As an old Lexin user, I was impressed by its smart bracelet with its ease of use and user-friendly settings. The bracelet I have been using is the ZIVA launched last year. Interested friends can see my experience article last year《 Comfortable and easy to use, Lexin Ziva smart bracelet with humanized design 》。 Now Lexin has launched a new product, ZIVA Plus. What are the differences between this product and ZIVA? Fortunately, I mentioned the trial opportunities offered by the company, which gave me the opportunity to experience ZIVA Plus. Thanks for the trial products provided by the platform and Lexin manufacturers.

The packaging of ZIVA last year is where I complained. A small bracelet uses a large packaging box. The package of ZIVA Plus is from the original flat rectangular box, with black as the bottom and gold as the decoration. The front is the product name, and the back is marked with the product features. ZIVA Plus has two colors, blue and gold, which are officially called Faith Color and Burning Color. What I received was the burning color, which coincided with the gold packaging.

What do you think is the biggest difference between ZIVA Plus and ZIVA? Many people may think that the ZIVA Plus screen is larger and the wrist strap is wider. Indeed, the change in external changes is obvious, but I think the difference in interaction is the biggest change. ZIVA Plus can slide up and down the screen to display different contents, while ZIVA can only move down or click the touch area on the screen to operate. Such improvement is closer to the operation of smart watches, and significantly improves the operation efficiency and ease of use.

ZIVA Plus is bigger, but thinner than ZIVA. The smart bracelet is limited by its size, which is slightly thicker than the smart watch. The main body of ZIVA Plus is made of metal, and its workmanship and feel are much better than those of plastic. The large screen consumes more power, but the life of the ZIVA Plus is longer than that of the ZIVA. The life of the continuous heart rate monitoring is also 10 days when it is turned on, and an amazing 60 days when it is turned off.

The wrist strap of ZIVA Plus is made of TPU material, not ZIVA cowhide. In terms of material, TPU is inferior to cowhide, but in terms of practicality, TPU is more suitable for sports bracelets. Although ZIVA also supports waterproof, cowhide can't soak in water, and ZIVA Plus supports IP68 waterproof. No matter sweating in sports or washing hands at ordinary times, you don't need to take off the bracelet. The buckle design is easier to wear with one hand, and the extra fixing ring also makes the bracelet less offset during movement and more comfortable.

ZIVA Plus retains the design of easy detachable Le Xin bracelet and USB plug-in charging, which can easily remove the wrist strap. One detail change is very nice. The ZIVA Plus is not only marked on the USB charging port, but also the width of the sockets on both sides is different. What bothers me most when I use ZIVA is that the two sides are often inserted reversely. This improvement shows that the manufacturer is very careful to control the details.

From the front, the ZIVA Plus screen displays more information and has higher brightness. I didn't check the specific screen PPI of the two. From the perspective of display effect, it feels the same. They are both slightly rough and can't be compared with smart watches. Although both are equipped with optical heart rate detection, ZIVA plus uses the new generation of heart rate sensor from Silicon Labs in the United States, which has lower power consumption and higher accuracy.

In addition to hardware factors, the experience of supporting APP is also very important. The Lexin Sports APP is very simple to use. There are detailed prompts for each step of operation. Even if it is used for the first time, it will not be difficult. After connecting, there are also instructions with pictures and texts. Lexin Sports APP can bind multiple devices, but only one active device can synchronize data.

The functions of the smart bracelet are not too different, ZIVA Plus has the functions of sleep and motion monitoring, alarm clock, and information reminders such as long sitting, messaging, and WeChat. When using ZIVA, my favorite night mode and screen customization functions are also retained. Screen customization can not only select the items I like to display, but also sort them by myself, which is very user-friendly. ZIVA Plus has heart rate warning and custom dial. If the movement center rate is too high, it will vibrate the prompt to avoid accidents.

Custom dials are common in smart watches and rare in smart bracelets. ZIVA Plus can also be said to be a light smart watch. There are six dials to choose from. I prefer the second and fourth dials. What kind do you like?

The exercise data on ZIVA needs several displays of heart rate, steps, distance, and calories, which can be displayed on one screen of ZIVA Plus. For sports enthusiasts who don't like to carry mobile phones, it is convenient to view sports data directly on the bracelet after sports. Note: Because I run at night, it is not convenient to take photos outside at night. This is taken at home after sports, so the pace is not displayed.

ZIVA Plus can automatically identify the tracking of walking, running and swimming, or manually enter walking and running modes by pressing the screen. The manual mode can select GPS trackless or trackless. The bracelet itself does not have a GPS module, and you need to link your mobile phone to obtain GPS data. After the phone is synchronized, you can not only view the detailed data of the current movement, but also present your personal movement in the form of daily/weekly/monthly reports.

Because I just had a baby at home, my sleep is really bad recently. ZIVA Plus has recorded my sleep status for this period of time. Look at the report, I am seriously sleep deprived! The report function of Lexin APP is relatively perfect, and specific time will be displayed when you move on the chart data.

The larger the screen is, the more content can be displayed. The received SMS and WeChat alerts can display more text on one screen, and the readability is better. This also solved the embarrassment that ZIVA would not display long text after reading it.

summary

I have given a high evaluation of ZIVA's performance, but after more than a week of experience, I have completely abandoned ZIVA and fell in love with ZIVA Plus. ZIVA Plus is not just a simple way to make the screen bigger on the surface. Both hardware and software have been upgraded. The bracelet operates smoothly, and the screen touch is very sensitive, making great progress compared with ZIVA. The new generation heart rate sensor of Silicon Labs in the United States, together with the new AccuHR heart rate measurement system, can accurately record in complex environments. Although the difference between ZIVA Plus and ZIVA is not very large, ZIVA Plus should be more accurate. With comprehensive functions, ease of use, and comfortable wearing, I can't find much to be picky about, except for the slightly low screen resolution. If we have to say the disadvantage, it is that the price of 499 yuan is far higher than other brands of smart bracelets. In particular, the newly released Huawei sports bracelet can be said to be the strongest competitor of ZIVA Plus. Its functions and positioning are very similar to ZIVA Plus, but the price is only 299 yuan. Although ZIVA Plus is an excellent product, its final market performance has yet to be tested.
