What is a mechanical smart watch?

Smart watch or mechanical watch? Huawei WATCHGT2Pro brings new ideas.

Just when people pay attention to Huawei Mate40 series mobile phones, Huawei has won the first place in another field in a low-key way.

At the launch conference of Huawei Mate40 series, Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's consumer business, announced that Huawei jumped to the first place in the global wrist smart wearable device market. At the same time, Huawei brought three high-end wearable products: Huawei WATCHGT2Pro, Huawei WATCHGT2 Pro CG and Huawei Watch GT 2 Porsche Design.

Yes, there are always three models for users with different needs. But the similarity between * * * is that they are all positioned at the high end. With the intensification of competition in the industry, the strategy of "one machine goes to the world" obviously doesn't work. This year, even Apple launched the AppleWATCHSE with a lower positioning, but Huawei's strategy is to go up-Huawei WATCHGT2Pro is the first truly high-end smart watch.

"Mechanical watch, man's romance."

When I showed this Huawei WATCHGT2Pro, which looks like a traditional mechanical watch, my friend answered me with a curious look after learning that it was a smart watch.

It is true that the charm of mechanical watches is beyond the reach of smart watches, and the preference of big boys for mechanical watches never seems to be transferred to smart watches. For a long time, the public's stereotype of smart watches-Apple Watch may be the most typical representative. In short, a smart watch just doesn't look like a traditional mechanical watch.

From this point of view, you can't have your cake and eat it. If you want to experience the romance of mechanical watches, you can't have the intimacy of sports health monitoring at the same time, and you have nowhere to show your taste in time with the entrance of digital life.

No, there are two kinds of smart watches on the market: one is contrary to the mechanical watch, so it doesn't look like it, and the other is to restore the classic design of the mechanical watch as much as possible, and the appearance is the most common starting point.

Huawei WATCHGT2Pro is the latter category. As early as the release of the previous generation WATCHGT2, Huawei provided a rich digital dial market. Huawei WATCHGT2Pro series supports tens of thousands of online dials, which are divided into free and paid ones for users to choose from. Some dial styles can be close to mechanical watches, and the effect is extremely realistic. If you are looking for exquisite dial styles and functions, it would be great to spend 6 yuan money to buy a satisfactory dial.

In addition, Huawei WATCHGT2Pro comes standard with a leather strap and a quick-release fluororubber strap for users to replace on different occasions. For those convenient users who like the appearance of mechanical watches but don't want to give up smart watches, WATCHGT2Pro does provide a good compromise.

Whether on a business trip or attending a formal occasion, a qualified smart watch can almost be qualified as a mechanical watch. In the street, if you don't observe carefully, it is actually difficult to tell what watch the other person is wearing.

But the digital dial is a basic skill, which can only imitate the appearance and lacks the essence of mechanical watches-texture. The classic mechanical watches of Rolex Water Ghost, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, Cartier Blue Balloon, Portugal and other countries are undoubtedly recognizable in appearance and very particular about materials.

Therefore, Huawei has also adopted more advanced materials than before on the WATCHGT2Pro. The first is the surface, which is around the dial. Huawei uses a material called "titanium metal", which is light as aluminum and hard as steel. It is corrosion-resistant and does not rust, and is often used in aerospace manufacturing. On the WATCHGT2Pro, the matte appearance of titanium looks a bit calm.

Followed by the mirror of the watch, Huawei used sapphire glass for smart watches for the first time. Sapphire glass also has the characteristics of hardness and wear resistance, and its Mohs hardness can reach 9, which is higher than ordinary blades (7) and gravel (7-9). Ordinary watches are easy to scratch, and the biggest enemy is actually the neglected gravel. Sapphire mirror can minimize the probability of scratching.

High-end mechanical watches on the market, such as Rolex, also use sapphire mirrors. More importantly, the sapphire mirror has higher light transmittance, and the dial is clear and transparent, which can better highlight the texture of the watch under the light.

The watch body and dial are more wearable and easier to make, which makes me confident to wear it to the gym. Because I often deal with dumbbells, barbells and other instruments, I always bump into them, and I am always afraid of breaking my watch and being distracted when doing actions. This kind of training is not worth the candle.

Finally, another substantial change of Huawei WATCHGT2Pro is the addition of a new function. The ceramic material was finally used on the back shell of the WATCHGT2Pro. The physical and chemical properties of this material are very stable, waterproof and high temperature resistant, the surface feels warm, and it has natural luster, adding a sense of texture.

