In the past two years, as a common device in intelligent wearable devices, smart bracelets have become more and more familiar. However, the current bracelets are mainly functional. The stereotyped rectangular display screen+TPU wrist strap has seriously affected the desire of beautiful girls to use them. Today, the author will introduce a smart bracelet with high appearance and practical functions - Xinli eTimer G2.

Smart bracelet from Xinli? Isn't Xinli a calculator manufacturer? There may be many people who have such questions or are not familiar with Xinli, so the author will briefly introduce this brand. Sinley Group was founded in Hong Kong in 1978. It was listed in Hong Kong in 1991 and has five wholly-owned subsidiaries registered in mainland China with a registered capital of 500 million US dollars. It is China's largest professional manufacturer of vehicle mounted smart displays and China's largest manufacturer of key components for smart phones.

1、 Hardware

ETimer G2 bracelet comes from Xinli Intelligent Product Center, which is the R&D department of Xinli Semiconductor Co., Ltd., engaged in intelligent product development. As the saying goes, relying on the strong hardware advantages of the group, the Xinli Intelligent Product Center has gathered a variety of unique technologies to bring a distinctive eTimer G2 bracelet.

The round dial is the most striking part of eTimer G2. When you touch it, you feel that it is round and smooth. What kind of ways are there? It turns out that the eTimer G2 bracelet is made of all ceramic materials. Yes, it's the same ceramic body as the popular Xiaomi MIX mobile phone. It's a bracelet that can shake off the plastic body.

When you touch the screen, you will feel sensitive and smooth. ETimer G2 adopts the revolutionary nano screen protection technology unique to Sinley, and optical grade diamond-like carbon coating, which has better scratch resistance, and is also free from fingerprints and oil stains.

ETimer G2 adopts the strap design of traditional watches. The outer layer is fine wear-resistant super fiber leather, and the inner layer is comfortable skin friendly leather. The wrist design is simple and capable, and comfortable to wear, making eTimer G2 become a fashionable wrist watch.

Compared with 7.9mm thick mobile phones, eTimer G2 is slightly thicker. If only it could be made thinner.

Look, the back of the bracelet is as smooth as jade. The two metal contacts are charging ports, which fit into the metal of the charging base of the magnet. There is also an ingenious small design. There are two protruding points on the base, which are just inserted into the screw holes on the bracelet, playing the role of alignment and fixation. The battery capacity of eTimer G2 is 80mAh, which can be fully charged in more than one hour.

2、 Software

ETimer G2 supports IOS and Android systems, and the Android platform is tested this time. Scan the QR code on the manual, follow the official account of Xinli Intelligent Product Center, or search eTimer G2 in each major application market to download the bracelet APP. However, Xinli's APP is a bit confusing. Different bracelets correspond to different APPs, which makes people dazzled and increases the difficulty of later maintenance. The signal strength icon in the binding bracelet is the same as the common WIFI icon, which is a bit confusing.

After the bracelet is successfully connected, you will be prompted to open the application service, otherwise SMS and notifications will not be prompted. After opening the service, it is also necessary to lock eTimer G2 in memory cleaning to prevent it from being cleaned, and add the APP to the whitelist in power saving management.

ETimer G2 can set three groups of alarm clocks and select the alarm cycle, which is similar to the setting of Android phones. As a bracelet specially made for women, it has a physiological cycle reminder function to avoid embarrassing events caused by forgetting the date.

Of course, the exercise function of the bracelet is indispensable. You can set the step counting, running goals and time phased reminders. You can view the movement data of the day or display a column chart by day/week/month for comparison.

The sleep monitoring function is the same as the motion monitoring interface, but it lacks weekly viewing. In the settings, you can turn on the call reminder, notification reminder, long sitting reminder, low battery reminder, disconnection reminder, do not disturb reminder, or turn off the wrist flip light screen, sports health monitoring, access WeChat sports, update the bracelet firmware, restore factory settings, etc.

3、 Experience& Summary

The eTimer G2, which is positioned as a new fashion in the city, is not too good for its beauty in the smart bracelet. ETimer G2 provides a total of four body and strap colors, which are fashionable and versatile. This time, I experienced the black gold color matching, and the same color matching was also used for the adjacent 1MORE headset, which is also popular this year.

