Innovation and gimmicks â€” Ticwatch 2 NFC in-depth experience

At the end of November, knowing that the Ticwatch2 NFC version was purely accidental, Gear S3 had just been sold in the United States and was priced at US$349.99. Although the price fell to US$299.99 due to the black five, the price was still high due to the impact of the low exchange rate market. . On the other hand, Gear S3, which is being sold by Amazon in the United States, does not support direct mail in China. It is inconvenient after the sale, and the Bank of Chinaâ€™s version has not issued a listing yet, but it has to wait and see.

However, when he swipes his microblog, he just saw the release of Ticwatch2 NFC version a few days ago. At that time, he was still in Jingdong crowdfunding, and the price started at 1299 yuan. Considering that the Ticwatch2 NFC version supports cloud flash payment and transportation card functions, it is half as cheap as the expected price of the Gear S3. When I saw the 1299 yuan stall has been robbed, only 1399 yuan version, a plastic strap and a steel membrane. On the way to the relevant information, he discovered the T-Code cashback activity. After participating in crowdfunding, he can register and cash back 200 yuan. At that time, he contacted crowdfunding customer service. The answer was that T-Code had already robbed, but it was later on Ticwatch2. The T code was successfully obtained on the NFC release introduction page. In simple terms, many things seem to be a foregone conclusion, but there are still hopes of trying to fight for it. After receiving the T code, I feel more cost-effective, buy buy, mobile phone side 1,389 yuan, use the crowded 999-100 yuan coupons of Jingdong financial platinum members, paid 1289 yuan, cash back is 1089 yuan.

After successful payment the end of November, will enter a long wait, many users request delivery in December ahead of the official customer service were turned down, not easy to wait until early January crowdfunding successful conclusion, but still failed to deliver immediate official The announcement is still debugging the flash payment and transportation card functions and will be shipped on January 17.

As always, the lucky draw has participated in more than a dozen times, and has not been favored by the god of luck.

On the evening of the 16th, before taking a bath, he took off the second generation of the Microsoft bracelet that was worn for six months. He was surprised to find that the strap was cracked! ! ! What came after all was coming, and reluctantly put on the Sony SmartbandTalk SWR30 that was eating gray. However, the SF WeChat pushed the express mail collection notification that evening and finally shipped, and Shenzhen to Guangzhou. The next morning, Shunfengâ€™s little brother was sent to the courier counter below. Get the hand at night after work.

A small express box containing Ticwatch2NFC product box, Ticwatch2 custom tempered film and a random colored watchband.

The UnionPay QuickPass logo is affixed to the upper right corner of the box, which indicates that this product supports payment by UnionPay Cloud.

The slogan "Timely, Life is Fun" won my heart~

Open the box and see the front face of the Ticwatch2 NFC.

In addition, there is a thin manual that describes the instructions and precautions for connecting the phone for the first time.

Power adapter, power cable, wireless charging base.

With regard to the opening of the Ticwatch2, you can see more, and the packaging of the NFC version is basically the same. We will not go into details one by one. In terms of appearance, the front face of the dial is concise, and it looks like a bowl on the side and its thickness is acceptable. Compared to a generation of Ticwatch, scratching the touch bar hidden from the right side of the chassis to the right, so that the design makes Ticwatch2 look more concise.

Above the dial is made of silver steel, drawing process is generally easy to stain the impurities affect the value. Unfortunately, there is only one paragraph in the crowdfunding of NFC version Ticwatch 2, and there is no black dial version.

The display material is normal glass. Since the NFC version of the crowdfunding page does not have the sapphire version option, careful screen protection is required. Because of this, some of the crowdfunding support projects provide tempered film, the value of 30 yuan? ? ? With a tempered film, you don't have to worry too much about the screen being scratched. My filming process is very general, so the edges of the screen are a bit airy when I've just pasted it, but the next day I was pleasantly surprised to find that the air bubbles were not noticeable.

The strap is a black leather strap and the 1399 yuan crowdfunded version comes with a plastic strap that I received in white.

The steps to replace the strap are simple, one can.

The ear part of the ear is a bit pickpocketing, the problem of the workmanship.

On the back, the heart rate detection sensor is in the middle. Around the product information instructions.

Long press the power button on the left side of the crown to boot, the right side I am referring to is relative to me, you can turn the strap according to the user's own situation, put the power button and scratch the touch bar on the right and Left side.

Based on Android 5.1 custom Ticwear system.

Compared with the MOTO360, the Ticwatch2's screen has no black borders, which is very popular with patients with obsessive compulsive disorder, but at the cost of a light sensor, the screen brightness can only be manually adjusted.

Prompt to connect a mobile phone, you can connect by scanning the screen QR code, you can also use the traditional Bluetooth method to connect to the phone. Afterwards, if you need to untie and replace the currently bound phone, you need to reset Ticwatch2 and re-bind the connection through the above method.

After the binding is successful, enter the operation guide. The main interface is the shortcut operation bar, the slide is the notification center, the right slide is the program drawer, and the left slide out to ask the voice assistant. In the operation interface, slide back to the right; in the notification center, slide right to delete the notification. With the palm of your hand holding the entire screen, you can quickly turn off the screen and enter low-power standby mode.

The default screen is a low-power mode is on, touch the screen or click the power button to wake up and lit color screen, can also open, raising his hand in a gesture bright screen set up inside, raised his hand so that you can light up the color screen to view the notification message, The sensitivity is also decent.

It also supports some gestures and convenient functions. The wrists can be shaken up and down to switch up and down information flow. It is a very useful function.