Although I am personally curious about what it would look like if the bottom of the smart watch was made transparent, considering the application of ceramic materials, the WATCHGT2Pro also adopted real wireless charging.

You know, Huawei has always used metal contacts to achieve the purpose of charging. After Huawei WATCHGT2Pro supports wireless charging, it can not only charge with the standard wireless charging chassis for 5 minutes and use 10 hour, but also support the reverse wireless charging function of smart phones and wireless charging treasures. In addition, the battery life of Huawei smart watches reaches 14 days, which invisibly extends the battery life of WATCHGT2Pro.

Huawei WATCHGT2Pro is an impact launched by Huawei on high-end smart watches, and we can feel Huawei's sincerity. In addition to the exquisite materials, Huawei WATCHGT2Pro also retains the accomplishment that a smart watch should have.

In terms of sports, Huawei has added professional skiing mode and golf driving range mode on the basis of the original professional sports function of 15, and added the support of track return to the watch for the first time. In terms of health, Huawei WATCHGT2Pro is equipped with upgraded TRUSENTM 4.0+ all-weather heart rate monitoring technology to support all-weather blood oxygen saturation monitoring. Among them, the ECG version provides professional ECG collection function, and Huawei will provide ECG interpretation report to help users manage their own heart health. In terms of intelligence, Huawei WATCHGT2Pro supported the application market for the first time, adding apps such as Baidu Map, Didi Chuxing and Pocket High Speed Rail.

Although smart watches can never replace the eternity of mechanical watches, it is difficult for mechanical watches to use the functions of smart watches. They are like two disjoint straight lines. One goes straight ahead and seems to have reached the end. The other is desperately chasing, fast and slow.

The essence of Huawei WATCHGT2Pro makes it have two sides: it can be disguised as a mechanical watch indoors, and it is a smart watch outdoors, as quiet as a virgin and as moving as a rabbit.

I believe that Huawei has positioned WATCHGT2Pro as a high-end and never wants to compete with mechanical watches. After all, our pursuit of time is endless, and the upper limit of the value of mechanical watches cannot be measured by standards. It's just that WATCHGT2Pro just stepped on the boundary between mechanical watch and smart watch, which is a fresh experience.

More real shots:

Which smart watch displays hands in standby state, just like a mechanical watch, don't blank the screen.

Nevo smart watch (physical dial display), Moto360 smart watch (liquid crystal display) and Tuman smart watch (electronic paper screen display) can all be displayed without turning off the screen. Specific parameters can be queried online. I searched the internet for a long time before I saw these three. Generally speaking, if the LCD screen is not turned off, it will consume a lot of power and the battery life of the watch will become a problem. After all, the battery of a watch can't be very big. Hope to adopt.

How about Huawei Watch3?

Since the official release of HarmonyOS os2.0, the big names in the digital field have collected all the buckets of Huawei family early, and brought you detailed evaluation videos for the first time. Helpless, Xiaohei has no money and no potential. After waiting for half a month, he finally waited for this Huawei Watch3.

Just like the video title, although this watch is also equipped with HarmonyOS system, to be honest, the presence of smart watches in Huawei's ecology is not so strong, and even watch3 devices can't be found in the newly added super terminals. So today we only pay attention to the watch itself and see what new experience this product has.

For the record, I am not a smart watch user, and I don't want to wear a smart watch for two reasons. One is that I personally think that the display dial is not as good as the traditional mechanical dial. I was attracted by its face value at first sight when I opened the Huawei watch3 package. Different from the common rubber strap, the fashionable brown cowhide strap has an unusual texture at first glance, and Huawei has always insisted on the design of a round dial, which is more acceptable for friends who are used to watching traditional watches.

Speaking of the brown strap of watch3, although the brand promotes whether it is Italian or Dutch calfskin, I'm sorry that Xiaohei has a short knowledge, but I really don't feel any difference from ordinary artificial leather, but the leather is really soft, so I just wore it for less than a week and there were obvious wrinkles.

The dial of watch3 uses a whole piece of 3D glass as the mirror surface, and the edge of the mirror surface is polished by arc curve transition, which is round and classic, and there is no need to polish it deliberately when shooting, so the feeling of jazz arises spontaneously. The whole dial is made of bright silver stainless steel. From the side, emmm is still a "heavy" watch.

