I still remember that in the past few years when I was working as a website, I had peers doing smart wearable devices, but everyone didn't know much about the industry. The prices were high, Internet thinking, and gimmicks were all in one, and some of the more famous manufacturers repeatedly skipped the tickets. The threshold for entry to the ring started to fire, and the real leader in the market was the next-generation price butcher, Xiaomi.
It is almost two years since the generation of millet bracelets was released. In two years, nearly 200 million pieces have been sold on the 1st generation of bracelets. This is undoubtedly a success, and many generations of users' feedback has improved. , it will cause the market crazy, whether it is millet hunger marketing, or market demand is great, as long as the sale is an instant sell-out scene, participated in several panic buying, no return.
We are fortunate to have obtained this trial opportunity through an event and share our personal experience with everyone.
No.1 Unpacking Appreciation
Although it is customary to open the box, but millet's industrial design capability is undoubtedly worth a lot of industry players to learn, packaging is simple, design MUJI strong, do not waste a place.
But this time the millet bracelet 2 has a bad feeling when it is out of the box. It is too much friction and the box with the bracelet is difficult to separate from the top cover.
Open the top cover, the box shines like a black gem in the middle, the effect of the drawing button on the overall promotion is very large, but also distinguish the positive and negative aspects of the body.
The back of the bracelet 2 is the product-related information. The manufacturer is Huami Information Technology and it is the millet ecological chain enterprise. From the current point of view, it is the most important partner for Xiaomi’s wearable equipment. Bracelet 2 uses Bluetooth 4.0 BLE technology, saving power and durability, even if the battery is only 70mah still able to provide longer life, waterproof IP67 can be competent for daily emergencies, hot bath is not recommended to wear.
Wristbands and rice grains are also very cleverly designed. The grain is hidden in a uniquely designed lattice. It can be torn open, but it can also be embedded in the middle of the wristband. You do not want to destroy this design, and take another step to take out the rice.
In addition to the product descriptions, the most important accessories are nothing more than the body, wristbands, and cords. The color is very uniform. The overall difference is not very different from the one-generation product. It seems that everyone is satisfied with this kind of design.
No.2 generation and second generation product comparison
The comparison between the two generations of products is the most direct, and it can be seen that the manufacturers have made improvements in the two years of homework.
In terms of product design, there is not much difference. The color matching is changed from silver to black. Due to the increase of second-generation functions, the appearance of the second generation is larger than the whole generation. The bottom two electric shocks are mainly used for charging. .
The top of the generation product is designed with a sleek coating that is easy to scratch, while the second-generation product is on the one hand because of the need for screen display, on the other hand the whole is more tidy, and the arc surface is changed to the plane. From the current feedback point of view, it is still easy to be Scratching, so it is definitely not Corning Gorilla Glass and other materials, but more than a generation strong, especially brushed touch processing is very good, very smooth.
Due to the increase of functions, the additional heart rate detection needs to be close to the skin, and the heart rate detection element is a convex one, which sounds like a very large device. We monitor the data of our running sports, and through the data we understand our physical condition and regulate the state.
In the wristband, the grain is very similar, and it is not very attractive. During the trial period, colleagues did not recognize it well, and it was a relatively low-key product. We will enrich and improve our internal environment and do not pursue external innovations.
The holes in the second generation products are smaller than those in the first generation. The material of the wristbands should be softer. The skin materials are still very comfortable to wear. The fit is very good. It is easy to contaminate the dust, and it is not necessary to specifically find the holes. Easy to buckle.
The green light of the heart rate test has a hint of mystery. When the heart rate cannot be detected, it will stop soon and the sensitivity is high.
Of course, the biggest change is the screen display, the screen can be very convenient display time, look no longer have to pull out the phone, but also by default provide the number of steps, heart rate. The introduction makes it clear that in the competition with the younger partner who does not have to open the APP connection, it can be read directly by pressing twice.
Compared with the second-generation weight of the wristband, some people on the Internet said that the result of the comparison is 7g. Some people compare the weight of rice grains. I personally think that they are worn on the hands, and the weight of the wristbands is more consistent with our daily habits. It can be seen from the figure that the weights of the two differ only by 3g. Even if the accessories are increased, the changes are minimal, they are very light, and do not burden the arm. Â Â Â Â
Installing Xiaomi Sports App is not very satisfactory. Since Xiaomi's ecological chain, it should be solved by an application. At present, in my mobile phone, millet movement, small ant camera, and millet smart family occupy three positions if they are unified. Linkage will follow.
The installation does not require too much special permission to access the SD card for data reading and writing. It is also suggested that the GPS is turned on to enable better data recording when running. It does not have to be opened.
It can be seen from the millet movement that there are currently only three sports products, such as the millet bracelet, weight scale, and intelligent running shoes. Each account can only be bound to one product of a category. For example, I want to bind an account with two bracelets. It cannot be done.
The first thing after the binding is the automatic upgrade, indicating that Xiaomi's technical team is also correcting the firmware in real time according to the user feedback to ensure the accuracy and stability of the data.
The appearance change is not very big, then the difference in function is not small, the left hand ring for the generation, the right hand ring for the second generation, the second generation of products is much richer than the previous generation, you can set APP to inform the information such as WeChat And so on, but also pay more attention to the health of life, sedentary reminder, with the theme of millet sports more collocation, but also learn from Apple's features. Although it is not innovative, it is becoming more and more perfect, with a price of more than 100 yuan, rich product features, and good value for money.
Inspired by netizens, I specifically contrasted the records of the second generation of generations of sleep monitoring. I found that one generation of products was more accurate than the second generation of products. For example, I was awake for 2 minutes, and it was really 2 minutes in the early morning. What did you know? , is not yet wake up. However, the second-generation bracelet could not be detected. Do you think that I am in sleepwalking?
However, the data is almost the same as a whole, and there is no problem as independent monitoring for daily monitoring. A good quality of sleep is still helpful. According to the time record, some measures can be taken to make it easier for people to fall asleep and relieve fatigue.
In the APP side can be set to display the function of the touch, the clock as the most common daily function selected by default, the heat, the remaining power can also be displayed on the bracelet on the small screen, because usually the information is the state of the screen, so the millet bracelet 2 is still quite Power-saving, the official claimed to stand by for 20 days, it should still be no problem, as long as the screen does not shine, after all, a generation of standby longer.
No.3 product summary
After a period of wearing and familiarizing, millet bracelet 2 is still a relatively good product after the two years of technology precipitation. As the title says, the improvement is complete, and the progress of seeing is heard by the majority of netizens. The most basic time display function of the bracelet is achieved, and APP has added many useful functions for sports health. It is worth us to use and greatly facilitates our daily life.
Not a member who likes to run, the time and the number of steps is the two points that I use everyday to watch very much. The function of raising the wrist and light is sensitive, but sometimes it is so sensitive that we don't want to watch the time. It's bright. I want to watch the time flash. It's gone. So turn off this cost function and click it when needed. It is not so high.
Another point, when there are two millet bracelet binding attention to each other, otherwise it will have an impact on each other, binding fails, if you can carry out unique matching will avoid many problems. And each time the synchronization of the APP feels very slow, this is also a drawback of Bluetooth, you need to establish a connection and then transfer.
However, for the price of the product, Xiaomi once again reached the peak of the bracelet, challenged itself, a product with high cost performance, the next step hopes to increase production capacity, so that more people use this product.
