 degrees. But the performance of the water cup disappointed me. It only showed 85 degrees Celsius.
At this time, if you pick up the water cup, the screen will prompt that the temperature is too high for drinking, and the light strip at the bottom will display a red warning light.
When the water temperature reaches the drinking temperature set in the app, the cup will display moderate temperature and yellow light.
When the blue light is displayed, the water temperature is too low to drink.
I found a problem in the use. The data transmission between the cup and the app is not real-time. Like the Mack cup I used before, it can transmit data in real time, and display as much as you drink.
Not only is there a problem with the data transmission between Gyenno and the app, but there is also a problem with the screen display on the water cup. When the water is switched back and forth between two water cups, the screen of the water cup still shows how much more water to drink, and the value remains unchanged. Normally, there are so many sensors on the Gyenno water cup, which will not cause this problem. The manufacturer should upgrade and adjust it.
Finally, let's talk about this app. It's too messy. It should be accessible to both GYENNO watches and hand cups. It can link data from multiple devices.
However, I only have a water cup at present. There are too many data parameters on the app that I can't use at all, and it is troublesome to use. It is recommended that the manufacturer separate an app based on a separate product.
epilogue
On the whole, there is a lot of noise about gyenno, but it is undeniable that this smart cup is really a very good product. Every new product will always have to go through multiple tests in the market before the next generation of more perfect new products will appear.
Now the overall hardware equipment of gyenno is very perfect, and more needs to be done in the future is the software data adjustment. Now I can only give 70 points. After the software upgrade and adjustment, this cup can reach 90 points, leaving a very incentive to improve.
