But after the birth of smart bracelets, everything is different. Along with the rapid iteration of technology, the interaction mode on the wrist has been continuously tapped, and smart bracelets have gradually moved from a single aesthetic to a comprehensive and practical one, and the combination of sensors and algorithms has added unlimited possibilities to the bracelet function.
These changes in smart bracelets are beginning to be understood and valued by people, and ultimately, people are no longer just looking at the bracelet itself, but at their own bodies through the bracelet, shaping a more healthy lifestyle.
The Huawei Bracelet 4 Pro was born out of this vision, and despite the fact that many of the functions of this type of smart bracelet are derived from smartwatches, as you can see, in the subversion of modern technology, the bracelet is by no means a simple substitute for a watch, and in a sense, it is even more independent of a smartwatch, and even frees people from their cell phones.
And a smart bracelet can actually bring us what? Can it become an indispensable assistant in our lives? Or as rumor has it, "just a little bit smarter than a normal watch"? All the doubts, we need to experience, to answer.
Just last year, in the market of smart bracelets, we still only have a black and white screen to choose from, and when the time fades into 2019, the color screen all of a sudden became the new keyword, and Huawei bracelet 4 Pro is no exception.
On its front is a 0.95-inch AMOLED HD color screen with a resolution of 240 × 120, a higher density of information display, more durable point-slip interaction, both touch, or visual feedback is satisfactory. Perhaps some people still love the mechanical sense of physical buttons, but now and in the foreseeable future, out of people's consideration of waterproof durability, as well as the pursuit of unity, the bracelet and virtual buttons have been defaulted to the best partner, and actually bring people a better overall experience.
The screen brightness adjustment on Huawei Bracelet 4 Pro has 2 more adjustable ranges than before, which makes it gentler and friendlier when the screen is lit up late at night, and allows for a better view of the screen content in outdoor places with strong lighting.
The color screen is embedded in a brushed metal frame and covered with a black glass dial, which is connected to the Huawei Bracelet's family-designed body on both sides. The Huawei Bracelet 4 Pro is more square than other rounded bracelets, and has a slightly more "mature business" look to it.
Interestingly, however, this bracelet comes in a cherry-pink gold color, which neutralizes the square, hard, masculine lines of the dial to a large extent, and makes it more capable, but not too lightweight. In addition, there are also elegant and calm obsidian black color, as well as more lively and warm honey red color.
This time, the Honey Red color scheme, as a special symbolic bracelet customized with nova phones, focuses on fashion and trendiness, and pleases the young "nova stars". This also shows that Huawei bracelet 4 Pro does not want to stick to the traditional positioning, is gradually out of the past curing label, but also just like the flagship phone, inherit the brand temperament at the same time, but also a foot into the fashion circle, relying on a variety of color combinations to get through to the different groups of people.
The wristband is made of skin-friendly material, and relies on a lot of hollowing out to visually add a sense of movement, as well as ensuring breathability and preventing sweat deposits. Of course, the bracelet needs to be cleaned regularly, because the vast majority of the bracelet's strap, engraved on the back of the manufacturer's logo, for the daily movement of a large number of sweaty users, these grooves are also relatively easy to often hide dirt place, need to carry out a certain amount of cleaning and maintenance.
The Huawei Bracelet 4 Pro is secured by a snap between the watch body and the band, which means that the band can be freely replaced while maintaining tightness. However, the clasp is not easy to pull out, and you need to "snap" it very hard, which is insignificant in daily use, considering that it's only necessary for disassembling and repairing the watch, as well as for replacing the band.
Overall, the Huawei Bracelet 4 Pro does not revolutionize the look of the device, and the upgrade focuses on functionality, with lines outlining the overall silhouette instead of a sleek shape. Such a shape distinguishes the design from other bracelets on the market and conveys its own unique personality.
Battery life is probably one of the biggest causes of human anxiety in the 21st century, with cell phones, tablets, and now smart watches and Bluetooth headsets putting people in constant fear, but smart bracelets have become a "longevity anomaly".
According to official data, the Huawei Hand Slide 4 Pro can last up to 12 days with continuous heart rate and sleep monitoring turned off, and when all the features are turned on, what about the battery life?
So, in the case of scientific sleep monitoring, 24 hours of continuous heart rate measurement, Bluetooth 24/7 connection to the phone to receive information, the average daily battery consumption in the first ten percent, after the test, steady use of a week before connecting to the charger, the endurance of the strength of satisfactory.
But unfortunately, the charging interface is micro-usb, so in long-distance travel, you also need to bring a separate charging cable, good thing the charging cable is also quite small, will not take up too much space, carry around is also convenient. In fact, I'm looking forward to the future of the Huawei bracelet can be used in the way of wireless charging, after all, we use the Mate series, and even more and more flagship phones on the market are beginning to support reverse charging, and wireless is the trend.
After several years of exploring the smart bracelet market, some mainstream manufacturers have finally realized that the real scene of wearable devices should be personal health, not just fashion. When the user's body data through the sensor to collect quantitative, and then analyzed through the algorithm, to provide scientific advice, to promote people towards a healthy lifestyle at that moment, personal health and smart bracelet will be closely linked.
The Huawei Bracelet 4 Pro supports SpO2 monitoring, but you need to know what SpO2 is, which is the concentration of oxygen in the blood, and is considered to be the 5th most important indicator of health, along with heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and body temperature.
Similar to traditional testing devices, Huawei Bracelet 4 Pro relies on infrared light to penetrate the blood vessels on your arm to detect the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood vessels, so the system also automatically prompts you not to deviate from the optimal measurement position during the test to avoid errors or failures in the measurement.
