After Xiaomi bracelet opened the era of 100 yuan bracelet, the popularity of smart bracelet has soared many times in two years, and everyone has begun to forget the era when the bracelet was always close to 1000 yuan. However, it may be that Fitbit, an old brand smart bracelet manufacturer, was originally positioned at the high-end. Two years ago, it thought that it would be significantly impacted by this. It is still a big brother in the smart bracelet market. Charge is the series with the largest sales volume of fitbit. After Charge and Charge HR, Charge 2 was released on August 19. Before the evaluation is completed, let's take a look at it.
Packaging and accessories
The outer packaging of fitbit Charge 2 is a very detailed product introduction, which uses a special "drawer box". Pull out the outer layer, open the magnetic cap, and the machine will lie quietly. Each accessory has a handle for easy picking up. The whole unpacking process is as simple and comfortable as opening a gift.
The accessories of Fitbit Charge 2 are very simple. In addition to the machine body, there are only charging lines, safety instructions and instruction cards printed with the website.
Appearance and workmanship
The official fitbit provides a total of four colors, black/blue/purple/sky blue, and black and lavender with special diamond patterns, while we get the sky blue Fitbit Charge 2. The front of the machine is a pure black panel, and the outside of the watchband is a high-density diamond pattern. The buckle with frosted surface is printed with logo. The material is different from the watchband. It has slight color difference and is slightly hard. Sadly, this material is easier to change color than the watchband. After half a month of use, it has turned yellow to some extent.
The Fitbit Charge 2 screen only occupies about half of the main body area, and is not symmetrically placed. Fortunately, the screen body is dark enough to avoid the large gray screen problem of low-end mobile phones.
Fitbit Charge 2 adopts a metal frame, and the thickness control is general. On the left side of the fuselage is the mode switch button, which is also the power on/restart button.
Main part and watchband
Fitbit Charge 2 is the first product in the charge series to use a replaceable watch strap. It can solve the previous durability problems such as degumming and aging by changing the watch strap. This improvement is an important reason why many computer users began to consider Fitbit Charge 2. After all, no one wanted such an expensive bracelet to be scrapped after a few months.
The machine is fixed in the form of sliding buckle, sliding into the slot from the inside to the outside for fixation, and pressing the inside buckle can remove the watch strap, which is simple and violent in design. Although this design leads to the poor fit between the body and the strap, the tightness is acceptable without too much weight increase.
There is no pattern on the inner side of the watchband. The rubber watchband is soft. The handle of the fine sanding treatment on the inner side should be good first.
Comparison of Xiaomi bracelet 2, Fitbit Charge 2, Apple Watch and ticwatch2 heart rate sensors
The back of the fuselage is one of the biggest selling points of Fitbit Charge 2's heart rate sensor, which is not only huge but also prominent. The receiver module in the middle is several circles larger than that of similar products. The light-emitting LEDs at the upper and lower ends, even without the scattering optical structure of Apple Watch, are also conspicuous.
The middle frame of the Fitbit Charge 2 body is made of metal. The authentication information of the electronic device is hidden at the interface. On the upper side of the back, the plastic part also hides the opening of the air pressure sensor. The overall workmanship of the machine is pretty good. The connection between the screen and the back heart rate sensor and the metal middle frame is very close, giving a very resistant impression of making acquaintances.
Charging and maintain
Fitbit Charge 2 can persist for 5 days while maintaining Bluetooth connection and heart rate detection day and night, but the charging line is relatively "primitive". Instead of using magnetic adsorption, it is simply fixed with a rack, and the scores are clipped in both the front and the back, which is not as comfortable and simple as the normal smart bracelet/watch, and even more troublesome than the simple plug-in line of the first generation Charge.
Wear and contrast
Fitbit Charge 2, 42mm dial Apple Watch and Xiaomi bracelet 2
Fitbit series products have always used a wide watchband. Fitbit Charge 2 maintains the same width as the original fitbit Charge. The watchband width is close to that of the Apple Watch with a 24mm watchband, and is a section wider than the ticwatch2 with a 20mm watchband width.
In front of the conventional Xiaomi bracelet 2, the watch strap of Fitbit Charge 2 is much more conspicuous.
However, the horizontal abundance has resulted in a shorter length, allowing Fitbit Charge 2 to fit more closely to the wrist. The thickness and protrusion control are better than Xiaomi Bracelet 2. The wearing feel is mainly affected by the following three factors:
Weight and weight distribution, The Fitbit Charge 2 with a metal middle frame and a wide watchband is not light, but the weight distribution is relatively uniform, but there is still a certain drag feeling when turning the wrist at high speed;
appearance ， The back of the Fitbit Charge 2 body does not fit the radian of the wrist, but the protruding heart rate sensor will be embedded in the wrist (try to ensure that the heart rate detection is not affected by external light and shaking), and "prop up" the entire bracelet (reduce the contact area);
Air permeability, Protruding The heart rate sensor and the hardness of the wide strap make the Fitbit Charge 2 actually "hang in the air" at ordinary times. The contact surface is mainly one or two positions of the heart rate sensor and the strap. Even if the strap has no grooves and holes, it has good air permeability;
Fitbit Charge 2 is very comfortable to wear. Even if you are sweating heavily, its wearing feeling is not inferior to that of Xiaomi bracelet, a narrow watch strap and light weight bracelet. This is really good. Unless the corner of the screen presses down on the table, the foreign object feeling is very slight. Of course, it is estimated that no one will wear the bracelet like this, and when Fitbit Charge 2 is worn like this, it will just be held by the heart rate sensor, which will be quite uncomfortable. In addition, it should be noted that the size indication on the official website should be clear before purchase. The L size is too large, and the author, who is 180 tall and thin, can hardly bring the L size
