In the field of intelligent wearable devices, the Xiaomi bracelet has always been a leading product in the market with excellent cost performance and complete functions. Except that the high-end market is controlled by Samsung's Gear Fit and Jiaming's products, there are few competitors. But recently, the black plus bracelet, which has been put on the market for crowdfunding in Xiaomi, is not inferior to Xiaomi's bracelet in function and price. Does it have a chance to become a strong challenger of Xiaomi's bracelet? Let's have a look.
Appearance design
The outer packaging of the black plus bracelet is similar to that of Xiaomi's products, both of which use pure white as the main color. In addition to the product rendering, the front also marks the logo of the product and has access to the Mijia control app. The bottom is printed with product related parameter information as usual, and several important selling points are specially marked: NFC, heart rate detection, notification and reminder, and 50 meter waterproof capability.
Similar to other bracelets, the black plus bracelet basically consists of three parts: the charger, the core part of the bracelet and the silica gel watchband. The core part and the watchband can be separated, and they are closely combined. It takes a lot of effort to remove them.
The overall performance of the silicone strap of the black plus bracelet is very similar to that of the millet bracelet 3, which provides an adjustment range of eight holes. It is basically enough for most users' wrists, and the skin like treatment makes them perform well.
Back to the core part of the bracelet, there is nothing surprising about its overall shape. The Black Plus bracelet is equipped with a 0.95-inch AMOLED color screen with a resolution of 240x120, which also supports touch operation. Below the screen is a touch button. Compared with the Xiaomi bracelet 3, the biggest advantage of the black plus bracelet is that the font rendering is much better, at least it does not look so serious burr.
Flip over to the back, you can see the optical heart rate sensor module. The two above are charging shocks, because they are not arranged on the side like Xiaomi bracelet 3. It does not need to be removed from the watch strap during daily charging to realize "no disassembly" charging.
In general, the black plus bracelet is very close to the millet bracelet 3 in terms of appearance design and wearing feeling, and the gap between the two is not large. The advantage of black plus is that it is more convenient for screen display and daily use charging.
App Features
The Black Plus bracelet needs to synchronize data with the Black Plus app. It can be seen in the app that the biggest advantage of Black Plus is the addition of NFC, so it has realized the functions of simulated traffic card and access control card, which is temporarily impossible for Xiaomi bracelet 3, and it needs to wait until the later NFC version. The Black Plus bracelet supports three categories of Shenzhen Tong, Lingnan Tong and Beijing Tianjin Hebei Interchange cards, and will open support from other cities later; According to the official instructions, the access card supports the simulation of unencrypted access cards with a frequency of 13.56MHz. Several access cards in the author's hands failed to simulate successfully because of encryption.
In the health project, you can view the number of steps, mileage, calories consumed, heart rate status and sleep status that day. The data is relatively complete, but the measured heart rate is basically 15 to 20 times faster per minute, and the automatic detection of heart rate cannot set the interval time. I hope these can be improved in the later update. Notifications can be enabled for different apps, but no more customization options are available.
Other settings are basically for some specific options of the bracelet, such as the function of raising the wrist to light the screen, sorting and adjusting applications, and displaying the weather conditions around. One of the things that makes people unclear is that the opening time of the screen is fixed from 8:00 a.m. to 22:00 p.m., and cannot be set separately, which is somewhat embarrassing.
Actual performance
The brightness of the black plus bracelet screen is not mentioned officially, and the actual performance is basically satisfactory. In the daytime, you don't need to block the screen with your hands to see the display clearly. The default dial will display the time, steps, heart rate and calories consumed, which can be replaced through the app. The official said that the firmware update in September will bring custom dials, providing more personalized options.
Click to enter the secondary menu, which is arranged vertically. You can view the card bag, weather, heart rate, alarm clock and other contents separately on the bracelet. Even if there is no mobile phone, you can also independently record the data related to work. However, it is not clear whether it is because the firmware is not optimized well, and it is slightly stuck when sliding, and there are a few false touches.
In addition to the addition of NFC, another highlight of the Black Plus bracelet is that it can also access the Mijia app. As long as the corresponding scenario is set in the Mijia app, it can be directly opened through the bracelet, which is an attractive selling point for users who already have the Mijia bucket product at home. In terms of endurance, the official said that it can last for 18 days. The actual measurement shows that it is about 5% a day when there are few notifications, about 10%~15% a day when the automatic heart rate is turned on and there are many notifications. It is no problem to maintain a week's endurance.
summary
The goal of Xiaomi crowdfunding for the launch of Heijia bracelet has been achieved. The NFC and heart rate detection equipped with Heijia bracelet and Xiaomi bracelet 3 NFC version make it one of the most versatile bracelets in the market at present. The overall experience of the black plus bracelet can be said to be satisfactory at this price. If you want to find fault, there are naturally shortcomings, such as slightly slow wrist lifting and screen lighting, fixed time settings, slightly faster heart rate detection, and the heart rate detection time cannot be customized. However, considering the price of 229 yuan, what kind of bicycle is it. Compared with Xiaomi bracelet, the highlight of Heijia lies in the AMOLED color screen, Mijia's access, and customized dial. The choice depends on individual needs.
