When it comes to smart watches, I believe that the first thing you think of is probably Apple Watch. In fact, I don't have high requirements for smart watches, as long as the endurance and functions are sufficient. A year ago, I experienced the Weile Xiaohei 2. Although it has no luxurious appearance or too many fancy functions, it has a super long endurance of 30 days, and still wears it today. For domestic smart watches, Weile Xiaohei 2 is definitely a product that has to be mentioned. Now its Weile Xiaohei series has been updated to the third generation. Weile Xiaohei 3 still continues its previous endurance positioning, and has been upgraded to 45 days, reaching a new height that other major manufacturers cannot surpass. It can be regarded as another eye-catching achievement in the field of wear. How does Weile Xiaohei 3 improve in other functions?

Unpacking

The packaging of Weile Xiaohei 3 is still made of environment-friendly hard paper. The shape of Xiaohei 2 is changed from a cuboid to a cube, and the dark black is still used in the color matching, which makes it seem quite stable. On the front of the packing box, there is only the logo of "WeLoop". It is worth noting that the red, green and blue color strips below the logo seem to imply that the small black smart watch has entered a new era of color screen. On the back is the brief information about the product model and origin of Weile Xiaohei 3.

When I opened the package, I saw not the main body of Xiaohei 3, but the green instruction box. The brand logo of "WELOOP", which was hollowed out, looked very stylish.

The box is divided into compartments, and all accessory warehouses are arranged in order, including the main body of Weile Xiaoheisan watch, charger, charging data cable, watchband, etc.

Weile Xiaohei 3 still adopts the current mainstream magnetic adsorption charging mode. The charging base is designed with four metal contacts, with a groove in the middle, which can place the heart rate test module of the watch.

appearance

As an intelligent wearable product, the appearance design is also an important factor to attract users to choose. Compared with Xiaohei 2, the intuitive change in the appearance design of Weile Xiaohei 3 is that the main body of the dial has become square, large, and mellow, without the sharp edges and corners of Xiaohei 2, the slightly curved body is more suitable for the wrist, and the overall design is more sporty.

Weile Xiaohei adopts the material of Xiaohei 2 metal+glass as a whole. The front frame is stainless steel, with good wear resistance, but it is much wider than Xiaohei 2. The frame of the arc design has been treated with a delicate frosting process, which has excellent performance in both hand feel and appearance.

The screen is also one of the biggest upgrades of Weile Xiaohei 3 to Xiaohei 2. The previous monochrome screen has been canceled and Sharp color memory LCD screen has been adopted. The screen size is 1.27, and the resolution is 176 * 176. The black edge control is still unsatisfactory. You can see the obvious big black edges. The screen uses ultra wear-resistant and high-strength 2.5D glass, and the tactile improvement is very obvious, It's much better than Little Black 2.

The biggest feature of the color memory LCD screen of Weile Xiaohei 3 is reflective display, that is, the stronger the light, the clearer the screen display. Therefore, this screen is also used by many high-end outdoor sports watches, and also supports touch operation, which has a good operating experience and improves its value.

In terms of key setting, the four keys of Weile Xiaohei 3 and Xiaohei 2 are reduced to two. Two keys are symmetrically designed on both sides of the watch body, the left side is the return key, and the right side is the menu key. The touch and key dual control mode further improves the convenience of the operation experience. It's just that the comfort of keys is average, the key range is large, and the feedback is stiff.

Weile Xiaohei 3 continues the family style detached wristband design, so users can quickly remove the wristband and change their favorite wristband at will. In order to meet the needs of different user scenarios, Weile Xiaohei 3 also launched wristbands of different colors and materials, providing a wealth of peripheral experience.

The wrist strap in the standard accessory of Weile Xiaohei 3 is a black PU standard wrist strap. The softness is well controlled. There is no stiffness when wearing it. It is also stylish and comfortable. What is worth praising is that there is a vertical pattern design on the inner side of the watchband, which helps to improve the breathability and comfort when wearing.

The author feels that the black watchband is more compatible with the Weile Xiaohei 3, which is the real name. The pure black design, if not switched on, integrates the glass, the watch body and the watchband.

The back is a light heart rate monitoring module and a charging metal contact. The slightly raised heart rate monitoring module can reach a good contact with the wrist, which is conducive to the integrity and accuracy of heart rate detection. Four metal charging contacts are respectively designed in the left and right grooves, which is easy to accumulate sweat and dirt when worn for a long time.

In general, Weile Xiaohei 3 has greatly changed its appearance compared with Xiaohei 2. It adopts a completely different ID design, which fits the wrist radian, round dial 2.5D screen glass, color Sharp memory lCD screen, touch and button dual operation, and only 36g body weight make it easy to wear when moving, without any sense of weight, making the performance of the Violet Little Black 3 more outstanding in terms of appearance and wearing experience.

experience

In terms of functions, Weile Xiaohei 3 has improved a lot compared with Xiaohei 2. It not only continues the intelligent functions of Xiaohei 2 such as call reminder, SMS reminder, music and camera control, but also adds very practical functions such as running training, cycling sports data monitoring and heart rate monitoring, which can not only enable users to obtain more healthy and effective sports, It also makes the user experience more simple and interesting.

