OFweek wearable device network news in the first generation of Apple Watch released, we all hope it can be like the original iPhone, redefine a product. In fact, the original Apple Watch did indeed re-define the smart watch, but all aspects are still not so mature. Jobs has a classic theory that "users don't know what they want until you show them."
In Apple Watch Series 2, although we did not see many surprises from Apple "showing us". However, after several months of experience, we found that compared with the previous generation, Apple Watch Series 2 and Watch OS 3 did become better, but this upgrade, you can not see it from the outside.
Apple Watch Series 2 configuration parameters
What we got this time is a black sports version. The box is basically the same as the previous generation, but it has become more environmentally friendly due to the elimination of the plastic box that holds the watch alone. Package contents include: a watch, a strap, a charger, and insurance card instructions. Appearance and Performance: No difference, but it's more than a little bit stronger
Whether it is the body or the strap, it looks almost exactly the same as the first generation, and it doesn't describe much here. Compared with the previous generation, the Apple Watch Series 2 has a 1mm thick body, which may not be visible when viewed alone. However, if placed together, the thickness difference is visible to the naked eye.
The weight of the watch body is also slightly increased. It is more weighty to wear on the hand, but it is not too heavy. It is just good. There is a microphone on the side of the fuselage, and the double microphone can improve the accuracy of speech recognition in a noisy environment. Previously it was rumored that the auxiliary buttons next to the crown would become two. Later, the rumors proved to be false. However, the function of the buttons has changed a lot. We will say later in this regard.
The maximum brightness of the screen is increased from 450 nits to 1000 nits, and it is clearly visible even under strong light.
In terms of endurance, the battery capacity has been increased by 32% at the expense of thickness. Even if the performance of the processor is increased by 50%, the brightness of the screen is doubled. In normal use, if the GPS is not turned on, the use of two days is not a problem and it is not necessary to charge one day at a time.
Systems and applications: smoother, more programs
Caton is a problem that made early-generation users crazy. In the past, when you received a notice and clicked on it, it may take a while to open. Now, thanks to the upgraded dual-core processor, the system has become more fluid, with less obvious frame dropping and stalling. The official saying is that the operating speed has increased by 7 times, although there is still no way to use the IOS system on mobile phones. In contrast, the increase in speed is something you feel at every operation and click.
Apple Watch has two physical buttons, one is the crown Digitle Crown, and the other is the auxiliary button next to it. In the past, Apple designed a feature for it to open the common contact interface. But the reality is that in the scenario where we need to see contacts, we generally need to pull out the phone, so now it becomes a "Dock key."
Press the assistant button at any interface to enter the Dock. The Dock of the Watch OS 3 is similar to the iPhone. Swipe left or right to view the most running program. The difference is that by clicking "Reserve in the Dock", you can make the program live in memory, which will increase the application's opening speed. In actual measurement, up to ten programs can be placed here. Long press and drag can adjust the order. Thanks to this design, after the commonly used programs are placed in the Dock, "seconds" can indeed be achieved.
The application of Watch OS 3 is even more abundant. The more commonly used App on mobile phones can basically be found on the watch. In addition to WeChat, Alipay, these applications that you will surely install, and applications such as Air Travel, Evernote, which you may need to receive notifications, even the headlines and JD.com applications that you can hardly use on your watch can also be used. Installed on the watch.
Almost few applications, including native applications, can be used away from mobile phones. After all, most applications now require networking, and networking must be done through mobile phones. However, after the setting is completed, some functions can really make you not need to pull out the mobile phone. For example, you can make a trip by clicking on the watch and you can call the car home.
As for applications such as xx news, xx headlines, you open a news. If you want to read it, I'm sorry, please "back to the iPhone to view the full text", but in general, no one should watch information on the watch. Weibo is even more simple. On the watch, although the icon is still a familiar icon, there are only microblogging features, including steps, number of steps, ranking of heat, and challenging activities. The application of information is more like existence for existence. It is also normal. After all, few people would like to read long on such a small screen.
The navigation function is very practical and will never be said by the girlfriend to "do not look at the phone after walking". Now it's very hot to share a bicycle. When you ride a bicycle, it will vibrate when you come to the intersection and tell you which way to go, as long as you take a slight glance at your wrist. Like the killer applications on mobile phones such as WeChat and Alipay, the experience on the watch is also quite good. All of them have, and neither should nor more.
