Sleep management is perfect for a long time driving!Try the smartwatch "Amazfit GTR 3" !!
As interest in health is growing, interest in smartwatches that can acquire body information on a daily basis is increasing.The "Amazfit GTR 3" introduced this time is a smart watch that can keep various physical information such as sleep and blood oxygen concentration for 24 hours.Let's report on usability.
Big screen smart watch with a classical design
Amazfit is a partner company in small rice (Xiaomi), the fourth largest smartphone -shared (Xiaomi), who manufactures and sells wearable devices, has been deployed since 2015.It's a smart device brand.The "Amazfit GTR 3" (GTR3), which is introduced this time, is a new product that was just released on October 12 among the smartwatches of the company.
GTR3 is equivalent to middle range in the three new products "GTR 3 Pro", "GTR 3" and "GTS".The price is 34,800 yen.The body size is 45.8x45.8 × 10.8mm, weighs 32g (excluding straps).The body material is an aluminum alloy, and the body color is Thunder Black and Moonlight Gray.Because it has a waterproof performance of 5ATM, there is no problem if it is rainy or shower.
The main unit is equipped with a GPS, and the location information can be obtained by GTR3 alone, but there is no Wi-Fi or cellular function, so a smartphone is required for connection to the Internet.The connection with the smartphone is via Bluetooth.It is also common to the company's smart device to perform basic settings with the "Zepp" app for smartphones.
The dial is 1 diameter.39 inches (about 35).Equipped with a circular AMOLED display of 3mm).The screen resolution is 326 ppi, which is easy to read even with smaller characters, combined with the large screen.In addition, the brightness is quite bright at 1,000 nits, and it is quite easy to see even in direct sunlight.
More than 100 types of dials are available, and 15 new animation dials have been added compared to the previous model.In the standard, the screen is turned off in about 10 seconds, and when you raise your wrist so that you look into the dial, it is displayed, but the "Zepp" app described later is "effective status" of "screen off".If you set to "all day", it will always change to the displayed state.In addition, if you set it to the display at all times, the entire screen will not be off, but in a certain time, the second hand and index will disappear if it is an analog clock, so that only the minute hand and the hour hand are displayed, the screen changes are as small as possible.It is a mechanism to save power.
On the right side of the main unit, there is a crown (crown) on the top and a button at the bottom (if the main unit rotates 180 degrees, the crown will be on the lower left side).When you press the crown, the list of the application is displayed, and you can move the list up and down by turning it.If you find the desired app from the menu here, press the crown again to launch the app ... but it is good, but it actually returns to the dial.In other words, the press of the crown only supports the menu and the dial, and the app selection and the menu selection in the app will be tapped by tapping the screen.The touch operation itself is easy to do because the screen is large, but I think it was more intuitive to be able to select by pressing the crown (like Apple Watch).The button below is the shortcut button of the app set in advance, so I want to set the most used ones.
The band comes with a mounting width of 22mm.The material is made of antibacterial silicon, resistant to sweat and so on, so it is nice to be able to use it cleanly.The band is a so -called quick lever/quick release, and has a lever on a spring stick connecting the watch body and the band, so it can be easily attached and replaced by pulling the lever.
On the back of the main unit, an optical sensor "6pd Biotracker PPG 3" for acquiring blood oxygen concentration and heart rate.."0" is equipped with a charging terminal.The charging terminal seems to have a polarity, and the magnet built into the charger will always be in the correct direction.The charging time is about 2 hours, but the battery will have a standard use for 35 hours, even if the GPS is continuously operated for a nominal 21st and a 10 -day hardware use.
I actually used it for a few days from the full charge, but I set the monitoring of blood oxygen and heart rate to 24 hours, and I also set up a considerable amount of power, such as performing respiratory surveillance during sleep, and wore about 24 hours.After six days, the remaining battery amount was 25 % after 6 days, so the nominal value of 10 days is quite reliable.In fact, you can think that it can be used for almost a week in one charge.In particular, it is a model with a strength to acquire healthcare -related data, so it is very strong that it can be used for a long time while wearing it.
