"Millet's bracelet" and "Xiaomi Sports App"'s "Xiaomi Eco Chain" company, Huami Technology, released a smart watch called "Mille Watch" in the afternoon of August 30th. In fact, Hua Mi is unwilling to stress the word "smart watch." Huang Wong, CEO, said that their product positioning is a professional sports watch. For the standard Garmin, the smart part is presented to the user.
"Amazfit Sport Watch" is the exact name of this watch, which belongs to Amazfit, a self-owned brand of Valmet Technologies. If you abbreviate it as "Wahimi Watch," Huami's people won't be angry; but if you abbreviate "millet watch," Xiaomi's spokesman may not be happy.
In addition to the launch of the millet bracelet, the Amazfit brand bracelet was launched last year. The main style of the bracelet is the style of the ring bracelet of ceramic material, which is impressive. This ceramic material has been extended on the new Wahimi sports watch, so the Amazfit sports watch also has a "brilliant" style. Compared with the "professional sports watch" in people's general impression, this product is more than a point of fashion sense, and there is less of a feeling of distribution for fans.
In fact, this "professional sports watch" has indeed been discounted in terms of the waterproof performance enthusiasts care about. It provides the same IPX 7 waterproof rating as the regular watch Apple Watch, which can be immersed in water for 30 minutes; it is less than the “10 ATM†of the target product Garmin fenix3 HR, which is 100 meters waterproof (10 atmospheres). The difference is that one can only wear a cold shower and one can play snorkeling.
But if you consider the price comparison between the two, 5880 yuan vs 799 yuan, it seems that everything can be forgiven again. Even Hua Mi claims to bring a killer, that is, life can be up to 2 times Garmin's product. When the GPS and heart rate monitoring sensors are turned on all the time, the Wahimi watches can work for 35 hours and the Garmin 16. For runners who experience over 100 kilometers of cross-country, more than 30 hours of long-term running means no need for the entire journey. Charging, "Garmin will need to run while charging, or wear two watches rotation." Huami also revealed that if used normally, in the "half a day running, receiving 200 messages push" condition, the battery life can reach 5 day.
In the "smart" section, Huami mentioned that cooperation with Alipay can support scan code payments. According to Lei Feng Network, Huami's watch system is based on the Android platform, and has digged Zhang Lei from Google’s US headquarters. He has participated in several Android-related projects. It is not yet clear how compatible this system is with Google Watch’s Android Wear platform software. The domestic Android platform smart watch is faced with an embarrassing problem and is not supported by WeChat and QQ. Lei Feng network (search "Lei Feng network" public concern) asked Huang Wang on this issue, he said he had met Zhang Xiaolong, the other recognized Huami watch the main sports field practice, but for the cooperation between the two parties "can not say for the time being."
The better news than 799 yuan is that if you are a runner or want to be a runner, this watch does not need to wait. Tomorrow, that is, the morning of August 31, can be purchased on the mainstream e-commerce website.
For this team that successfully created a national product--millet bracelet, this is the second attack of its own brand, Amazfit, but don't forget that the company's predecessor, the "chivalrous device", was done as early as in 2013. Have a "smart watch". This time, they know more about what kind of wearable devices users need than others.