In order to be more like a traditional mechanical watch, a metal crown is added to the upper right corner of the dial. Although it is not like a traditional watch, you can call up the menu page of the watch by pressing it, and you can also control the size of the application icon and slide the list by rotating the crown. When the crown is rotated, the watch will bring corresponding vibration feedback. Believe me, after the experience, you will turn around like me from time to time.

Systematic beautification

The dial of watch3 adopts 1.43-inch AMOLED screen. In most system interfaces, the circular border around the dial is not so obvious, and the visual immersion is quite good. I won't introduce the parameters of this screen. After all, people don't use it to watch videos. Let's take a look at some beautification of the watch interface.

The first is the choice of dial. When it comes to Huawei watches, what comes to mind is the "wind blowing" of the fire some time ago, so I am also eager to start a smart life and choose more dials. Boy, the first one is an astronaut. Looking at the price in 6 yuan, I can only say goodbye! If you can't afford to charge, watch3 also has more than 30 dials built in, but because the strap is brown, there are not so many choices for dials that want to match its color.

In addition, watch3 is also polished very well in icon style and loading animation of some applications. Even scanning the QR code when connecting the watch for the first time will have a gorgeous loading animation, which is a bit exaggerated and amazing. The most eye-catching thing is the overall animation of watch3, including the zoom effect every time the menu is opened, and the pop-up animation every time the application is clicked, which is very similar to applewatch, ah no, as excellent control comfort.

Feeling of wearing

As I said just now, the second thing I don't like about wearing watch equipment is that it is easier to sweat in summer, and the skin will stick to the back of the watch, including the place where it comes into contact with the strap. Either take it off from time to time to get some air, or wipe it with a wet tissue when you sweat.

It is fake to wear a genuine leather strap like Huawei watch3 outdoors in Beijing at 32 degrees, but surprisingly, the back cover of the watch will not accumulate sweat, and it will feel slightly cold. I have to say that the material of this nano-ceramic is really skin-friendly.

In the overall wearing experience, it can be described in one sentence, even if the watch3 is taken off for a long time, there will be no feeling of relief.

function

I believe many people, including me, have some misunderstandings about smart watches. I thought that the main functions of smart watches were sports records and health checks, but in fact, these functions can be met with cheaper bracelets, or even better. As Huawei's latest generation of wearable devices, watch3 really subverts my previous understanding of smart watches. Next, I will introduce several functions that I think are very practical and novel. If you have experienced them, then I am ignorant. .

The first function is watch navigation. Simply put, when the mobile phone starts map navigation, the text information of navigation will also appear on the watch, such as turning left 50 meters ahead. Because I ride occasionally, with this function, I don't have to stop and take out my mobile phone from time to time to see the route. I only need to look at my wrist to get travel information.

Don't rush to spray, I know this function of appleWatch has been around for a long time, but shouldn't users of other brands besides Apple users deserve to use this function? Anyway, as an Android user, I am quite excited about adding this function.

However, there are still two limitations in the navigation of watch3. One is that navigation only supports walking and riding, which is affected by the positioning signal of the mobile phone and has a certain delay; The second is that this function only supports Huawei mobile phones at present, and users of other mobile phone brands may have to wait.

The second function is the new temperature detection. You can quickly measure your body surface temperature by clicking on the small thermometer icon watch. Huawei watch3 has a built-in temperature detection sensor, which can accurately measure the skin temperature and estimate the body temperature.

There is nothing to say about this function itself. At the moment when the epidemic is still severe, it is really necessary to take a temperature test every day. What I want to say is that Huawei Mate40RS Porsche series also supports temperature detection, so mate40Pro+watch=Mate40rs.

This time, Huawei introduced black technology and added smart gesture recognition to the watch. This is not the same as the long-distance gesture of the mobile phone, but the corresponding operation is realized by sensing the hand movement through the sensor. For example, when you make a phone call, turn it gently with your wrist with a watch, and the bell will be silent; You can answer it once with your fist. It is very useful when your fingers are wet and it is inconvenient to touch your watch. However, there are not many gestures that can be supported at present, and more interesting functions can be expected in the future.

Continue to travel without refueling.

