The price difference is several times. Is the gap between smart bracelets and smart watches really that big? !
Recently, the temperature began to rise gradually, and friends who like sports have been optimistic about all kinds of equipment ready to go, including smart watches or smart bracelets to record sports data conveniently. However, as a smart wearable device, smart watches are several times more expensive than smart bracelets. Many people question whether this price difference is worthwhile, and even many people think that the biggest difference between smart watches and smart bracelets is the price.
So, where is the gap between smart bracelets and smart watches? Is it really that big?
1 . price
It can be said that one of the biggest differences between smart watches and smart bracelets is the price. You can buy several bracelets with good quality at the price of a well-known smart watch on the market. Although you can buy a smart watch for a few hundred dollars nowadays, you should not buy a smart watch from 300 yuan. After all, "you get what you get at a price", expensive products are not necessarily good, but good products will not be very cheap. If you want to get a better experience and have more functional protection, it is better to raise some budget slightly.
2. Exterior
In appearance, the interface of smart bracelet will be longer and narrower, which is not as big as that of smart watch. However, mi band 7Pro launched by Xiaomi last year upgraded the dial to a rectangular dial, which feels closer to the appearance of smart watch now. As for which one you like, it depends on your personal preference. However, smart watches will do better than bracelets in personalization. A smart watch has more than N kinds of straps to choose from, such as leather, nylon and metal.
Of course, not everyone is recommended to buy smart watches. Smart bracelets also have their own advantages in terms of battery life and wearing experience. The core part of the bracelet is curved to fit the wrist better. It can also be said that compared with watches, the main advantages of smart bracelets are that they are small and light, and they are more comfortable to wear. In general, the battery life of smart bracelets is longer, so it is not necessary to charge frequently, while the battery life of smart watches is basically about one week.
3 . Function
The round dial of the watch is larger than the long design of the bracelet, so more sensors can be built in, and the internal space of the bracelet is relatively limited and it is impossible to get thicker and thicker. Therefore, from the functional point of view, the watch is still slightly better than the bracelet in functional design.
Smart bracelets generally monitor sports data and health status through sensors, while smart watches add functions such as Bluetooth calling, independent music playing, and instant reading of WeChat messages on the basis of these functions, which also means that with the development of technology, smart watches are getting closer and closer to a shrinking mobile phone, so for athletes, using smart watches can greatly reduce the number of times to take out their mobile phones from their pockets, and sometimes even just take a watch when going out.
It should be noted that smart watches can be divided into sports, health monitoring and comprehensive intelligent experience. The precision of chips and built-in sensors required for different built-in functions is also different, which also causes the gap in the online price of smart watches.
In fact, in the past two years, the boundaries between watches and bracelets have become increasingly clear. Smart watches are rushing on the road of independent operation, full intelligence, long battery life and health monitoring, while bracelets only have official functions, and more emphasis is placed on sensor technology. Through a variety of sensor chips, human physiological and behavioral parameters are collected.
For small partners who just want to record sports data and are not used to wearing watches, they can directly start with smart bracelets, which is cost-effective. However, if they want to use the functions of replacing some mobile phones, they can start with smart watches if they have requirements in personalization. When starting smart watches, they will give priority to products of the same brand as mobile phones, and their experience in interaction will be richer, but they still need to judge for themselves. After all, what they need is good.
