Huawei belongs to the latter, and they put more energy into improving the life and health management of watches, which is also well reflected in Huawei Watch GT2. Strictly speaking, it is not a new product. It was officially released last year, but recently its 42mm series has brought two new color schemes, and its functions have been updated. Let's have a look.
Taking the overall design as the reference standard, smart watches on the market can be roughly divided into two categories, one is a square dial represented by Apple Watch, and the other is a round dial similar to Huawei Watch GT2, with different dial shapes and obvious differences in actual effects.
Perception is the most direct aspect. Whether it looks good or not is a subjective matter. Some people like square design, while others like round design. It's hard to say which scheme is better. However, compared with the square dial, because the circular design inherits the style of the traditional mechanical watch, it is indeed easier to be accepted by a wider range of users.
Of course, this also represents the different product logic of manufacturers. The core appeal of square design is to bring larger display area and better human-computer interaction, and combine with virtual SIM card to make your watch. The circular design pays more attention to the polishing of the watch itself and core functions such as health monitoring.
Looking back at Huawei Watch GT2, first of all, Huawei has made a lot of efforts in designing materials. Equipped with 1.2-inch AMOLED screen covered with 3D glass. With a retina-level resolution of 390×390, it has a good performance in both visual experience and screen display.
As before, the case body is still made of metal, with champagne gold color matching and bright surface treatment. In fact, its gold color is lighter, not abrupt, but more textured. It should be noted that this time Huawei Watch GT2 42mm has updated two new color schemes. In addition to the chestnut red version in our hand, there is also cream white, and both cases are champagne gold.
The obvious difference is the strap part. In terms of material, the new watch strap has a leather strap design on the basis of the original fluororubber strap. Chestnut red version with dark brown strap, frosted white version with white strap. As for which looks better, or that sentence, you can choose according to your own preferences.
By the way, the fluororubber strap mentioned above comes with it. In other words, there are two straps in its packing list, which you can match according to your own preferences. The process of changing the strap is also relatively simple. Just press the metal button on the top to take it off or put it on directly, and so can girls.
In terms of wearing comfort, according to official data, the measurements of the 42mm version of Huawei Watch GT2 are 4 1.8×4 1.8×9.4 mm respectively, and the weight is controlled at 29 grams (excluding the strap), which is very light and suitable for girls to wear. Of course, if you want to buy it as a couple's money, boys can consider the black version of Fantasy Night.
From a certain point of view, the overall appearance of smart watches consists of two aspects. One is the traditional hardware process design, which cannot be modified once it leaves the factory; On the other hand, it is the dial application, and it is precisely because of the existence of various dials that the playability of smart watches has been greatly improved.
Like many similar products on the market at present, Huawei Watch GT2 not only supports downloading your favorite dial styles directly from the dial application market, but also can set the pictures taken in the mobile phone as dials. For the latter dial setting mode, two different operation paths are also provided.
Everyone is familiar with the way to upload app settings, so I won't go into details here. Let's focus on its "touch dial" function. Friends who know Huawei's mobile phone or notebook products should be familiar with this function, and they can transfer the pictures in the mobile phone to the PC very quickly.
The touch-type disk changer supported by Huawei Watch GT2 is essentially used to transmit pictures with mobile phones, but it goes further on the basis of transmission. Specifically, through the thixotropic dialing function, you can directly set the photos (up to 5 photos can be selected at the same time) in the mobile phone album as a disk table, which is very convenient without going through the sports health app. One thing to be reminded is that this function can only be used with Huawei mobile phones.
Let's focus on the endurance part. According to the official, Huawei Watch GT2 can achieve a week's battery life under the conditions that the heart rate is always on for 24 hours, scientific sleep is used at night, the average exercise time per week is 90 minutes (GPS is turned on), message notification is turned on (50 text messages and 3 alarm clocks per day), power is turned on 200 times per day, and music is played with Bluetooth headphones for 30 minutes per week.
From my personal practical experience, it can last about 5~6 days when fully charged. Of course, there are many factors that affect endurance. Everyone's usage habits are different, and the final result will be very different. It is difficult to give a more accurate figure. Consider it a reference.