Scribble handwriting is more reliable than voice input, because most of the occasions are inconvenient to pull out the mobile phone and it is not convenient to speak. Handwriting recognition speed and accuracy are satisfactory, but the size of the screen determines that you can only write one word at a time, and the text input animation is very cool. In any case, you can now reply to WeChat messages smoothly without making a phone call.
The dial is more and more abundant, various shapes, various functions, various patterns, can meet different people's taste and demand. It may be that in order to prevent inadvertent actions, the screenshot function is hidden. Now you have to set a screenshot on the iPhone to be able to take screenshots as happily as I did.
What's more interesting is this app that teaches you to breathe. From time to time, it will remind you to take a deep breath. When you click Start, you need to spend a few seconds to focus. When you inhale, the small blue circles on the screen will gradually disperse in chrysanthemums, and the body will also vibrate at an ever-changing frequency, just with deep breathing. The rhythm fits; the small circle will retract to a point when exhaling. While completing a set of breaths, the watch will monitor your heart rate and will generally be slightly lower than before breathing. Taking a deep breath is indeed a good habit.
Sports monitoring: Main sports, so sports monitoring is more professional
When the first Apple Watch was released, Apple had tried to enter the traditional watch circle with an expensive Edition. Even at Apple Watch Series 2's press conference, there are also some well-known traditional watch manufacturers listed on Cook's sales charts. But after this, Apple never mentioned it again.
18k gold watch is gone, replaced by Nike + custom version and precision ceramic version, you can see from Apple's official website, now Apple Watch main sports function. In the past year, the market for smart watches has undergone great dive. In addition to Apple, other watches that live fairly well are mostly sports watches.
For the athletes, GPS is just around the corner. Garmin used its independent GPS capabilities to make it. With GPS, smart watches have taken a big step on the way out of smartphones. At least while running, we don’t need to carry a cell phone. However, when GPS is turned on, it consumes a lot of power. This is the main reason why Apple has increased its battery capacity.
The small line on the back of the watch tells you that the Apple Watch Series 2 can withstand water pressures up to 50m deep, which means it can adapt to more sports scenes and you can use it to detect body data while you are swimming. Pull up from the bottom of the dial interface, you can see there is a drop of water switch, click to enter the swim mode, the screen will be locked in this mode to prevent accidental touch.
After the swim is over, the watch will prompt you to turn the crown to unlock and the speaker will make some sounds to drain the remaining water. This is one of the black technologies that Cooke talked about at the press conference. To know that smartwatches that used to be able to wear swimming are all without speakers. But when I take a bath, I still pick it off because you know.
A few months ago, a report released by IDC showed that the shipment of 2016 Q3 global smart watches decreased by more than 50% compared with the same period of last year. In stark contrast to this, the sales of Garmin smart watches that have been focusing on sports soared by 324%. The recent occurrence of Fitbit's acquisition of Pebble and Vector also proves that sports is the direction that smart watches should take.
There is no doubt that Apple chose the right direction in the second generation of products. Apple has always been good at making high-tech things better and more enjoyable, such as combining sports tracking with Pokemon Go. Although I don't know if sportsmen will buy it, Apple Watch is really better and more interesting than other sports watches.
Summary: Although it can not be separated from the iPhone, but it is still best to use smart watches
Different from the dazzling sights of two years ago, if you want to buy a smart watch, there are already few brands on the e-commerce website. Now living on this battlefield that has been devastated, apart from the previously mentioned sports watch company, there are only big companies such as Apple and Samsung that are not too bad. As watch manufacturers die a lot, Google also said that this year Personally do two smart watches.
The first page is basically Apple
Apple released the first generation of Apple Watch promised that this product will eventually work independently from the iPhone, and promised that it will become a popular new computing platform. However, it seems that the Apple Watch Series 2 is still far from these two goals. Although it can be used independently in certain scenarios, it is still an accessory of the iPhone.
We cannot deny that the Apple Watch Series 2 is still one of the best smart watches in the world. Only from the current market situation, in addition to positioning the movement of smart watches, may itself be a pseudo-demand. Apple Watch Series 2 has been upgraded a lot, but if you already have the first generation of Apple Watch, it looks like the second generation of the same generation may make you feel no need to spend money to update. This may be the reason why it sold less than expected, but if you really experience it for a while, you will find it is not as simple as you think.
Finally, Tucao, Apple Watch Series 2, this name is really long.
