Let's take a look at the smart watches released at present. In order to experience all kinds of dazzling skills, we also focus on health sports and launch continuous blood oxygen monitoring. The interactive experience has been greatly improved, but what consumers are most concerned about is: battery life, no need for old charging, which is just what consumers need.
Ordinary consumers scoff at smart watches, or just look at them instead of buying them. In the final analysis, the battery life of smart watches is still too poor. Technology manufacturers deliberately avoid talking about battery life, or add "power saving mode" and lie that they can last 18 days and a half. Do you believe this statement?
Summary at the beginning: It's not that the current smart phone doesn't have enough exercise and healthy interaction, but that the battery life is too poor. Without a good battery life solution, why do ordinary consumers spend thousands of dollars on smart watches? Buy a thousand yuan mobile phone, doesn't it smell good?
In fact, it's not that brands don't want to improve the life of smart watches, but that the limitations of battery materials and technology make it difficult to achieve a breakthrough in the life of smart watches. However, there are also smart watch brands, hoping to start with the most power-consuming "display screen", combined with 40% battery capacity expansion, and achieve efficient battery life improvement through "color screen+black and white screen" and double-layer display technology. At the same time, the design is skillfully used to weaken the battery thickness to the maximum extent visually, making the product look "lighter and thinner".
The full name of this smart watch is Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3, which comes from an artificial intelligence company with voice interaction and soft and hard combination as its core. Now, let's begin to experience evaluation.
I am the owner of the first generation TicWatch Pro. Two years ago, I bought the first TicWatch Pro supporting double-layer persistent display technology. Two years later, it has developed to the third generation model.
When I first saw TicWatch Pro 3, I felt that the large round screen of 1.39 inches was clearer, and the screen was very clear and the color gamut was wider from any angle. At the same time, the case is still a familiar scale design, giving people a simple and fashionable feeling. The overall design is visually "narrowed", which is obviously more fashionable and stylish.
Austenite 3 16L fine steel, familiar formula, familiar taste, the first generation of Pro watches also adopted this scheme. However, the new Pro 3 adopts the vacuum coating A-class process, which is higher in process and more comfortable in hand compared with smart watches of the same level. From the first perspective, it is still so luxurious and fashionable.
The first generation of Pro, I once complained that the thickness of the whole watch was too large and it felt heavy on my wrist. However, the thickness control of TicWatch Pro 3 is very close to the traditional quartz watch, and the thinness has been deeply improved. According to official data, compared with the previous generation, the thickness of the new watch is reduced by 0.4mm, which is only12.2 mm. ..
It is hard to understand that this generation of TicWatch Pro 3 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 100 flagship chip with built-in 577mAh battery. In fact, compared with many smart watches with the same price, its performance and battery capacity are one echelon higher, but the weight is controlled at 42.3g, which is commendable.
TicWatch Pro 3 I have been experiencing it for more than half a month. My most intuitive feeling is that its endurance is really good. You don't have to take off your watch all the time to charge it for three days. If you only turn on the persistent mode, you can achieve a long battery life of 45 days according to the introduction page.
On the other hand, the Apple Watch that my friend is using, as well as watches of various brands on the Internet, are charging almost every day, maintaining the same charging rhythm as smartphones.
Since the whole world can't change the battery life, the idea of Mobvoi TicWatch is to change the screen display scheme while improving the battery capacity, and cooperate with the double-layer persistent display technology to achieve longer battery life.
In the generation of TicWatch Pro 3 smart watches, this technology has been renamed as "Dual Screen 2.0", that is, full-color AMOLED screen +FSTN LCD screen to improve the endurance of products, and its reliability and practicality have reached the performance of both.
How is dual-screen 2.0 implemented? Is it reliable?
Let me give you a conclusion first. TicWatch Pro 3' s double-layer display is very reliable, which is a practical difficulty to effectively overcome the poor endurance of smart watches. Simply put, TicWatch Pro 3 has two screens: one is a full-color AMOLED screen and the other is a monochrome LCD screen. When you look at the watch screen obliquely in the sun, you can vaguely see the monochrome LCD screen covering the top floor. The look and feel of this screen is a bit like what we usually call an "ink screen".
The FSTN LCD screen of TicWatch Pro 3 has backlight mode, which is very clear at night and consumes very little power. When you use it as a whole, when you put your hand down, the watch will automatically turn on the "smart mode", and then the picture will directly enter the monochrome LCD screen. If you need to use a full-color screen, just click to start it.
