Before receiving this Ticwatch 2, the author has experienced some intelligent wearable devices, including Xiaomi bracelet without screen, Xiaohei 2 with black and white screen and good endurance, Tuman 3 with color touch screen, clingband with six basic sensors, and Ewei series with basic functions. But the experience is that in addition to Xiaohei 2 giving me a reliable impression, Other products didn't interest me very much. Due to the beauty of Little Black 2, I finally took off the smart bracelet.
In fact, with the development of intelligent wearable devices today, there are still several debates around the development of products. Disk and square, screen and no screen, endurance and function. In the choice of functions, major manufacturers are working together to produce a piece of products that is popular with some people who like wearable devices and intelligent life.
Actually“ I'm very excited about this ticwatch 2. When I got the product, I saw that it was a very delicate square box, Orderly time and interesting life ", which also explains the pursuit and fun of the intelligent era. Due to the high height of the box and the material, it takes some effort to open the box and take out the watch. This package is really damp.
The accessories in the box are very simple. In addition to the watch, there are wireless seat charger, charger, data cable, instructions, etc., which are no different from ordinary smart watches. In terms of watches, compared with the first generation product, the dial size of Ticwatch 2 is reduced from 46mm to 42mm, which makes it more compact. Compared with the Tuman 3 experienced by the author some time ago, the ticwatch 2 dial is lighter and thinner, and the feel page is more moderate. The new generation ticwatch watch is equipped with a 1.4-inch OLED screen with a screen diameter of 36mm and a screen proportion of 73.5%. It covers sapphire glass with a resolution of 400x400 pixels and a screen accuracy of 287PPI.
On the charging base, the ticwatch 2 does not use the contact charging method commonly used by other manufacturers, but uses the wireless fast charging scheme from IDT to ensure fast wireless charging under effective control of heating. In fact, the author found that this charging method is indeed faster and more convenient, which avoids the erosion of contact points caused by long-term wearing sweat, and also makes the product look more beautiful and more scientific.
The front side of Ticwatch2 uses 316L fine steel fine brushed case, which makes the watch look more textured. However, I think this material has a weakness, that is, it is easy to attach grease and fingerprints on the hands to the ring mouth after wearing for a long time, which makes the ring mouth look a little uncomfortable and not resistant to dirt. In terms of the function of the watch crown, in addition to lighting up the watch when necessary and switching on and off the machine, double clicking the crown can also take screenshots, and the screenshots will be automatically saved to your phone album.
In fact, there is a very prominent feature in the design of the watch crown of ticwatch 2. In order to cooperate with the flexure function, ticwatch has carried out an unconventional design, designed the watch crown to the left, which makes me feel a bit strange when I first started this watch, but it still does not affect the use. I advocate that you can adjust the wearing method suitable for yourself through system settings, The best wearing effect can also be achieved by changing the watch strap.
The ticwatch 2 adopts a two-part design. The dial and the bottom cover are obviously divided into two parts with different styles. The silver color of the dial is cold and the black color of the bottom cover is deep, making the style of the ticwatch 2 a little jumpy. This design will also reduce the waterproof ability of the watch.
On the bottom cover, Ticwatch 2 is equipped with a heart rate sensor, through which the heart rate can be quickly measured. Another infrared distance sensor is placed in the middle of the heart rate sensor. To ensure the safety of the watch information, after the watch is removed, the user can set that the watch can be unlocked by password or pattern. For such a smart watch that can make independent calls, if you don't look carefully for the location of the microphone and sound chamber, you really think it will not exist. Through the black color matching and hidden design, we need to be careful to see that these two call modules are hidden in the two sections of the watch strap.
surface In terms of strap, ticwatch 2 uses leather strap imported from Italy, which is indeed a little better than Tuman 3 in terms of workmanship and material. This strap is softer and more comfortable. After wearing it for many times, the strap's reducibility is still great. The eleven hole buttonhole can meet the use needs of most users and basically meet the wearing requirements of most people.
In terms of configuration, ticwatch 2 is equipped with a 1.2GHz MT 2601 dual core processor, 512M storage and 4G storage space. For a relatively closed watch system, this configuration is relatively rich. Compared with the recently used Tuman 3, the reaction speed and operating feel have been greatly improved. It is proposed that watch2 has a built-in chip SIM chip and 3G communication module, which can ensure that the watch can be used independently without WIFI and mobile phones. With the GPS module, you can no longer take your mobile phone with you when you go out for running. With the message cloud synchronization function, even if your mobile phone is left at home, you can let users receive notifications at the first time. However, it should be noted that, The built-in SIM chip of the watch only supports the 170/171 virtual network, and the support area temporarily only supports several major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
As a real smart watch, I think it needs not only excellent product design, good quality control, but also advantageous hardware combination. Personally, the most important thing is the combination of software and hardware, how to give full play to the functions and advantages of the product hardware, how to make the user's product experience better, and how to make smart devices better serve users, More convenient problem solving, these are very key factors. On ticwatch 2, I feel the sincerity and confidence from going out to ask.
