Foreword
As a multi-year old DIY player, ASUS motherboards and graphics cards have always been a soft spot. In recent years, Asustek has begun to enter the intelligent hardware. Huawei's prices are still relatively close to the people in smart phones and smart watches and other digital products. The current market price of the Asus ZenWatch 2 in Sina has been measured at 1999 yuan, and the black star style with a metal strap is slightly more expensive. Perhaps many people think that smart watches should be something that only young people, mature men should wear mechanical watches to demonstrate temperament, and Asus ZenWatch 2 is more like a smart watch for mature men, 49mm dial, manual Polished metal middle frame, so that the temperament of this smart watch does not lose the mechanical watch. Here we show you the evaluation of this watch.
Unpacking
The first time I received a trial product from Sina.com, I was not excited about it.
Asus ZenWatch 2's dial has three colors, namely warm silver, navy blue, and starry sky black, and I got this is a starry sky black. This black look is more stable, with a metal strap, ideal for business men to wear.
The back of the box has the product number and some parameters. The ASUS ZenWatch 2 uses the AMOLED 1.63 screen with a resolution of 320320. The 277ppi is not high. Relatively speaking, such a screen is still relatively power-efficient.
The trial products were all sent randomly, but I just got my favorite star black + metal strap. For the Asus ZenWatch 2, the 49mm square dial is the most suitable with a metal strap.
List of internal lists, accessories are relatively simple, if you can replace with 1-2 straps just fine.
ASUS ZenWatch 2's screen uses the third generation of Corning Gorilla Glass, and the ability to wear and fall is still good, but I did not dare to try, the measured Dongdong, I still very much love, haha. The 49mm dial uses a 2.5D micro-curved design, which is good for wearing appearance and comfort. The dial is a bit big and the friends with too fine hands are not very good.
The use of a hand-polished metal frame with a metal strap is truly eye-catching and has always favored this metal-like digital product.
ASUS ZenWatch 2 with ASUS ZenFone2 mobile phone, looks very good tune, ASUS ZenFone3 news has been more and more recently, it is estimated that will soon be on the market, the past two years Asustek's achievements in smart products is still very amazing .
The default metal strap is relatively long, people with small hands need to dismantle several segments, as long as the use of a mobile phone card pin from the strap on the hole to insert, you can remove the strap in one section, and insert the Be sure to pay attention to the direction of the time, this is an arrow on the inside of the strap. When I took the picture, I had already removed the four straps, but it was still slightly larger.
Functional presentation
The first time you turn on the Asus ZenWatch 2, you will be prompted to connect the power supply first. If the power is still enough, you can skip this step. (PS: ZenFone2's external screen was broken by me and it was not easy to display, so I used another phone to pair the connection. ZenWatch 2 is perfectly supported by both Android and IOS).
The first time you turn on your phone, you need to establish a connection with your phone via Bluetooth so that you can update the system data that you represent.
To connect with ASUS ZenWatch 2, you first need to download an app named Android Wear on your phone and turn on the Bluetooth of your phone.
At this time, the phone will search for ASUS ZenWatch 2 and connect via Bluetooth.
After the connection is successful, ASUS ZenWatch 2 will be updated through the mobile phone, and get all kinds of APP information on the mobile phone. After a simple operation can be controlled through the Asus ZenWatch 2, without having to turn the phone in the bag.
After connecting with the mobile phone successfully, you can change the dial of the Asus ZenWatch 2 on the APP of the mobile phone, and you can also change the dial inside the setting of the watch. However, more than 120 kinds of dials will be convenient for browsing on the mobile phone. ASUS ZenWatch 2's dial is free to design, through FaceDesigner can use their imagination to create their own personalized watch.
Some personal dials are displayed. Individuals prefer the blue dial, which not only shows the power, but also shows how many steps are taken today and how much heat is consumed.
In 120 dials, there are various styles, and there are many individual dials.
As long as the dial slides with your finger to the left, you can pull out the ASUS ZenWatch 2's function menu, which includes settings, schedules, alarm clocks, ASUS health management, WeChat, Sogou maps, and more.
Enter ASUS Health Management, you can set how many steps to take each day, how many push-ups, sit-ups and so on.
After the ASUS ZenWatch 2 and mobile phone Bluetooth connection, you can perform operations such as WeChat and other social app on your watch. Any news received can also be viewed with ZenWatch 2.
As long as you authorize the WeChat recording function, you can send voice and text messages to your WeChat friends through the watch. However, the text message is converted to text by voice.
Successful landing on my WeChat, even through the watch to pay, the forcing is much higher than the mobile payment. As long as you enter the payment password once on your mobile phone, you can click on the payment to generate a barcode directly on the Asus ZenWatch 2 screen. However, the cashier can scan the barcode of the watch to make a payment. This payment method will definitely become the focus on the cash register.
After logging in to WeChat, we can not only use the WeChat payment function, but also can publish text messages for voice, voice, and voice conversion.
It is a pity that the pre-installed WeChat has only 5 emoticons. Fortunately, such expressions as Aiu and Tuzki can be sold appropriately.
WeChat's voice is sent directly to the recording, and the text message needs to be transferred by audio. It is recommended that each sentence should not be too long, so that the text will be transferred quickly and with higher accuracy.
ASUS ZenWatch 2 supports Sogou maps and can be used to navigate. When you run, you can use the watch to navigate. There is no need to take out your mobile phone.
ASUS ZenWatch 2's map features are not much different from those on mobile phones. Positioning and navigation are all very well supported.
The ASUS ZenWatch 2 has a microphone, but it does not have a speaker, so although there is a function that can only make calls by voice, it can only be called by the mobile phone, and the answer still needs to be heard with a mobile phone.
As long as you are listening, say "Call XXX", ASUS ZenWatch 2 will automatically dial XXX by phone. Through the phone's listening function, not only can you call, you can also open WeChat, search for place names, and search through Sogou Encyclopedia.
ZenWatch 2's charging design is very special, is the use of 4-point contact, and through the attraction of the magnet to connect.
Only one direction can be sucked up, and the other direction is mutually exclusive, so don't worry about charging plugged in. This design contact is not tight enough, it is possible to touch a little, it was found that charging has stopped. So don't use the watch when charging.
ZenWatch uses a 400mAh battery, charging time is generally more than 1 hour, but I did not completely run out of charge every time I charge, I can generally use 2-3 days to charge a power, the screen I was set to be Bright, brightness is 3.
