As a user of Ticwatch1, there are many expectations and requirements for Ticwatch 2 Classic (hereinafter referred to as Ticwatch2). How Ticwatch2's performance specifically allows us to see.
"I" Ticwatch2 new appearance and design
Appearance Ticwatch2 still uses a 316L stainless steel metal shell, the border is also narrow, the screen is upgraded to 400400 resolution, display more delicate, more refined.
The screen is reduced from 46mm to 42mm, 1.4-inch round OLED display, pixel density increased to 287PPI, 73.5% of the screen display ratio makes the front of the dial even more atmospheric.
At the same time, Ticwatch2 newly added the dial's low light mode, which can provide a high-contrast beautiful dial with a solid display and low power consumption.
Ticwatch2 also offers a powerful wearable custom feature. You can customize the left wrist or right wrist to wear the watch in the watch's settings menu - preferences, and you can also customize whether the crown is left or right.
The backside integrates a large area dual LED PPG optical heart rate sensor that accurately monitors heart rate even during exercise. Between two optical heart rate sensors, an infrared detachment sensor is also integrated, making watch payments safer.
The speaker is hidden on one side of the lugs, and a large-area mesh protection net can effectively prevent foreign matter from entering.
The new design of the strap 316L stainless steel strap, unique symmetrical three-fold design, so that you wear it more convenient.
At the same time this strap also uses a very user-friendly to provide a quick disassembly lever, you can quickly change the strap.
Ticwatch2 offers a variety of newly designed surfaces, like this one I like very much. It not only provides time display, but also integrates weather, temperature, pedometer, and low light interface.
How Ticwatch2 provides powerful performance
Hardware: Ticwatch2 uses the MT2601 chip and adds a GPS module. Since the built-in 3G card for people's livelihood is used, even if you disconnect the phone, you can still make calls, send text messages, and connect to the Internet.
Software: Ticwatch2 uses a newly designed TicwearOS, 4.1.2 system based on Android 5.1, making Ticwatch2's manipulation has undergone tremendous changes, giving me the greatest feeling is that "Ticwtach is not only a watch, but also a smart cousin. â€
“Go out and ask for a heartbeat.â€
“Go out and ask and help me record.â€
“Go out and ask, Alipay pays bills.â€
Powerful interactive voice system allows you to complete various operations simply by lifting your wrist.
Ticwatch2 provides a powerful five-dimensional control method that slides up and down on the watch surface to provide different operating menus.
Ticwatch2 uses the 3G services provided by Minsheng Communications. On the Minsheng Communications official website, we can find the corresponding packages, which are 0-month rent, and 9.9 yuan monthly rent 2 packages. Entering the watch's unique ICCID number will enable you to select a 3G phone number in Live Communications and open the service. Although it wasn’t 4G service that made me a little puzzled, but just as a simple data service, the transmission speed is fairly acceptable, and there is no burden on the monthly rent package.
Ticwatch2 uses a linear motor when it is vibrating. It has very low noise at work, but it provides very strong vibration. Let you not miss the phone, or miss information alerts.
By binding Alipay, Ticwatch2 will generate a payment code. The barcode and QR code can be selected at their own discretion. In stores that support scan code payment, password-free payment can be performed. The Ticwatch2's increased wrist-off lock screen infrared detection sensor will lock the screen immediately after the watch leaves the wrist to ensure the user's payment security.
The Ticwatch2 also has a built-in GPS module. You can use the built-in Sogou map to navigate and plan routes and navigate very quickly.
The built-in news section can read hot news directly, not just words, but pictures and texts. Thanks to the 400400 resolution, Ticwatch2 also performed well when reading long texts, with clear text and sharp edges.
Ticwatch2 also provides a powerful information push function, which can accept notifications of various types of APPs. It can also intercept push messages that do not want to be received through functions such as custom notification lists and blacklists.
With Ticwatch2 you can not only connect to the phone, view the short message, but also directly dial back the missed call via the watch and reply to the short message. QQ information and WeChat information are no exception (wechat needs Android wear support).
Support third-party software. By installing a third-party app, you can not only select more dials, customize your own health coaches, and remotely control all smart appliances in your home. You can also use Ticwatch2 to remotely operate the mobile phone for shooting. The powerful functions are dazzling. .
