preface

360 children's watch brand has always held high the banner of cost performance since its inception. Basically, every generation of products has become popular in the children's watch market at a price lower than that of competitors, no less than or even better than that of competitors. This year, Tong Dawei was invited to act as the spokesman, and a new sub brand - Badilon Children's Watch was launched. It is intended to further consolidate its leading position in the children's watch market. Among them, the Badilon 5S children's watch, priced at 999 yuan, is a breakthrough in 360 children's watch's focus on cost performance. So, what advantages does such a children's watch, whose price is comparable to that of a mobile phone, have to support the high price?

Unpacking

Different from the previous generation of 3S cute candy box packaging, this Badilon 5S uses a long carton packaging. The bright red color matching with cute Badilon images can still attract children's eyes. However, compared with the transparent candy box design of the previous generation, the hard carton packaging still lacks some delicacy. As far as packaging is concerned, I still like the packaging of the previous generation of products, which is not only exquisite, but also can be used as a storage box for babies after taking out the watch.

Open the outer package, you can see the plastic inner box used for reinforcement to prevent damage and collision during transportation. The accessories and instructions are packaged again in a small red paper box, so the overall appearance is more unified.  

Look at what 360 has prepared for the pink girl Badilong? Are the instructions, warranty cards and letters to parents official expressions of reluctance to Badilon 5s? The data cable, charger and sim card fetching are for the minibus to better adapt to users. Of course, don't forget the Badilon badge, which is also cute. Sometimes, it can even steal the limelight of Badilon. (My baby is really interested in this badge.)

appearance

When taking out the body of Badilon 5s, the first impression is that it is really big. Whether it is the 3s of the previous generation or the Badilon SE written by the low-end of this generation, the size of the Badilon 5S is much larger. Personally, this size is more suitable for children over 6 years old. My baby can't hold it.

The color matching of Badilon 5S is not very rich, only the two colors of Tranquil Blue and Peach Pink. This time, my son got the color matching of peach powder.  

Today, 2.5D screens are widely used in mobile phones to improve the appearance and texture, and 5S, as the flagship of children's watches, can't avoid customs. The 5S uses a 2.5D full fit touchable IPS screen with a size of 1.3 inches and a resolution of 240 * 240, which makes the 5S screen display very fine.  

However, compared with the 3S, this screen is not completely black, and you can still see the difference between the screen and the border. The 3S slightly specular effect is undoubtedly more pleasing.

At the top of the screen, you can vaguely see a camera. This camera is from American OV, with 2 million pixels. It supports photo sharing, cute shooting and other functions, supplemented by night scene optimization, intelligent exposure and other technologies. This camera configuration is powerful in the children's watch industry, which is one of the reasons why people tease Badilon 5S as a battle watch in children's watches. At the bottom, in addition to the 360 logo, there is also a noise reduction microphone.

Two physical buttons on the right side of the fuselage. The upper key is the power key. Tap to return and return to the main screen. The SOS can be called for help by pressing and holding down the key. At the same time, the program set for quick start can be customized.  

The left side is the speaker and sim card slot. It should be noted that, like previous generations of watches, only nano cards are supported, and users should not cut their own cards. It is most safe to use the standard card of the communication company. Users cut the card by themselves. Due to the size error, the card cannot be picked up. There are endless posts on 360 Children's Watch Forum.  

The back is made of plastic material with sandblasting process. It feels very delicate. Below the rubber dust cover is a USB charging port, which supports fast charging. The built-in 500mah battery can be fully charged in about 1 hour.  

The watchband is still made of edible silica gel, and the sweat guide groove is made on the side contacting the skin to ensure air circulation as much as possible and avoid sweat accumulation. But judging from the experience. The 5S strap is obviously more comfortable than the Badilon SE, but compared with the previous generation of 3S, it is not soft enough, and its comfort is still lacking. This is the consensus of several people in the family after they try it on. I don't know whether it is the material deviation or the supplier's problem??  

APP

The mobile phone client of Badilon 5S is still 360 Children's Guard, but it has photo sharing functions compared with other products.

To register and log in, all accounts are registered based on mobile phones. It is not feasible to register by QQ or Weibo alone. After logging in, scan the QR code on the watch and bind it, then you can connect the watch for use.  

The main interface is divided into three parts after updating: home page, circle and mine. Clear hierarchy.

The phone, chat and monitor functions on the home page are only for contacts bound to the watch. Phone numbers not added to the contact list will be directly blocked by Badilon 5S. Avoid disturbing children. In addition to calling a watch from a mobile phone, you can also make real-time voice calls and send expressions with the watch.

