Today, smart wearable devices are becoming more and more popular, and technology companies want a piece of the cake. With a strong brand effect, Apple WATCH has come from behind to become a giant in smart watches. Users are also familiar with MOTO 360, Huawei WATCH Gear watch, etc. The smart watch combines the watch and smart interaction, and enables users to experience the convenience brought by technology on their wrists with the help of mobile phones. At present, the more famous OS of smart watches is not only Apple's watch OS, but also Google's Android wear OS. The smart watch inWatch T in this experience is equipped with Tencent OS, which is launched by Tencent. Two Tencent instant chat tools, WeChat and QQ, are built-in, so that users will not miss WeChat and QQ messages after connecting their mobile phones.

Look at the design

When opening the package, inWtach brings many surprises. The spherical inner package, like a magic ball, maintains a sense of mystery and full of sense of technology.

There is also a gold inWatch logo on the surface of the inner package, which makes the whole package full.

All components, inWatch T， The charging station, data cable and instructions follow the simple route. The whole watch and its package are highlighting Tencent OS. I don't know what experience this system will bring.

Like many smart watches, inWatch T uses a round dial design, which continues the original design of the watch. At present, inWatch T provides two versions, black and silver. I experience the black version, which has a strong business atmosphere and is resistant to dirt, so I don't need to protect it when I use it. The shell is made of stainless steel, and the tough metal texture is more in line with the public's aesthetic.

The dial of inWatch T is a 1.4 inch AMOLED screen. The concave design of the dial is convenient for users to paste film to protect the screen. With 400 × 400px resolution and 286ppi pixel density, it has a more amazing display effect on the 1.4 inch screen, but the overall dial is larger. For a delicate girl, the inWatch T is a little larger. However, a watch designed by inWatch Her for girls is also available.

The back of the watch continues the style of the front. The heart rate test sensor is in the middle of the watch. The electric shock charging is not magnetic. It is inconvenient to charge. Even with the charging base, although it has a certain waterproof function, it is not difficult to see from the four screws on the back of the watch that the inWatch T can only make life waterproof, so it is easy not to put the watch where it can reach water.

There is only one physical key on the side of inWatch T, through which different functions can be realized, including switch on, lock screen, unlock, return, etc.

The two ends connected to the watch strap are the microphone and speaker. After connecting the mobile phone, you can answer the phone. This is very convenient in sports or driving. Direct prompt and direct response are convenient and fast.

The inWatch T uses the Milanese metal mesh belt. The advantage is that the metal strap is bent at will. The design of the metal strap brings high-end temperament, but it is uncomfortable to wear. Especially now, there are many activities in the office, such as organizing documents and operating computers. These activities require a lot of low hand wrist lifting. The impact and wear of the metal strap on the wrist joint is relatively obvious.

The inWatch T is equipped with a 1.2GHz dual core processor, 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM, which provide the hardware foundation for the smooth operation of the watch. In addition to the Tencent OS, the smoothness of the watch during use is good, and small games can be easily handled.

Talk about Tencent OS

The convenience of the system is Tencent OS, which is highly promoted by inWatch. Tencent's operating system, which is specially developed for intelligent wearable devices, currently supports Android 4.1 and above systems, while iOS systems are not supported for the time being. The connection mode is relatively simple. The 4.0 Bluetooth technology is used for connection. After the mobile terminal downloads the client, the mobile phone can control the watch. The biggest highlight of Tencent OS is that the watch can be used for voice reply on WeChat.

The first step is to scan the code to associate the watch. WeChat or QQ is required for mobile app registration, which is also to facilitate receiving WeChat and QQ messages. However, when scanning the code for association, the QR code looks a bit vague. I scanned it with my mobile phone for half a day before I successfully identified it.

The function display of App is very direct. The three sub interfaces are used for watch management, dial download and application download, and the functions are also relatively direct.

As a watch, the basic functions of step counting and heart rate measurement cannot be omitted. Where is the data? My watch has a health data center. However, inWatch T does not support real-time heart rate at present, so if you want to measure it, you need to wait for a while. At the same time, the biggest convenience of connecting the watch to the mobile phone is notification. In addition to the prompts provided by the watch, you can also customize settings, I set the clock and Baidu map. It's useful to set it here first. At the same time, the watch firmware can also be upgraded through the mobile phone app. This function is also available for other watches, and will not be described here in detail. However, too many messages are pushed, and the power consumption of the watch will be very fast. Therefore, it is recommended that if you purchase inWatch T, you notify it selectively, and do not give all prompts. There is no sense in giving spam prompts.

There are many choices in the watch dial market, but the dial does not support customization, which is a pity. At present, there is less support for the application. One of my favorite applications is Tomato Clock, which takes 25 minutes to manage my time reasonably.

