At present, smart watches are already an indispensable part of many people's lives. For the author, in addition to the function of daily mobile phone information reminders, the most important thing about smart watches is its role in sports. At present, many mobile phone brands are involved in the industry competition of smart watches, but in terms of professional sports, I have always been very fond of the Jiaming brand. As a user of Jiaming Venu 2 professional sports watch, we recently got started with the latest new product of the Jiaming Venu series, Venu 2 Plus, and now let's talk about how this smart watch with professional sports as the DNA performs.
Appearance: Added voice assistant key
Like the previous generation of Garmin Venu 2, the new Plus model still adopts a round dial design, and the material is still stainless steel and carbon fiber reinforced polymer, which is full of texture. As a sports watch, weight and wearing comfort is the author's primary consideration of the goal, the new Venu 2 Plus wearing comfort and the previous generation is almost no different, but also has a sports positioning product lightweight body, the author's hand is silver gray, wearing texture at the same time there is a more fashionable and sporty feeling.
The 1.3-inch round AMOLED dial is very good, and there are many models of dials that can be replaced. There are many optional styles of the dial of Jiaming Sports Watch, in addition to the dozens of dials that come with the fuselage, you can also download a richer dial in the Jiaming Dial APP like the previous generation. Although the product's dial lacks fancy customization like apple watch, it is also more jiaming characteristics and highly recognizable.
It is worth mentioning that this watch on the basis of the previous generation, a new voice assistant key, long press can call out the voice assistant, a variety of function choices do not need to be selected from the UI of the watch face, just need to tell the watch to turn off a function. In the actual experience, the recognition rate of the voice assistant is quite high, and there is almost no "chicken and duck talk" situation.
On the left side of the watch is the speaker opening of the product. You can call directly through your watch, which is also a new upgrade to Plus. Measured, the logic of the watch call is to call out the mobile phone dialing interface, and then you can complete the operation of the telephone call.
Although the watch is not large, the key recognition is accurate, and the author's thick thumb will not appear in the wrong case.
The back of the watch is a conventional design of metal + sensor, and the back cover of the Jiaming Venu 2 Plus is very skin-friendly, and it is not uncomfortable to wear for a long time. The sensor section is Jiaming's fourth-generation optical heart rate sensor, which supports 24-hour 24-hour monitoring. With the Firstbeat algorithm, comprehensive derivative data analysis can be realized, and the product also supports Pulse Ox2, which can measure heart rate and measure blood oxygen saturation at any time.
In terms of battery life, the official battery life data is 9 days, after actual testing, in the case of WeChat and other 9 application notifications open, 7 days a week after the use of the watch power is still about 20%. In the case of only WeChat, phone, SMS notifications turned on 10 days down the battery is also about 30%, battery life anxiety on this watch is almost negligible.
During the use of the author also found that the Jiaming Venu 2 Plus can be said to have not missed a single notification... Sometimes there is really a "service attitude" that is bothered by the conscientious "service attitude" of the watch... However, it is also reflected from the side that in this extremely strong state of use, this watch can definitely have the confidence of charging a week. The UI design of the Garmin Venu 2 Plus is considered by the author to be a medium difficult adaptation process, and it takes a period of adaptation for new users who are new to contact. It is worth mentioning that the product AMOLED colorful touch screen, the operation is very smooth, and the operation logic after adaptation is also simple and clear.
As an old user, the author likes the appearance and UI design of Jiaming Venu 2 Plus, and believes that the user group of smart sports watches that I like itself, Jiaming Venu 2 Plus, which is comfortable to wear with a sporty texture design, will definitely not disappoint.
Health monitoring
It is said that hardware is the basis of the algorithm, in terms of hardware, Venu 2 for the first time applied garmin Jiaming's self-developed fourth-generation heart rate sensor (Elevate Gen4), and combined with the new generation of Firstbeat data algorithm, put forward the "body age" and "sleep score" indicators, visually present the user's physical condition and provide reasonable activity suggestions. Compared to traditional smartwatches that can only measure the blood oxygen value at a single point in time, the Venu 2 provides 24/7 blood oxygen recording. Whether it's during exercise or sleep at night, an uninterrupted, complete record can help us understand trends in blood oxygen over any period of time.
In addition to heart rate monitoring, Venu 2 also has functions such as body age calculation, sleep score, advanced sleep tracking, breath monitoring, pulse blood oxygen monitoring, all-day stress score, water reminder, and women's health monitoring (menstrual management and pregnancy tracking function). The new Health Bulletin provides a quick assessment of an individual's health within 2 minutes and can export shared reports, which we can view individually or comprehensive reports generated from this data in the companion APP (Garmin Connect).
Overall, because of the addition of new algorithms, the configuration of new hardware, in terms of health monitoring, the function of this smart watch can be said to be more comprehensive on the market, the function is more perfect, coupled with the ease of operation, like the author of the small white can also easily know their physical condition.
