Recently, sports have become increasingly popular. Nutrition programs, going to the gym, a healthy lifestyle - this and much more is back in fashion. Electronics makers who have developed fitness bracelets also decided to match the trends. And today we will talk about what Meizu products are in this field.
The history of the creation of bracelets
Meizu company recently engaged in the creation of fitness bracelets. The task of the company was to create a device that can compete with such cheap models as the Xiaomi Mi Band.
Before releasing their gadget, the developers of the company experienced more than three hundred design options and decided to choose a monolithic design with smooth outlines for their first fitness device. This is how the Meizu Band H1 appeared.
This gadget begins the story of the creation of fitness trackers by this brand.
It should be said that the company tried to combine all the developments of competitors and add something of their own. As a rule, the biggest problem was to combine a large number of functions in a small device case. But Maize succeeded, and her fitness bracelet quickly gained popularity among users.
Within a short period of time, Meizu Bong 3 was created here. This fitness tracker was a successful continuation of the first model and developed the company's success. Now let's talk about them in more detail.
Features of models
Meizu Band H1
As mentioned, the Meizu Band H1 was the company's first fitness device. The novelty of the company turned out to be like two peas in a pod like the Xiaomi Mi Band. The case of the device was made monolithic and made of polyurethane. It is known that it is protected from moisture by the standard IP67.
Its features:
- The ability to track sleep and its phases. This allows not only to provide information about the quality of rest, but also to offer the user to optimize the process so that the body recuperates faster and more efficiently;
- The presence of the heart rate sensor. He works constantly and when a certain level is exceeded, the Meizu fitness bracelet immediately warns the user that his pulse is out of control;
- The function of tracking user activity. If it is too long in the degree of inactivity, the device reminds the owner that it is time to change the mental work for physical and a little "stretch the muscles";
- The ability to transfer data to a mobile application on both iOS and Android. After the bracelet is synchronized with the smartphone, it will be able to notify the user about a particular event, wake up at the right time, and also help you find the "lost" phone.
According to the company, the accuracy of the device sensors was so high that it satisfied even the interests of professional athletes.
By the way, already Band H1 was deprived of a number of shortcomings that competitors had:
- For example, users of the Xiaomi Mi Band often simply lost capsules that were responsible for everything.
- Meizu just decided to make them non-removable.
- It was also decided to make the buckle not from rubber, but from steel. This allowed not only to increase the wear resistance, but also to make the gadget more durable.
- The device received a physical control key, which is located below the display. It may include a display, with its help you can change the displayed information on the screen.
The user can find out with the help of the bracelet:
- how many steps he walked;
- how many calories were burned for a certain period;
- find out your pulse;
- information about the battery charge and smartphone connection.
We should not forget that the display itself was sensitive to pressure.It was made using OLED technology and got a diagonal of 0.42 inches. It can also connect to devices on an operating system not lower than Android 4.4 or iOs 8.0.
It is known that the weight of the device is only 20 grams. On one charge, the Meizu Band H1 can work up to 15 days in the automatic pulse detection mode and up to one week in the manual pulse detection mode.
More details about the pros and cons of this model can be found in the following video:
Meizu Bong 3
The second product of the company is the smart bracelet Meizu Bong 3. The strap of this fitness bracelet is made of medical thermoplastic elastomer, and the capsule material is made of polycarbonate. It is based on the Cortex-M4 processor. The display diagonal is larger than the Band H1 and Xiaomi Mi Band 2 and is 0.91 inches.
If we talk in more detail, then the entire front side of the gadget is covered with protective glass. An important feature is that the display can hold two times more information than the Xiaomi Mi Band 2. On the back of the device is a sensor measuring oxygen in the blood and heartbeat, as well as contacts for charging. The smart bracelet is made of quality materials and its assembly can be described as reliable.
In this model, it was decided to abandon the use of any buttons - mechanical or touch. Instead, the manufacturer has implemented the management of gestures and changing the position of the device in space. For example, to activate the screen, simply turn the wrist in the direction of the face. At first, this type of control seems inconvenient, but if you get used to it, then you don’t want to go back to managing keys.
At the same time, the percentage of false positives can be called minimal.
Meizu Bong 3 can display the following information:
- distance traveled;
- number of steps;
- the state of blood oxygen saturation, as well as pulse indicators;
- how much energy the user has spent;
- current weather: precipitation, temperature, amount of dust;
- hours, date, time.
Without binding to the phone it is impossible to implement the following functions:
- receive call notifications;
- receive information about SMS and messages in chat rooms and instant messengers;
- enable smart alarm;
- activate sports training mode.
A little should be said about the training modes.
The device can select the training mode from three possible:
- fitness. Its main feature is the continuous change in pulse;
- bicycle training. Frequent pulse measurement and constant GPS operation;
- run. This mode is used by default for daily physical activity.
The accuracy of measurements, most users rate as high.
Meizu was able to create devices that quickly became excellent technical solutions, not only for sports, but also for use in everyday life.
Reviews
Users note that both Meizu devices are very accurate in their measurements. Especially high accuracy is noted in the heart rate monitor. Also note the accuracy of the vibrator. Although users write that if a person goes to bed further, then the bracelet stops disturbing him, unlike the Xiaomi Mi Band. Otherwise, device owners consider Meizu smart bracelets to be a great solution for everyday use.
If we talk about the shortcomings, then first of all, users write that the Meizu software is not as advanced as that of the Xiaomi Mi Band 2. Also, some users are not very happy that the display is not made using the OLED technology, like the Xiaomi. Many do not like binding to the phone number.
Another disadvantage in the opinion of users is the constant download of data from an unknown Chinese resource.
But in general, the majority believes that Meizu smart bracelets are worth their money and are a worthy alternative to Xiaomi Mi Band 2 and other such devices.