Thanks to the reflective screen, which is also a color screen, the display effect of the small black 3 screen is clearer in strong light, such as light or sunlight. In addition, the small black 3 provides backlight, so you don't need to worry about the impact of light intensity.

The design of replaceable dials is one of the characteristics of Weile smart watches, and has always been a favorite feature of users. Because Weile Xiaohei 3 uses a new screen, the dials need to be redesigned. At present, the number of dials that can be replaced is relatively small, and we look forward to adding more cool and fun dials in the future.

The key and touch screen dual control mode is adopted. When the screen is unlocked, the main screen slides up and down to view the time, movement steps, weather, etc.

Under the home screen status, briefly press the left return key to view the connection status, power, and Do Not Disturb switch. It is normally worn for two days. During this period, the functions such as electric reminder and message reminder are normally turned on, and the battery power has dropped by about 5%. The endurance performance can be said to be excellent.

In the home screen state, press the menu key on the right side to display the function interface, and slide left and right to switch the function interface. You can view SMS, monitor heart rate, run training, ride training, stopwatch, countdown, practice music control, change dial, find mobile phone, set and other operations.

SMS and mobile phone call reminder functions are very practical in meetings. When the mobile phone is silent, you can not miss a message or call, but the message reminder screen can only display 40 words, but you can also slide to read the content completely.

Weile Xiaohei 3 provides the remote control camera function, but it cannot adapt to the camera provided by the mobile phone. You need to start the remote control camera in Weile APP in advance to take remote photos and achieve video recording.

In terms of motion monitoring, Weile Xiaohei 3 uses a 9-axis attitude recognition sensor, which can accurately identify various motion data such as running, cycling, swimming, and support more detailed motion data analysis. During running training and cycling training, data such as distance, speed, heart rate and duration can be monitored synchronously.

Weile Xiaohei 3 provides a mobile phone search function. Weile Xiaohei 3 uses Bluetooth connection. The author conducted a simple test. The mobile phone will send out a music sound to remind the user, and Weile Xiaohei 3 also supports the mobile phone loss prevention function. After the function is enabled, if the connection with the mobile phone is disconnected, the watch will remind the user through vibration.

Weile Xiaohei 3 is 30 meters higher than Xiaohei 2 in terms of waterproof. It is very practical for extreme sports enthusiasts who like swimming or diving. It is a piece of cake for waterproof in daily life.

APP

At present, intelligent hardware basically has a supporting APP, which is also a major trend in the development of intelligent hardware. Hardware and software are combined. Weile Xiaohei 3 also has its own supporting APP. Limited to the size of the watch, many operation settings are not convenient to set directly, so APP will give play to its larger use functions.

The software design of Weile APP is very simple. There are four main interfaces: target, movement, device and individual. Each interface highlights data. The target interface allows you to view movement, heart rate, sleep data and activity charts in more detail. The running interface can view each run data and technical support after-sales service.  

The function settings of Weile Xiaohei 3 are all concentrated on the device interface, such as call identification, schedule reminder, message push, alarm clock settings, remote camera, etc. In the basic settings, you can set the wrist turning bright screen, long sitting reminder, weather information, mobile phone loss prevention, motion track, etc. It is worth mentioning that the sensitivity of the wrist turning bright screen is very high.

The personal interface is some personal data and the best exercise record. In addition, Weile Xiaohei 3 can also synchronize data with WeChat Sports, QQ Sports and Apple Health, and synchronize the data on the device to WeChat Sports for ranking.

Charging and endurance

Weile Xiaohei 3 adopts the magnetic adsorption charging mode, because the magnetism has positive and negative phases, so there is no need to worry about reverse connection. According to the official data, it can be used for 48 hours after five minutes of charging. Anyway, it hasn't been charged for half a month since I got the Xiaohei 3. In terms of the endurance, it can reach about 40 days. Even with the increase of heart rate monitoring, the endurance has not decreased. The endurance is very powerful.

summary

After nearly half a month of continuous wearing experience, WeLoop Black 3 shows the same endurance effect as the author expected. Its simple appearance design is more mature and refined than that of Black 2; The functional heart rate detection and 40 day endurance are also far ahead of the similar products of friends. Such performance is rare in the current wearable products, which can meet the needs of young people, sports enthusiasts and light business people. However, some details need further improvement. For example, the screen locking time of Xiaohei 3 is very short. It would be better if you could customize the screen locking time, backlight time and other operations. The other aspect is that the key press operation is particularly stiff, and I hope it can be improved in future versions. Of course, the most important thing is that the price of Weile WeLoop small black 3 is only 488 yuan. It is a cost-effective product in smart watches, and is more inclined to the public experience.
