1. Why do I buy a smart bracelet

The smart bracelet is already a must-have item when I go out every day, and it is an essential part of my work life.

Since the first time I bought the bracelet 5 years ago, I have also used 3-4 bracelets successively. .

In retrospect, the reasons for the first purchase of smart bracelets should be summed up in three points:

*Weight loss exercise, record daily steps and calorie consumption to see if the goal of daily calorie gap is reached;

*Curious and early adopters. After seeing the promotion of the smart bracelet, I feel that there are still many functions, especially heart rate detection. I want to experience some functions of heart rate detection;

*Finally, the price of the bracelet is still within the budget;

2. How to choose a smart bracelet

price

With reference to your budget, current smart bracelets include both inexpensive basic bracelets with basic functions and ultra-high-end smart bracelets with more than a thousand yuan. Here I briefly summarize the five price ranges and what are their respective suits. crowd:

Within 100 yuan: entry experience, suitable for student party

100-200 yuan: Enter the class, suitable for the student party with a slightly higher budget or the people who pursue cost performance

200-500 yuan: light luxury entry-level bracelet, suitable for white-collar people;

500-1000 yuan: high-end models with more professional and powerful functions, suitable for people who have more professional and precise pursuit of sports or health in the ring;

Above 1,000 yuan: suitable for local tyrants

Features

The functions of smart bracelets can be divided into three major categories, sports, health and life. Here depends on which direction your needs are biased, because different smart bracelets have different main functional directions, and some focus on sports. Some focus on health, so choose according to your needs;

Portability/comfort

Endurance

At present, the mainstream bracelet's battery life is basically 7-14 days, and the excellent one can achieve more than 20 days, but it depends on whether to enable more power-consuming functions, such as heart rate detection, GPS and other functions. Turn on the most basic functions, that is, turn off heart rate detection, GPS and other very power-consuming functions.

Wristband material

The wristband is in direct contact with the wrist. The main considerations are the following properties:

*Material elasticity and touch will affect the wearing comfort)

*Safety, whether it causes skin allergies

*Stain resistance, whether you need to clean the bracelet frequently

*Cost, cheaper materials are needed for mass production

Silica gel

Advantages: environmental protection, non-toxic, excellent elasticity, smooth touch; low cost

Disadvantages: ultra-high water resistance leads to insufficient breathability, it will be extremely wet when worn in summer, and it is very easy to get greasy and dusty, requiring frequent cleaning

TPU

Advantages: It has good elasticity, water absorption and breathability, high strength and high abrasion resistance, and antibacterial and mildew protection reaches nano-level protection, which provides better protection for the skin, less irritation, and low cost;

Disadvantages: However, the soft touch is not very ideal, it is relatively hard, which affects the comfort of wearing;

.

TPE

Advantages: Comfortable and soft touch, excellent elasticity, can simulate the effect of soft and smooth skin; not easy to get ash, good stain resistance; non-toxic, odorless and safe, no sensitizing effect on human skin;

Disadvantages: the price is more expensive

To summarize briefly:

The most ideal material is actually TPE, but it is too expensive;

At present, mainstream bracelets basically use silicone as a material

How to fasten the wristband

Divided into two types, strap-style buckle and push-type buckle.

Strap-style buckle: The same way you usually wear a watch or buckle a belt, it is faster to get started.

Push-on buckle: As shown in the figure below, there is a protrusion on one end of the wristband. Press it into the small hole of the strap on the other end to fix it. It looks relatively simple, but the hardness of the wristband material will affect The degree of simplicity may be unsuccessful for a long time. In addition, if you press too hard when you press it, you will also hurt your wrist;

waterproof level

The current smart bracelets have basically been able to carry hands for washing and bathing, and many can be used for swimming, and the waterproof level is 50 meters waterproof;

charging method

At present, these are mainly:

USB charging

Seat charger

Wireless charging

Magnetic charging

The first two methods are more common, and the USB charging method is of course more convenient than the seat charger. It is directly inserted into the computer or mobile phone charger. After all, you must carry the mobile phone charger with you, and then you don’t need to bring more. A charging cable. ;

weight

Weight also affects the comfort of wearing the bracelet. From my personal experience, the more appropriate weight should be in the range of 22-25g, if it exceeds 25g, it will feel heavier, and if it is less than 22g, it will be lighter;

Ease of use

Whether the bracelet is easy to operate, including viewing various data, sliding the screen left and right or up and down, and touching the screen by single or multiple points;

Now the bracelet has a corresponding mobile phone app, whether the interface operation of the app is simple will also affect;

Design

screen

The factors of the screen are mainly the type of material, resolution, whether the screen is full, and the brightness is automatically adjusted.

The materials are currently mainly in these categories:

TFT: Mainly rely on the backlight to shine on the LCD screen,

OLED: Divided into two types: LCD and AMOLED, both of which have good color performance, but the former has a more complicated structure and needs to be displayed with a backlight. The display is not clear enough in the sun, while the latter panel emits light independently, and the colors are richer and brighter. The consumption is also lower, most mainstream bracelets are equipped with this type of screen;

Screen resolution: The higher the resolution, the better the display effect, of course, analogous to the resolution of mobile phones and computer displays;
