Timely, life is fun! Ticwatch2 Smart Watch Unpacking Experience

Foreword

In fact, I had wanted to buy a smart watch for a long time. When iWatch was listed, I almost bought it, but the square watch always felt strange and gave up. Later on the smart watch was aloof for a while, but after seeing the moto 360, the urge to buy a smart watch was raised again. During the period I bought a Garmin 235, but it is positioned as a sports watch, wearing it while running, looking at his running data. It's not appropriate to go to work. The plastic feels so strong that some people feel that this watch is at most For 100 to 200, saying that more than 2,000 to buy, people backstreet may say that this person is not brain damage, not running may think so. A few days ago I saw that the grandmother’s smart watch had been applied immediately. I could not think of a successful application.

Ticwatch's second-generation products were also first crowdfunded in Jingdong, and finally won more than 15 million yuan, showing that Ticwatch's attention was high.

This is the Tpicwatch 2's detailed parameters

First, Ticwatch2 smart watch out of the box + appearance display

Auntie's iconic parcel: What's worth buying stickers + value. Originally, Beijing Shunfeng arrived in Zhejiang on the next day. This time it took several days. It is estimated that the relationship between lithium-ion batteries and watches cannot be on the plane. It is also possible that Zhejiang will hold a G20 summit.

The square boxes are different from the first-generation products. In fact, such boxes are more like the packaging of traditional watches, and they are even more dignified and elegant. (The Yuet version of the package is different)

On the back is the relevant parameters of the watch

Out of the box, Ticwatch 2 is lying quietly inside, on the screen is a sticker

Exactly the same as the placement of a traditional watch

Forged steel body, if the surface of the actual pointer, suddenly can not tell if it is a smart watch. Specifically, watch material, read the official website related information that this watch belongs to the classic series, the body and the strap is 316L cold-forged stainless steel, the surface is imported from Japan, the back cover is a piano paint treatment. Only the surface of the fine porcelain series is sapphire, the back cover is polished ceramic, and the stainless steel + ceramic is called fine porcelain series.

Because the watch has a built-in SIM card for people's livelihoods, an on-grid logo is attached to the back of the hand.

Usually used to a quartz watch, I feel the thickness of this Ticwatch 2 is still quite touching, a full 12mm, but it is no wonder, after all, is a smart watch, there are lithium batteries. Another scratch function on this side, look at the first generation of products, this generation of invisible design in the face value of a lot of extra points.

Ticwatch 2 is equipped with a 36mm round 1.4-inch OLED display, this is a little smaller than the first generation product, personal feeling 36mm just right.

The heart of the back of the watch is an optoelectronic heart rate module

Electro-optical heart rate module emits green light when working

To clear the back of the point, there are three detection sensors in the middle, two optical heart rate modules in the left and right, and a wear detection module in the middle, because the watch has such a function: it will be automatically locked after being removed, and it must be turned on by the gesture password.

The white circle position is the watch's speaker and the other side has a microphone

This is the stainless steel bamboo strap

The official promotion of the stainless steel bamboo strap with patented technology, in fact, this is not this, this removal requires the use of a screwdriver, that patented strap is not a screwdriver. Here's a detailed description of the demolition of the strap below~

The strap and the fixed part of the surface can be disassembled without the use of tools. This design is very convenient and you can enjoy it!

The so-called bamboo strap is like this

Screwdriver supplied with the package is used to adjust the strap

After unscrewing the fixed small screw (really very small), the strap can be divided into two sections

According to the size of my own wrist, I removed 3 knots. The figure above shows the disassembled strap and screws.

The strap is still very exquisite workmanship, there is also a watch brand logo

Next, compared with a fashion table I usually wear, the surface size is basically the same

The weight difference is much more

If you add three straps to the watch, it will become even heavier.

The effect of getting started

The charger is 5V/1A, and the official claims that the charging speed is only 1 hour and 20 minutes. The measured time is more than this time. The following will be specifically mentioned.

This is the wireless charging module. The left picture is the front and the right picture is the reverse. The wireless charging module is weakly magnetic and can easily be sucked into the recess of the module. The bottom of the wireless charging module is made of rubber and has a certain degree of slip resistance.

How the wireless charging module is connected to the data cable

The figure above is the screwdriver with the infinite charger base and adjusting strap

The charging base is designed to be very good, so that the value of the watch's face during charging is greatly increased.

Second, Ticwatch2 smart watch function experience

The next step is to turn it on. This turned-on animation is really amazing to me, so I deliberately put a video.

The screen display effect is still pretty good, the brightness setting is divided into 5 levels, and the crown can be continuously pressed by the crown three times in the sunlight, and the brightness is automatically adjusted to the brightest, and the original situation is restored after 5 seconds.

