Multifunctional mini sports bracelet try Le Wei classic now.

IT 168 Evaluation The little black series of smart watches launched by WeLoop at the end of last year caused quite a stir, and the two functions of music control and remote photography brought great playability. As a smart bracelet brand full of geek spirit in China, WeLoop Xiaohei seems to also give Google? After the listing of Glass, it brought surprises to the domestic wearable device industry. And what about WeLoop, which was launched a few months later? The Now series focuses on the stylish and compact appearance that is more popular with young people. Its more practical functions and the affordable price of 199 yuan, after receiving rave reviews in the crowdfunding stage, are also doomed to hold high-profile sales in the e-commerce platform that has just been put on the shelves.

Bian Xiao's demo this time is a classic version of Now series (hereinafter referred to as "Now C"). The touch screen has no key design, incoming call+information reminder, basic data recording, sleep quality management, motion trajectory, 30-meter waterproof and other functions that are incomparable now. The selling point lies in the smaller and lighter body. From the current acrylic board to the high-hardness mineral glass, three different colors of replaceable wristbands are standard, which is naturally more expensive than the former.

▲ packaging

Now C uses a detachable package with geometric elements, which is simple and creative. Black sleeves and green boxes match a sense of fashion and technology.

▲ Parts list

The whole green box is opened from one side, covered with a manual, and the bracelet accessories are unpacked at the bottom, including the body, three-color bracelet, buckle and charger.

▲ small figure

Now C is called "the smallest bracelet so far". Its size is 43.4× 17.9×9.3mm and its weight is 7 grams. The surface of the fuselage is covered with high-hardness mineral glass, which supports 30 meters waterproof. After the fuselage is unpacked, squeeze it into your favorite wristband by the grooves on both sides. After installation, it is still relatively firm, perfectly embedded without gaps, and finally put into the buckle, which can be used for wearing.

▲ Tri-color wristband

Now C presents three kinds of wristbands for users to replace, namely, vibrant red, deep and low-key black and dark blue in between, which basically covers the users who can best represent the mainstream personality pursuit. Change a wristband to express your feelings in different ways and satisfy your changeable desires.

▲ wristband

This kind of wristband is made of TPS plastic, which is flexible and comfortable, and is very suitable for wearing on the skin. The surface of the wristband is a dense diamond mesh, which is fashionable and beautiful, while the number of holes in the longer part of the inner side is 13. When wearing, it is fixed by two buckles, which is common for wrists of all sizes for men and women, and the groove design is added to the contact surface, which increases the breathability and comfort of wrist wearing and reduces sweat accumulation.

▲ charger

▲ Computer charging

The back of the Now C fuselage is engraved with the gold Weloop logo and model, and there are four metal contacts below for connecting the charger. The charger can be connected to the Micro USB charging cable commonly used in our Android phone, and now C is equipped with a short wire. The charger can be plugged into a metal point at the bottom of the fuselage, and the other end can be plugged into a computer USB port to charge, which is convenient and labor-saving. The word "charge" will appear on the touch screen, and it only takes 30 minutes to fill it at a time. In terms of battery life, according to Bian Xiao's test, it can last for 5 days after being fully charged.

Long press and click Action:

▲ Time and date interface

Now C uses 1 inch to touch the organic light-emitting diode display screen with white characters on a black background, which is very practical and intuitive. Support long press, click and slide, and the interaction is very simple and smooth. When the bracelet is black, press it for one second, and the time and date interface will be displayed on the screen, which meets the most basic query function of users.

▲ Interface of power supply, device ID and firmware version

Click the screen with your finger to switch to the interface of power supply, device ID and firmware version. The remaining power can tell us when we need to charge. If the battery is close to zero, the bracelet will force a charging prompt to pop up. The device ID is the same as the ID number bound on the APP, and it is independent; The following three digits are also consistent with the firmware version number on the APP.

▲ Long press to find the phone.

The next interface is to find the function of the mobile phone. When the bracelet is connected to the mobile APP, long pressing this interface will make the mobile phone ring, and the user can find the location of the mobile phone according to the sound source, and the "Find Mobile Phone" prompt will pop up on the mobile phone screen. Click OK, turn off the bell, and further confirm that the mobile phone has been found. This is a very practical function for friends who often lose things.

▲ Power saving mode

Turning on and off the power saving mode determines whether to connect the mobile APP. If you need to synchronize data, that is, transfer the data in the bracelet to the APP, the power saving mode will be turned off; Otherwise, if you want to extend the battery life a little, turn on the power-saving mode to disconnect the Bluetooth connection, temporarily save the data in the bracelet first, and then synchronize it in a few days.

Slide left and right:

▲ Data recording interface

Slide to the left in any of the above interfaces to display the data recording interface. Here, you can click the screen switch to display the number of walking steps, calories burned and mileage.

