preface

"Go out and ask" is one of the first manufacturers to try smart watches in China, and its first generation product, Ticwatch, has also been widely praised by the public! With the arrival of Ticwear4.0, its second generation product, Ticwatch2, also appeared in front of us. Fortunately, Xiao Bian got the opportunity to experience Ticwatch2 in his computer trial. How can Ticwatch2 bring us the experience of smart watches? Let's wait and see!  

Noble and generous unpacking

Different from the generation long strip packaging, Ticwatch2's packaging is small box type, with concave and convex lines on the black box, and the gold "Ticwatch2" logo is noble and generous. The bottom of the box is pasted with relevant product information.  

The side of the box is printed with "orderly time, interesting life", which may be the essence of Ticwatch!  

There are good protection and fixing measures inside the box to prevent the watch from being damaged during transportation.  

Ticwatch2 obtained by Xiao Bian is a classic version, including Ticwatch2 watch (black belt+3G version), wireless charging base, data cable, power adapter and user manual.

Simple but pleasing

Appearance can be said to be the biggest factor for me to choose a smart watch. After all, a watch is not only about time, but also an accessory. When I got Ticwatch2, my first impression of Ticwatch2 was that it was elegant and more beautiful than the official rendering.  

The body of Ticwatch2 is made of 316L refined steel. Adhering to a generation of round dials, the 1.4-inch screen is surrounded by a ring of stainless steel with bright surface treatment, which sparkles in the light. The other parts of the fuselage are brushed, simple and elegant. However, the screen is slightly raised relative to the body, and the screen is more likely to be hit and scratched. It is recommended that users with thick hands and feet should be careful.  

Similar to traditional watches, Ticwatch2 also has a watch ear on the side of the body, which is used as the power/switch key; On the other side is the hidden deflection, which can slide up and down and be determined as an auxiliary interaction mode. The ear of the watch and the direction of the deflection can be set at will, while the small braid prefers the left ear to the right, which is more suitable for wearing on the left hand.  

At the bottom center of Ticwatch2 is a heart rate sensor, with a microphone and speakers above. What I have to complain about is that the material at the bottom is easy to dip in sweat stains, especially in summer when there is much sweat. Xiaobian will wipe away the sweat stains with a paper towel almost every night.  

Ticwatch2 classic version is equipped with a belt as standard, which has three colors: black, brown and pink. Of course, if you don't like it, you can also get another strap. The standard belt supports quick disassembly, which is simple and convenient.

The Ticwatch2 is also comfortable to wear on your hands. The biggest feeling is "light", which is the lightest of the three smart watches Xiaobian has ever used.  

Play Ticwatch2

A smart watch is still a watch. Watching time is the most basic function. Ticwatch2 is equipped with a 1.4 inch oled screen. The 400 * 400 resolution is clear enough and the brightness is relatively high. However, because Guangzhou is overcast and rainy recently, it cannot be tested in strong sunlight. Ticwatch2 supports raising your hand to light the screen. You can light the dial by gently waving your hand. However, the screen is slightly slow and sometimes unsuccessful. Maybe the algorithm is too conservative to save power. At the same time, Ticwatch2 also supports constant light, which is the official low light level mode. It displays the time in black and white, which improves the actual experience to a certain extent. In addition, it does not consume much more power in personal testing.

Speaking of dials, Ticwatch2 has a lot of dials. In addition to the built-in dials, you can also download and add them at the inquiry store. Among them, the little editor likes the little yellow man's dial. Every time the screen is lit, a different little yellow man will come out to greet him, which is very cute! However, very few of the dials in the store will be incompatible. For example, the dials are missing a circle. I hope the manufacturer can repair these dials as soon as possible.  

For smart watches, endurance is an important aspect. According to the users who are heavily used like Xiaobian, many messages are pushed every day, and they often light up their watches when they are free. The power will drop to 10% around 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm, and they will automatically enter the power saving mode. After that, they can only watch the time until 8:00 pm and 9:00 pm On the whole, it's OK to use it with full power for one day.

It is commendable that Ticwatch2 uses wireless magnetic suction charging, which can be automatically absorbed and charged by gently placing it on the charging base, which is very convenient! From 0% to 100%, it can be charged in about 60 minutes, but the watch is slightly hot.