The functional experience part mainly refers to the following six aspects:

1, independent communication function

Ticwatch 2 comes with an independent communication system. This will benefit from the built-in live SIM card. If necessary, the card can be opened according to the following procedure.

This is the card opening process

You can see on the homepage after entering the website

There are two kinds of packages for the watch number. One is for monthly rents, and the other is for 9.9 yuan for monthly rental of airtime and traffic. Anyway, you can choose according to your needs, and then fill in the ICCID code. Is the set of numbers on the back of the watch box.

The dial of the watch is clear and concise, and it will not cause mistakes in actual dialing.

This is a phone number book, which reads the data of the mobile phone. There will be an icon before each name. The word on the icon is the end of the name.

2, Bluetooth phone function

If you do not open 3G independent communication, you can start the Bluetooth phone, you can use the watch to control the phone's answering and calling features.

Android system will automatically connect without setting, Apple system will prompt to request manual connection, the above two photos are the connection interface of watch and mobile phone respectively. My iphone 6 can not be connected many times, I do not know why, the system is the latest version, during contact with customer service several times, according to their methods are not effective, and later found that many forums also reflect Apple's system No connection, it is estimated that the IOS system is not as open as the Android system.

Dial on the watch to make a phone call.

3, watch payment function

Ticwatch 2 comes with an Alipay app, which binds mobile Alipay to later realize the watch payment function. This function is also the function I use the most in the past few days. Every time the supermarket pays, if someone is next to you, it is not a strange sight. It is directly to ask, if you watch such a senior, or ask you where to buy It's kind of embarrassing to do it myself.

Alipay on the watch provides two types of scan codes. Generally, the first barcode can be recognized. It may be that a small number of scan guns can only recognize the two-dimensional barcode, which requires you to switch manually.

This is the setup page. You can unlock Alipay on the watch side.

The figure above is the watch payment setting page of the mobile phone terminal Alipay APP. Take the IOS version of the Alipay APP as an example. You can bind Alipay by pressing the “My → Avatar → Settings → Security Settings → Smart Watch” operation procedure. After each purchase, the brushed watch will be set, and the forcing is not generally high. At least the near-end time will make others feel good. It is simply a weapon!

4, movement monitoring function

Sports features may be essential for every smart watch, and Ticwatch 2 is no exception. The sad reminder is that the official IOS system directly put this sport function hidden, in addition to simple pedometer function and heart rate monitoring function, all the other sports functions are gone, but helpless to take the installation system of music 2 phone test.

This is the heart rate monitoring function. If the wrist is closely attached, the test result is still relatively accurate. When running, it is not very accurate, because the back of the watch is not completely tight with the wrist. After all, the watch is always impossible to be tight. It. Before there was a Garmin 235 sports watch, he himself tested for a long time feeling that the accuracy of optical heart rate detection is not very high.

This is a step counter function that can set daily goals

After binding an Android phone, you can experience a complete motion detection function. You can choose the type of exercise when you start the exercise, such as walking, running, and cycling. You can switch the screen to display kilometer, time, pace, and heart rate during exercise. .

After the exercise can be synchronized with the watch movement data, but also show the specific track, because Ticwatch comes with a GPS module, experience found that as long as the phone loses connection, the watch's GPS module will automatically enable, if connected with the phone will call GPS data of the mobile phone.

5, smart push function

Smart Push This feature is currently the standard for smart watches, and even the watches that I bought before the Garmin 235 are located in sports functions have smart push, push functions are basically the same.

I was bound to the iphone 6, and the smart reminder of the watch was even faster than the mobile phone. After the basic watch's push tone was over, the phone's tone would ring. When the smart push comes, you only need to lift your wrist to watch the watch. When the watch screen is lighted, the notification will be automatically opened. This design is very good and very convenient. At least if you drive or other special envoys, you just watch too much. On the line, even the mobile phone will be saved. If the push is not sent in time, it will be automatically saved in the watch notification bar. After this notification is read on the phone, the watch notification bar will be automatically deleted.

6, navigation function

To tell you the truth, this feature is still quite tasteless on the watch. One is under the display screen. The other is that the sound is too small to be heard clearly when driving. However, there are always better than nothing. When you walk and get lost, the navigation is still good.

The watch comes with Sogou’s APP. The map shows the effect of the map.

You can click voice search address

The above pictures are the steps used for the entire navigation, exactly the same as on the mobile phone.

If the constant light mode is turned on, a black and white screen is displayed after 10 seconds (or 40 seconds can also be set) before entering the power-saving mode.

In addition to these functions, the following shows the other interface of the watch:

What can you buy for an app?

There was even a game APP, but it was hard to play.

Third, Ticwear4.0 voice interactive experience

The voice interaction function should also be a highlight of the Ticwatch 2, the watch has no keyboard, so voice control has become the main force, the so-called questioning watch is not covered.

