It was burned outdoors before, and at that time it was popular in the outdoor circle of Songtuo, Garmin, Casio these kinds of watches, the main outdoor functions are altimeter, barometer, height difference measurement, hygrometer, depth meter, waterproof and solar energy. People who like the outdoors have a spirit of exploration, and many people like to challenge some no-man's land, of course, this requires sufficient preparation and experience, and there may be a lot of unknown risks that follow. After participating in some activities, I found that the most important thing for the outdoors is actually emergency rescue, because there will always be some accidents outdoors, and I have also seen people take maritime satellite phones, which is really a "big brick", which is quite inconvenient.
Now when I see Huawei WATCH Ultimate, I feel that this is the only choice for outdoor watches, and a Beidou communication is really worth thousands of dollars at a critical moment, note that this is the watch independently sending and receiving Beidou satellite messages to other mobile terminals. Beidou short message communication is actually realized through three GEO orbital satellites with an altitude of 35786 km, located at 80°, 110.5°, 140°E. So when using it, I summarized three points to pay attention to:
- Try to remove the watch and use it;
- Low temperatures can affect the success rate;
- The south-facing side is open and unobstructed, and it is used in an open and unobstructed place within 180° due south, and the success rate is higher;
Some flagship machines that are so large to transmit signals to the surrounding base stations may not be very useful, and a small watch independently transmits messages to an altitude of 36,000 meters? It sounds incredible, but Huawei WATCH Ultimate does it, which is also the world's first commercial smart watch for the public that supports two-way Beidou satellite messages.
Worthy of the name of the communication manufacturer, Huawei WATCH Ultimate breakthrough in signal transmission technology is indeed at the forefront of the world. To load a small watch, you must first miniaturize the RF module, and then the antenna involves a built-in suspension design, plus a nano-molding integrated technology case, which forms the basis for transmitting signals in a small space such as a watch.
The influence of materials on the signal is very direct, and the metal shell of our mobile phone is less and less because of the impact on the signal, and materials such as glass and ceramics are widely used. Huawei WATCH Ultimate uses an ultra-strong amorphous zirconium case and nano-microcrystalline ceramic bezel, which not only does not block the signal but also plays the role of antenna energy aggregation, but this is not easy to do.
Amorphous zirconium alloy is a special category of zirconium-based alloy, which has the dual characteristics of metal and glass, so it also has high toughness and excellent corrosion resistance, which can be called the hardest light alloy at present. Compared with the common titanium alloy, the hardness of amorphous zirconium alloy is increased by 2.5 times, the strength is increased by 4.5 times, and the corrosion resistance is stronger, more durable, and the density is less than stainless steel, which is a very ideal material, which is also the first time that amorphous zirconium alloy is used in your smart watch.
First of all, nanocrystalline ceramic material rescue needs to go through 24+ processing processes, 7 days of glue sintering, CNC precision machining and internal structure carving, which has also been used in high-end products and luxury goods. The use of nano-crystalline ceramic bezel also has a problem is how to perfectly combine with the amorphous zirconium case, which is also Huawei engineers through hundreds of tests, explore more than a dozen corrosion agents and several process routes, and finally realize the nano-molding integrated technology case, in its own corrosion-resistant amorphous zirconium case to complete the nanopore corrosion, not only retains the advantages of amorphous zirconium material corrosion resistance, but also integrates the ceramic "antenna" bezel with the amorphous zirconium case, improves the signal connection strength, and also retains the metal appearance of the case.
The development of communication technology is often accompanied by breakthroughs in the basic process of materials, and do not underestimate the technical content of Beidou satellite communication on watches.
Huawei WATCH Ultimate this time uses a 3-button design:
- A new auxiliary button is added at 10 o'clock, through which you can press 3S to open Beidou satellite messages with one button, and when the watch face interface, short press Auxiliary Health can quickly start the outdoor adventure mode;
- The rotating crown in the direction of 2 o'clock supports short press back to the dial, long press to turn on and off, and the system button also supports rotation interaction, which is most useful under water and when wet hands, because it is not convenient to touch the operation in this case, and turn the page by rotating the crown;
- The function button in the 4 o'clock orientation supports short press to enter the sports function, and long press to start the voice assistant to help you open the exercise state in one step.