Last year I used the US version of the MOTO360 Sport with the native Android Wear system. By comparison, the interface design of the Ticwear system is roughly similar to that of Android Wear, so I have almost no difficulty in getting started.

# # Android Wear sun first site sports a new chapter: the US version of the MOTO 360 Sport-depth experience of a sports version, the mentality of 2014, Google launched Android smartphone AndroidWear open the door dressed, MOTO360 first generation also will be launched and become the same period Industry benchmarks. As the first generation of Android smart watch, MOTO360 in good faith on the face value, except that milestone Milestone era TIOMAP single-core CPU performance and battery life are leading to lag behind other jelly Aberdeen | Like Comment Favorite View details

But some of the functional logic is still a bit of a gap, such as a theater mode on Android Wear, did not inherit in Ticwear. In Cinema mode, you can temporarily turn off the screen, but still remain connected to the phone, and you can use it normally by clicking the power button to light up the screen. On Ticwear, there is only the power-saving mode. After the power-saving mode is turned on, the connection with the mobile phone is disconnected and the screen is closed. Click the power button to light the screen to display only the date and time. Press and hold the power button to exit the power-saving mode. Perhaps the original intention is to maximize the power savings to apply to low battery or sleep at night, but I still need some time to adapt.

Support for heart rate testing, but it seems that there is no continuous timing detection, requiring the user to open the health application to test, may also be a power-saving compromise. There is no sleep detection at night, so the only thing you can do while sleeping is to wake up as an alarm clock. However, it is very useful to wake up the alarm clock, the alarm clock set by the mobile phone can not guarantee that you can wake me up once, but the vibration and sound of the alarm clock on the Ticwatch2 can wake me up every time.

Ticwatch2 NFC version also supports 3G communication function, built-in 3G module of the people's live communication, monthly functional fee can be used as an independent communication device after activation, even if you can leave the mobile phone can also call and visit the network. For me, there is no need for much, and after the 3G function is turned on, it is a test for the battery life, so I have not activated the 3G module.

Regarding the appearance of Ticwatch2 and the introduction of system functions, there are also many original related and measured reports in the station, so as to avoid duplication, I will only write some of the details mentioned in the previous articles.

The cloud flash payment function can be used for brush table consumption on POS machines with the QuickPass logo. At present, only Minsheng Bank debit cards are supported. The banks that are promised to support crowdfunding are still in talks, and there is no guarantee when they are supported.

In order to use the watch to pay, I specifically applied for a debit card and applied for a credit card. When binding a bank card, click on the "Pay" box on the Ticwear assistant. The bank card column always shows that the eSE is not initialized. Let me try again later. Restart the phone and watch can not be resolved, and finally reset the watch to re-bind it, it can be seen that the debugging of the payment module is optimized in general.

The process of binding the Minsheng Bank debit card is relatively smooth. After the binding is completed, double-click the crown to wake up the payment interface and pay for the POS machine that supports flash payment.

In the convenience store in Kissmore, pro-test payment was successful. However, it did not enjoy the full reduction of the UnionPay Cloud payment. Later, in the 711 convenience store, consumer attempts failed three times, for unknown reasons.

Selling ads, this is my introductory article on HCE cloud flash payment. Although the Ticwear system is based on Android, Ticwatch2 is not in the category of HCE, but belongs to the eSE cloud payment payment standard of manufacturers such as Samsung Pay/Mi Pay. Most of the cloud flash payment promotions have restrictions on device requirements, so Ticwatch2NFC, a niche device, is likely to be overlooked.

Options other than XX Pay: After several years of deployment, HCE Cloud Payment has become more and more mature, with offline payment up to buy digital home appliances, down to buy fast food drinks, and most merchants can pay via Alipay/Wechat. Open the QR code to pay for the transfer. After that, UnionPay loses its way to the starting line. Although it launched an IC debit/credit card with integrated QuickPas function several years ago, it has been underestimated and has been ignored by Tencent Ali.

In addition to the payment method of cloud flash payment, Ticwatch2 can also use the built-in Alipay APP to scan code offline payments. After binding the Alipay account, open the Alipay APP's bar code page on the watch for consumption. At present, only the bar code is supported.

WeChat payment is also supported, but you need to enable Android Wear compatibility mode and synchronize WeChat application on your mobile phone to the watch. Open the WeChat AW version APP and click on â€œPayâ€ to scan and purchase. WeChat payment supports barcode and QR code payment.

After turning on AW mode, you can sync your Android Wear app on your phone to your watch. Considering the experience of domestic users, only Android Wear China version can be used, ie the castrated version, with fewer applications supported. What's more worth buying in more than 100 applications and WeChat customize the corresponding application on Android Wear, and the function is relatively simple. . In addition to WeChat payment, it is also possible to send some facial expressions, push notifications, reply voice or speech to text.

Supports the call on the watch, the loudspeaker volume is not big, on the double-card dual-standby mobile phone dials to the watch can only select the main card number to carry on the conversation. Practicality, emergency use is OK, and chat with the watch all day in the eyes of passers-by who do not know the truth.

The voice assistant on the Ticwatch2 is relatively smart and mature compared to other Chinese voice assistants. It is only relatively speaking. It is still relatively far from the Google Assistant/Cortana/Siri. The main drawback is that the Chinese voice broadcast is too rigid, and the recognition rate is not high in areas where there is a lot of noise. There is a certain probability that the answer is not answered. In addition, once the voice begins to speak, sometimes even if you return to the main interface, you will still be able to finish the conversation. This is awkward.
