Unpacking
Thanks to the support of 1016 netizens on WeChat and the trust of Lei Feng and Tuman Technology, the author has the opportunity to experience and evaluate this distinctive smart watch.
Xiao Didi won the experience qualification with 1016 WeChat votes
The outer package of SF Express can only be evaluated as "average".
The inner box is tightly wrapped with a layer of plastic foam.
The inner packing box of the Tuman watch is 300 × 70 × 40mm rectangular shape, and the main color is white. The front is a high-definition picture of the Tuman watch. The round red sticker "Lei Feng Trial" is pasted on one end of the box, which is very eye-catching.
The two sides of the box are printed with "Tuman Smart Watch" in English.
On the back of the box is a long label with several Chinese and English words "TUMAN T-RPPLE Smart Watch" above it. Then came the packing list CPU、 Bluetooth and other technical parameters, battery life, etc. The following is the manufacturer's information, address, zip code, place of origin and customer service hotline. On the right is the color and barcode of the Tuman table.
At both ends of the box are the logos of the Tuman table.
The cuboid box was opened up and down, but it took a lot of effort to open it. It seems more convenient to open two crescent shaped notches on the side. When I opened the box, the first thing I saw was the beautifully printed instructions. The length and width of the manual are basically the same as the size of the box, and the front and back sides are color printed. The first two are QR code icons for Android client and ios client to download APP. The name of APP is "Express", which is very imaginative. The instructions are creative, but the content is simpler. I felt that many aspects of the instructions for the following operations were not explained clearly.
The manual is beautifully printed and creative.
There is also a sheet of paper the same size as the manual in the box, which is also printed on both sides. Contents: product after-sales service guarantee, certificate of conformity, manufacturer information, return and replacement registration form, etc.
The Tuman watch lies in the groove in the box and is well protected.
Abrasive grooves are made of high-quality sponge and hard paper.
There were two layers in the box. The charging base and charging cable are respectively placed in the two grooves on the second layer. This packaging arrangement not only protects the product safety well, but also saves space, which is very creative.
The charging base and cable are black.
The charging cable is a regular Micro USB interface.

