The hot smart wear market for several years seems to have encountered a bottleneck. MOTO 360 has suspended product updates. The capital chain of Yingqu Technology, a well-known domestic smart watch manufacturer, is tight, and new inWatch products are far away. Although the development of smart watches is not satisfactory, smart bracelets have ushered in another prosperous scene. Due to the popularity of Xiaomi bracelets, Xiaomi has become the second largest manufacturer of wearable intelligent devices in the world, second only to Fitbit.

Since the launch of Xiaomi bracelet, users have never stopped calling for Meizu to launch its smart bracelet. At the Meilan note 5 conference at the end of last year, Meizu finally launched the long-awaited Meizu smart bracelet. Although there was no surprise in the function, Meizu bracelet did make a difference in other aspects.

Simple appearance design

It can be seen that the Meizu bracelet is carefully packed, and the delicate and steady packaging is very suitable for gift giving. On the back is some basic information about Meizu bracelet.

The accessories of Meizu bracelet are relatively simple. There are only instructions and magnetic charging line. The magnetic charging line uses a universal USB interface, so there is no additional charger.

Meizu bracelet continues the consistent style of Meizu products, simple and unique design. Different from other smart bracelet products on the market, Meizu bracelet adopts an integrated design. There is no physical button on the whole body of the bracelet, and there is no need to turn on, turn off, or adjust settings. The only thing you can see is the small raised dot on the front of the bracelet. This dot is not a physical key, but to identify the location of the capacitive key for user convenience.

The built-in LED screen of Meizu bracelet is completely embedded in the wrist strap and displayed through the wrist strap, avoiding direct contact between the plastic screen and the outside world. At present, the common design of the bracelet on the market, and the easiest way to solve it, is to use a hard screen and directly insert it into the soft wrist strap. The author is currently using the millet bracelet 2, which is designed by the latter. The advantage is that different colors of bracelets and wristbands can be replaced, but the disadvantage is that the exposed LED screen is easy to scratch.

On the display, Meizu's bracelet shows pure black on the front when in the rest screen state; When the screen is lit, the display effect is hazy with frosted texture, and the clarity is not as good as Xiaomi bracelet 2. In addition, the display effect of Meizu bracelet is not ideal in the outdoor sunshine.

Meizu bracelet wrist strap is made of soft TPU material, ensuring the comfort of wearing for a long time. It is worth mentioning that the metal clasp of Meizu bracelet is designed by riveting. Compared with fixing the connection by screwing, riveting ensures reliability while taking into account the integrity of the bracelet.

The back of Meizu bracelet is an AMS photoelectric volumetric sensor and a charging metal contact. This sensor can not only monitor the heart rate during exercise, but also monitor the change of the user's heart rate around the clock, but also increase the power consumption, so the author generally does not turn it on by default.

Practical experience

Although Meizu bracelet is different from other smart bracelets in appearance design. However, in terms of functions, it is basically similar to other smart bracelets, mainly including human data monitoring and message reminding.

Meizu Bracelet APP has a very simple interface and clear layout. The account supports flyme account login. The homepage of the software is a commonly used human body data monitoring function, including steps, sleep and heart rate. The settings of the infrequently used message reminder function are placed in the secondary and tertiary menus of the software. In addition to regular step count, Meizu bracelet APP also supports running mode.

Sleep statistics support the statistics of deep sleep, shallow sleep and awake time, and the recorded time of falling asleep and waking up is basically accurate.

With the automatic heart rate monitoring function turned on, Meizu bracelet can monitor and make statistics at different times of the day. However, opening this function will increase the power consumption, so the author generally turns it off by default.

The secondary menu of the software has Meizu bracelet, alarm clock and third-party access functions. The alarm function of the bracelet is to remind the user through the vibration of the bracelet. Compared with the mobile phone alarm, it wakes people up simply and rudely, which is more humanistic. Access to WeChat can synchronize data with WeChat Sports to achieve more accurate step counting function.

Enter the setting page of Meizu bracelet, you can set some reminder functions of Meizu bracelet. It includes target reminder, call reminder, SMS reminder, mobile phone search, intelligent reminder and other functions. Although Meizu bracelet supports phone, SMS, WeChat and QQ reminders, it is only displayed as icons. For example, the phone does not support contact names.

Let's focus on the function of raising the hand to display the time, which is also the most commonly used function of using the smart bracelet. The Meizu bracelet's function of raising the hand to display the time supports the adjustment of sensitivity. High sensitivity means that the probability of false triggering also increases, which is a difficult degree to grasp. Meizu bracelet lets users choose the adjustment of sensitivity. In addition, the function of raising the hand to display the time supports the opening of user-defined time periods, which is very important. Users use this function basically in the daytime. Taking myself as an example, it is difficult to fall asleep at night. Turning over is very easy to trigger the display time function to affect sleep. Customizing the time period solves this problem well.

In terms of endurance, if the heart rate monitoring function is turned off, the endurance of Meizu bracelet can reach about 12 days, which belongs to the upper middle level. However, compared with the 15 day endurance of Xiaomi Bracelet 2, it is slightly inferior. In terms of charging, Meizu bracelet uses a simple and convenient magnetic interface to charge it, which can be fully charged in about an hour. In terms of waterproof, Meizu bracelet is IP67 waterproof. In daily use, you need not take it off and worry about water ingress.

Write at the end  

I think that wearable intelligent products are not only digital products that can be worn on the body, but also a motion monitoring tool. More importantly, we should think about why we should wear digital products. Meizu bracelet H1 has excellent appearance design, accurate monitoring function and comfortable wearing experience. It is one of the few outstanding products in the smart bracelet market at present, and has gradually become a part of my life. Although Meizu's bracelet has just started, Apple and Huami Technology have made efforts in the field of human data and general health, adding more valuable health sign signal tests, which is also the direction Meizu should make efforts in the field of wearable intelligent devices.
