The China Bank 38 mm Apple Watch Sport Sport Edition is priced at 2,588 yuan, 42 mm is priced at 2,988 yuan; the Hong Kong version of the price is slightly lower than the mainland, the equivalent of the price of 2,022 yuan, 42 mm for 2,493 yuan; sport version **** there are 10 models to choose from, with a strap in five colors: white, blue, green, pink, black .
Relatively pro-people's price and rich configuration, Apple watch sports version is still super eye-catching, but it's just as weird as if you showed up at the mall wearing a tight-fitting sweatshirt, where are the sports scenes suitable for the Apple watch?
This article compiles a list of issues that triathlon enthusiasts are generally concerned about, such as battery life, GPS, heart rate, waterproofing, etc. It wouldn't hurt to have a little bit of popularity.
Health monitoring, 79 pieces of the bracelet can be realized, okay?
"Exercise and health" is a point that is increasingly being emphasized, and many people think that as long as they work out or jog after work every day, they can stay away from the sedentary lifestyle that raises the risk of diabetes or cardiovascular disease, but the fact is that as long as the work needs to be sedentary, it increases the concentration of glucose in the body and increases the risk of disease.
Apple Watch encourages you to sit less, move more, and exercise more often. Every Monday, Apple Watch suggests a new Move goal for you based on your Activity data from the previous week.
Through the App, Apple watch supports walking, running, biking, and fitness equipment types of workouts, and will advise users in weekly phases based on the data it has and your level of Activity to better reach their exercise goals.
But the previously highly anticipated ability to measure blood glucose and blood pressure, sorry, is not supported for now. Just this point of material, and other smart watches, health management APP and other competitors of these two factors together, the selling point can only be said to be better than nothing. Especially in view of the millet bracelet 79 yuan counter-price ~
Ahem, this is not implanted advertising, only for comparison.
Battery life, a day a charge that is not a matter of ~
Iphone charging every day is very annoying, but most people are already accustomed to this must also be so. But charging a watch that doesn't get much use every day is a different matter.
The issue of battery life has always been a criticism of smart wearable devices, limited by the current battery technology and the shape of the smartwatch, battery life is difficult to guarantee. Netizens have been expecting Apple to make a breakthrough in this area, but from the actual situation, Apple did not give users much surprise.
At the launch event in the early hours of yesterday morning, Cook did not explicitly state that the Apple Watch's battery life in heavy-duty mode, but only vaguely stated that it could last up to 18 hours of battery life under daily use. Well, after the launch, Apple's website was updated with an overview of battery life in various scenarios:
Mixed daily use: after 90 times of lifting your hand to check the time, reading 90 message reminders, running apps for 45 minutes, and connecting to your phone via Bluetooth to play music while exercising for half an hour, the battery life is 18 hours.
Talk time: up to 3 hours.
Music playback: up to 6.5 hours of music playback via Bluetooth connection to iPhone.
Workout monitoring: turn the heart rate monitor on and stay active working out for up to 7 hours.
Time only: Viewing only the time can last up to 48 hours at an intensity of five times per hour for four seconds each time.
Battery saver mode: With battery saver mode turned on, you can view the time four times an hour at an intensity of four seconds each time, and the battery life can go up to 72 hours for another day.
Additionally, it takes 1.5 hours to charge the Apple Watch to 80 percent, and 2.5 hours to fully charge it.
Are you happy with this battery life?
Optical heart rate sensor, like it's awesome
Why do I need to know my exercise heart rate?
Because heart rate tells you the real information about your body when you exercise. If your heart rate is too high and the exercise is too strenuous, your body is evaporating water too quickly, and that kind of exercise is not good for your body. If your heart rate isn't high enough for just light exercise, you're unlikely to burn enough calories and exercise your heart muscle to strengthen your heart and cardiovascular system.
In the U.S. and Europe, heart-rate wearables have penetrated all walks of life and are widely recognized as a consumer product for the masses. In China, heart rate watches are also being accepted by people and are leading the market into the consumer fashion of healthy exercise. Heart rate watch will play an important role in our life: it helps us to make exercise program, can measure heart rate anytime and anywhere, and guide us to effective exercise.
Currently on the market, heart rate watches are mostly measured by wearing a heart rate belt on the chest. A boon for the majority of heart rate band sufferers is that the Apple Watch has a built-in optical heart rate sensor, which is located on the back of the watch and uses infrared, standard LEDs to analyze the blood flow through the wearer's capillaries to obtain real-time pulse data from the wearer.
Sounding techy, I'm sure there will be a sizable group of Googlers who think this is another great Apple innovation. In fact, the optical heart rate sensor is not a new technology, in the Chinese market, through the photoelectricity through the conductive module to realize the heart rate can be measured, free of heart rate band heart rate watch has not been a big marketing, which gives the apple watch to provide the opportunity, after all, wearing a heart rate band or there are all kinds of trouble.