So far, this technology has only been used in TicWatch Pro series, and it has not been seen in other brands or even other model series of the same brand. This technology is undoubtedly a patented technology with extremely high threshold and extremely challenging process. The emergence of TicWatch Pro 3 has indeed realized the embarrassing scene of changing the battery life of smart watches to "charge for more than one day".
TicWatch Pro 3 also supports "persistent mode", that is, it only uses a monochrome LCD screen for display, but it can use functions such as date, time, power, step counting, heart rate measurement, NFC bus, subway card swiping, etc., which can meet most of the needs.
There will definitely be friends who are puzzled. Will the dual-screen solution of TicWatch Pro 3 cause the display effect and durability to decrease? In fact, according to my experience of the first generation of TicWatch Pro, it is not much different from other smart watches. On the contrary, it will be more eye-friendly when used at night and will not affect the bright colors of AMOLED. At the same time, there is not much difference in durability
Mobvoi, the brand of TicWatch Pro 3, is actually an AI technology unicorn company invested by Google. Therefore, TicWatch Pro 3 is also equipped with the Google operating system Wear OS, the original Google Watch system, which greatly improves the fluency and practicality of operation and better breaks away from the shackles of mobile phones.
In addition, the advantages of Mobvoi voice AI technology are also very obvious. Ask TicWatch Pro 3 where my car is parked, turn on the desk lamp and check the weather. An assistant can help you. In addition, the recorder application and offline wake-up words are some highlights of this smart watch.
Bring your own map, Didi taxi, translator, FM radio. These functions are built into TicWatch Pro 3. At the same time, it also supports downloading more than 180 apps, covering returning WeChat, checking flights, listening to songs online and watching videos. These experiences are convenient enough and are not much different from smartphones.
In addition to a variety of APP ecosystems, with the support of Mobvoi AI voice interaction technology, TicWatch Pro 3 not only supports offline double wake-up words, but also adds exclusive recording function. This makes it not only a smart watch, but also a wrist AI recorder.
TicWatch Pro 3 has a full-scene NCF chip, which means the experience of "paying by hand". You don't need to rely on your mobile phone to tie a transportation card, you can also complete online payment by subway, bus and UnionPay card. At the same time, it also supports Alipay offline code scanning function, which can make mobile payment without network, and even serve as an access card to open the door.
ESIM card is familiar to everyone, that is, the terminal equipment has a built-in calling card. The TicWatch Pro 3 I use is a 4G version, which can use the whole Netcom 4G and support VoLTE calls. I really got rid of the shackles of mobile phones. I think I still need to buy a smart watch with a 4G full netcom solution. This flagship watch also has an entry-level Bluetooth version.
Nowadays, blood oxygen monitoring is very popular, and many flagship smart watches can see this function. TicWatch Pro 3 adds the function of detecting oxygen saturation. In my actual experience, it can intuitively display the user's oxygen saturation, and make tables in use, so that users can grasp their physical condition faster.
At the same time, TicWatch Pro 3 also supports stress detection to help users understand their daily stress changes, and users can adjust their own stress. I think this function is simply the "996 life-saving artifact" of IT people, which can better adjust their work mentality.
More importantly, TicWatch Pro 3 supports heart rate monitoring function, which can help people monitor human heart rate anytime and anywhere, thus better protecting our heart and lung health. In addition, TicWatch Pro 3 also supports sleep management. If you want to know your sleep quality, you can also master your sleep situation through it.
If you use the external speaker of the smart watch outdoors, you will obviously feel that the sound is too small during the call. When I was using TicWatch Pro 3, I accidentally found that it supports intelligent detection of ambient sound, which can turn down the volume in a noisy environment and better help users complete the call.
Limited to space, I am afraid that you will feel verbose, and the article ends here.
The evaluation of TicWatch Pro 3 includes the first part of appearance, the second part of battery life and the third part of function highlights, such as recording and transcription, Snapdragon 4 100 chip fluency, 13 motion mode and active motion recognition. These functions need users to experience themselves to feel their accomplishments, which is beyond the control of video or graphics. Naturally, you need to get to know them yourself.
In my personal opinion, no matter how good a smart watch is, the battery life is empty talk. TicWatch Pro 3 has achieved "people have it, I also have it" in function, but it has always maintained the competitive advantage of "I have it, it doesn't" in battery life. I think these are the biggest charm of this smart watch.