"Three" Ticwatch2 battery life is still my biggest concern
Prior to the advent of smart watches, most watch manufacturers used the “optical kinetic energy†technology on the electronic watch to make the watch “precise,†whether it was the automatic tape device used on the mechanical watch or the like. Developed without stopping.
Because of the use of network synchronization technology for smart watches, time accuracy is no longer a problem. Just connect to the network for 1 second? 0.5 seconds? There is no need to worry about the accuracy of time. However, the use of smart watches has become a user's magic spell, and then powerful features, no electricity, it is only in the water months.
1. How long is the Ticwatch2 charging cycle under normal conditions?
Ticwatch2 has a built-in 300 mAh battery. When you turn on information push, gestures, and has 3 levels of brightness, you wear 10 hours, leaving about 40% of the power. If you have a lot of calls and messages, the power consumption will be More serious, that is to say Ticwatch2's charge cycle is still a day charge, in terms of life is not much surprise.
2. Is there any way to extend the use time of Ticwatch2?
Answer "Yes!"
Q: Will the plan be released?
A: "I have three strategies for the top three!"
The best solution is to turn on the intelligent power-saving mode; long pressing the crown to select the power-saving mode will turn off all intelligent functions. The Ticwatch2 becomes a pure electronic watch, and the battery life is greatly extended. Of course, you can also set the power-saving mode. When the remaining power reaches 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, the power-saving mode is automatically activated. Disadvantages: Complete loss of the advantages of smart watches.
China Strategic: Close message push; In the application of mobile phone terminal ticwear, open the notification center and close the message push, which can effectively reduce the frequency of Ticwear's work. In particular, users with more phone messages consume less power immediately. However, the shortcomings are also obvious: call reminders, information reminders, qq, and WeChat messages are not visible. Disadvantages: Give up important functions.
Best policy: Reduce the display brightness; Ticwatch2 provides 3 levels of brightness display, slide down on the watch, open the shortcut card menu, select the quick setting interface, scratch the side of the case, reduce the brightness to 2 or even 1 level, you can Effectively extend the use of Ticwatch2.
I highly recommend using this method, simple and effective, especially with the use of low contrast dials, the effect of reducing the brightness is negligible.
3. Ticwatch2 saves the country's curve on the issue of life
In fact, the three options that I have just given to extend the battery life of Ticwatch2 are the experience I accumulated when using Ticwatch1, which can also be called a compromise. So does Ticwatch2 offer any uncompromising good solutions?
Ticwatch2 gives such an answer "TIChargeTM Quick Charge Technology." An effective, curve-saving plan. This makes the wireless charging efficiency as high as 75% and enables fast wireless charging under the premise of effective control of heat generation.
After my actual test, Ticwatch2 can charge up to 70% after charging for an hour. The designer used the curve to save the country and relieved the Ticwatch2's battery life. Even if you go home at night and forget to put the Ticwatch2 on the charging cradle, there is enough time for the watch to be fully charged (about 1 hour and 15 minutes) after getting up in the morning.
Thanks to the use of new charging technology, Ticwatch2's wireless charger has undergone certain changes, and it can be backwards compatible to Ticwatch1 to charge; while a generation of wireless chargers cannot charge Ticwatch2.
Humanized, Tic offers a wireless charging dock for users who purchase the steel strap Ticwatch2. You just need to unlock the watch and hang it on the base to charge it.
The bottom of the base hides the cable troughs. You can install the wireless charger and put it on the desk.
to sum up
I think the most powerful feature of Ticwatch2 is the voice control system. The recognition rate and accuracy are very high and very easy to use. "Going out to ask" really makes people experience what is a smart watch. The biggest improvement is definitely the low-gloss dial, which not only contributes to power consumption, but also excels in practical use. The high-contrast, simple interface is really lethal.
Another very satisfying improvement is the use of the more versatile 20CM strap, which comes with a quick-release device that makes it easier to change the strap.
The biggest disappointment that Ticwatch2 has given me is that its thickness has not changed and is still thick.
Finally I want to say if I'm the designer of Ticwatch
Ticwatch2 needs a full battery life every day, and it is still its biggest shortboard. As an iron powder, I could not help but wish to give advice to Ticwatch (black technology).
For example: (1) Design a mobile charging device so that Ticwatch also has a mobile charging treasure.
For example: (2) The battery is integrated in the bracelet and the bracelet becomes the backup power for Ticwatch