But people tend to ignore the most important point: data accuracy. For example, heart rate monitoring, if the quantitative heart rate data can not reflect the real physical situation, then no is like the end of the matter. The accuracy of optical heart rate sensors has been controversial.
Apple watch's heart rate accuracy has yet to be officially announced, so how do similar products on the market perform? Dr. Jon Zaroff, a cardiologist, selected 5 mainstream bracelets and a professional ECG machine for comparison testing.
Profis chose the Garmin VivoFit, Basis Carbon Steel, Withings Pulse O2, Samsung Gear Fit, and Samsung's fingertip-sensor-equipped Galaxy S5 for the test, which included three stationary tests and three exercise tests.
The results proved to be relatively accurate in stationary conditions, with most of the wearables keeping the margin of error at around 10 percent, but in the exercise condition, several of the devices showed a greater degree of error, with the exception of the Garmin VivoFit and the Galaxy S5, which did surprisingly well.
How can these measurements be explained? It starts with the principle of wearables and professional medical devices: unlike professional ECG machines and chest strap heart rate monitors, which measure electrical impulses, the technical principle of heart rate monitoring by wearables is to monitor blood flow - the capillaries are illuminated for a period of time by LEDs, and the heart rate is monitored with a sensor that calculates the BPM (beats per minute ).
In order to get more accurate data, optical sensors are quite demanding in the actual monitoring environment: the user can't talk, can't move, and can't sweat.
Another problem with optical sensors is that by the time the blood passes through the capillaries and flows into the wrist, the blood flow has actually slowed down and doesn't necessarily reflect the true heart rate, especially if the BPM is over 100.
So why is it that the Garmin VivoFit and Galaxy S5 are so accurate in athletic situations? The former is due to the fact that it's a chest strap heart rate sensor, a technical principle similar to that of an ECG machine, while the latter, although identical in principle to the bracelet, differs in that the phone measures at the fingertip, and because of the presence of an arterial vessel at the tip of the index finger it essentially maintains the same frequency as the heart.
If you're a serious trainer with a PB challenge and a must-stand platform, it's better to be honest and put up with the band on your chest that's loose and tight and never fits.
Can I swim with my Apple Watch on?
Last year, Cook said, "I wear my Apple Watch every minute of every day, even in the shower." At the time, the industry speculated from Cook's remarks that the Apple Watch would come with waterproofing.
In the Health and Sports section of Apple Watch on Apple's official website, in the small print section at the bottom of the page, we found this description with an asterisk: Apple Watch is splash-resistant and water-resistant, but not water-immersible. For example, you can wear and use your Apple Watch during exercise, in the rain, and while washing your hands, but it is not recommended that you immerse it in water. Apple Watch is water resistant to IPX7 according to IEC 60529. leather bands are not water resistant.
Also in the big words, we can see that Apple's wording is very strict, as they only say that the Apple Watch is "water resistant", not "waterproof". So here's a reminder for all future Apple Watches.) So we would like to remind all those who will be using Apple Watch in the future, to pay attention to waterproof Apple Watch and not to give it a "bath". While the Apple Watch doesn't have a swim training module, fans who just want to check the time while swimming may be disappointed.
Without GPS, Apple's going rogue!
Whether you're biking or running, it's a pleasure to accurately record your exercise track, pace, and time consumed to share with your circle of friends and wait for likes.
These simple functions can be realized through the phone, many of the current mid-range and high-end cell phone GPS accuracy can still be, especially the installation of a better APP, heart rate can also be solved by buying a Bluetooth heart rate belt.
So why buy a GPS sports watch?
1. The phone is too big to be portable without a watch
2. The phone is not as convenient to operate as a watch during exercise
3 The range of the phone is still quite a bit worse than the watch
4 The phone is generally not waterproof
For a sports watch, the GPS is the most basic function, which can record the travel distance (running, cycling, drifting), travel speed, and other sports. The GPS is the most basic function for a sports watch, which can record the distance traveled (running, cycling, rafting, etc.), travel speed, path points, travel track, etc. If there is a web-based or software platform to support it, some GPS sports watches can also plan the path in advance on the computer, and then upload the planned path to the watch to play a role in navigation.
The highly anticipated Apple watch doesn't have a built-in GPS module! It needs to be paired with an iPhone to work together when doing sports tracking, which means it can't be detached from the iPhone to use map navigation, which is the Apple Watch's biggest hardcoming in terms of sports capabilities.
Summer is just around the corner, and running is a great way to keep things light and comfortable, but it's also a great way to keep your phone in your pocket.
Despite the fact that the GPS function and a few other features need to be connected to your iPhone, the Apple watch is still a strong competitor to other GPS sports watches, because first and foremost, it's an Apple watch.