As a local manufacturer, the biggest contribution to China's smart watch market is to help Android Wear enter China. At present, the voice assistant service, the core part of the Android Wear Chinese system, is supported by going out and asking questions. In the combination of hard and soft, Ticwatch is exploring and looking for a way that is more suitable for the use habits of Chinese people. The ultimate direction of going out to ask is to develop the way from software to hardware. First, find a more suitable way for Chinese people to move forward, and then choose a pair of suitable shoes. This way is also similar to the original Xiaomi. Start with MIUI, and then develop Xiaomi mobile phones. I think from today's experience of the effect of this ticwatch 2, this way has achieved initial success, At least she has been recognized by many people.
Speaking of going out and asking, it is Ticwear. This app can be applied to both IOS and Android platforms. However, due to system limitations, many functions on IOS can not be implemented very well. So the IOS version is a bit like the castration version of Android. However, the author has operated and used both systems, Now let's take a look at what's different about this watch 2.
Connect the device. I think all users who are familiar with intelligent wearable products will know this step very well. Download the app and follow the process. However, there are some differences in ticwear. Every time you connect the device, there will be differences. Because ticwatch 2 has a built-in 4G storage space, you can store data in the watch, After changing the connection product, users can restore data from backup or start recording data again. I think this is a function that many other intelligent devices do not have. In addition, due to the different design of the Ticwatch 2 crown, the setting of the wearing mode will be more flexible. Users can set the wearing mode through software, and if necessary, they can complete different wearing modes by changing the expression.
At the same time, because of the need for safe use, the service password can also be set on the ticwatch 2. After the watch is removed, the password needs to be unlocked to continue the service.
At most one device can be paired with ticwear at a time, and each ticwatch 2 can only be paired with a corresponding device. If you want to pair multiple devices, you can only reset the watch data. In this regard, I think it is better to pair different mobile phones and devices at any time and anywhere, as long as Bluetooth pairing or scanning the corresponding device QR code can solve the problem. In the personal center, users can set basic health information to make the step counting function more accurate, while setting home location and work location can ensure that relevant navigation functions and car hailing services can be called more quickly. In the notification center, there is still a big difference between Android and IOS. The Android version has richer content and more accurate settings, while the IOS version is more simple and monotonous. Only quantity items can be operated in content selection.
In terms of dial replacement, ticwatch 2 can provide two replacement methods, one is through APP, the other is by long pressing the watch screen. Both methods are very convenient, and the watch screen will be replaced immediately. In addition, when the watch is connected to WIFI, users can also download the latest dial by connecting to WIFI, Through the Android version of the Ask Store, users can choose more incredible dials, and even customize dials. This makes me a little depressed when I insist on using the IOS system, and also makes IOS users less playable in ticwatch 2.
As a watch that can make calls, Ticwatch 2 can not only connect to the mobile phone through Bluetooth, but also can be used independently without the mobile phone. However, this function must rely on the SIM card and 3G function. This function is rooted in the built-in SIM card of ticwatch 2, and is bound by the protocol with the virtual network provider, To access call and network services. However, the network number segment of the network provider is 170/171. Recently, many people have become jittery about online fraud, and the public security department has clearly reminded all citizens not to answer the calls in the 170/171 segment. At the same time, since the opening area of this function is limited to several major cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, there will be a little regret in the experience. However, with this function, users can receive information and reminders through cloud services when they are away from their mobile phones.
Magic quiz, as a more personalized and in-depth optimization function for going out, its taxi function has entered the actual experience stage. Users can bind Didi and Uber accounts, directly use the watch's interactive function and voice to provide taxi service, which is convenient and fast.
In the Android version of the app, we will find an AW compatibility mode, which is clearly explained as Android Wear, which is equivalent to Google's official watch assistant. This allows ticwatch to effectively bypass official censorship to use the main functions of Android, which provides a lot of convenience for the use of this watch, Users can also install more dials and applications on ticwatch 2 through the mobile terminal.
In the inquiry store, users can install various dials, tools, games, social and health software as needed to meet various new and cool experiences when the watch is fully charged.
