Asked to go out on June 3 officially released the Ticwatch2 smart watch and timpiror (ask magic mirror) and ticeye (ask the devil eye) two car intelligent hardware. Ticwatch2 is now the most mature smart watch product in China. Let's take a look at its performance now.
Background and parametersGoing out to ask questions was established in October 2012. On December 19, 2014, Ticwear, the first Chinese smart watch operating system based on Android Wear, was launched. In June 2015, the smart watch Ticwatch was launched. In October of the same year, it received Google’s $75 million C round. Investment (it is also the first time that Google has invested in a Chinese company since leaving China). More than 70% of its 230-plus team are engineers. At the conference, it announced that Ticwatch has more than 100,000 users, claiming to be the highest-selling smart watch in China except Apple Watch.
Ticwatch2's performance configuration is consistent with its predecessor, MediaTek MT2601 (1.2G dual-core A7) +512M memory + 4G storage + 300mAh battery. In addition to the screen changes, the hardware is mainly built-in eSIM 3G card and GPS, support for off-the-lock screen, but the waterproof level is reduced to IP65 waterproof, become OLED material screen (can support the constant light mode), PPG optical heart rate meter, Magneto wireless charging upgrades speed, and the official claims 0-100 charging takes only 1 hour and 20 minutes.
The Ticwatch2 is divided into three series of Elantra, Classic, and Fine Porcelain, a total of 11 preset styles. The main configuration difference is that the Silicone strap's Elantra Series has eliminated 3G and uses 6000-series aluminum alloy body, while the finest porcelain series uses ceramic cover and sapphire glass.
Appearance and design
Ticwatch2 maintains the previous generation of full-round dial design, the appearance of a certain degree of streamlining, the overall appearance is very close to the conventional watch with lugs, the border is very narrow, the screen share of up to 73.5%, the official claimed that it is screen occupation Than the highest pure round smart watch.
The dial size is reduced from 46mm to 42mm (Apple Apple Watch offers 42 and 38mm dials). The dial glass is 0.5mm taller than the metal front cover and uses a 45-degree cut-off angle. There is a slight drop in the sense of sliding across the edge, allowing the finger to sense the position of the screen touch. The design is ingenious, but it may increase the broken screen when dropped. risks of.
The screen was slightly reduced from the previous generation of 1.5 inches to 1.4 inches, but the pixel was raised to 400400, and the PPI reached 287 and was changed to OLED material. The screen has a high saturation level that is visible to the naked eye. When the black pattern is displayed, the specific pixels can be turned off to achieve pure black, thereby enhancing contrast and power saving. System provides 5 brightness adjustments, the highest brightness and S6 edge close (the author of this machine default maximum brightness of about 330 nits), under the strong light can also maintain readability, good performance.
Ticwatch uses a metal front cover + plastic/ceramic rear cover design, while the picture above is a classic version, a plastic back cover. The center of the back cover is the domestic first Pixart PPG optical heart rate sensor, with green LEDs on both sides of the opening, claiming to improve accuracy and anti-jamming capability. Because it is a polished material, long-term use may accumulate a certain pattern. Of course, no one spent any time...
The left side of the watch body is the only mechanical button. Click to return directly to the timetable (position equivalent to the desktop). The thickness of the watch is thinner than similar smart watches, but it is still thicker than conventional watches, especially if the dial is reduced.
There is a hidden touch bar on the right, which is Ticwatch's unique interactive hardware, the official name is Tickle-scratch, can be used as a touch pad to slide and click operations. The dial of the watch is very small. When the finger operates on it, it often blocks the target content. Therefore, when there is no need for a specific click, its operation efficiency is indeed higher than that of a simple touch screen operation.
The machine uses a dismantling strap design similar to the Apple Watch. The metal strap on the strap is used to remove the strap. In the bottom right corner, you can see the microphone opening behind the lugs.
The center of the top is open with 4 speaker holes, and the volume of the machine is generally loud (this is to protect privacy issues?) In a noisy environment, it must be close to the ear to hear. If you want to listen to songs while exercising, you still have to use a Bluetooth headset.

In terms of feel, there are arcs around the polished back cover, and the body is lighter, which makes the hand feel and visual feel quite similar to traditional watches. The Yuet version of the 6000 series aluminum alloy front cover is lighter than the classic version of the 316L stainless steel front cover, but they are much lighter than expected, and they are not much different from traditional quartz watches, and they are much lighter than mechanical watches. .
Respectively, Yuet moving version, two classic version, fine porcelain version
The fine porcelain version requires a lot of weight. If it is an all-metal strap, the weight will be more touching, and some users who like quality will probably prefer it, but it is estimated that the classic version will be more in line with the public's taste.
For the strap, the Yuet version of the strap is a slightly soft silicone material. The classic version is almost leather straps, and it will certainly be more breathable and comfortable, but the feeling of wet water or soaked in sweat will not be too good. Metal straps are durable and new, but they are heavy (the clips are even heavier than the body) and the joints are prone to filth. Of course, this is a material issue that has plagued the watch industry for hundreds of years. It would be nice to select the watchband according to the selection criteria of conventional watches.