Having said that, in the smart watch, the endurance of Huawei Watch GT2 obviously belongs to the very top one. There are mainly two "heroes" behind this. One is that the brand-new intelligent power-saving algorithm 2.0 mode can better allocate energy consumption, and the other is equipped with Kirin A 1 chip developed by Huawei.
I'll say a few more words about this chip. According to the information disclosed by Huawei, it integrates advanced Bluetooth processing unit, more powerful audio processing unit, ultra-low power application processor and independent power management unit. On the basis of lower power consumption, Bluetooth is superior to the previous generation in transmission speed, connection range and anti-interference ability.
Sports function and health monitoring ability are two core directions of wearable devices such as smart bracelets and smart watches, and they are also important reasons why many people choose to buy them. On the basis of previous generations of products, Huawei Watch GT2 has also made many new attempts in sports and health monitoring.
The first is the moving part. Based on the original 15 professional sports mode, 85 custom sports records were added through version upgrade. In other words, this product will support an exaggerated sports type of 100, and it is one of the most versatile smart watches at present.
Among them, professional sports modes include eight outdoor sports such as running, cycling and mountaineering, and seven indoor sports such as walking and swimming in the pool. The 85 custom sports records include parkour, street dance, skateboarding and rock climbing, leisure, fitness, water sports, ball games and ice and snow events. In addition to recording detailed sports data, it can also provide course guidance, which is very attractive for people who like sports.
The health monitoring function has always been the strength of Huawei's smart watches, and Huawei Watch GT2 has also continued this tradition. It adopts a brand-new TruSeen 3.5 heart rate monitoring technology, and combined with related algorithms, it can well judge health risks such as premature beats.
At the same time, it can also realize 24-hour dynamic heart rate monitoring, support real-time heart rate monitoring during swimming and remind people that the static heart rate is too high or too low in daily life. In addition, Huawei has achieved invisible light measurement for the first time on this product, so don't worry about the problem of "flashing all the time" at night.
In view of heart health, Huawei Watch GT series joined the health research of 30 1 hospital a long time ago, and now the heart health research of 30 1 hospital has made new progress. On the basis of the original arrhythmia detection, Huawei Watch GT2 has added the function of "atrial fibrillation risk prediction". For users with a history of atrial fibrillation, the risk of future atrial fibrillation can be predicted in real time and early warning can be made. Unfortunately, because we got the watch earlier, this function was not online at that time, but the support will be updated as the product goes on the market.
In addition to the risk prediction function of atrial fibrillation, it also has an ability that female users will like very much. It can record the physiological data of female users, and after inputting personal data, the watch can give corresponding menstrual prediction and reminder, which is still very practical (it will be updated online through the system later).
In the past, the sleep monitoring function of Huawei smart watches was also reserved. It is equipped with Huawei TruSleep sleep detection technology, which can judge your sleep state and identify six types of sleep problems, including difficulty in falling asleep, shallow sleep and easy to wake up at night. For various sleep problems, it will give relevant suggestions and solutions to help you improve your sleep quality.
On Huawei watch GT2, we also found the function of measuring oxygen saturation (supporting single measurement), which can detect oxygen saturation anytime and anywhere. Blood oxygen saturation is an index to measure the ability of blood to carry and transport oxygen, and it is also an important physiological parameter of respiratory cycle. Blood oxygen saturation is lower than the normal standard, which is simply "hypoxia", and in severe cases, cardiac arrest will occur.
This function is very useful for many busy office workers. Because many people often stay up late, it is easy to attribute symptoms such as lack of energy, dizziness or rapid heartbeat to lack of sleep, and often ignore the factor of blood oxygen saturation. With Huawei Watch GT2, this problem can be easily prevented.
In addition to what we mentioned above, other functions such as NFC access card, bus card and Alipay mobile payment are also supported by Huawei Watch GT2.
Of course, the arrival of two new colors, chestnut red and cream white, also provides more optional space for everyone to buy. In terms of price, the chestnut red and frost white versions of Huawei Watch GT2 (42mm) are both 1.588 yuan, which was pre-sold on April 8th and officially put on sale on April 65th, 2005. Interested friends will know.
