In the early years, wearable intelligent devices quietly emerged, triggering a round of consumption boom. The smart bracelet is the first to develop because of its low threshold and price, Old brand manufacturers such as Fitbit, Jawbone, Misfit, etc. bear the brunt of the market and are likely to monopolize the market. However, on July 22, 2014, the first generation of Xiaomi bracelet came out. In that era when the smart bracelet was still monopolized by foreign manufacturers and the price was often hundreds of thousands, the market impact of Xiaomi bracelet of 79 yuan on the domestic consumer market with huge demand is self-evident. Seeing the success of Xiaomi bracelet, domestic small manufacturers have blindly followed the trend, and more and more branded products have emerged, resulting in serious homogenization of products in the market, and the software experience can not keep up, so people gradually turn their attention to smart watches.

Samsung GEAR, MOTO 360 and Apple Watch, the industry's benchmark product, were the first to set foot in smart watches, with a strong user base As well as brand marketing strategy, it quickly became the leader in the smart watch market, and its market share even exceeded that of traditional watches. The trend of smart watches also spread to China, inwatch T、ticwatch、 Tuman/T-Ripple has done well. Today, what I want to introduce to you is also a domestic smart watch. Strictly speaking, it should be a sports watch - Huami AMAZFIT sports watch!

AMAZFIT sports watch is a product independently developed by Huami, an ecological chain enterprise of Xiaomi. Although it is not the legendary "Xiaomi watch", it has attracted wide attention. When I saw the appearance of AMAZFIT sports watch for the first time at the press conference, I was attracted by the ceramic watch ring and Corning gorilla glass round dial. The combination of tradition and modernity is as exquisite as a handicraft! After making an appointment to rush to buy, I just saw the new product crowd test activity jointly launched by JD Smart Community and Huami AMAZFIT. Unexpectedly, I won the bid. Happiness came so suddenly! Don't delay, come and unpack at once!

[Unpacking&Details]

The straight to the point front packaging has five main functions: notification and reminding, music playing, GPS tracking, heart rate monitoring, all-weather display, which are directly marked on the plastic sheet, so that users can "know" before using.

The back of the package is simple parameter information such as product model, package content, equipment requirements, etc

It can be seen that the production date is August 2016, and the machine is very fresh

Move Beautiful

The real appearance of the watch "coming out after a thousand calls" is very attractive in terms of appearance and touch

The left side of the package is the charging base, the right side is the Micro USB charging cable, or is it not equipped with a power adapter

There aren't many parts, it's just good

Let's take a group photo of Xiaomi Bracelet 2, an elder apprentice

Personally, I still think the watch is more attractive

From the appearance, I prefer the traditional disc design to the square dial represented by Apple Watch

Under the sunlight, the wear-resistant and scratch resistant zirconia ceramic bezel appears more textured

It also has the most basic function of the traditional watch - all-weather display, black screen rejection, time watching anytime, anywhere, which is also one of my favorite functions

If you don't tell me, people really think it's just an ordinary watch

1.34 inch reflective low-power color display, 320 X 300 resolution, capacitive touch screen, Corning gorilla glass, high configuration for watch products

If you look carefully, you will find that the dial is not a complete circle. Like the bottom of Moto 360, it also cuts out a place to place the light sensor, which has little impact on daily use

The case is made of glass fiber reinforced polycarbonate, which has strong heat resistance, corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength, but it is easy to give people a sense of cheap plastic

Silicone wrist strap is soft and comfortable to contact with skin

There is a unique sweat slot on the inner side of the watchband, which can effectively eliminate sweat generated during exercise and ensure comfort for long-term wear

Compared with the design of millet bracelet embedded in rice grains, the detachable design of 22mm movable ear can make the combination of the watch body and the strap more firm, thus avoiding the embarrassment of finding only the strap left after a lap

Because of this design, the replacement of watchband can meet the personalized needs of more users. I hope the official can provide a wealth of watchband accessories in the future

There is only one physical key around the watch body, which is equivalent to the power key. Single press on/off the screen, long press on/off

But I want to say something about it: first, it may be for the sake of the beauty of the design, so it is understandable that the keys are too small and the key range is too short. Second, the keys are located in the upper right part of the watch body, which is not easy to operate when moving. It is suggested that the official design team move the keys to the middle of the right side, which may be more consistent with the use habits of watches

Like Xiaomi bracelet, AMAZFIT sports watch also has a special charging seat

It's a pity that the watch uses 4 PIN metal contact charging instead of more convenient magnetic design

It is recommended that the official improve in the next generation of products

At the same time, this is also the intermediary between the watch and the computer, so don't lose it. Ha ha~

Of course, the mobile power supply can also charge it at any time, which is very convenient

As a sports watch, IP67 dustproof and waterproof is a must. Life class waterproof performance is acceptable, so it is not recommended to wear it in the bath. After all, water vapor will damage metal contacts to a certain extent

[Experience&Feeling]

Please quickly browse the hardware parameters again before experiencing

Like most smart bracelets, watches and other devices, AMAZFIT sports watches also have an official app with the same name. It is worth mentioning that the watch cannot enter the system until it is bound to the APP when it is started for the first time, otherwise it will only have a QR code interface and cannot be used

As for why we still need "Xiaomi Sport" and "Mi Sport", we will explain later

The specific pairing method and function settings are similar to each other, so I won't elaborate too much here

The APP is designed with a pure white background. The main interface is simple and easy to understand. There is nothing special to introduce

(PS: At present, the official app only supports the Android version, and the iOS version is still under development)

There are not many built-in applications in the system, such as weather, sports, activities, heart rate, Alipay, music, alarm clock, compass. Currently, it does not support adding third-party APP applications

The watch has 11 built-in dials, which can be switched by one button at the APP end or replaced by sliding the dials by long pressing

