The wearable intelligent device market is still in its early stage of development and has a very attractive prospect. However, at present, there is still no wearable intelligent device in the market for ordinary families. First, the product maturity is not enough, second, the user stickiness is not enough, and third, the product value has not yet met the needs of ordinary consumers. First time inWatch In Meizu MX4 At the end of the press conference, Meizu announced Connect to Meizu Project, and inWatch π It is the first cooperative product of this project, inWatch Since then, it has come into people's view. After more than a year of silence, Yingqu Technology（ inWatch ）Launched new smart watch products in Beijing inWatch T However, after the press conference, the ticket of the product has been skipped, and it was not officially mass produced until the first half of this year.

Design of traditional round watch

inWatch T It is packaged in white, and the overall style is very simple. Open the packing box, and the inside is a plastic egg shaped protective shell. From the perspective of packaging, it is really difficult to connect with a watch. The black egg shaped protective shell can only be said to be full of science and technology, but the overall packaging is not exquisite, lacking the feeling of luxury. perhaps inWatch T The target group is not mature and stable business people, but geeks who pursue fashion and fun, but it is still recommended inWatch T It would be better to use a black box.

Accessories: inWatch T host   , charging base USB Data line and instructions. Here's a description inWatch T It does not support wireless charging. It contacts the charging base through the metal contacts on the back of the watch, and then charges and transmits data with the computer.  

As a product combining technology and fashion, we care about its function, but we also seem to like its appearance. The smart watch is integrated with scientific and technological elements, but it is still a watch in essence, so it should be closer to the traditional watch in terms of connotation and temperament. inWatch T Its design concept also fully implements its essence. The metal watch body is full of quality, the classic round dial, and the stainless steel strap.

inWatch T  Use standard mechanical table size 42mm*12mm , top class case three hundred and sixteen Stainless steel, after surface polishing and metal wire drawing and other processes. Compared with 46mm Of MOTO 360 Personally, I prefer 42mm The size of the dial is mainly because my wrist is thin.

In terms of thickness, inWatch Control the thickness within 12mm , a piece is stuffed inside 300mAh The thickness of 20% battery is acceptable. If wireless charging is used, the thickness may be even more out of control. inWatch T There are three kinds of colors. The one I have is black. I'm worried about whether the paint will fall off. I haven't seen it for several days.

It is worth mentioning that, inWatch T It adopts a round dial design, and the mirror covers a gorilla three Replace glass, scratch resistance and abrasion resistance. inWatch T Use one piece one point four Inch AMOLED Screen, 400X400 With pixel density up to 286PPI . Gorilla glass and AMOLED The combination of screens is a luxury configuration of smart watches. The dial is surrounded by a circle of stainless steel frame slightly higher than the screen, which is cut diagonally to make the transition more natural.

The cutting process of circular screen means higher cost. inWatch T This AMOLED When the screen is off, it is pure black, and the display color is AMOLED The screen is also clearly visible in outdoor high brightness. inWatch T It supports raising the hand to illuminate the screen. Normally, only the digital time is displayed. When raising the hand, the whole dial is illuminated. This function should be based on gravity induction, so there are many false screen lighting conditions, such as : The power consumption of the smart watch increases when the keyboard is typing.

Go on inWatch T The crown is located in the middle of the right side of the dial just like the traditional quartz watch. The small hole on the top of the watch is a microphone, and the lower end is five The holes are speakers. The only plastic module behind the watch is the heart rate sensor on the right five The metal contacts are the charging and data transmission contacts.

inWatch T  The watchband is made of exquisite Milanese metal mesh belt, which can be selected 20mm The size and versatility are strong. As an accessory for watch differentiation and individuality, it is recommended that the official InWatch T introduces more watch bands for users to choose. Personally, I prefer the leather watchband, which is a little younger. The metal watchband feels very mature, especially the silver one.

System experience: excellent voice assistant, lack of software resources

        inWatch T It is carried by Tencent Tencent OS  The system, unfortunately, does not use Google's Android Wear.  The development speed of smart watches is actually through Google Android Wear The update speed is slower than we expected. distance Android Wear More than two years have passed since its debut, but in general, smart watches have not yet formed a mature market. At some time ago I/O At the press conference, Google finally released   Android Wear 2.0 . However, since Google withdrew from the mainland market, domestic users cannot experience the original Android Wear , so it gave some opportunities to domestic Internet companies. Tencent's Tencent OS It is specially customized for smart watches and uses the advantages of its own social software to layout wearable smart devices.

inWatch T Of Tencent OS The interaction mode is mainly click, slide and wrist lift. Limited by the area of the screen, click and slide is undoubtedly the best operation experience at present. Logically,   Tencent OS The system is divided into desktop layer, application layer and notification layer. Another point is that no matter where the watch is located, you can press the crown to return to the time interface. The crown acts as the power key of a mobile phone.

inWatch T Of Tencent OS The system is simple and easy to use. First, in the standby interface, you can enter the dial by clicking the screen, pressing the crown and raising the wrist. Calling out notification bar, basic information display and shortcut switch. Swipe the dial to the left to call out the application menu list, with WeChat QQ , voice assistant, pedometer, etc., mostly Tencent APP . For a warm design, when you slide up and down in the application list and stay in an application, the system will use the icon of the application to highlight the application on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will be convenient for users to operate on the narrow screen because you need to open this APP The next step is to click.