The positioning function of Badilon 5S is based on GPS, base station, Beidou wifi、 Six fold positioning, such as gravity induction and PDR, is faster and more accurate. Especially outdoors, the positioning accuracy is quite excellent. Based on the positioning function, parents can open the safety fence and set a safe activity area for their children. It can also quickly reach the children according to positioning and navigation. At the same time, remember to teach children to use the SOS function, which is often helpful in critical moments. It is also the core function of children's watches.

The Circle is an exchange forum set up by 360 for children's watch users, where you can exchange their experience, use skills and submit feedback. In addition, we can also see some common sense of childcare, baby photos, etc. It can be regarded as the gathering place of Baopa and Baoma.  

My provides a series of management for watches and apps, and upgrades for apps and watch firmware. Baby information management. Of course, you can also set the wifi password of the Badilon 5S on the app side, so that in a wireless environment, you can reduce the consumption of mobile traffic.

experience

From the app side, it seems that there is not much difference between the Badilon 5S and the Badilon SE of 199. So where is 360's confidence in pricing it at 999? Don't worry. Follow me to do a detailed experience from the watch end.

The high price of the Badilon 5S is first based on its high configuration, and the MT2601 processor, a wearable solution from MediaTek, is adopted. With a 1.2GHz dual core Cortex-A7 core and 512MB running memory and 4GB storage space, it can be said that it is unparalleled in children's watch industry in terms of performance.

The system of Badilon 5S is 360OS for wear, which is based on Android 5.1 and supports online firmware update. According to my experience of using 360 children's watches for more than a year, the firmware update has largely solved the user feedback problems and needs, and better listened to the voice of users. This is also the core advantage of 360 children's watches in my opinion.

When starting up, there is an animated demonstration of a cute and playful Buddilon. The boot time is about 15 seconds.

The control of the watch end is realized by the touch screen, and different functions can be achieved by sliding the screen up, down, left and right. Functions such as volume adjustment, weather forecast, step count, etc. for downward outgoing wifi; Slide up to display the latest notification; Slide left to call out all function lists and settings; Right slide can summon Badilon, and let it grow by walking 50% steps of the target every day. In addition, it can also interact with users' voice.

The weather forecast, step count, and friends' like functions not only make children more interested in sports, but also promote them to interact more with people.

The application and setting page of left scrolling exhalation is more rich than I expected and completely subverts my concept of children's watch. The functions of phone, chat, camera, interesting voice change, health, running call checking, reminder, stopwatch and so on dazzle people. These functions are gradually added and improved by 360 officials in each update. I believe that with the firmware update, there will be more interesting new functions waiting for me. However, too many functions can sometimes be a burden for young children. So, let me reiterate my opinion that this Badilon 5S is more suitable for older children.

Let's focus on the chinchilla pet. The left sliding exhaled chinchilla is not just an animated pet for you to play with. 360 has built many music, poems and stories into it. You can talk to it through the voice button in the lower right corner, and let it recite a poem or sing a song, all to meet your needs. It can tell you more about 100000 reasons. Therefore, this Badilon is not only a child's playmate, but also a good teacher and friend in learning.

In addition to the regular photographing function, the new camera also supports one click beauty and various Kawaii special effects. Add various cute special effects to the children and save them in the album, or share the photos with their relatives. It's a rhythm that makes the selfie start from the doll. However, I still feel that the starting and saving speed of the camera is a bit slow during the use process. I hope the official will optimize it later.

In addition to regular telephone communication with contacts, you can also send expressions, instant voice, pictures, text messages, etc., so that communication is not single.

The Badilon 5S also has some considerate settings, which are no better than the remote shutdown of the app end to prevent lawbreakers from forcibly closing the watch and causing it to be unable to locate. These are all 360's long-term experience in child protection.  

The functions of the Badilon 5S are far more than those I introduced. I will not introduce every function here. As an intelligent children's watch, these functions may be adjusted with the firmware update. I hope parents with children can have more patience with their children to explore new ways to play these functions.

summary

As a children's watch whose price is comparable to that of mobile phones, the Badilon 5S children's watch has proved its worth with its excellent hardware performance and good software performance. 360's years of hard work on children's watches have also ensured its basic capabilities such as positioning and voice calling. The new cameras and Buddilon pets have added more fun and educational meaning to children's watches. In a word, the price of Badilon 5S children's watch is high, but it is worth it.