The 42mm dial is a relatively normal size. Normal adult males don't have any sense of disobedience, and female users may wear up, but this problem is much lighter than the previous generation of the 46mm dial.
Version difference
The positioning of the Elantra version is similar to that of the Moto360 sports version. Only the version of the pure white black + silicone strap is provided. The dial is an anodized matte material and looks more texture with a low profile. Users who like light weight and have little demand for 3G, personally recommend this version, later to buy a leather strap or metal strap will be a good choice (the official has not yet opened the strap, but is likely to be the standard Size, specific to the test machine to hand to confirm).
In addition to the classic version of a bamboo-style stainless steel strap, the classic version is a leather strap with three colors of gold, silver and gray. There are 3G functions, but the dial and back cover are not as good as the porcelain version. It is estimated that it will be the largest version.
The porcelain version is a ceramic back cover, which is second only to diamond and sapphire. It has a polished metal/glass texture and is significantly heavier than other versions (plastic back cover). The current version is a bamboo-style metal strap. , The weight is definitely going to be a business person.

Quick card
The machine is equipped with the new Ticwear OS 4.0 system, which in the previous version has set a complete interactive framework, this generation is mainly:
Strengthen navigation, hitting, looking for restaurants, fast payment and other quick operations;
Fast card enhancements, news, ticketing and other cards, and public comment and other news can also be added to them;
Add and update calculators, news, maps, players, etc.
Increase one-handed operation such as swinging two wrists back and hanging up the phone;
Joining the lock screen on the wrist, raising the hand will pop up messages and other privacy enhancements;
Declared that the machine can save 20% power than before
Can make calls directly from mobile phones (depending on new 3G networks)
Offline dial download and replacement (depending on newly added 3G network)
Added low-power, low-light, constant-light mode, which displays the time in low-brightness black and white (depending on the new OLED screen) after the set lock time.
In addition, this is the Android smart watch with the highest support for Apple's mobile phones, of course, the function will be less than when connecting an Android phone.
For smart watches, in addition to watching time, push notifications, pedometers, and heart rate, the most practical/loaded scenarios are navigation and payment, both of which have been complemented on Ticwatch2. The deepest experience of the machine itself is that the speed and availability of voice recognition are much better than expected. Of course, the search itself has to be limited by the 3G network speed (when connecting to a mobile phone or using wifi, it is the speed of the network).
The on-site engineering machine works smoothly, but some application opening speeds need to be improved. Overall, the degree of completion of the machine is already high. The biggest unknown of the machine is definitely the battery life: the same performance configuration and battery, screen PPI upgrade, increased 3G networking and GPS, even if the new system is more power saving, OLED screen more power, but the machine's life is estimated to be close to a generation .
In terms of price, Yuepeng's version is 999 yuan. The price of the classic series is between 1299-1699 yuan, while the fine porcelain version starts at 2,199 yuan, which is a little more expensive than the previous generation and inWatch equivalent products, but it is more important than the international brands such as Moto360. A lot cheaper.
In addition, Ticwatch is a smart watch with a built-in 3G card. It will use one more cost than the conventional smart watch (except for the Yuet version). The network service is provided by the virtual operator (as far as the use of mobile, China Unicom, or telecommunications is still unknown). . Provides monthly rent, call 0.15 yuan/minute, traffic 0.15 yuan/M; 9.9 monthly fee package includes 30 minutes of voice and 50M traffic (over part of the tariff and 0 month rent), and even 5-50 yuan Traffic packet.
Car hardware: ticmirror and ticeye
In addition, the interrogation also released timpiror (ask magic mirror) and ticeye (ask the devil eye) two car intelligent hardware, the former is built-in voice and driving recorder intelligent rearview mirror, 7.84 inch 1080400 resolution touch Control screen + MT8665 + 2G memory +16/32G storage, 160 degrees wide-angle 1080P camera, Beidou GPS dual-mode positioning, 4G Netcom; the latter is a 44-degree narrow-angle lens ADAS driving aids, starting on June 30 open beta.
The normal state of the ticmirror is a rear-view mirror. After the screen is lit, both sides are used with the ADAS indicator light, and the height of the color is used to remind the user to return to their own lane or to warn the approaching vehicle.
On the left side of the bottom is the motion sensor (waves trigger switching function), voice, home page, mute button, and the bright screen button is placed directly under the body.
It is surrounded by a cooling grid and the back is a 160-degree ultra-wide angle lens that can be self-adjusted.
In the software and performance section, it is more like an Android tablet, a familiar settings page, a left-click resident key, and a voice-activated button for asking questions.
The system was streamlined to include only weather, navigation, music, driving records, Himalayas (internet radio), and telephone. Can be matched with optional rear camera, can display the reversing screen, and driving record display will be in the form of half-screen.
The machine started the public beta after June 30th, and there was no way to get on the road. Although the on-site prototype reaction speed was good, the video and ADAS functions could not be experienced.