Slide the dial interface to the right to slide out the Ticwear 4.0 voice interactive interface and talk directly to the watch.

This is an interface below the voice interaction that shows what everyone is asking.

This is the interface that comes with voice interaction and is also the most frequently asked content.

Q: What is worth buying, it will jump out of several products worth buying, is it possible to have deep cooperation?

Q: What is the weather today? It shows the local weather forecast.

Q: Where there are Chongqing small noodles, they will jump out of the address of the nearby Chongqing Noodle House.

Q: Where there is a toilet, it will jump out of the nearby toilet address.

Q: Navigate to the Shanghai Zoo and jump directly to the address of the Shanghai Zoo. After clicking on it, you will enter the Sogou map.

The above is a few questions that are casually tested. In fact, there are many functions that can also be realized through voice. For example, if Alipay is turned on, the watch will automatically jump out of the Alipay bar code; if the heart rate is measured, the watch will automatically start to detect the heart rate. Voice interaction is really infinite. It's only you can't think of, and it can't be answered. However, compared to the iPhone's Siri, Ticwear 4.0's voice interaction function is still a little weak point, and some voice in the recognition accuracy to be improved.

Fourth, mobile phone APP experience

The above three pictures are the binding process between the watch and the mobile phone. The two-dimensional code is swept down to set the personal usage habits. Then the binding can be completed after synchronization.

In fact, the difference between Android version of Ticwear and Apple version of Ticwear is quite large, the following screenshot compares several major interfaces

Apple's version is significantly less functional (Apple version on the left and Android version on the right)

Android version has more AW compatibility mode (Apple version on the left and Android version on the right)

The dial shows different sizes (Apple version on the left and Android version on the right)

Android version of the notification center can set more options (Apple version on the left, Android version on the right)

This is the AW compatibility mode on the Android version. After opening, you can reply to WeChat and other functions. The above introduction should consume more power.

You need to download this Android Wear after opening AW compatibility mode

Android version of the APP can download all kinds of APP, playability is much better than the Apple version, Apple's version can not be installed, can only use the watch comes with the APP.

Double-click the crown to generate a screenshot of the surface of the phone, this is actually quite good, just like the phone, above is a screenshot of the surface.

Fifth, watch battery life performance

Ticwatch 2 uses a wireless charging technology, which is also a major highlight. It has a full sense of technology, but there are also deficiencies. Carrying relatively inconvenient points, or simply carrying a data cable, you can handle charging. To carry additional wireless charging module to achieve charging. However, using wireless charging technology, you can cancel the interface on the watch, making the watch more waterproof.

After using the charging base, forcing the grid is full.

The official propaganda uses TICarge wireless flash technology.

The figure above roughly tests the charging speed. 21:15 starts charging when the watch's power is 6%. The full time is 22:36. The power of the watch from 6% to 100% takes 1 hour and 21 minutes. You can refer to it below. The official propaganda from 0% to 100% should be 1 hour and 20 minutes, but the data is roughly the same, which may have a certain relationship with the charging temperature and voltage stability. (All data is measured with the light off mode)

When the flight mode is turned on, about 4% of electricity is consumed for one night (22:00~6:30). If the flight mode is not turned on, electricity consumption is 8% to 10% a night. For daily wear, there is no problem for 1.5 days to 2 days. If it is used frequently, it can only last for 1 day. Anyway, through these trials, individuals are quite satisfied with battery life.

Six, summarize the advantages and disadvantages

Through a few days of trials, we can roughly summarize it. We hope that manufacturers can also see this. Some hopes of improving the place can be realized on Ticwatch 3.

Let's talk about the advantages:

1, the surface size is just as a smart watch thickness control is still OK;

2. The function of displaying by smart push and raising hands is very good, and the operation is completely realized;

3, the steel body to create the body and case is comparable to traditional watches;

4, Andrews version can achieve wireless disk change, how creative, how beautiful the dial, every day give you a fresh feeling;

5. The voice interaction function makes the operation no longer cumbersome;

Then talk about the shortcomings and suggestions for improvement:

1, the watch on the IOS system function too much cut, but of course this is mainly due to the closed nature of the IOS system;

2, the speaker sound is too small, suggesting that the volume is down, but the voice volume is too light, navigation has become a chicken;

3. The personal feelings of the scratching function are not significant. After all, the screen is touch-enabled. The screen slides more smoothly than the scratching function.

4. Some of the corners of the steel case can be polished more smoothly. I also saw many people at the official website forum saying this problem;

5, stainless steel bamboo strap adjustment screw strength to be improved, but that section of the patented steel bamboo strap is better to use a lot;

6. The surface of the glass is higher than the surface of the watch, causing the edge display to be different. If it is flat, it will improve on the display and feel.

Let us look forward to a stronger, smarter Ticwatch 3!