What is a qualified smart watch like? I think a thousand people will have a thousand ideas. But I think that a qualified smart watch is able to meet your small needs without a big framework, as long as it provides more convenience for life, as long as it can bring some fun to life, I think it is enough, Although it is not as realistic as Wang Jianlin's goal of 100 million yuan, my expectation for smart watches is just like that. After all, we still have a lot of tolerance in the initial stage of this smart watch.
Sports, as a smart watch, must be well done, well done and detailed. I think the performance of ticwatch 2 is good. Let's also take a look at the sports performance of this watch first.
First of all, in the exercise interface, we can detect our daily exercise steps, understand our own exercise curve, be familiar with our recent exercise rules, and have a more scientific plan for our healthy life. I think it is very important, and real-time heart rate monitoring is also very necessary. How to ensure good exercise status, We can easily obtain the corresponding information by raising our wrists.
In addition, in the new version of the sports function, we can more accurately understand the real-time sports information. First, by setting the type of exercise, ticwatch 2 can monitor your sports status in real time, from the time of exercise, pace, course, and real-time heart rate. After completion, we can also understand the overall sports status and calories consumed by exercise.
In the right slide function area of ticwatch 2, we use watches to provide many functions, such as phone, SMS, alarm clock, sports, timing, Ai Li, Alipay, QQ friends, weather query, and other functions. Necessary setting functions can also be realized here.
In the news function, ticketch 2 has a built-in headline application. We can click the screen to directly view the news push of the headlines and keep abreast of various news developments. Due to the influence of the round screen, it may be a little uncomfortable when reading text. In this way, ticwatch 2 also provides a very important function. The mobile phone can view the interesting content you see on the watch directly in the mobile phone screen without looking again. In addition, with a good network, Toutiao will push some messages in the drop-down menu of the watch.
The weather function, I think, is a feature that many people pay more attention to. In addition to the necessary functions, the biggest difference of ticwatch2 is that it provides voice broadcast. Click the symbol at the bottom of the screen to automatically broadcast weather related content.
There is a very important function on Ticwatch 2, which is the constant light function that I like very much. The realization of this function is a function that goes against the product's endurance. But I think it is also a function that should have and is very necessary. Constant light can prove that this is a watch, not a cold screen. In the constant light function, The ticwatch 2 will simplify the screen and change the screen as necessary, so as to reduce the power consumption of constant lighting. This function is highly recommended by individuals. In addition, in ticwatch2, we can enable the watch to enter flight mode, do not disturb mode, power saving mode and intelligent power saving mode, so as to ensure the watch's long-term endurance.
In fact, as the most important function of ticwatch 2, the question function is a very important interactive function, which can provide taxi hailing service, navigation service and call function through voice function. However, in personal practical experience, if you say "call * *", but in the operation of the watch, you will only enter the address book, not dial directly, Personally, I think it needs further improvement. In addition, ticwatch 2 can also make Alipay payment directly by scanning the code on the watch, which is very powerful on the premise of having 3G function.
The call function of ticwatch 2 is an important function that many people want to experience. We can select a phone or SMS in the call interface. After the call is made, we can also choose to call through a watch or mobile phone.
Sogou map is built in ticwatch 2, and the author also tested the accuracy of navigation and positioning. In the actual experience, the positioning accuracy of the watch is quite high, but there is a small problem. Due to the limitation of the watch's performance, there will be occasional black screen when running the map.
Finally, let's talk about the endurance of this ticwatch 2. Personally, the endurance of this ticwatch 2 is not very powerful. In the past ten days, the author has mainly turned on the QQ reminder function and telephone reminder. The dial is always on (the brightness is level 3), and the ring and alarm clock are not turned on. He puts on the watch 7 days in the morning and takes off the watch at about 9 o'clock in the evening. The remaining power is about 30%, I think this will also be the basic setting method for many users who choose a smart watch, so the ticwatch 2 can't avoid recharging every day for the time being.
But it is worth mentioning that ticwatch 2 The TiCharge wireless fast charging scheme from IDT has significantly improved the charging efficiency, and the charging speed is also very fast. It can fill the watch in about one hour, which is commendable.
After experiencing ticwatch 2 for a long time, I am very satisfied with this watch. I think ticwatch 2 can become an important direction and benchmark for the development of domestic smart watches in terms of product shape, configuration, software and function optimization.
advantage:
1. The product has powerful functions and rich content.
2. Comfortable to wear, the dial and APP are more abundant and playable.
3. With independent 3G module and SIM card, the watch can adapt to more use scenarios.
Lifting point:
1. The endurance needs further improvement.
2. The optimization of functions should also go deep into the integration and application of functions.
3. The waterproof grade should be improved.
4. The watch makes more convenient improvements in the connection device switching.
