The concept of smart watches has been very hot this year, GALAXY.

Gear, Pebble and other products are constantly impacting the wearable smart device market, and they have great opportunities to seize the opportunity. However, when it comes to smart watches, Samsung and Pebble are not pioneers. Today, Sony, the protagonist of the article, has been involved in the concept product field of smart watches as early as 20 10. When it was called Sony Ericsson, they launched a product called live.

View's pocket-sized mobile phone remote controller, connected to the mobile phone through Bluetooth, can browse the short messages and call records in smart phone products, and can control music playback and receive social information on the Internet. Its ultimate shape is a watch.

Will Sony buy back in 20 12 years? Sony Ericsson? All the shares are in my arms. Although the company changed its name, the product line of smart watches continued. At that year's CES, Sony launched the first truly smart watch product, SmartWatch, compared with live.

View, smart watches are more powerful, and can install more than 200 gadgets, while retaining all live broadcasts.

In addition to the functions of view, smart watches also support information push of Internet products such as SNS. This year, Sony launched the second Smartwatch product, named SmartWatch.

The screen is bigger and more like a watch.

Get this Sony smart watch.

It's really a waste of effort, because the domestic licensed products are later than the global market, so when I saw this watch, it was already 20 13 12. Compared with the smart watch products currently on the market, Sony's smart watch

In my opinion, it should be? A smart watch that is most like a watch? The product, without exaggerated design, is relatively suitable in size. The only regret is that the thickness of this watch is not ideal due to the limitation of internal circuit.

Compared with the previous generation, smart watches

2 The screen area increased from 1.42 inch to 1.6 inch. A larger viewing area means that you don't need to push text messages as you did a generation ago.

Very focused? Look at the words displayed on the dial. At the same time, the more humanized change is that the second generation has optimized the interface of the watch. If you have used the first generation of smart watches, you must remember the troublesome clip interface, but in smart watches,

On the 2nd, Sony replaced the interface with the standard MicroUSB, which made the connection and charging process of the second generation watch easier.

Another change that is closer to ordinary watches is the strap. This time, the strap and dial are connected together, and they are no longer separated like a generation. At the same time, this smart watch

It also gives users the choice of two strap materials, silicone strap is softer, while metal strap is more commercialized, and smart watches with silicone strap are priced in licensed products.

Cheaper than a metal strap. 200 yuan, the silicone strap has five colors like the first generation.

Of course, it's not all improvement. There was something wrong with the smart watch before.

2 has not been resolved, this is a call. This watch has no headphone jack and no independent mic+ speaker. Do you have to use the third product to make a phone call? Headphones? Realizing that Sony offers the same solution as a generation ago? Stereo Bluetooth headset? Listen to songs, voice calls, etc. Thanks to it, it caters to the concept of liberating hands.

The addition of NFC makes the connection more convenient.

And Samsung's GALAXY

Similar to Gear, Sony also introduced NFC function in smart watches.

2, the difference is that Gear built NFC into the external charging case, while smart watches

The watch has built-in NFC, which is more convenient than the former, and the pairing process is very simple. Take my Sony Xperia for example

For Z 1, turn on the NFC of the mobile phone and directly touch the back of the watch with the NFC area on the back of the fuselage. After that, the mobile phone will automatically prompt to download the connection software, and all the functions of the watch can be used normally after installation.

What is worth mentioning is cleverness.

The connection software is standard APK files, and smart watches.

2' s work is done through Bluetooth, so there is no threshold when choosing a mobile phone. You don't have to choose Sony's mobile phone I have tested Samsung, OPPO and Huawei's Android phones, and they can all use Sony smart watches normally.

2, but the matching process is not as smooth as Sony mobile phone. For example, OPPO's N 1 will download Smart during the test.

The connection system reported an error and needs to be installed manually. As far as adaptability is concerned, smart watches

Compared with Samsung's Gear, the latter can only be used in a few of its own products at present.

Multifunctional but heavily dependent on mobile phones

smartwatch

The interface style of the whole machine is basically not much different from that of the previous generation. The overall style is close to the traditional mobile phone screen, so there are not many obstacles in the adaptability of operation. The simple entry is the smart watch.

My first impression.

Similar to the current mainstream smart watches, Sony smart watches.

