Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to the body, fitness, running, and various aerobic and anaerobic exercises. When exercising, people will also use some auxiliary equipment to help themselves to better exercise.

Normally, ordinary bracelets and smart watches can do these things well, but what if you need to do some more extreme sports? Most intelligent wearable devices may not be suitable for this scenario, but you can deal with more complex environments by going out and asking about the recently launched TicWatch S2.

appearance

In terms of design, it is no different from a sports watch. This time, we got a full black color match. The diameter of the watch is 46.6mm, and the width of the strap is 22mm. As a boy, it is quite manly to wear it on the hand, but it seems that it is not very suitable for girls. Fortunately, the watch is still very light. The weight of 35g, in fact, will not be very tired after wearing it for a long time.

Although the appearance of TicWatch S2 is not very outstanding, its special feature is its material. Its appearance is made of glass fiber reinforced polyamide, and it is made according to the military standard MIL-STD-810G. It is cold resistant, impact resistant and moisture resistant. However, I don't often go to Himalaya or Sahara Desert to explore, so I can't test the reliability of S2 very well, But I believe it should not be too bad.

In addition to the hard shell, which can cope with complex environments, S2 also supports 5ATM waterproof, which can withstand up to 50 meters underwater pressure. It is OK to wear it to dive. However, for most people, the main application scenario is swimming, and 90% of users can use this waterproof specification.

Back of dial, charging metal contact and sensor.

There is a multi-functional key on the left side of the dial, and the surface is textured, so you can quickly find the key position.

The rubber strap is very comfortable to wear.

TicWatch S2 is equipped with a 1.39 inch AMOLED display screen with a resolution of 400 × 400 and 287ppi. Generally, the watch will not look very close, so it is still quite eye-catching. For me, who is used to wearing Apple Watch Series 2, the dial of TicWatch is still very large, and it is more comfortable for my eyes to see things.

From the overall design, TicWatch S2 is not said to be very eye-catching, but this watch is positioned in sports, so it is understandable. After all, if you go out to participate in extreme sports, you can't wear a Rolex in your hand.

Function&Experience

As a smart watch, TicWatch S2 will cover almost all the functions that can be thought of, and there is no need to worry about daily use.

When TicWatch S2 is usually worn on the hand, the screen will not go out completely. The pointer is black and white. When the wrist is raised, the dial will return to color. In this way, you can see the time even without lifting the hand, and it will not consume special power. Because the power consumption of AMOLED is very low when a large area is black.

The whole experience is also very pleasant. Because S2 is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon W2100 platform and 512MB of memory, there is basically no jam. I have also downloaded many apps on my watch, which can be opened quickly and run smoothly.

First, you need to download two apps on your mobile phone: WearOS and go out and ask your own app. After connecting WearOS and TicWatch S2, you can do more operations and settings in the go out and ask app.

Long press the dial to switch between different themes. There are many styles.

Long press of the multi-function key can activate the voice assistant, and you can ask many questions, such as how the weather is today, what movies are showing recently, open the app, set up reminders, etc. The functions are rich and the user experience is good.

In daily life, TicWatch S2 can also help you in many ways. There are many apps in the app store, such as Netease Cloud Music, WeChat, Alipay, etc. When the phone is listening to music, you can also directly use the watch to control. When paying bills, you can also directly lift your wrist, click a few places, and then pay on the watch, reducing the steps of operating on the phone, However, TicWatch S2 does not support the UnionPay card binding function. Users who want to use flash payment may feel regretful. They can only adhere to the performance of WeChat and Alipay in terms of payment and endurance. They can only say that it is OK. Depending on their usage habits, they will generally recharge in two days.

For me personally, the biggest help of wearing a smart watch is to reduce the number of times to view the mobile phone screen. Notice from SMS, WeChat and other apps can be seen directly on the watch. After all, most of the notice messages are not necessary to look closely. Only when important news arrives and I check on the watch for a while can I turn on the mobile phone, Perform more complex operations.

Of course, as a smart watch, it performs well in detecting health values, recording steps, distance and other information. When you want to start exercising, you can also select a corresponding exercise on the watch. After clicking Start, TicWatch S2 will start recording relevant data, and you can directly view the results after finishing.

If you forget to turn on the recording function when exercising, you don't need to worry, because S2 with TicMotion function can actively detect whether the user is exercising. Generally, it will automatically record for you 3-5 minutes after the start of exercise, and will also generate a corresponding result report after the end of exercise. This can be said to be a great relief. It is very friendly for users with poor memory.

The system card is also very intuitive, allowing you to quickly view the local weather conditions, sports health, various news, etc.

last

So it is easy to see that TicWatch S2 is not only for users who need smart watches, but also for outdoor sports enthusiasts. Most of its basic functions are: health detection, various apps can be used, and so on. It is more than enough to meet most of the needs of ordinary users.

On this basis, it also has the military standard MIL-STD-810G certification, not to mention swimming. It supports the 50 meter waterproof TicWatch S2, and can go diving. Extreme sports fans can wear it to challenge themselves. In combination with its price of 899 yuan, TicWatch S2 can't find many shortcomings. In addition to being too long for sports to match with some casual clothes, it can satisfy me in other aspects.