There is a Micro USB interface on the side of the charging stand.
Let's take a look at the main character Tuman watch in this evaluation. When I first saw it when I opened the box, I could not overemphasize the words "amazing" and "falling in love at first sight".
Tuman watches are available in jazz black and dream silver. The author tried the dreamy silver color.
Tuman watch is round in design, and the strap is made of needle grain leather in retro style, with two colors of black and light yellow. The fuselage is made of 316L stainless steel, which provides an additional guarantee for the daily protection of the fuselage. At least, there is no need to worry about rust. The bulge around the dial can play a good role in protecting the screen.
The thickness of the body is 12.8mm and the diameter of the screen is 44mm, which is a relatively high proportion of screens. It is also a relatively breakthrough size in smart watches. The Tuman watch maximizes the use of screens.
The screen adopts 1.39 inch 400 * 400 ultra clear resolution, which may be the highest resolution in current smart watches. The dial glass adopts special coating treatment, which improves the light transmittance and fingerprint resistance.
The front of the Tuman watch.
The back of the Tuman watch.
All cow leather vintage British style needle pattern watchband, better waterproof. The watchband has 10 equally spaced holes, which is convenient for people with different wrist sizes to wear.
The back of the watch has a detachable panel design. In terms of function, it is equipped with a heart rate monitoring sensor (black area in the middle), a speaker (small hole part) and a charging metal contact. In addition, the round case is surrounded by a circle of English, including T-RIPPLE, 316L STAINLESS STEEL, and waterproof. Letters and numbers such as Tomoon and 384401 can be clearly seen on the back of the strap.
There is a button at two o'clock on the side of the Tuman watch, on which the Tuman logo is carved. There is a small hole beside the button, which is a microphone.
The button on the side of the watch lights up or turns off the screen after a short press, and can be used to restart or shut down after a long press for a few seconds, which is similar to the function of the phone power key.
Family portraits
In a word, the overall feeling of the Tuman watch is that it is classic with retro style and stable with arrogance. It is a smart watch with high face value and makes people fall in love at first sight.
on trial
Some preparatory work must be done well before the trial, which is the experience summarized by the author through participating in the trial experience of various products for many times.
First, read the instructions carefully (although the product instructions are very simple); Second, charging products; The third is to download the client APP (if any).
1. Charge the Tuman meter
The Tuman watch adopts the magnetic charging mode, and its charging base is equipped with a small magnet. Since the watch case is metal, when the watch is close to the charging base, it will attract and buckle together. In addition, when designing the charging base, a groove has been left on the side. As long as the button of the meter is put into the groove, the charging contact of the meter will be aligned with the corresponding contact of the base.
Charge the Tuman meter
There is no charging adapter in the standard configuration of the Tuman meter. The author uses 360 charging bank to charge the Tuman meter.
When the power of the Tuman meter is zero, plug in the charger, and the above picture appears on the dial: three red, blue and green dots evolve from the ambiguous battery. They spin while autobiographical, and expand into thousands of colorful dots. It seems that they suddenly enter the vast and boundless space, beautiful and magical. Colorful dots spread to gradually concentrate, and finally became the LOGO of the Tuman table. This group of animation design is so magnificent that the author cannot help but praise the designer. If it can be matched with a piece of music, the effect may be better.
It takes about 2.5~3 hours from zero to 100% full charge, which is a little longer.
2. Download mobile client APP "Expression"
There are several ways to download "Expression", the simplest of which is to scan the two-dimensional code on the random instruction manual. Select the QR code corresponding to Android or ios according to your mobile operating system. Since I use an iPhone 6 plus phone, I choose the QR code corresponding to the iOS system (See the red circle above) 。
Scan the QR code, and the Tumen official website download page appears on the mobile phone. Follow the prompts on the page to download, install, and register step by step.
After successful download and installation, the "Expression" icon appears on the mobile phone desktop (see the red circle above). Although the download and installation of the "expression" are successful, the normal use requires multi-step settings.
Because the mobile phone I use is the IOS system, it is troublesome to download, install, register and use. Android is much simpler.
Follow the prompts on the phone page to complete the registration and bind the device.
The following author opens "Expression" in turn to understand its content and application:
Click the "Expression" client on the mobile phone desktop, and the page will prompt "Binding device". Follow the page prompts to scan the QR code that appears on the dial of the Tuman meter.
Scan the QR code on the Tuman dial to bind the watch to the mobile phone.
After the phone is successfully bound to the watch, the "Binding Success" interface appears in "Expression".
Click the "Click to enter" in the above middle figure, and the main menu of watch settings in the above right figure will appear. The main menu displays 12 modules, including switch dial, work memo, my recording, synchronization settings, pedometer, my heart rate, player, alarm clock reminder, timing shutdown, retrieving the watch, firmware upgrade, and watch settings. Here, the author will not open the secondary menu one by one, and will leave it for the evaluation below to experience in detail.
Let's continue to understand the rest of "Express" APP:

"Discovery" secondary menu page

"My" secondary menu page
3. Switch dial
One of the characteristics of Tuman watch is the diversity of dial styles, which can meet the different preferences of different people. There are 18 kinds of dials available now (see the figure below), and there are two ways to select them. One is to operate in the APP "Expression", and the other is to operate directly on the Tuman table. The author believes that it is simpler and more convenient to operate directly on the Tuman table. As long as the Tuman meter displays the dial, press it for a long time, and then slide left and right. The small dial appears first, which one you like. Click it to change it into a large dial. The dial is replaced successfully.

In the process of shooting and switching the dial, the author used different colors of the intelligent light to make the Tuman watch colorful and more beautiful. The personalized dial allows us to cope with different life scenes and control various temperaments.
4. Tom OS System Introduction
The Tuman watch is equipped with Tom OS system independently developed. Six scene modes and four interfaces are innovatively introduced in the watch function. Six scenarios are used to summarize the common needs of users, including health scenarios, expression scenarios, going out scenarios, work scenarios, entertainment scenarios, and financial scenarios. The four interfaces include the common settings and reminders of the watch, namely the dial switch interface, the setting interface, the App interface, and the notification interface. Each interface completes the definition and display of the watch functions. Let's first experience the contents of the four interfaces and how to operate them.