The operation of the app is light
GTR 3 adopts its own power -saving design OS "Zepp OS".By the way, according to CounterPoint Research in Hong Kong, Zepp OS is the fourth place in the world of smartwatch OS, and in fact it has a higher market share than Google's Wear OS by Google.
The operation around the menu is performed by crown, shortcut button, and touch operation, as introduced in the hardware section.In addition to this, if you swipe the screen from top to bottom, the dashboard will be displayed, and if you swipe up from the bottom, the notification will be displayed, and when you swipe left and right, the application screen is switched display.
Apps include healthcare -related items, such as measurement of heart rate and blood oxygen concentration, sports -related items such as exercise records, and data browsing, such as weather, music, alarms, and calendars, and as a voice assistant.It adopts Amazon Alexa.In addition to the standard one, 11 types of apps are available, and can be added from the App Store in the Zepp app.However, the App Store does not actually have a third -party application, and it seems that the application development kit has not been disclosed, so it is just like an additional app storage.I hope that it will be open to the third party as soon as possible.
In addition, the board is also selected, downloaded in the app, and installed in synchronization with the clock itself, but I hope that this will also be possible for users to create their own dial.
The operation of the app itself was quite light, and there were few situations where the operation was so stressful that it felt stressed.This area can be said to be the strength of adopting its own OS.
Obtain physical information and sports movements
The role of a smartwatch is also a function as an activity meter that uses the built -in motion sensor and biological information sensors.GTR 3 also has a lot of emphasis on these genres, and has a fulfilling function.
In sports -related, it uses motion sensors, heart rate monitor, and blood oxygen to record data such as calories consumption.The number of corresponding competitions has actually increased by more than 150 types, and more than 60 types compared to the previous model GTR 2 series.
I wondered what kind of sport was registered, but for example, in martial arts, judo and jiu -jitsu are separately registered, and in ball games, Sepataclow (a volleyball that handles balls with Southeast Asian feet).It is also registered as a minor competition, such as Pelota (sports similar to the Spanish and Basque Scash), as well as e -sports and board/card games such as chess.Since the motion is different for each competition, the calculation of calories consumption is changed according to each.
In the standard, the exercise assistant is registered in the shortcut button under the crown, so if you select a competition and press the "GO" button, the recording will start.In addition, for eight types of sports, such as running, walking, cycling, and swimming, there is a smart recognition function that recognizes the movement and starts a record when exercise starts.I felt that the ease of recording was at a very high level.
Regarding the healthcare function, "6pd Biotracker PPG 3).Blood oxygen concentration and heart rate can be recorded using "".Basically, if you turn on the "monitoring" function of each item in the "Health Monitoring" setting of the Zepp application, it will be recorded automatically.In addition to the automatic measurement, the four items of heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, and respiratory rate can be measured immediately in about 45 seconds by using the "measurement with one tap" application.
The recorded data is also found on the smart watch, but basically check the "homepage" tab on the Zepp app.What I want to pay particular attention to this time is "Sleep", and if you sleep with GTR 3 wearing GTR 3, it will measure the depth of sleep from movement, and it is a beta version, but you will also detect respiratory stopping during sleep.Willing to.It is convenient to manage the quality and time of sleep, but it automatically identifies and records that the record is sleeping at night (22:00 to 7:00), but for 20 minutes for daytime nap.Despite the above nap, it wasn't good in the range I tried.If you can record this area manually, it will be more valuable.
Due to the influence of the new colon virus, the focus on smartwatches is increasing due to the growing health consciousness, and more than 2 million units are sold annually in the Japanese market.Amazfit GTR 3 has a long -lasting battery performance, a light response, a fulfilling healthcare function, and an activity meter that supports a variety of sports, and has a design that is worn in business scenes.It is a smart watch with high overall power.If you want to make your smart watch debut or step up from a cheap smartwatch, especially if you value healthcare and sports records, you want to be a candidate.
