OFweek Wearable Device Networking The development of smart hardware in the past two years has entered a period of smoothness. Compared with two years ago, everyone chose to use a wearable device because there is no purpose for fun, and now more users are more targeted when selecting products.
Many friends around me told me that their impressions of smart hardware are high and low. At first, they always insisted on wearing smart wristbands and watches. However, after a certain period of time, this interest gradually declined. The reason for this is mainly focused on aesthetic fatigue, interaction complexity, and lack of battery life. "It's enough to charge your cell phone every day. Now you have a watch." Some would say so.
However, in the eyes of some sports fans, wearable devices have an irreplaceable role. "Every day we go out and run, with a smart watch, not only can measure heart rate, but also can record movement data and trajectory, at least more convenient than picking up a mobile phone in a pocket."
Good looks, ease of use, and durability have become one of the essential qualities of smart wearables at this stage. During this period of calm, we saw that new smart wearable companies entered the game with full confidence. Two months ago, Real Time released its wearable brand, Pace Wear, and launched its first smart watch, Pace Wear Hype, which can solve the above pain points. Before the evaluation of this product, this is my best odd point.
Exquisite workmanship, comfortable to wear
Pace Wear invited the Swedish ID team to design the product, so you will find that the appearance of the watch gives a sense of tradition + technology sense. The case is made of stainless steel and uses a ceramic back cover for excellent workmanship and a sense of both business and sports.
I still like the appearance of this watch. On the one hand, it is close to the mechanical watch style of the Tissot Locke series I bought. On the other hand, this year due to the iPhone 7's reason to make the matte black color match, Pace Wear Hype is also caught up with a wave of children's trends.
The front of the watch uses a 1.39-inch AMOLED circular dial with a resolution of 400 x 400 pixels. It uses the gorilla 3rd generation glass. The shape is similar to the Moto 360, Gear S3, and Huawei Watch that we reviewed before. Compared with the Apple Watch's rectangular screen, the round dial is more in line with the public aesthetic, after all, wearing quartz for many years, mechanical watches, there is no table designed as a non-mainstream square.
Usually watching content on this screen, do not worry about not being able to see clearly, even if you carefully close to the screen observation, it is difficult to see the so-called grainy presence. The interaction logic on the screen is fairly simple. In most cases, you only need to slide the screen up and down. If you have used Android Wear system watches before, it is not difficult to get started. The system provides a very rich selection of third-party dials, which can be used to switch the dial wallpaper by long pressing the screen.
The dial is equipped with two physical buttons in the direction of 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock. The key at 2 o'clock is mainly used to wake up the screen, while the 4 o'clock direction key is used as a special function key to enter the running and training mode.
The watch's strap is designed with a 20mm width and is made of fluoro-rubber. It is soft on the wrist and does not feel cut when running with a watch. However, there are advantages and disadvantages, this soft strap feels and the dial slightly tough design seems to be a bit off.
Configuration and connection
Unlike watches and mobile phones, due to differences in positioning, this type of wearable device does not require too much configuration. Pace Wear Hype is equipped with a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, supplemented by 512MB of memory and 4GB of body storage space. It has a 9-axis sensor, a heart rate sensor, a barometer, a GPS module, Bluetooth 4.1 and NFC connections, and also a dial. Separate speakers and microphones are placed on the edges, and Pace Wear’s lateral contrasting products are not distracting in terms of function configuration.
Pace Wear Hype is equipped with PaceOS system, which is the previous Tencent OS. We understand from Real Time Technology that this system is updated once a month, mainly to improve the existing experience and add new features. At present, the PaceOS system supports iPhones that are compatible with Apple iOS 8.0 and above, and Android phones with Android 4.4 or above.
The interface design of the mobile client is very good, intuitive and concise. Here you can select the type of dial, set notification options or view your health status, such as the histogram showing the number of walking steps per day and daily heart rate, heart rate under training conditions, and more.
Use scenarios and experiences
The Android Wear watches that I reviewed before were all paired with Android phones. However, as perennial iPhone users, I would also like to experience the matching effect of smart watches and iPhones other than Apple Watch.
Every day at work, Pace Wear Hype's internal setting is to alert you through a period of time to get up and move around, this is more intimate, similar to Apple Watch's alert notification.
The main news push application in the iPhone can be accessed to Pace Wear Hype, including WeChat, QQ, Weibo, and various installed apps. Compared to their own Apple Watch 1 generation, Pace Wear Hype's news push speed is a little faster. When I'm particularly busy, if I can't use my hands, I'm used to checking messages through my watch. This kind of use is limited to reminders. The content is too long to be clearly visible.
Another deeper feeling is driving. If the phone is not connected with the car Bluetooth to achieve car calls, then use the watch to answer the phone is a solution. Actual Test When both hands are holding the steering wheel and the watch hands-free, Pace Wear's speaker volume and microphone can meet normal car noise conversations.