If we lack sleep or engage in prolonged mental activity, it can lead to a decrease in blood oxygen concentration, which in turn can lead to fatigue, drowsiness, rapid heartbeat, memory loss, and other symptoms. However, the Huawei Bracelet 4 Pro oxygen saturation monitoring function is best suited for sports scenarios, especially when performing outdoor activities at rapidly changing altitudes, where we can monitor blood oxygen saturation to keep up with our physical condition, so as to adjust the intensity of the exercise in real time and adapt to the environment.
Continuous heart rate monitoring is an indispensable feature of smart bracelets, and as you can see in the graph, in addition to the increased heart rate caused by brisk walking and trotting during commuting time, the heart rate of daily office work is generally smooth. It's worth mentioning that the Huawei Bracelet 4 Pro also joins the heart health research program of 301 Hospital (People's Liberation Army General Hospital) to provide screening for premature heart beats - which, as an important indicator of heart disease, is a type of anisotropic heart rate in arrhythmia, and is also an important health monitoring item.
With the Heart Health Research app, the Huawei Bracelet 4 Pro can monitor premature heartbeats 24 hours a day with its own TruSeen 3.5 heart rate monitoring technology, and then analyze them through professional algorithms to map and analyze premature heartbeats to help prevent these risks in daily life without professional medical monitoring.
In addition, sleep monitoring is also one of the most frequently used features, and the Huawei Bracelet 4 Pro utilizes its own HUAWEI TruSleepTM 2.0 sleep detection technology, which automatically turns on the monitoring when you fall asleep late at night, and then you can view your night's sleep data on your phone the next day.
In the "Motion Health" app, you can visualize your sleep status that night, including different categories such as light sleep, deep sleep, REM REM and wakefulness, etc. It also generates a sleep score through big data analysis and gives you targeted sleep advice. In addition, the app also provides sleep music and stress relief services to guide people to sleep better and improve sleep quality.
In a sense, cell phones have become the natural enemy of modern people's sleep, and sleep monitoring features such as those on Huawei's Bracelet 4 Pro are helping people get back to sleep in a different dimension by mapping out sleep with specific data, giving us warnings and advice, and guiding us to manage our lives more scientifically.
Smartphone
When smartwatches were first created, their main responsibility was to help users record exercise data, and features such as health monitoring, mobile payments, and NFC were later developed into smarter, more convenient features that are now becoming more popular.
Returning to the exercise record itself, the most eye-catching feature of Huawei Bracelet 4 Pro is that it has an independent GPS function and a 6-axis sensor, which allows it to accurately record the distance, pace, calories, and other regular data, as well as completely get rid of the phone to draw a complete outdoor exercise track.
The GPS positioning speed on outdoor walking is very fast, even faster than many smartwatches. After turning on the outdoor walking mode on the bracelet, I did a small distance walk with no purpose, and the final trajectory I plotted was a good reproduction of the walking path.
For data recording of different sports, Huawei Bracelet 4 Pro supports 11 targeted modes, namely outdoor running, indoor running, outdoor walking, indoor walking, outdoor cycling, indoor cycling, elliptical, rowing machine, swimming in the pool, swimming in open water, and free training, which is said to be the most comprehensive sports mode in the world of bracelets, and it's directly comparable to a smartwatch.
Given that some of the roads in the city are under renovation and there's a lot of dust outdoors, I mainly chose to run on an indoor treadmill for my "indoor running" test. The Huawei Bracelet 4Pro adds FirstBeat's algorithm to the exercise mode, which provides VO2max maximal oxygen uptake, calorie consumption analysis, exercise recovery time assessment and recommendations based on the user's personalized physiological information and actual exercise data, and then analyzes it through the algorithm to give scientific exercise recommendations.
It can be said that in the return to the most basic sports monitoring tasks of the smart hand slide, Huawei bracelet 4 Pro provides an extremely complete function, in the vast majority of scenarios, has been able to replace the smartwatch, detached from the smartphone, and can really let us go to independent use.
What a smartwatch can do, I can do, and it's even smaller and more invisible, which is probably what the Huawei Bracelet 4 Pro is trying to achieve.
The NFC chip is naturally not absent, and it supports bus and subway swiping and access control simulation in most cities across the country; the Alipay mobile payment function, which used to be available only on smartwatches, is now retained in its entirety; the bracelet has added a new Bluetooth music playback function, which starts to link up with the phone to realize quick switching, playing or pausing music; the dial market is also more complete, and in addition to more than 100 official The dial market is also more complete, in addition to more than 100 official dials, but also supports the use of third-party dials to create a personalized style; of course, dustproof and waterproof, message alerts, the most basic will never be forgotten.
These basic functions, in fact, is never Huawei bracelet 4 Pro want to publicize or focus on the point, because can do these, can only show that this bracelet is qualified, and in the bracelet sports monitoring track after the lead, the power of personal health is Huawei bracelet 4 Pro and the future successor to the vision.
Previously, PCs and smartphones collected our "attention" data and delivered targeted news on algorithmic recommendations, thus realizing the idea of a "personal daily newspaper" in the last century; now, with the advent of wearable devices such as smart bracelets and other devices, it's time to move on to the next level. Nowadays, with the emergence of smart bracelets and other wearable devices, our health data can also be collected and quantified, Huawei bracelet 4 Pro has undoubtedly become a "new flagship bracelet" on the market in terms of functionality, but you can clearly find that the Huawei bracelet to do more than just that, along with the sensor and algorithmic iteration in the future, the body data recording, health analysis, The combination of these functions will be more closely, a hundred years ago, no one could expect the realization of the "personal daily newspaper", and in the future, the smart bracelet will become the carrier of the "personal doctor"?
No one can answer that, but it's worth waiting to see.
