I still remember when Apple Watch Series 3 was released, Love to play computer games Immediately placed an order to buy a cellular mobile data version, but the operator has not opened it for a long time, and finally the refund was settled. Since then, we have never thought about going to experience the smart watch product that can call the Internet without a mobile phone. Until recently, because we got the TicWatch Pro 4G smart watch that we asked about when we went out, how was the experience?
In fact, in June this year, I tried to wear the normal version of TicWatch Pro for a while, so I will not repeat the basic experience part. Here are a few highlights: the appearance design is good, very manly and big（ Girls are hard to control ）； The dual screen design is interesting and can ensure the endurance; The performance is OK and will not get stuck; IP68 waterproof, etc.
Anyway, in the process of experiencing the ordinary version, TicWatch Pro can still leave a good impression on me. Apart from being a little too big, there is nothing I am dissatisfied with. Now, the 4G version of eSIM functions have been added, which can be said to be a step up in the original good basic experience.

Open eSIM
The whole process of opening eSIM was relatively simple, but there were some small incidents. I originally intended to use the Shenzhen Unicom number for testing, but in the process of opening up, there was a prompt of "limited service of this phone". I called a special eSIM customer and was told to call 10010. I felt too troublesome at the moment, so I tried using the Shenzhen Mobile number instead, The result was very smooth.
I found a Xiaomi 8 SE to open the eSIM service. Unicom users can only open it on Android phones at present, while mobile users can use both iOS and Android. And the TicWatch Pro 4G version is the first smart watch that supports opening the mobile eSIM service on iOS devices. A total of three apps are required to complete the opening, which are Google Wear OS, go out and ask the client, and multi number apps.
First, use Wear OS to activate the TicWatch Pro 4G version, and then bind it in the go out app. After completing the previous two steps, you can use this watch normally. At this time, you can also open the eSIM service of No. 1 dual terminal in the and multiple numbers.
You can find the "Activate" option on the home page. Follow the prompt to enter the real name, ID card and password to complete the activation. Then the watch will be written into the eSIM information - the watch will be restarted, and it will be OK. At this point, TicWatch Pro 4G can be used as an independent device to answer and make calls.
use
If you are like me, you don't want to put a huge mobile phone in your pocket when you run or go to the gym, and you don't want to check every time WeChat rings, but you are afraid of missing some very important calls（ The person who really wants to find you will not send a WeChat message ）Now, you can wear the TicWatch Pro 4G version.
（ GPS、 Double screen and other selling points are printed on the back of the dial, in addition to charging contacts and heart rate sensors ）
When someone dials your number, your mobile phone and watch will ring at the same time. You can choose a device to answer the call. When you receive a message, it will also appear on both devices. And even if your mobile phone is turned off, when there is a call, it will ring on the TicWatch Pro 4G version. At this time, you can answer it directly on your wrist. So if you don't want to take your mobile phone to run, exercise or vent, you can do so.

In addition to being able to communicate, TicWatch Pro 4G version can also be connected to the Internet independently. Although it does not mean that you should browse the official website of Iooki on this 1.4 inch AMOLED screen to see articles or the like, you can directly use its LTE networking function to download several new songs from the NetEase Cloud music app to listen when there is no mobile phone nearby. Anyway, all networking operations nowadays can be completed by TicWatch Pro 4G version alone even when the mobile phone is not around. It is mature and many things have to be done by oneself（ Dog head smiley face ）。
After a few days of experience, I have to say that smart watches with eSIM function can still be used in many cases, especially when I don't like to go out with a Galaxy Note9 or iPhone XS Max, which is easy to distract my attention, and it is not convenient to move with such a large mobile phone in shorts, and I only wear TicWatch Pro when going out, Not only can we better focus on what we need to do, but it is also excellent to record some physical indicators.
Now you can slide right to open the negative screen, which contains weather information, stock index, real-time news, bus information, holidays and other card information. It is somewhat similar to the negative screen on many mobile phones today. You can view some information you care about from time to time, and these plates can also be customized.
last
In terms of price, the 4G version of TicWatch Pro is 300 yuan more expensive than the regular version（ ¥1,799 vs ¥1,499 ）The price difference has bought convenience in some occasions, which is quite cost-effective in general, because compared with some competing products such as Samsung Gear and Apple Watch, the price difference is very small.

Of course, in addition to eSIM, other selling points of TicWatch Pro are also good, such as a monochrome LCD screen and an AMOLED screen（ 400 x 400，287ppi ）Stacked together, it solves the problem of poor endurance. When the watch is about to run out of power, it can easily adhere to the "durable mode" for several days. Because the power consumption of the monochrome screen is very low, the dual screen design is very interesting.
Payment functions are also available. WeChat payment, Alipay payment and UnionPay card binding almost meet all the payment scenarios users will encounter. However, WeChat payment can only be used on Android phones at present, which is a pity. However, Shenzhen Tong, which was not included in the evaluation of the ordinary version in June, has finally been supported, You don't need to take out the card or mobile phone QR code to get on the car. It's convenient to use a watch directly. In addition, there are various function bonuses, such as AI voice assistant, such as making calls, sending text messages, checking weather conditions, etc., which can help you solve the problem on your wrist.
However, TicWatch Pro is not particularly friendly to the compatibility of iOS devices, such as the inability to make WeChat payments. Of course, this is not a question of going out to ask, but caused by Apple's closeness.
Finally, for all users who want to buy a smart watch, I actually recommend choosing the eSIM version, because in some cases it can really bring a lot of convenience. Of course, the premise of all this is within your ability.