Without a mobile phone, you can't use it independently for the time being. Without a mobile phone, this watch can only do some basic work, such as a watch or an alarm clock. It can be said that under the condition of not connecting the mobile phone, the smart watch

More like a wristband product.

After connecting the mobile phone, the smart watch

The use of 2 will be improved qualitatively, such as checking phone records, checking text messages and emails, checking weather and calendars. Sony official data shows smart watches.

2 can support the installation of more than 200 gadgets, but at present, because this smart watch has just been listed, the number of software is still relatively small, but the basic functions of the mobile phone can already be realized through the watch.

Because the watch itself has no function of talking and taking pictures, it is impossible to complete these operations by itself. Sony also thought of this. After clicking the corresponding function on the watch, you can open the dialing interface or photo interface of the mobile phone. After dialing or taking photos with the watch, the follow-up work depends on the mobile phone.

Functionally speaking, I personally think that the most important core task of this watch is message notification, or that the core value of all smart watches that can't work independently from the mobile phone is message notification. Watches free you from the times when you had to rely on mobile phones to send and receive information. After loading the corresponding plug-in, Sony Smart Watch

2 can push messages, emails, social networks and other information in real time, and these information contents can be displayed completely on the dial.

Although smart watches

2 The minimalist design language used in the design makes the shape of this smart watch not so out of place, but it is Sony's smart watch.

2 continues a feature of mobile phones, which is waterproof. This watch supports IP57 waterproof and dustproof. This means that it is allowed to be put into water with a depth of 1 m, and it will not break down in a short time of up to 30 minutes. I soaked my watch for a while, and it was safe. Of course, no one is stupid enough to put his strap in the bathtub when taking a shower. Simple waterproof can ensure that you don't need to take off your smart watch when washing your hands or face.

2, this may be the biggest significance of this watch waterproof.

In general, smart watches

2 is not divorced from the essence of mobile phone remote control, but on the bright side, as Sony's second-generation smart watch, smart watch.

There are more and more functions that can be realized. Currently, smart watches

You can play games, receive Gmail, subscribe to RSS and other information, and even check Renren.com and Sina Weibo. SNS will have more room for development in the future, and Sony will turn smart watches into the terminal products of another social network.

Battery life is amazing.

Although the screen is only 1.6 inches, it is still a big power consumer for smart watches with weak batteries. Sony obviously thought of this. In the choice of screen material, Sony chose a semi-transparent and semi-reflective LCD screen. The advantage of this is that the watch is in a sunny place, and the screen only uses the light emitted to display the contents on the screen, which is very helpful for saving electricity.

At the same time, in order to realize the basic attributes of the watch itself, Sony is smart watches.

2. When the watch is in standby state, the screen will turn off the backlight, but due to the characteristics of the semi-reflective and semi-transparent screen, even without the backlight, the time displayed on the screen can still be clearly seen. This design not only meets the requirements of power saving, but also realizes the basic functions of the watch.

Thanks to the perfect solution of the screen power saving scheme, Sony's smart watch

The battery life of 2 is what really surprises me. According to the official data given by Sony, the use time of this watch is 3-4 days. During the two weeks I used it, the battery life of the watch can reach 8 days without connecting the mobile phone. After connecting the mobile phone, the smart watch.

The battery life of the 2 is 4 days. Compared with those smart watches on the market that last for 2 days, smart watches

It should be regarded as the representative of tenacious vitality.

abstract

Similar to most smart watches on the market at present, Sony's smart watches

2 is not a complete smart product, which is basically the keynote of mainstream smart watches at present. Being inseparable from mobile phones has become one of the problems that restrict the discovery of smart watches. Even in order to achieve relatively comprehensive functions, smart watches may have some inhuman operation modes. Obviously, smart watches still need to be improved and developed. When can I get rid of the fate of mobile phone remote control? Smart? That day.

But look back at the three smart watch products that Sony has launched, live.

View only controls the remote control of the mobile phone through Bluetooth. In order to save electricity, the smart watch reduces the product size and reduces the user experience. Only smart watches are available.

We can really see the concept of watch. It can be said that Sony is gradually improving its smart watch products. Perhaps in the smart watch products next year or the year after, Sony will bring us a completely smart watch.