about
Six scenes experience:
The most important part is naturally the six scene functions (health, expression, going out, work, entertainment, and finance) of the Tuman watch. Each interface has its own settings.
1. [Health Scene]
Operation: Slide the screen up to enter the health scene
The health scene includes step counting, rhythm measurement, and long sitting reminder functions. Click the color circle range to enter the corresponding item.
Step counting
Measuring heart rhythm
The middle sensor on the back of the meter emits green light when measuring the heart rhythm.
Reminder of long sitting
Many scenes interact with "Expression" APP. For example, the step counting and heart rate detection of the health scene are related to "expression" and recorded in the relevant interface. "Step counting" participates in "Friends Ranking" or "World Ranking". One day, the author ranked 19th in the world ranking with 1611 steps. Of course, there is still too little "soil powder".

2. [Expression Scene]
Operation: In scene mode, slide the screen left and right to switch to the "Expression" scene
The expression scene is mainly in cooperation with the ecological circle of the "Expression" APP. You can directly communicate with your friends and close friends through the watch end, check the latest news of the expression circle ranking list, participate in the discussion of "daily topics", and take photos, select beautiful photos from local albums or expose videos to the "Expression Circle". In short, the expression circle is similar to the WeChat friend circle, except that the members are all registered in "expression", and the number is small, which is different from the WeChat members.

4、 Summary
The Tumen T-Ripple smart watch is designed with a circular color screen, AMOLED screen, resolution up to 400 * 400. Functions are automatically differentiated by different scenes such as work, entertainment, health, going out, expression, finance, etc. In combination with the "Express" APP, you can answer the phone, view mobile phone information, two-way anti lose mobile phone watch, control mobile phone photography, voice navigation, etc. Its highlights include:
1. The only product with social attributes. The watch, combined with "Expression" APP, is the only product with social attributes in the field of intelligent hardware at present;
2. Beautiful appearance and high appearance. Users can change 18 types of dials according to their own preferences, which is simple and easy to operate;
3. Ingenious design and novel concept. The new concept of scene design avoids the accumulation of design functions. The work scene, entertainment scene, health scene, going out scene, expression scene, financial scene and other new ideas;
4. Two way anti loss, mobile phones and watches are safe. Watches and mobile phones are two-way anti loss, two-way data backup, safe and more assured.
After more than 10 days of trial experience, the author found some unsatisfactory aspects:
1. The charging time is relatively long (2.5~3 hours from zero to full charge), and the battery life is short (only one day);
2. The manual is too simple, which affects the quick start and correct use;
3. Bluetooth connection is unstable and often loses connection;
4. Distortion of the voice when making a call (including answering a call) (without experiencing the effect of listening to music, it is estimated that the voice will not sound good); It is recommended to add a headphone jack and use headphones, which can not only protect privacy, but also prevent awkward calls in public places.
5. The screen saver interval is too short and cannot be adjusted. For the purpose of writing the evaluation article of this project, the author took photos of the Tuman watch. Focusing is required for both camera and mobile phone, and even auto focusing takes a certain time. When the author took a picture, the watch went black before the auto focus was completed. It took a long time to finish the film. It is suggested that the duration of black screen can be adjusted in "Expression" APP.
6. The packing box is difficult to open. It is recommended to open a mouth on the lower edge of the upper box (box cover) for two months (one on each side).
7. The name of the incoming call is not displayed on the watch, and there is a problem with the phone book synchronization.
8. "Work scene", "entertainment scene" and "expression scene" are few and need to be enriched (for iOS system).
9. Although the standard leather strap has good quality and high appearance, it is really uncomfortable to wear it in summer. After wearing it for a few days, the writer had herpes on his wrist. It is recommended to add a metal strap.
The shortcomings outweigh the merits. The Tuman watch is still worthy of being an innovative product with beautiful appearance, "powerful heart", consistent appearance and many highlights.
I wish Tuman Technology, under the leadership of Wang Wei, the founder and CEO, will soon become a smart device brand that is deeply loved by consumers and has broad international influence. I wish Tuman Science and Technology to make further progress!
