Unlike smart phones or other smart hardware, smart wear has gradually entered a stable period after its early rapid development. In this cruel baptism of the market, many once powerful giants have left the market. Pebble, the inventor of smart watches, and Jawbone, the originator of smart bracelets have all fallen into the war. Most of the smart watch manufacturers who survived the war also tend to calm down. Therefore, compared with the blooming of the previous two years, the smart watch products in 2017 are relatively rational and restrained. Love to play computer games United Lei Feng has opened recently 2017 Best Intelligent Product Selection , readers are welcome to take an active part vote Now let's take a look at which smart watches are the most popular in 2017.
Apple Watch Series 3
The Apple Watch Series 3, as the biggest star in the field of intelligent wear by far, has become a powerful force in the field of intelligent wear. Its perfect ecological chain enables the Apple Watch to seamlessly link with other Apple devices. Apple Watch Series 3 is still available in 38mm and 42mm sizes, and has a variety of colors and versions for consumers to choose from. After several generations of development, Apple Watch has been quite perfect. Horizontal screen, navigation, independent wifi, independent application, Taptic Engine, Digital Crown, gyroscope, heart rate sensor, microphone, etc. Among the active smart watches, Apple Watch may not be the best, but it is still the most competitive one.
However, it is slightly embarrassing that the promotion of its cellular data version in China is not smooth. Limited by the cooperation relationship with operators and communication technology, except for the first batch of users to open the service, it is now unable to open the LTE network function. It is said that Apple's business has not passed the review of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Users who have purchased the Apple Watch Series 3 cellular network version can now return the product to Apple for no reason, without the 14 day purchase time limit.
LG Watch Style
Unlike Samsung's efforts to develop its own Tizen system, as a strong supporter of the Android Wear camp, LG's Watch Style is a representative work of the Android Wear camp and the first smart watch equipped with Android Wear 2.0. The round dial, with exquisite workmanship and simple design, is different from the scientific and mechanical style of many smart watches. This smart watch is closer to the appearance design of conventional watches. In addition to its simple and delicate shape, the LG Watch Style, which has a body size of 42.3 * 45.7 * 10.8mm, is one of the smallest models of smart watches at present.
Samsung Gear S3
Although the Gear S3 is not strictly a 2017 product, it is still the flagship model of Samsung smart watches. Unlike other Samsung smart watch products, S3 has a very high appearance and full texture. It is not only Samsung's best looking smart watch so far, but also the S3's shape is still excellent in the trend of smart watches. Although the Tizen system is still used, Samsung has made a lot of improvements. The Gear S3 has a very excellent performance in interactive operation. In addition to the touch screen, S3 can also be operated by rotating the bezel, which is also the current operation mode of smart watches. Compared with touch, S3 can be operated more accurately and is quite practical.
Samsung Gear Sport
Compared with the Gear S3, which has the domineering spirit of "sacrificing myself", the Gear Sport is much more low-key and introverted. As Samsung's flagship smart watch in 2017, Gear Sports continues most of the characteristics of Gear S3, with strong performance and the interaction mode of rotating the bezel+touch screen. It is commendable that it takes into account the external dimensions. The body is only 42.9mm, the strap is also changed from 22mm to 20mm, plus a more youthful and youthful sports style design, Gear series watches are no longer elite accessories that can be controlled by strong arms.
Huawei Watch 2 Pro
After major mobile phone manufacturers launched their own smart watches, Huawei also refused to be outdone. Since entering the field of smart watches, Huawei has always adhered to the design of round dials, and the Watch 2 Pro is no exception. Different from the previous products, the Watch 2 Pro adopts a more elegant traditional watch design. The body part is made of 316L stainless steel, and the watch ring is a ceramic dial. In addition, the leather composite strap makes the overall texture very excellent. In terms of specifications, Huawei Watch2 Pro uses a 1.2 inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 390 × 390. It has 326PPI and is covered with Corning gorilla glass. The display effect is excellent. The processor is Qualcomm Snapdragon 2100 processor with 768MB RAM+4GB ROM.
Fitbit lonic
As one of the largest companies in the wearable smart device market, Fitbit would not give up this market. Lonic is their latest masterpiece. As a substitute for Blaze and Surge, lonic is an unmistakable smart watch. Its appearance continues the consistent design style of Fitbit, and it is similar to Surge as a whole. The rubber strap and square dial design have a full sports watch style, but it is not so like a smart watch. However, apart from its appearance, Lonic is almost unmatched in terms of its sports function records. Built in accelerometers, gyroscopes and GPS, Lonic can track the wearer's walking steps, distance, heat consumption, altitude, etc.
Nokia Things Steel HR
Steel HR still keeps the unique design of Withings, which is also the most special one in this smart watch list. Unlike other products, which use the screen as the display medium, Withings Steel HR is a combination of traditional mobile phones and smart watches, which uses a mechanical eyelet dial as the display mode to show the amount of movement in the form of percentage. However, compared with the previous two generations of "mechanical" to the extreme Activity series, Steel HR added a round sub eye display in the dial, which can display heart rate, steps and other information, which finally gave Withings a trace of "smart watch". However, on the whole, it is still the charm of traditional watches, and users need not worry about looking like a "digital watch".
Go out and ask TicWatch E
Speaking of the representative works of domestic brands, TicWatch, one of the best companies in Chinese speech recognition, has made great achievements in smart watches and smart speakers in the past two years. It not only cooperates with Google to launch TicWatch E/S with Android Wear, but also launches TicHome Mini with Google Assistant, It is currently the Chinese manufacturer that cooperates most closely with Google in the field of intelligent devices. However, in addition to the Google version, it also insists on developing its own proprietary intelligent system, and its domestic version of TicWatch is equipped with its own system. Although the Bank of China version is not supported by Google's ecological chain, TicWatch is still the best in terms of the functionality of smart watches.
LV Tambour Horizon
what? Do you think Apple Watch is the most luxurious smart watch in the world? In front of many luxury brands, Apple can only accept the defeat, among which LV Tambour Horizon is a typical representative. As one of the most successful luxury brands, LV's popularity needs no more words. Compared with its function, Tambour Horizon is more like a symbol of taste and identity. This series of watches also have a strong family style appearance design, which is very elegant and luxurious. Its unique design makes it highly recognizable. The price ranges from $2750 to $3350, equivalent to about 18668-22741 yuan.

These two factors together determine the development trend of smart watches, Before the breakthrough in semiconductor manufacturing process or battery capacity, it is difficult for smart watches to make further leap forward progress. Therefore, most smart watch manufacturers this year are engaged in minor repairs and repairs, focusing more on details, interaction and ease of use.