▲ Messages and call tips

Message and call prompt are one of the necessary practical functions of many smart bracelets. Now you can realize C by swiping your finger to the right. You can selectively add messages to be displayed on the APP on the screen, such as WeChat, QQ, SMS, email and other programs with text prompts. In addition, the interface contains messages and incoming calls, which are arranged in chronological order, because only two lines are displayed on the screen, and it is a bit difficult to operate if the messages are not filtered reasonably.

▲ Comfortable to wear

Now c is just right for the general wrist shape. With the groove texture on the wristband, it is suitable for long-term wear and keeps the wrist skin dry. It's just that C doesn't support vertical screen display mode for the time being, so it's not convenient to view information when the fuselage is worn on the surface. Therefore, the vertical screen display mode is also a function that many Now series users agree to join, but the official of WeLoop is already following up.

▲APP initialization

For the APP, we must download the WeLoop corresponding to the Now series in official website, not the Little Black series. After entering the APP, the first interface is to prompt you to register and log in, and then enter your personal information, age, height, weight and so on. When finished, you can allow Bluetooth connection and enable application notification, and then add the "Now Classic" device in the "Devices" interface. If "Connected" is displayed after successful addition, the bracelet can be used normally.

▲ Daily data record

The data records in WeLoop are quite rich and detailed. The single-day data page intuitively records the user's walking steps, distance, calorie consumption and the corresponding target completion degree in a day. Except for occasional synchronization delay, the recording accuracy is no problem. Pull to the bottom of the menu, and you will find that the time nodes of exercise and rest are recorded one by one within 24 hours.

▲ Data label

If you click on the label chart at each time node, a small page will be expanded to record all the data at that time point in detail. If there is a record of running or walking that day, you can also open the trajectory map after expanding on this node, showing the starting point and ending point of displacement and the trajectory between them, which are calculated by the mobile phone GPS and then displayed on this map. To experience this function, the premise is that you turn on the motion trajectory function.

▲ Synchronize data

Drag your finger down the interface, that is, manually synchronize the data, and the bracelet will also display the synchronization status. There is another important point to mention here. If the bracelet is in power-saving mode (Bluetooth turned off) for more than 7 days without synchronizing data, the data stored in the bracelet within these 7 days will be automatically erased to prepare for the next recording.

▲ Weekly/monthly data

In the upper right corner of the daily data recording page, click to enter the weekly/monthly data recording page. The total data for one week/month will be fully recorded here. In the middle, the changing trend of daily exercise in this time unit (the specific amount is not displayed), the average daily calorie consumption and the percentage comparison with last week's data will be recorded. The bottom will record the percentage of target exercise for one week. On the other hand, purple represents the detection data of sleep quality within a week/month, and the sleep quality can be judged by calculating nighttime activities.

Basically, it is simple data comparison and trend analysis, but compared with daily data, the comprehensive data provided here not only brings clear changes to users' exercise or sleep quality, but also contains inspiration for users to pursue better goals. As we all know, without data comparison, there is no chance to know whether there is room for improvement.

▲ leaderboard

The leaderboard lists the daily and weekly personal calorie consumption rankings. If you have friends who are using WeLoop and have the same goal of reducing fat as you, you will know how to work hard by comparing the rankings.

▲ Personal interface

In addition to setting personal data, WeLoop can also add reminders, set alarm clocks and record movement tracks with mobile phones. The other three functions, such as "downloading historical data", "evaluation" and "target process", show "still under improvement".

▲ Personal goals and information

In terms of personal goals, you should first choose a rough value on the calorie consumption table to define your exercise level. It doesn't matter if you don't know, especially for beginners, it is difficult to know which level you belong to, so WeLoop can calculate the following walking and running time, and you will know how long it takes to consume the target calories and how much exercise you need. In addition, the personal interface can also query various detailed data, such as the best day/week, the number of days to achieve the goal, the number of days of activities and so on. Next, if you lose weight successfully through continuous exercise, you can re-enter your weight in your personal information.

▲ Device interface

In the device interface, you can choose whether to display the message prompt immediately. After opening, you can directly pop up a message prompt without pressing the screen to view it. The previous page mentioned email filtering. Users can add or reduce applications that need to filter messages on their mobile phones. They need tips from bracelets, but they don't want information to be messy. It's best to take some time to set them up. Here, there is also a mobile phone anti-loss function. In fact, once the bracelet goes beyond the connection range of the mobile phone (10 meter), it starts to vibrate to remind everyone to prevent the mobile phone from being too far away, which is different from looking for a mobile phone on the bracelet.

Full text summary:

▲WeLoop Now classic

As an entry-level smart bracelet, WeLoop Now Classic has realized the integration of portability, wide wearer adaptability, 30m waterproof, OGS touch screen, basic data monitoring, motion trajectory and message prompt. It has many functions, but it is not redundant, practical and cumbersome, which enriches various common experience requirements. If you count the functions that are still being improved, such as vertical screen display mode, trajectory operation and other functions that will be added soon, I believe Now Classic is already very good.
