I. Introduction
In practice, first of all, thank Zhang Aunt for providing this opportunity for testing, and thank you for asking questions to provide public testing products. The excitement after obtaining this opportunity for testing is no longer an expression, only the gratitude is turned into a measure of motivation, try to write out some use feelings that others have not written. Just this afternoon, I was hanging out with my girlfriend in a nearby park. I wore Tapole sunglasses provided by Zhang Da Ma, wearing a Ticwatch in her hand, carrying Auntie’s charging treasure in her bag, and her girlfriend wearing a large T-shirt and wearing a T-shirt. Aunt Zhang’s baseball cap, we’re just going out to be Aunt Zhang’s spokesperson
Ticwatch was definitely a dark horse in an Android watch last year. As a start-up company's first-generation product, it received a high degree of attention and good reputation, and it is said that sales are also very gratifying. It is not an exaggeration to say that in 2014 and 2015, among the world’s first generation smart watch manufacturers, Ticwatch was absolutely Yan Wang, with a complete round screen, a high proportion of screens, and a complete lug. Ticwatch is definitely one of the most beautiful smart watches out of the aesthetics of conventional watches. I also bought Ticwatch1 early adopters. As my first smart watch, although it kept me fresh for some time, many of Ticwatch's shortcomings have caused me to basically abandon it recently. There are several obvious shortcomings such as: 1. Charging fever is serious, often charging Interrupted, so that in the morning to go out and found that only 80% of the watch power; 3, life is still not satisfactory, in the use of the case are charged every day. 3, Bluetooth connection occasionally broken. In particular, I have contacted Ticwatch customer service regarding charging and dissatisfaction. However, the after-sales experience provided by me is not very good. In short, the procedure is very tedious. The time for return inspection is relatively long and has not been returned. Specifically speaking, after all, it is still a start-up company. I also understand it very much.
Ticwatch1
Ticwatch2
This time, we got the Ticwatch2 classic black model with a sapphire crystal, a black leather strap, a piano paint back cover, and an independent communication function. The new 2 generations actually have 3 series, more than 10 kinds of styles, really full of confidence, and strive to meet various needs.
Ticwatch2 numerous series versions.
Second, unpacking articles
Let's talk about a small slot, plastic film sealing outside the box is a bit rough, the first impression makes people think that manufacturers do not pay attention to details.
The watch box is very small. If you buy a watch of several hundred pieces of Casio, the watch box is so big.
The 1st box contrasts with the 2nd box. The 1st generation is probably because of the initial generation of products. The boxes are larger and heavier.
The 1st-generation box printed its own parameters in detail at the bottom of the box. The 2nd generation saved the information. It seems that it was because of a strong footing and becoming introverted.
Return to our protagonist.
It can be seen that the table mirror still has about half a millimeter of protrusion. This seems to me to be a trough, as detailed later.
The bottom case is affixed with a network license. Yes, this gadget can be connected to the Internet and is a mobile phone that can operate independently.
The girlfriend could not wait to get started, and her size was smaller than the 1st generation. After a detailed comparison.
After the box was unpacked, the accessories were still routine and no longer nonsense.
Third, the details of articles
There are many changes in the second generation compared to the first generation: the diameter of the table is 46mm → 42mm, the screen is 1.5inch → 1.4inch, 320320 → 400400, 214ppi → 287ppi, TFT screen → OLED screen, Gorilla 3 glass → sapphire mirror.
The screen change is very obvious. Simply put, it can intuitively feel that the 2nd generation screen is small, the color is rich, and the black is purer. However, since the second generation uses an OLED screen, and because of the subpixel pentatie arrangement, there is a slight jagged sensation at the continuously smooth edges. And due to OLED screen characteristics, outdoor readability is less than 2 generations.
Left is 2 generations and right is 1 generation.
The first generation of the left, the second generation of the right, and the second shell of the second generation have a sensor. According to other evaluations, an extra sensor is used to detect whether the watch is out of the wrist, which is probably a common distance sensor. After detecting that the watch has left the wrist, the watch enters the lock screen mode, and a 9-square grid pattern code is required for unlocking.
The case diameter is reduced by 4mm, and the slimming is obvious, but the thickness does not change. According to official data, the thickness is 11.95mm.
The two representative mirrors have projections of about a half millimeter and the edges do not have arc chamfers. Individuals do not like this design. One is that the raised screen is prone to bumps. The wrist wears the fingertips in the hand to make intimate contact with something. The raised screen makes it more vulnerable to injury. Second, the touch at the edges is a little hard.
The 2nd generation is about 8 grams lighter than the 1st generation.
I used to wear the steel belt version of the Medu Belén-Salé 2 in 120g, which is actually not too heavy.
