Since Apple launched the Apple Watch, smart watches have become the standard equipment for many young people, but the Apple Watch can only be used with iPhones and is not suitable for domestic mobile phone users. Fortunately, in the past two years, domestic mobile phone brands have also launched their own smart watches, and they have their own characteristics in terms of appearance and use experience.
Not long ago vivo brought a new smart watch - vivo WATCH 2, compared with the Apple Watch, its biggest difference is the use of a circular dial, the appearance is closer to the traditional watch, so it has also won the favor of many young users.
The vivo WATCH 2 has a case diameter of 46.4mm and a thickness of 10.95mm, so it can hold a 1.43-inch OLED screen. Due to the use of AOD information screen display technology, it can display the time in standby like ordinary watches, so if you use a traditional style dial, there is not much difference between looking at it and a traditional watch. Its silver stainless steel version is more business-oriented, while the black version looks more sporty.
Of course, vivo WATCH 2 also provides a very rich watch face for users to choose, and in addition to the default style, the follow-up can also choose more third-party watch faces through the theme store on the mobile phone, and can also use the photos in the mobile phone album as the dial background. This is also an advantage of smart watches over traditional watches.
In addition to pairing and receiving calls with the mobile phone via Bluetooth, the vivo WATCH 2 can also use the eSIM function to use a separate virtual mobile phone card to make calls and access the Internet. At present, the three major operators have provided eSIM virtual card services for smart watches, and users can choose to open a separate mobile phone number for vivo WATCH 2, or they can open a secondary number of the existing mobile phone number to bind to vivo WATCH 2.
When the mobile phone receives calls and text messages, vivo WATCH 2 with a sub-number can also receive a call prompt, which means that it can be worn when going out to exercise, which is very suitable for users with outdoor running and fitness needs.
At the same time, vivo WATCH 2 also has independent navigation functions, supporting four mainstream satellite navigation such as GPS and Beidou. Therefore, when using vivo WATCH 2 outdoor running alone, it is completely possible to use the mobile phone for positioning and record the sports trajectory through the running APP.
Vivo WATCH 2 also has built-in NetEase Music and Himalaya, so when running in daily life, you can connect sports headphones through Bluetooth, listen to songs while running, and you can also use the built-in Alipay to scan the code to pay. It also has a built-in optical heart rate blood oxygen sensor, which can accurately monitor heart rate and blood oxygen during exercise, and can view the corresponding data reports on the mobile phone to help users achieve scientific fitness.
The battery life of the smart watch has always been a concern for users, and the performance of vivo WATCH 2 in this regard is also very gratifying, if it is an eSIM card independent Internet access, its battery life can reach about 7 days. If you use Bluetooth with your phone, you can reach 14 days of battery life. That is to say, it can be charged once in one to two weeks of daily use, and this battery life experience is still very good.
Through a period of experience, vivo WATCH 2 gives me the biggest feeling is that its large-size round dial display effect is excellent, eSIM independent Internet function also provides a lot of convenience for outdoor running exercise, coupled with 7 to 14 days of long battery life, greatly enhance the practicality of this smart watch, daily wear or as a sports assistant are very suitable.
