The downturn in the smartphone market, part of the reason can be attributed to the reduction in the frequency of user replacement, and another part of the willingness can be attributed to the fact that smartphones have not been too innovative in recent years, and many consumers' interest in smart phones has not been so strong, but the smart home or smart wear products around the brand can attract more attention, such as the Xiaomi 12 series new product conference some time ago, although the Xiaomi 12 series is the protagonist of the conference, but the Xiaomi watch S1 that appeared as a supporting role is more worthy of attention.
Perhaps because of the length of the conference, Lei Jun did not make too much introduction to the Xiaomi Watch S1, but after comparing the same price products of Huawei, OPPO and Meizu 3 brands, I found that the Xiaomi Watch S1 should be the most conscientious smart watch, since I said so, naturally there is still evidence, comparing the object I chose Huawei's WATCH GT3, OPPO Watch2 and Meizu's all-smart watch.
Exterior design
First of all, in terms of appearance design, when xiaomi released the first warm-up poster of this smart watch new product, I determined that xiaomi watch S1 chose the right direction of appearance - round dial scheme, in the comparison of 4 smart watches, OPPO Watch2 and Meizu full smart watch using rounded rectangular scheme, although Huawei WATCH GT3 is a disc design, but there are metal decorations around, so that the overall design is not simple enough, somewhat complicated.
The design of the round dial is closer to the classic traditional mechanical watch style, which looks more business-oriented, of course, everyone's aesthetic standards are different, so I did not classify this as the advantage of xiaomi watch S1, but it is more in line with my own aesthetic.
Material material
The material of the watch body can certainly be divided into highs, which is also one of the main comparative advantages of the Xiaomi watch S1, the dial of the Xiaomi watch S1 uses a high hard sapphire glass mirror, but also in the comparison of 4 smart watches, the only one that uses a sapphire glass mirror watch, although the cost of the sapphire glass mirror is not much higher than the ordinary glass mirror, but some manufacturers will not give you arrangements, consumers naturally can only compromise.
In terms of the material of the case, OPPO Watch2 and Meizu all-smart watch use aluminum alloy material, while Xiaomi watch S1 and Huawei WATCH GT3 use stainless steel material, although these two materials have different characteristics, everyone's preferences are not the same, but the hardness of stainless steel is higher than aluminum alloy, and the cost is higher, so stainless steel material is also one of the advantages compared to aluminum alloy material.
The strap is also one of the material measurement dimensions of smart watches, OPPO Watch2 and Meizu all-smart watches are standard with only the strap of fluorine rubber, Huawei WATCH GT3 provides the most abundant straps, with four materials of fluoroelastomer, braid, leather and stainless steel metal, Xiaomi watch S1 provides a strap of fluoroelastomer and leather, which is still more conscientious of Xiaomi watch S1, because the difference between the two strap versions is only 100 yuan, and Huawei WATCH The leather strap version of the GT3 is 200 yuan higher than the fluoroelastomer strap version, and the price of the stainless steel strap version is 600 yuan higher.
User experience
When it comes to user experience, it is definitely multifaceted, mainly including the visual experience of the screen, the endurance and the richness of built-in functions. In terms of visual experience, the rectangular scheme adopted by OPPO Watch2 and Meizu all-smart watch highlights the advantages, among which the 3D AMOLED display size of OPPO Wathc2 is 1.75 inches, the AMOLED display size of Meizu all-smart watch is 1.78 inches, and the screen size of Xiaomi Watch S1 and Huawei WATCH GT3 is only 1.43 inches.
In terms of endurance, the performance of Xiaomi Watch S1 and Huawei WATCH GT3 is at the same level, the battery life of the two watches in the daily typical scene can reach 12 days and 14 days respectively, but the focus of the two is somewhat different, Huawei WATCH GT3 is biased to adapt to the scene of heavy use by users, so with the case of heavy use, Huawei WATCH GT3 can last for 8 days, while Xiaomi Watch S1 focuses on longer battery life, Therefore, with the scene test data of energy-saving use, that is, according to the opening of 24 hours of step counting, receiving 100 message pushes per day, alarm clock 2 times a day, viewing the watch 20 times a day, synchronizing data with the mobile APP once a day, but turning off the function of monitoring heart rate and pressure throughout the day, in such a scenario, the battery life of the Xiaomi Watch S1 can reach 24 days.
OPPO Watch2 and Meizu full smart watch performance is slightly worse, of which OPPO Watch2 in the case of heavy use, the theoretical endurance is only 1.5 days, even in the daily typical scene of the battery life is only 2.5 days, if you open the "light intelligence" mode, the longest can last 10 days, Meizu full smart watch to give the daily typical endurance and OPPO Watch2 is almost the same, only about 36 hours of time.
Finally, in terms of functional experience, in fact, the functions of these 4 watches are very rich, the basic motion recognition and data recording needless to say, 4 smart watches support the installation of third-party APP applications, but the number of installable APP applications of Xiaomi Watch S1, Huawei WATCH GT3 and OPPO Watch2 is about 50, and the number of INSTALLable APP applications of Meizu all-smart watches is still very small.
However, Meizu all-smart watch also has its own advantages, that is, it supports eSIM independent call function, although OPPO Watch2 also provides eSIM version, but the price is 500 yuan higher than Meizu (46mm version), Xiaomi watch S1 and Huawei WATCH GT3 do not provide eSIM independent call function or corresponding version.
Returning to xiaomi's main advantage - price, taking the 46mm of 4 watches as an example, Meizu all-smart watch is priced at 1499 yuan, OPPO Wacth2 is priced at 1999 yuan, Huawei WATCH GT2's fluoroelastomer strap version is priced at 1588 yuan, leather strap version is priced at 1788 yuan, Xiaomi watch S1's viton strap version is priced at 1099 yuan, and leather strap version is priced at 1199 yuan.