Craftsman · heart, create the beauty of women. Special quality defines women's beauty. When girls see eTimer G2, they will be fascinated by its appearance; When boys see eTimer G2, they will marvel at its delicacy. The watchband's skin contact surface is genuine leather, which is comfortable, but it is difficult to wear it by one hand; Moreover, the distance between the watchband holes is slightly larger, and whether the tightness is appropriate depends on luck. The girl who had this experience was unlucky. One space was too loose and one space was too tight. If the hole spacing could be adjusted a little smaller, it would be easier to fit her wrist.

Misfit Ray、eTimer G2、 The three models of Lexin Ziva can be said to represent three different design concepts of today's smart bracelets. The non screen Misfit Ray is the main fashion, eTimer G2 gives consideration to both appearance and practicality, and Lexin Ziva focuses more on functionality. The front face of eTimer G2 is not only high in appearance, but also has a 0.48-inch OLED screen resolution of 72x32. The display is fine without obvious sawtooth, and the effect is much better than that of ordinary bracelets.

The sensitive touch of eTimer G2 also brings a good interactive experience. The disadvantage is that the screen size is relatively small. ETimer G2 can set which application messages to receive, and can only set important APP information prompts, which is more user-friendly. SMS messages and application messages will be read and stored in the bracelet. One message can display up to two screens. Except for contacts and application names, the actual content displayed is relatively small; In order to read the information content, it is necessary to ensure that the APP runs in the background of the mobile phone, which brings a lot of inconvenience. Personally, I think it's better to read the message in the notice bar directly with a prompt like other bracelets.

In more than a week of experience, eTimer G2 has opened the message prompt and sports monitoring, and the endurance is about 7 days. The Joy Ziva on hand can also have 5-6 days of endurance after opening the heart rate detection, and the unhappiness rate can be detected for up to a month; In contrast, the endurance performance of eTimer G2 is relatively ordinary.

Summarize the advantages and disadvantages, and put forward some suggestions.

advantage:

1. High appearance, fashionable and versatile.
2. The bracelet is made of ceramic material with good hand feel; High screen resolution and sensitive touch.
3. Magnetic suction charging is convenient.
4. IP68 level protection, nano materials can also prevent fingerprints and oil stains.

Disadvantages:
1. The APP experience is not very good, such as the signal icon, the saved icon after the alarm setting, etc., which are easily misunderstood, and there is no specific digital percentage display of power.
2. The sleep monitoring function needs to be strengthened. If the bracelet is removed and placed, it will be mistaken for sleep.
3. For Android APP, the message indicates that the program needs to be normally opened in the background.
4. The viewing interface of movement and sleep monitoring is not intuitive enough. Although the 24-hour situation of the day is subdivided, the data in recent days cannot be displayed intuitively.
5. There is no cloud storage for data. If you delete the APP or change your phone, there will be no data.
6. There will be a delay of about 1 second when you lift your wrist to light up the screen. You can't lift and look at it at once.

Suggestion:

1. Strengthen UI design, improve the form of data display, and optimize the interactive experience of APP.
2. Sleep monitoring sets the monitoring period to avoid the embarrassment of showing sleep when you leave your hand, so as to improve the monitoring effect.
3. The Do Not Disturb Reminder plus the enabling period will automatically enter the Do Not Disturb Reminder during the rest time. It is more appropriate to change the name to Do Not Disturb mode.
4. When movement and sleep are displayed by day/week/month, the last day of the month is displayed in the interface, and it is better to directly display the column data of the day.
4. It would be better if the outer ring of the screen was removed, and the entire front was a display area.
6. Increase cloud storage; Provide online feedback submission channels to facilitate understanding user needs and finding bugs, improve firmware and APP.

Since eTimer G2 was launched shortly, there were some bugs, such as some Android models could not change and save their avatars, and it was invalid to turn off the disconnected shock. During the mass test, the staff of Sinley had also been collecting feedback from everyone, and the new firmware had repaired the bugs. As a large factory, Xinli's strength in hardware research and development needs no doubt, but as a newcomer in intelligent products, it still needs efforts in software.

ETimer G2 supports common alarm clock, movement sleep monitoring, message reminding functions, and unique physiological cycle reminding functions. It supports wrist lift to light up the screen and screen interaction. If the software deficiencies can be improved, eTimer G2 with high appearance and sufficient functions will be a good smart bracelet for ordinary women.