The world has suffered from appleWatch for a long time. It is normal for me to take off my watch after work and charge it before going out the next day. The most terrible thing is that if you forget to charge the battery the day before, the whole person will go bad the next day. I don't know when the watch will turn off.

Huawei watch3 claims to have a long battery life of 14 days, but I am very responsible to tell you that it is impossible to achieve this battery life in actual use. According to my normal use, open the screen display, all-day heart rate detection, occasional exercise record, which is the so-called intelligent mode. In less than 2 days, the battery of the watch will drop below 10%. If you turn on esim again, the battery life will be smaller, so friends who choose it for a long battery life may be disappointed.

In terms of charging speed, this time Huawei watch3 comes with 10W wireless charging base. The official charge data is two hours. I tested it, and it charged about 42% an hour. If the flight mode is turned on, the charging speed will be shortened to 1.5 hours, which is still very fast. By the way, when I charge my watch with mate40pro wireless reverse charging in my hand, I always turn it off automatically without charging for a few minutes. There are no metal or other obstacles between the watch and the mobile phone. Welcome someone who knows to help me answer it ~

abstract

In fact, the category of smart watches is really a price. If you want to experience it well, you have to spend more money. Therefore, for this Huawei watch3 with a price of 2,799 yuan, we can completely use the flagship standard to request it. After several days of use, Huawei watch3 is the highest level of Android smart watches in terms of workmanship, fluency in use, or function points.

I believe many friends will compare this watch with applewatch when watching videos. As a non-applewatch user, I am not qualified to compare the two, but I don't think there is plagiarism, no matter which is better or worse. The shape and function of smart watches are basically like this. Some functions of Apple are also available from other manufacturers. Even if this is "plagiarism", Huawei watch3 has now taken out temperature detection and supported gesture control. Does it prove that Apple can't compare with Huawei?

If you think there is anything wrong with Ji Feng Jun, please leave a message to correct me ~

How about a ticwatch watch? Ticwatch user evaluation

Ticwatch has attracted great attention since its launch. Recently, this brand of watches has become popular again in Tik Tok, and the dial switching function of this watch has attracted many fans. Let me tell you something about ticwatch.

How about a ticwatch watch?

As a sports smart watch, TicwatchS have obvious changes in appearance compared with the previous two generations of products, with strong sports attributes, and the overall style design is more inclined to the young and sporty style. However, TicwatchS continues the circular dial design, and the edge of the dial is designed with fluorescent color code, which is convenient for users to read the values. Ticwatches has a dial size of 45mm, a screen size of 1.4 inches, and a resolution of 400*400 pixels, which is consistent with Ticwatches 2 and also supports raising hands to wake up.

The front and rear shells of TicwatchS are made of polycarbonate, and the overall weight of the watch is 46g, so it won't feel heavy when worn on the wrist, which is not much different from the previous products. Perhaps it is to prevent accidental touch during sports. Unlike previous products of Ticwatch, this TicWatch cancels the "scratch" design.

TicwatchS has only one Home button on the right side of the dial at 3 o'clock, and the button is also designed with a special anti-misoperation device, but this "convex" design is likely to force obsessive-compulsive disorder, just like the convex camera of iPhone.

When exercising, the wrist may sweat easily, and outdoor sports will inevitably encounter rainy days or splashing water. TicwatchS supports IP67 waterproof rating. According to the waterproof standard, IP67 can be completely dustproof, and it will not affect the product in the deep water of 1M at normal temperature and pressure. However, it is not recommended that people wear watches when swimming or taking a bath.

Ticwatch watch evaluation

Let's share the recently bought smart watch ticwatch. Watches are quite light after use, not much lighter than Swatch mechanical watches. The dial is also big enough. The content on the screen is very clear and the resolution is enough. Hundreds of dial-up downloads. That's why I chose tic. The dial can be changed at any time, or you can diy yourself and download the app. However, the dial made by the ios version can't display the steps and the weather temperature. I've been testing this for a long time, but it just can't be realized. It's the app. But the watch updates its dial every week. You can download and modify as long as you like, and delete if you don't like it. Super convenient! The dial can display the heart rate, temperature, weather conditions, steps, mobile phone power, watch power and day of the week. Think about putting your mobile phone in your bag in the future, so you don't have to bother. It's good to have a watch!