For most users, the most common and important function of smart watches is message push. stay inWatch T Push notifications will be displayed in card format, which is more intuitive. Benefited from Tencent OS ， inWatch T yes QQ The two applications, WeChat and WeChat, have better support. They can receive instant messages on the watch and reply, but they cannot view the friends list on the watch and initiate active chat. Another important function is call notification, inWatch T You can answer the phone directly on the watch, and complete the hands-free call through the built-in microphone and speaker. However, limited by volume, inWatch T The external sound of the phone is not very loud, so the experience of answering the phone through a watch while driving is not perfect.

It is worth mentioning that, Tencent OS The built-in voice assistant Xiaojing experience exceeded my expectations. When the screen on the dial lights up, directly say to the watch “Hi , Whale ” You can wake up the voice assistant. You can query the weather and reply via voice QQ And WeChat messages, you can also dial the phone directly to set the alarm for you as your life assistant. because inWatch T It does not support text input, so most of the information transmission between users and watches needs voice assistants.  

Step counting and heart rate monitoring functions are almost the standard configuration of smart watches and smart bracelets, and many manufacturers have also launched sports versions. inWatch T These two functions only stay on the data recording, for example, the step counting function does not further analyze the recorded data. In fact, this function can be done better. For example, we cooperate with many domestic body fat meter manufacturers to transmit data to mobile phones APP , put forward sports suggestions and health analysis, so that the data is no longer cold numbers.  

In addition, inWatch T There is also a built-in music player. Although the interface is relatively simple, it only has simple play and up and down music. You should know that the watch has 8GB Because of its storage space, it can still store a lot of songs. Looking for mobile phones, drinking water reminders and sitting reminders are all very practical gadgets. But so far, Tencent OS The software resources in the application market are very scarce, Like now High priority of user requirements Mobile branch of pay , identity authentication and other functions did not appear.

Finally inWatch T Dial, the dial is the user's personality and differentiated experience, just like many users will change the theme of their mobile phones. Pressing and holding the dial can replace the local dial that has been downloaded at present, but the number of dials in the dial market is extremely limited. Should Tencent use its influence to call on third-party designers to Tencent OS Design the dial, and then share the income to form a healthy development trend to meet the needs of different users' dial styles.

The endurance needs improving

inWatch T Hardware configuration,   Adopt the wearable chip dual core newly launched by Junzheng 1.2G The processor and a coprocessor are responsible for controlling gravity, geomagnetic and other sensors, 1GB Transportation, storage and 8GB Storage space, 300mAh  High capacity battery.

In the morning, when I go out with a full charge, I often get WeChat messages when I use them normally, which is a moderate use. When I come back in the evening, I basically run out of power, and I can barely last a day. In particular, the function of raising my wrist to light up the screen is still very power consuming. Sometimes, the screen is lit by mistake with a casual action. about inWatch T To be honest, I'm not very satisfied with the level of endurance. Think about it Apple Watch The endurance is just like that, and my heart is balanced.

This may be due to the thickness of the watch body, inWatch T Wireless charging technology is not used. inWatch T The charging mode of the watch is through the contact between the metal contact on the back of the watch and the charging base. The charging base is a snap design, and it is very tight. The frequent plugging and unplugging is very worried that a layer of paint on the watch surface will be abraded. In terms of charging speed, it can be charged in an hour 80% It can be fully charged after an hour. After all, the battery capacity is not large. It must be said that the indicator light of the charging base is always red, but it will not turn green when it is fully charged!!

  Final summary

In general, InWatch T is A product full of sincerity, classic and fashionable appearance design, AMOLED Round dial, good message notification experience and excellent voice assistant. Of course, there are also many shortcomings. The relatively lack of software resources and unsatisfactory endurance performance directly reflect the imperfection of the entire Android smart watch ecosystem and the slow progress of battery technology, which cannot be changed by Yingqu Technology. At present, what we can do is to integrate the best resources to create a relatively excellent domestic smart watch, and Yingqu Technology has done it.