Slide on the watch from top to bottom to pull out a quick card. The quick card has a status bar, quick settings, weather, sports, etc. You can make changes according to your needs on the mobile app, or add Alipay as a quick payment~

Sliding from bottom to top is a message push. All push messages in the phone can be pushed to the watch for easy preview It is commendable that Ticwatch2 supports no message reminder when the mobile phone's screen is lit. It is more user-friendly, and the watch won't vibrate when the mobile phone plays games.  

Sliding from left to right is voice, and of course, you can use "Hello to ask" to wake up. Ticwatch2's voice function is quite powerful. It can not only help you find food and drink, but also directly say take a taxi home after binding Didi or Uber, which can help you call an express.  

Slide from right to left to pull out the app drawer. Ticwatch2 has some commonly used small applications built in, such as calendar, weather, alarm clock, calculator, etc., which are convenient for daily use. I think the best thing to use is the news app. The app cooperates with Today's Headlines, and news updates are fast. It is especially suitable for watching on the bus or subway when commuting. It is very easy to operate with the help of up and down.  

In the inquiry store, we can download many watch apps, including tools and games. However, the application quality is uneven, and users need to choose according to their own needs. Among them, the minor editor thinks there are two better ones. One is the flashlight, which directly uses the watch as a flashlight; The second is FindMyphone. When the phone is too far away from the watch, it will automatically alarm, which can not only prevent missing the phone, but also prevent thieves. As for watch games, they are not very playable, but it is OK to take the bus to kill time.

Ticwatch2 has a built-in Sim card, which supports 3G networks. It can be used after simple activation, and the price is relatively cheap. At this point, the watch can be used independently without the mobile phone, and you can go out without the mobile phone. However, Xiao Bian thinks it's a bit awkward. After all, people often make phone calls or WeChat calls on his mobile phone. It's still not practical to go out without a mobile phone. Maybe it is a good supplement to make a phone call with your watch when your mobile phone is out of power.  

Ticwatch2 supports Alipay, which is great! After being added to the quick card, it is also very convenient to go to the convenience store to buy water or McDonald's to order food. Just sweep the watch attendant.  

As a smart watch, sports health function is of course indispensable. Ticwatch2 is equipped with GPS and heart rate sensor, which can not only more accurately try to maximize the current amount of exercise, but also enable different modes as needed, such as cycling, running, and so on, so that the test is more practical.  

Ticwatch2 comes with androidwear compatibility mode, which can be opened in the App and android wear is automatically installed. In fact, it seems that this Android wear is not the original version of Google. How can you click get app to connect to the play store? So I just downloaded an Android wear on the play store again. In AW mode, we can experience the wear application on the play store.  

Because many apps support android wear, such as WeChat Wechat, wallpaper application Muzei, etc., they can be displayed on the watch without re downloading. However, due to poor compatibility, WeChat is always unable to log in, and it is also impossible to synchronize Google fit's drink reminder application. In addition, the power consumption is serious in AW mode, so Xiaobian returns to the normal mode silently.  

summary

In the week of experiencing Ticwatch2, Ticwatch2 can still leave me many indelible impressions and feelings. First of all, Ticwatch2 has an elegant, simple and elegant appearance. I used to resist the belt, but this time Ticwatch2 did not make me feel the urge to replace it with a steel belt, because I think the silver dial with a black belt will look better; Secondly, the dial is a bright spot, and there are always many people who like it; Next, Alipay is supported. Direct watch payment is really convenient; Powerful sports health. Sometimes, I get up to work for WeChat steps. Another thing is that although Ticwatch2 has only 521mb RAM, there is almost no jam in the use process, and it is optimized very well!

Ticwatch2 is definitely the leader of domestic smart watches in terms of appearance and comprehensive functions!

However, Ticwatch2 also has some shortcomings. First of all, battery life or short board, one charge a day is indispensable, which is also the common short board of smart watches. Perhaps only a major breakthrough in battery technology can solve this problem. Secondly, it is easy to leave sweat stains on the bottom of the table and the compatibility of AW compatibility mode is not very good.

In general, simple and elegant, Ticwatch2 is also a good choice for smart watches!