If you are concerned about a generation, you should understand Ticwatch's unique mode of operation: scratching. That is, a touch pad is placed on one side of the case and can be slid up and down. but! I almost never used this operation during use, after all, the touch screen operation is more consistent and intuitive. In Ticwatch's interaction, there is a corresponding function in the up, down, left and right slides, and the scratch can only be operated up and down, and the left and right operations still use the touch screen, which will have a sense of splitting of the operation. And due to the presence of scratching, the probability of inadvertent contact has also increased. The only thing that seems to be useful is to adjust the volume during a call. But the watch voice is already very low. Are you sure you want to speak louder?
The second-generation quick-release strap, which adds a paddle to the raw ear, pushes the paddle to compress the raw ear and remove the strap. This design is awesome. If all watch manufacturers and watchbands use this design, the human happiness index should rise a bit.
The left side is 1 generation and the right side is 2 generations. It is obviously not a style strap. Individuals prefer the right style. The cortex was not well evaluated because I did not study cortex too much. In fact, my first impression is that they are not leather, at least not the first skin.
Charging base 2 generation diameter is smaller, 1 generation is larger, the second generation omitted the power indicator. Both bases can charge two tables, but 2 represents a significant increase in charging speed with the base of the 2nd generation.
According to the official website description, the 2nd generation is equipped with fast charging technology. How does 75% of charging efficiency have a relationship with consumers? We need to look at the charging speed. According to my actual use of the past few days, 2 represents that using 2 generations of the base can be filled from 20% for an hour, and the speed is satisfactory enough. However, the charging temperature is still touching, regardless of the 1st or 2nd generation, it can be felt hot from the charging base and wearing it on the hand. I don't have a gun myself, according to other evaluations, the charging temperature is around 45 degrees. In terms of endurance, the 2nd generation has a slight improvement over the 1st generation. In the 1st generation, I almost never open the android wear connection. It is moderately used every day until 9:10 pm and the remaining power is about 30%. When using the 2nd generation, I turned on android Wear occasionally to reply to WeChat, that is, the frequency of use is higher, and in the case of connecting two kits at the same time, using one day can still leave 50% of the electricity. If I close the independent communication and turn off the android wear, I can use 75% of my battery power for one day. In terms of battery life, 2 generations are significantly better than 1 generation.
The charging plugs and data cables used in the two generations are exactly the same, but not much to say.
Fourth, function
In the function chapter, several core functions of the smart watch are mainly carried out. Try to describe in the most simple words what are the functions and whether it is easy to use. As for how to set how to use, I think that everyone uses smart phones for many years. I don’t need to say too much about “how to useâ€. The Tic2 system version I'm using now is 4.1.1
2nd generation using the latest 4.1.1 release
1, change the dial
One of the reasons why Ticwatch was able to get a lot of attention when it was first listed is that it has a perfect round dial. Compared to the square apple table Samsung watch, and lack of a piece of MOTO360, Ticwatch's round dial can indeed arouse more people to change the dial desire. With the official offer of a variety of dials, as well as the support of a number of third-party dial software, a few days for himself to change a dial, I feel very fresh. But just like the mobile desktop computer desktop, changing the dial this little trick is to play a few times tired, choose a concise and easy to read, the amount of information enough dial to use it down.
Some official dial-in dials can be selected on the phone or on the watch.
The official software store has a large number of dial software and other small-feature software.
Take the "Dream Watch" APP as an example. There are various types of dials to choose from, but probably because of copyright issues, most of the trademarks are copycats. There are also ways to make dials on the Internet, but it is not worthwhile for a dial that is only fresh for several days.
2, sports records
Ticwatch's two generations of products have basic motion recording sensors that can record user's steps, exercise time, heart rate and other basic data.
Ticwatch can detect basic movement data.
The sport function can also choose the sport item by oneself, and set some sports goal, such as target time, goal mileage and so on. Every day's sports will be recorded.
There is also a sedentary reminder function. If the watch detects that you have not moved the position for a long time, it will issue a reminder at intervals. If you take the watch down and put it on the table, it will continue to issue a sedentary reminder, which is a bit too simple.
3, communication
The Tic2 generation has a truly independent communication function. It integrates the SIM card of Minsheng Communications and can independently own a mobile phone number for making calls, sending text messages, and surfing the Internet.
There is an independent opening channel in the official website of the People's Republic of China Communications. The operation is more convenient and detailed. There are two kinds of optional packages, you need to pay 30 yuan pre-paid. I have chosen a mantissa 007 number. I don’t expect this number to call twice a year, so I’ve chosen a monthly rent package.
After the card is opened, a signal appears on the watch's information screen.