Many people are concerned about the consumption of batteries. It has been used for 2 months. Let me talk about the use of the battery. Generally speaking, if you don't turn on the flight mode, you can charge it once a day. Because I always charge the battery once every morning, and turning on the power-saving mode at night will not waste the battery. The advantage of flight mode is that it can be turned on when you are in a meeting or busy. Without pushing any message on the mobile phone, it becomes a simple watch. I share it with you because I think it's really good! The price is not expensive, for those watches with only the face value and no one's role, don't!

Common functions of ticwatch

1. supports 3g independent calls, and you can make calls without linking your mobile phone. It has built-in Minsheng calling card and needs to be opened in Minsheng official website. I haven't opened it yet, and I don't know the specific steps. In short, it can make calls independently. You don't need to bring your cell phone when you go out for a run or when your mother goes out to take care of the baby.

2. Support Alipay payment. You can bind Alipay, just show the QR code when you need to pay.

3. There is also the nfc version, which seems to be not worn. Personally, I think it is suitable for first-tier cities. You can pay for it and take the bus and subway. In a city like Taiyuan, the subway is under construction and does not support public transportation. I feel that this function is not needed.

4. There is also a fun scratching mode. You can easily operate it by sliding your finger on the side of the dial.

Matters needing attention in watch purchase

First of all, I want to tell you that watches are mainly divided into quartz watches and mechanical watches (manual mechanical watches and automatic mechanical watches). The difference between them lies in which kind of energy is used to drive the movement of the watch core. Quartz watch is powered by battery, which is convenient to use, light in appearance and more accurate in time than mechanical watch. The mechanical watch provides running power for the movement through the clockwork device. Compared with quartz watches, mechanical watches are more suitable for formal occasions and more collectible. See "What's the difference between a quartz watch and a mechanical watch?"

There are many kinds of case materials, such as K gold, gold plating, titanium gold, stainless steel, semi-steel chrome plating, alloy shell and so on. You should choose according to your own situation and occupation. For example, if you compare love sweating or outdoor workers, try to choose stainless steel case and stainless steel strap, because sweat and external environment have great damage to leather strap and precious metal material. Moreover, stainless steel has strong corrosion resistance and can meet all challenges!

For the grade and price of watches, most people think that the more expensive the better. Indeed, the more expensive the watch, the higher the technical content. But you still have to consider your own situation when buying a watch. If you are a small clerk who commutes to work by bus every day, you want to buy a watch with hundreds of thousands. First of all, it is a huge burden for you. Even if you hold it in your hand, because your identity does not match, it will be considered a fake watch by others! On the contrary, you are an executive or boss of an enterprise, but you bring a cheap watch to talk business with customers. Although we can't say absolutely, it will also have a certain impact on the results of your discussion. _band smart watch app is the smart device control terminal of the bracelet.

The mechanical watch with balance shaft hairspring adopts balance spring as vibration system. The balance wheel 1 is fixed on the balance shaft 2, and the upper and lower journals of the balance shaft are sleeved in the bearing and can rotate around the bearing. One end of the hairspring part 3 is fixed on the swing shaft, and the other end is fixed on the splint. Due to the elastic deformation of the hairspring, the motion of the balance wheel changes from rotation to reciprocating motion.

The balance hairspring system is affected by bearing friction, air resistance and internal friction of hairspring, and the swing amplitude (amplitude) will gradually decay until it stops.

In order to make it vibrate continuously without attenuation, it is necessary to replenish energy to the hairspring system regularly, that is to say, there must be an energy device in the watch. The periodic energy supplement of vibration system is realized by a special mechanism & escapement mechanism. The escapement mechanism is also used to calculate the vibration time of the hairspring system. Therefore, the hairspring system and escapement mechanism are the key devices of mechanical watches.

Which dial of vivo watch is mechanical?

VivoWATCH2 dial is mechanical.

In recent years, more and more smart watches have appeared on the wrists of urbanites. Although it can't replace traditional watches in one fell swoop, it has also won a lot of praise. On the one hand, it can display the timing time and date of traditional watches, and also restore the classic dial; On the other hand, it can realize the functional experience of communication, sports, health, life and other aspects, bringing great convenience and intimate experience. As a mobile phone user of Blue Factory, the author started their second-generation smart watch-VivoWatch 2, which not only supports eSIM independent communication and watch chat WeChat, but also has strong long battery life, all-weather health monitoring and intelligent life assistant. The author carries it almost every day. Traditional mechanical watches have fallen into the dust.