It is also a convenient feature to press the auxiliary button to enter the outdoor adventure mode directly, in this mode you can see all the information related to it, such as waypoint mileage, altitude, barometric pressure, compass and other information.
According to my many years of outdoor experience, in addition to being prepared and having the necessary outdoor knowledge, I must always pay attention to my physical state, body temperature, blood oxygen, heart rate, these are all very important, which is also functional in outdoor adventure mode. For example, at high altitudes, blood oxygen levels will drop, and forced strenuous exercise regardless of physical condition will cause very bad effects.
The blood oxygen detection provided by Huawei WATCH Ultimate is also very meaningful, it can measure in real time and support continuous blood oxygen monitoring (statistical granularity of 30 minutes), in order to verify its accuracy, I found a finger clip blood oxygen detector that supports continuous blood oxygen detection.
Whether it is a single test or the average value of continuous blood oxygen monitoring, the difference is about 1%, which is very accurate, although it cannot be used as a basis for clinical diagnosis, but it is enough as a reference for daily health status and outdoor portable monitoring equipment. Ideally, blood oxygen saturation should be 95%-100%, but it will vary depending on individual physical condition, altitude, certain diseases, etc. Oxygen saturation values that are too low may indicate a certain risk, so it is generally divided into:
- ≥90%
- 70%-89%
- <70%
Three levels, if the near edge value must pay attention, if it is usually too low should also go to the hospital for examination, in fact, Huawei WATCH Ultimate as a daily health management equipment is also very qualified, do not have to buy oximeter.
As for heart rate, there is no need to say more, Huawei WATCH Ultimate is equipped with TruSeen™5.0+ heart rate monitoring technology, heart rate accuracy as always, and also supports ECG ECG. In health management, especially heart health, in fact, Huawei smart watches have always provided a service far beyond this price point, as I said before, my uncle was screened out for heart problems by Huawei watches and received a 301 phone inquiry, used really said good, heart health This piece you can always trust Huawei. In addition to heart health research, there are also vascular health research, sleep apnea research, respiratory health research, altitude health research, etc., and all of them are in cooperation with professional health medical institutions.
This watch adds so much outdoor function support, which is very suitable for trail running, but to participate in trail running or do what you can, 21km trail running is comparable to a full horse, if it is a super cross running must have a Huawei WATCH Ultimate such a watch escort, up to 2 weeks of battery life is really more than enough.
Outdoor sports are not considered public, outdoor is also the most testing of the product technology content and quality of the field, seeing this watch always gives me a Huawei WATCH Ultimate out, who and the feeling of contending. The same is true of the sport of diving, the most well-known diving watch should be Rolex's green water ghost, this function has appeared on the Huawei WATCH GT 3 Pro series, the difference is that in addition to the freediving function, Huawei WATCH Ultimate also added recreational scuba diving, technical diving and instrument diving, diving modes are richer. Outdoor, diving and other fields are relatively niche but also overall more high-end, professional fields, without technology is not possible, conquering these discerning users is the mission of Huawei WATCH Ultimate.
Speaking of this, I have to mention two words - high-end, in the past two years, domestic mobile phones have targeted the impact of high-end, and the field of smart watches is not the same. According to a report by Canalys, a third-party market research agency, in the fourth quarter of 2022, Huawei ranked first in China with a share of 26%. Now Huawei WATCH Ultimate can be said to be the culmination of Huawei technology, but also Huawei's most powerful smart watch so far, support two-way Beidou satellite message, 100-meter deep dive mode escort, ultra-solid amorphous zirconium alloy, comprehensive and professional health management, it is definitely no problem to call it Huawei watch king, will it not lead Huawei watch further?
Finally, I still want to remind you to play outdoors that Huawei WATCH Ultimate can provide more guarantees for you to explore unknown areas, but you must do what you can and do not waste social resources.