After opening the card, the watch can use two ways to dial, text and network. Take the call as an example. The first is to dial out through the bound cell phone, and the second is to dial the watch's independent number. Compared with human nature, the system will record the dial-out method you used last time. If there is no choice within a few seconds, dial the last time. But I have a little personal opinion about the watch call. It seems silly to use the watch to call and it is even more silly than using a Bluetooth headset. The only available scene should be when driving, but there is another trick. When the watch is used to make a phone call, the other party's speech is public. This is in turn different from the connection of car Bluetooth. And operating the watch while driving is not as simple as operating the phone. When I used Tic1 before, I tried to drive a table to answer the phone. I used a right-handed finger to click on an answer icon that was smaller than my finger on the left-hand wrist. It was distracting. I think this is still dangerous. To be safe, it's better than Bluetooth headset or car Bluetooth.
The text-messaging function is also relatively complete. You can directly select common phrases and expressions to send, and you can also use voice input. However, the use of text messages is too low. Everyone should use them.
Wechat is the feature we all care about most. Tic can only view WeChat without connecting to Ticwear (Official Connection Suite). After going through some simple settings and turning on android wear compatibility mode, you can view and reply to WeChat. Reply methods include expression, voice, and text. You can also open the payment QR code in the watch's WeChat app.
However, it is a pity that although a voice reply message can be heard on the watch, it cannot even listen to the information sent by others.
At the same time to say is that if you turn on android wear. Equivalent to a watch at the same time connect Ticwear and android wear two kits, the power consumption will increase accordingly.
4, voice assistant
Attached to the voice search technology of the company, the voice accuracy and speed can satisfy me, and the 2nd generation can be faster than the 1st generation. We can enter the voice assistant interface by sliding right in the dial interface. Its function is similar to the common siri, you can send an SMS to send an alarm clock to check the flight or something, and even let the watch help you find a nearby beauty. However, by entering the detailed page that the dating database is Netease Huatian, which is the marriage website, ah, be careful to take it yourself.
5, other additional features
The built-in Sogou Map is a new addition to the 2nd generation.
With the map function and voice assistant, you can directly query the route on the watch, you can also choose to drive or public transport. However, there is still a small drawback, that is, only one route is provided, and there is no alternative route to choose from. And speech recognition does not recognize more detailed route planning needs. For example, if I say "I don't need to go to Xidan by subway", the assistant will not make a decision on "not taking the subway."
The Alipay App that comes with the watch can directly open the payment code and collection code after binding Alipay. There is also the ability to open the payment code in WeChat after binding the android wear package. With Alipay and WeChat two payment methods, out of the consumer is more convenient.
New generation 2 security password function. After the watch is activated, it locks the screen when the watch is removed, preventing other people from obtaining personal information and using payment codes after the watch is lost. Personally think that this function must be turned on.
Fifth, summary articles
After some trials, Tic2 has improved slightly in all aspects than Tic1. In particular, the addition of independent communications and extended battery life shortened the time. These are enough to make Tic2 a brand-new replacement product. In this generation, I feel that the era when everyone should have a smart watch is really coming.
Summarize the advantages and disadvantages slightly:
Advantages: With independent communication, sapphire crystal, life increase, charging speed, quick release strap, larger price range can choose the right version according to their needs (999 yuan ~ 2499 yuan)
Disadvantages: Outdoor readability declines. Other obvious disadvantages are really gone. There is still a function that I particularly want, which is the function of prompting the watch to leave the mobile phone. If there is such a function, it should greatly reduce the probability of losing the mobile phone.
Version selection:
The basic version of 999, aluminum case, may be soft and easy to scratch, silicone strap, missing a separate communication module. However, it has almost all the features that are frequently used daily, and is a good value for money.
The 1299 version uses a silver-colored stainless steel case with a quick-release strap and independent communication. This is the version I personally think is most worth buying. I don't think sapphire crystals should be too tangled. After all, smart watches are not heirlooms. They don't care too much about scratches, and they can't be replaced in two years.
The 1499 version was replaced with a steel belt on the basis of 1299. I didn't see the quality of the steel belt. It was not good to comment, but with the texture of the leather strap, I think the steel belt should not be too good. This section is worthless.
The 1699 version and the version of my evaluation, compared to the 1299 version, from the silver case to black and gold, glass table mirror into a sapphire glass, the difference of 400 yuan. Just now, I don’t think electronic products will last much longer. Sapphire crystals are not necessary. The price difference is so big that I’m worthless.
2000 or later, on the basis of the sapphire crystal, the rear shell was replaced with ceramic, the strap was replaced with a steel belt, and it took more than a few hundred pieces. I was not worth it.
Well, this time the public report is here. In order not to make the space too long, I try to write only the features that are closely related to the ordinary users. In fact, there are many small functions waiting for everyone to work together slowly.