However, only 11 types of dials obviously can not meet the user's personalized choice. It is suggested that the official access to the dial market for users to download or open the dial module for users to customize

There are not a few rich reminder functions. It supports SMS, QQ WeChat and various third-party applications to push notifications. It has more text content than Xiaomi bracelet 2

In order to make you see more clearly and understand more easily, I specially found the system logic diagram of a watch from the Internet

As a sports watch, motion monitoring and data recording are naturally the most basic and important functions

At present, there are three built-in sports modes: running, walking and cross-country running. In the future, there will be more sports modes such as cycling and climbing by updating firmware to meet the needs of more sports enthusiasts

AMAZFIT sports watch is internally integrated with GPS+GLONASS dual star positioning system. Through the built-in GPS module of the watch, it receives satellite GPS signals and accurately records professional sports data such as real-time track, mileage, altitude, step frequency and pace, providing a basis for you to analyze, improve and improve your sports level

It is found from the actual measurement that the waiting time for GPS is too long, and the official follow-up software optimization is expected

When I got my watch, I couldn't wait for a 4km running test

During the movement, the dial will display various data in real time: time, step frequency, mileage, heart rate, average pace, pace. It is particularly practical to raise your wrist and light the screen during night running, which is convenient to view data at any time

In any movement state, the movement can be paused or ended at any time

Of course, more detailed data needs to be viewed on the APP, and the form of the chart is clear at a glance

At this point, we need to explain why we still need "Xiaomi Sports" or "Mi Sports"

Because all motion data queries of watches need to be switched to "Xiaomi Sports" or "Mi Sports", that is to say, there is no way to directly query the motion data in the official APP. This is undoubtedly a tedious move, which adds a certain operating cost to users (especially those who use it for the first time). It is recommended that the official integrate relevant resources

In recent years, heart rate monitoring has attracted more and more attention. Some people say that "a bracelet without heart rate function is a rogue", so all major bracelet manufacturers update their products with heart rate monitoring function as standard

Similarly, heart rate monitoring is also very important for a sports watch. AMAZFIT sports watch uses PPG heart rate sensor and self-developed heart rate algorithm to monitor heart rate changes in real time during exercise, adjust the rhythm of exercise through heart rate value, make exercise more scientific and effective, and avoid unnecessary sports injuries

In addition, Huami has done a better job in monitoring the accuracy of heart rate. Many international famous watches cannot avoid the so-called "air heart rate". This problem has been well solved on the Huami AMAZFIT sports watch. It will not misreport the heart rate data when facing non human skin such as air, metal, wood, etc. Users need to stick the bottom of the watch close to the skin to measure, making the measured data more accurate

In recent years, mobile payment has gradually become a research and development hotspot of wearable intelligent devices. The best example is Apple Watch, which supports Apple Pay. Surprisingly, Huami Technology has also achieved "table swiping payment" through in-depth cooperation with Alipay this time! The binding steps are also very simple. After running, you can directly use the watch to buy drinks. It's really refreshing

According to the official introduction of Huami, Huami Sports Watch will also expand more third-party applications to make it suitable for more application scenarios

For many runners, the boring running needs the accompaniment of music. Therefore, many friends need to bring their mobile phones with them when they go out for running, whether they use wired headsets or Bluetooth headsets. From this point of view, the built-in Bluetooth music listening function of Huami AMAZFIT sports watch is particularly powerful, which perfectly fits the concept of "throw away your mobile phone and run", so you can start with light weight!

Officially, Huami Sports Watch can last up to 5 days under normal use; In the pure watch mode, which only looks at the time and steps, the endurance can reach 11.6 days; 35 hours in GPS mode

The product was obtained on September 17, and the first power on was 66%. The first charging was on September 23. During this period, it was used in the pure watch mode, with an average daily power consumption of about 10%, which is roughly the same as the official data

Because of the habit of evaluating mobile phones, let's also give the watch a time consuming test for charging

The watch has a 280 mAH lithium polymer battery, which is a little smaller than similar products on the market. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge the battery. The official did not provide relevant data. In addition, I have no experience in evaluating smart watches, so I don't know what this performance is? But I just need to know that it doesn't need to be recharged every day. I believe this is also what users need

In order to bring better user experience, Huami Technology insists on updating firmware every Friday, which is the same as the MIUI of Xiaomi Technology. It is worthy of being a brother ecological chain enterprise

Well, so many personal experiences will be introduced first. More interesting and interesting points need to be discovered and shared by users. Finally, let's talk about the overall feeling!

From the experience of more than a week, I am quite satisfied with the performance of Huami AMAZFIT sports watch! High appearance ceramic watch ring, powerful GPS module, more accurate heart rate monitoring, all-weather display of traditional watch experience, Bluetooth music listening+watch brushing payment=throw away your mobile phone to run, plus longer endurance than similar products, it can be said that such a configuration, coupled with the price of 799, can no longer be simply described by cost performance! The Xiaomi bracelet 1 with a price of 79 yuan shocked the smart bracelet market and caused a sensation; After that, the 799 Huami AMAZFIT sports watch has become a clean stream of its own, and will carry on the movement to the end. I believe that it will be another "price butcher"!

Admittedly, it has some disadvantages, such as not equipped with wireless charging; The hardware is good, but the software experience can't keep up; Lack of third-party applications; The design and operation experience of the power key are not good enough; GPS waiting time is slightly longer; Lack of colorful watchbands like millet bracelets. After all, the first generation of products cannot be perfect. We hope that the official will listen to the feedback of users carefully, clarify their needs, and develop the next generation of products in a more targeted way!

In a word, for those pure sports lovers who do not pursue professionalism and like to pack light, I just want to say: "Huami AMAZFIT sports watch, you deserve it"!
