Men love watches just as women love bags. Most men love watches. Although they may not have the habit of wearing watches, the choice of the wearer is enough to show a person's taste and lifestyle. With the development of science and people's admiration for intelligent technology, the traditional single function mechanical watch is facing the impact of change. The pioneer of smart watch, "Tuman Technology", has threatened to make mobile phones become the companion of watches. What makes it dare to say so?

Maybe we can see a general idea from the latest release of the third generation smart watch T-RIPPLE by Tuman.

[Understanding starts here]

▲ The packaging box is made of long strips made of damping plates. This packaging box is not tall at all, but it feels like a stall. Probably because I have enough confidence in the product itself, I don't care about an outer package that will be thrown away if I just look at it.

The front is a 1:1 T-RIPPLE full body rendering, which corresponds to the color of the inner watch. At present, T-RIPPLE is available in silver and black.

▲ After opening the package, you can see the T-RIPPLE watch and its accessories, including a USB cable and a charging base.

▲ As the saying goes, when marching to fight, soldiers and horses go first without moving food. This charging base is the food for T-RIPPLE. The unique design perfectly combines with the watch, and the base has a permanent magnet to adsorb when charging. When charging, there is a charging animation absorbed towards the center, which is very nice!!

T-RIPPLE has a built-in 300mA battery, which is a small battery with limited endurance. It can only last about half a day to keep the screen on. It can be used for about a whole day for ordinary mild connection (connected to mobile phone, power saving mode), and about 2 days for standby.

▲ T-RIPPLE uses a round dial. This is my dish. I'd better look at the round dial and close my eyes.

The 1.39 inch AMOLED with 400 * 400 resolution fully fits the touch screen, making the display very delicate and clear.

The steel ring around the dial adopts polishing and wire drawing processes. It should be designed for protection when it is higher than the dial.

▲ At the bottom of the body are speakers, charging contacts and heart rate monitors.

▲ On the right side is the crown button, whose function is very simple. Press it to light up the screen and then press it to turn off the screen. It is a very careful design to place it at 2 o'clock. It is laser engraved with the logo of Tuman.

▲ The silver belt is a needle leather belt in khaki, which is soft and comfortable to wear. However, it is not suitable for sweaty summer. It seems that a stainless steel watchband is still needed.

[This is needed for playing]

▲ TUMAN Smart Watch T-RIPPLE is equipped with dual core 1.2GHz processor, 512MB+4GB memory combination, low-power broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 chip, speaker, microphone, vibration module, gyroscope, gravity sensing, electronic compass, heart rate test and other sensors, and supports IP-67 waterproof. As a smart watch at this stage, it is mainly used as an add-on product of mobile phones, and needs to be used together with the corresponding APP installed on mobile phones.

▲ TUMAN T-RIPPLE uses an APP named "Expression" as the media to connect with mobile phones via Bluetooth binding. So as to realize watch networking, information push, firmware upgrade, watch machine mutual search and other functions.

▲ The UI of this app can't attract much attention, and as a background running service support, it doesn't need to be too gorgeous. The stability of operation is the key.

▲ As a smart watch, TUMAN T-RIPPLE naturally has a changeable and exquisite dial. This is what traditional watches can't do. You can change your favorite dial through APP or by long pressing the watch screen. I heard that Tuman is holding a dial design contest recently, and the prizes are very rich, so you can take part in the design.

▲ The 013 firmware adds the "financial scenario" mode, and the "work scenario", "entertainment scenario", "health scenario", "expression scenario", and "going out scenario" constitute the proud scenario application mode of TUMAN T-RIPPLE.

▲ Working scenarios are mainly voice memo reminders from Monday to Sunday. The ingenious ring arrangement uses the average division of the side circle of the dial as the scene function selection area (the same is true for other scene modes). You can click to view the list of notes for a day, listen to the recording of notes in the list, and add and delete the recording of notes.

▲ Health scene, including sitting reminder, pedometer and heart rate monitoring functions. T-Ripple watch uses photoelectric test, which is based on blood flow rate. Although there is some error, it is good for auxiliary measurement.

▲ Entertainment scenes. Entertainment scenes mainly focus on song lists, music and sharing. The music in the mobile phone is searched by means of full scan, and the list is synchronized at the watch end to control the music playing of the mobile phone, not watch playing.

▲ The expression scene is an extension of the mobile phone end expression APP in the watch end, which is equivalent to a social function. You can view the list of friends, view conversation records, chat with friends, and view the ranking of expressed like comments, making communication more convenient.

▲ In the scene of going out, use the watch to do simple auxiliary navigation. This feature phone must be online. Unfortunately, after many tests, the watch's voice recognition is not particularly good. Maybe my Mandarin is not standard.

▲ In addition, T-RIPPLE smart watch also supports functions such as answering and making calls and receiving SMS messages. You can answer calls through the watch without taking out your mobile phone. However, due to the product batch problem, the call function experience is not very good. After the synchronization function is enabled in the APP, T-RIPPLE smart watch will give a message push for some interactive social apps, but it is unable to reply at present.

▲ Tuman has also built in the "retrieve" function for T-RIPPLE. The mobile phone operation bar is "retrieve the watch", and the watch operation is "retrieve the phone". Both can wake up the alarm prompt of the target under the condition that Bluetooth transmission allows.

▲ In addition to the above six scenarios, there are also built-in weather forecast, calculator, timer and other small applications. After all, the body of Tuman has 4GB of memory, which cannot be wasted. It is probably because it is Android system for the safe use of watches, but it still prohibits the installation of APP. I believe that more practical functions will be added in the future.

Summary

As a watch, TUMAN T-RIPPLE is amazing. It uses a 316L precision steel case, and the weight of the whole machine is moderate. Adhering to the disc shape of the traditional watch, the detachable strap design makes the watch more changeable. The more comfortable design (crown position) is enough to see the intentions of TUMAN Technology. The overall experience feedback is very satisfactory. The connection and push stability of "Expression" is pretty good (only limited to the connection with Android system, my brother doesn't have a fruit machine, so I don't know the situation of the fruit machine). At present, we can see that there are certain problems with the pickup and speaker of the watch. The navigation voice recognition also needs to be improved, and the endurance also needs to be improved, As a smart watch with medium and low threshold, Tumen is commendable. We hope that Tumen can continue to develop and maintain T-RIPPLE. （by lingchen00）