The difference between Pace Wear Hype and other smart watches is that it includes rich exercise modes such as fat-reducing running, outdoor running, indoor running, and free training. After entering training mode, the system will tell you that you should control the heart rate to achieve the best The effect of sports, the advantage of this is that when your exercise intensity exceeds the value, you don't need to raise your hand to look at the screen every time. The watch will tell you the current exercise state through the voice. At the same time, these data can also be recorded on the mobile phone's Pace Wear software to form a heart rate curve.
In addition, the watch itself supports IP67 waterproofing. When I wash my hands several times, the watch is splashed with water, but there is no problem. For insurance reasons, it is recommended that users do not easily try to take a bath or swim with Pace Wear Hype.
1.5 days of battery life, 80 minutes full of electricity
Many people pay the most attention to the life of a wearable device, but this is also one of the current shortcomings of all wearable devices. Pace Wear Hype has a built-in 380mAh capacity battery and is fully charged under normal conditions. It can reach 1 to 1.5 days of battery life. Its endurance performance is slightly better than Apple's Apple Watch 1 and Moto 360 2nd generation, and prior to Huawei's Watch basic. Flat. A full charge takes 1 hour and 20 minutes. The charging method is the same as that of the current mainstream smart watches, and the magnetic charger base is used. The watch can be charged directly, but the magnetic absorption is always too small.
The system will automatically enter the simplified dial mode to save power
iOS users do not have Android users happy
Of course, Pace Wear Hype also has some room for improvement. First of all, it is still a cliché of life. This watch needs to be recharged every day. Otherwise, the remaining power on the next day can barely hold up for half a day. The last 10% of the battery will remind you to enter the power-saving mode. In this state, the connection with the mobile phone will be disconnected and it will only be used to display basic information such as time.
When connected to the iPhone, once the heart rate monitoring is turned on, it will be a bit tricky to shut down. The most effective way is to slide the screen to the left to return to the previous directory. It would be more convenient if you could set the click to stop or click the physical button at 2 o'clock to stop. Otherwise, heart rate monitoring may continue to run in the background. One of the main culprits of a day when I was fully charged is the continuous monitoring of my heart rate.
Here, we must remind you that, due to restrictions on permissions, Pace Wear Hype is less connected to iOS than it is to Android phones.
When testing Pace Wear Hype and an Android phone, it was found that on the one hand, the local function in the setup menu is even more abundant. For example, you can say that Hello Pace wakes up the voice assistant and creates a reminder item or makes a Chinese-to-English transliteration by voice; meanwhile, WeChat, QQ added voice chat; clicking the button at 4 o'clock turned into a quick operation of the QR code payment; in addition, the self-contained Sogou map was very accurate with the help of the GPS module; the last was the application market, although currently Third-party apps are pitifully low, but they are better than none. Obviously, if you are very demanding on the features of Pace Wear, you must first consider whether you are using an Android phone.
There is the dial of the watch itself may be a bit too big for female users, and now the optional strap color is also relatively small, if there are more optional straps or small size women's dial size may be more audience bigger.
Summary: Smartwatches with biased movement monitoring
This black Pace Wear Hype is priced at 1799 yuan, if you pay attention to cost, you can also choose the 1499 yuan silver version. Recall that before this, ZTE and Yingqu Technology all introduced smart watches equipped with the Tencent OS system. However, at the time, neither the function nor the product design left a deep impression. Real Time Technology told Tencent Digital that the difference between Internet companies and hardware manufacturers is very large, so the initial cooperation with hardware manufacturers can not control the combination of hardware and software, so quality assurance can not be. Now that it has become a startup company, quality control and production capacity have risen by a notch.
Pace Wear Hype is better at design details. The appearance of the product is between business and sports. The most important thing is wearing comfort. PaceOS system adds a rich custom dial, support iOS and Android device connectivity, scalability is good. In addition, Pace Wear Hype is very distinctive in terms of sports mode. On the one hand, it can remind people in real time through voice. In addition, it can also record instantaneous speed, instantaneous heart rate, number of motion steps, motion trajectory, etc.
Pairing with Android devices can awaken the full functionality of Pace Wear Hype, but the limited third-party applications currently supported are the biggest flaws. In addition, in some details, such as battery life, heart rate monitoring, etc., there is still room for optimization. The PaceOS system will be used in the field of NFC mobile payment. Currently, the prompts for the upcoming travel card function are already visible in the client, which will greatly expand the use of the watch.
Whether Pace Wear Hype can win the market depends on PaceOS's customization. Before IDC gave the latest data, the overall sales of smart watches this year dropped by 51.6% year-on-year, and the days of smart watches are not that good. Including Pebble sell Fitbit, Moto may terminate the introduction of new products and other news seems to indicate that the industry is not optimistic about smart watches. But think of it from another perspective. If a smart watch can change the life of a wearer, leave the mobile phone to do something that only a smart watch can do, or significantly improve the equipment life time, it may be possible to really get rid of the niche product label.
