In 2017, Huawei made frequent moves in the field of smart phones. The two flagship series P10 and Mate10 appeared successively. The latter was equipped with a Kirin 970 processor containing Cambrian AI chips, which was the first time that a domestic mobile phone manufacturer equipped AI functions in smart phones. In contrast, Huawei has kept a much lower profile in the field of intelligent wear. This year, there was no major product release, but it has brought some highly practical products, such as today's product, Huawei Bracelet B3 Youth Edition.

The youth version of Huawei bracelet B3 continues the traditional style of Huawei bracelet. It can be used as a Bluetooth headset and is also a smart bracelet. The positioning of this bracelet is slightly lower than that of Huawei's B3 bracelet, but it is more fashionable and lightweight in appearance.

The wrist strap is made of TPU material, which has the characteristics of anti allergy, flexibility, durability, etc., and is available in black, red, orange, blue, green and other colors.

The wrist strap provides up to 11 keyholes, and most of the thick and thin arms can be worn normally without changing the strap.

The 0.91-inch screen can not only display time, steps, calorie consumption and other data, but also display notifications. When the phone receives a message notification, it will vibrate and display the corresponding content.

In terms of functionality, it continues the design of Huawei's bracelet integrated Bluetooth headset. It has a built-in Bluetooth headset module, which is stored in the wrist strap when the bracelet is in the form of a bracelet, which is convenient to carry around. When the phone calls, the headset module is put in the ear, that is, it turns into a Bluetooth headset.

In terms of call effect, it uses 20 channel EQ equalizer+echo cancellation technology+speaker plus independent rear cavity sound cavity design+intelligent DSP noise reduction technology to ensure the call effect. The official claims that it can ensure the loudness and clarity of the call sound while eliminating noise.

The body is combined with the watch strap in a snap type. After the top is inserted into the case, the interface at the bottom of the body can be fixed with the snap. There is a button on the side of the fuselage, and a noise reducing microphone is located above the button. This button is a function switch under normal circumstances. When there is an incoming call, it is a connect/hang up button.

Inside the body are silicone earmuffs that are easy for one ear to wear. There is no hard support structure inside the earmuffs, so they are relatively soft and can be easily matched. The silicone ring on the top can fit the auricle to help fix it and prevent it from falling.

The lower part of the fuselage is a MicroUSB interface for charging, with a charging cable attached. This interface is also common in daily life. On both sides of the MicroUSB interface are call microphones. The bottom edge of the MicroUSB interface also plays the role of combining with the buckle inside the watch case.

The overall body is still very small, not much different from the body part of the normal bracelet, and the weight is also within the acceptable range. As a practical Bluetooth headset, it will not fall off easily.

In terms of battery life, Huawei Handband B3 Youth Edition has a battery capacity of 91mAh, and supports a talk time of about 6 hours. It works for 3.5 days in a typical working scenario, and has a standby time of about 7 days.

In terms of applications, it supports adaptation with Huawei wearables, which is also the client of all Huawei intelligent wearables, and can connect multiple intelligent wearables at the same time. Binding is very simple. After selecting the bracelet in Bluetooth, it will automatically switch to Huawei wearable, and users can complete the binding with a few clicks.

In terms of application design, the overall style is quite simple, and all data can be clearly displayed in front of you, which is very easy to use. The overall interface design has a sense of texture, with dark colors as the main colors, gradient colors and delicate stripes, giving a good first impression.

In terms of use, the machine adopts a left row drawer that conforms to Android design specifications. All contents and settings are placed in the drawer, which performs well in terms of appearance and convenience. Compared with a large number of domestic applications that do not comply with design specifications, the design of Huawei wearable applications is a clean stream.

In addition to Huawei wearables, you can also jump to Huawei Health with one click. The data of wearables are also shared with Huawei Health. Health applications include not only the data measured by wearables, but also the data measured by mobile phones. After calculation, the two together constitute the daily amount of exercise, which is more accurate than the measurement of a single device.

In addition to recording data, the health application can also enter sports data, such as running, cycling, swimming, etc. In addition, it also provides some exercise courses and exercise plans. Users who do not like to go to the gym can do some appropriate exercises according to the courses.

Huawei mobile phones have also made some adaptations for smart wearable devices. In addition to the just mentioned Huawei Wearing and Wearing as a health application, it also supports such small functions as pulling out the Bluetooth headset and lighting the screen, which is more considerate.

summary

As a once popular smart wearable product, the smart bracelet seems to have a cold trend in 2017. The bankruptcy and liquidation of the original manufacturer Jawbone raised the alarm. Only the manufacturers with real strength, characteristics and ecosystem can really survive. Huawei not only has the support of the ecosystem, but also adheres to the differentiation path. The product form of Bluetooth headset+bracelet is still unique in the industry. This design not only improves the functionality of the smart bracelet, but also solves the storage problem of the Bluetooth headset, which is quite practical.

As a lightweight product of Huawei Bracelet B3, B3 Youth Edition has changed its appearance from "jazz" to a younger and sportier style. Although the youth version has a lower configuration, it also has a higher cost performance ratio. It is suitable for young users who love sports, need Bluetooth headsets, and have a low budget.