Play inWatch T

The inWatch T charging is not very convenient, which I don't like very much. When the charging base is connected to the watch, there is a plastic snap, so when you place and take the watch, you still need to break the snap of the base, and the charging experience is poor.

Press the watch screen hard to switch the dial, which is more convenient to replace, and the dial is downloaded through the mobile phone App.

The inWatch T pull-down menu is a quick setting, which displays the power of the watch, adjusts the brightness of the watch, and notifies Do Not Disturb. It is convenient to operate. However, in the setting, the brightness of the watch has five modes, while the brightness displayed in the pull-down menu can only be adjusted in three gears, high, low, and high. The display adjustment is somewhat inconvenient. The slide up menu is a quick voice assistant, and it also has related notification information. Next, we will introduce the WeChat QQ message prompt Yes, and will describe the function of the slide up menu in detail.

The built-in applications in the main interface include QQ, WeChat, pedometer, heart rate test, etc. The applications can also pass End addition is still the same problem. When there are many applications, the endurance will be reduced. So you can choose to use it yourself to ensure that the watch is still working before work.

As an intelligent wearable device operating system, Tencent OS also has its own voice assistant, Xiaojing, The logo of Tencent OS is also like a small whale. It frees its hands and is assisted by a voice assistant. At present, most of the functions of the watch can be realized through the voice assistant, and the accuracy of voice recognition is high.

Tencent OS, as produced by Tencent, has the most outstanding feature of voice reply to WeChat and QQ messages. This feature is great, but at present, only personal message prompts can be seen, and it is text or built-in emoji expression prompts. It is impossible to use inWatch T map. At the same time, message push can be viewed directly or through the slide up menu. Click WeChat or QQ application on the main interface to realize the latest contact. However, at present, WeChat and QQ do not support self selecting friends to send voice messages. Friends can only be displayed in WeChat or QQ if there is a relevant prompt on the watch after a friend sends a message.

Step number recording is also one of the basic functions of intelligent wearable devices. InWatch T's step number recording is relatively accurate, and it also supports the viewing of historical data, so as to maintain a good lifestyle and more healthy walking.

The inWatch T's heart rate measurement uses a photoelectric sensor, which can measure the heart rate in a short time, but the test data is relatively rough and can only reflect roughly. However, in the experience, the inWatch T's heart rate test experience is very poor. I can't carry out heart rate test if I wear it correctly, and the single test time is long.

See the wearing effect. The basic experience here is almost enough. Of course, there are watch games that can be played. I will not introduce them carefully here. Next, let's see how I play sports.

First, prepare a mobile app that can navigate, such as Baidu Maps. I like to use Baidu Maps. In the previous mobile app message notification settings, I checked Baidu Maps, so that Baidu Maps' prompts can be fed back smoothly through the watch. The other one is the watch App - Tomato Clock, which has a tomato every 25 minutes, There will be a 5-minute prompt after the completion. In addition, the photo app should also be installed. These three apps are the only ones you can play.

During the May Day holiday, I wore inWatch T to ride around Taihu Lake alone. The first day when Shanghai arrived in Huzhou, there were many paths in the middle, and Baidu Navigation was needed to guide the way in real time. In order not to delay the journey during the ride, and for safety, I opened Baidu Navigation in the mobile phone app. All the way, my watch prompted, my wrist raised, and voice prompted. The first day of riding was smooth. (The wrist lift display needs to be optimized. The wrist is lifted gently and measured. The watch is recharged several times during the first day's rest.) The next day, it was nearly ten o'clock. In order to catch the road, the riding speed was improved. At the same time, due to the good route, there was less navigation demand along the provincial and national roads. The planned journey was 200km. Tomato clocks were used, with a five minute rest every 25 minutes, In such a day, we can ride 200 km. On the third day, I cycled back to Shanghai and used the tomato clock and message prompts for many times. During this time, I also used my watch to take photos. What I want to say here is that the inWatch T is a metal watch strap, which is positioned for business. I just have a taste here. During the exercise, the metal watch strap has a great impact on the wrist joint. If you often exercise, you should not wear the inWatch T during the exercise.

Leave some photos around the lake.

summary

In the experience, inWatch T has an excellent overall performance, but the wrist lift display is too sensitive, which is also an optimization problem. At the same time, the battery life of the watch is poor, which needs further improvement; Voice replies to QQ and WeChat messages, plus Xiaojing's voice assistant, give inWatch T a lot of points; Heart rate testing problems continue, coupled with less application, which makes me feel very sorry; InWatch and Tencent OS have just started, and they are deeply connected with the two social applications of QQ WeChat, which makes the prospects of inWatch and Tencent OS unlimited and makes users have expectations.
