 Is there a difference between smart bracelets and smart watches in terms of functions?

Whether there is a difference in the functions of smart bracelets and smart watches is a key question. Smart watches on the market can be roughly divided into two categories: one is based on mobile operating systems such as Android and Apple, and has independent calling and Internet functions. In essence, it is a smaller version of a smartphone. Apple iWATCH is a typical representative, which can be regarded as a mobile phone in the shape of a watch; the other is that it does not have an independent mobile network module and must be connected to other smart devices for use. It can receive calls/text messages from smartphones and realize Bluetooth transmission with mobile phones.

The bracelet emphasizes sensor technology more, and collects human physiological and behavioral parameters through a variety of sensor chips. Common functions include sports step counting, sleep monitoring, heart rate monitoring, sedentary reminders, etc. The timing function of the watch can also be easily possessed by the bracelet. Of course, sports watches can also be built-in with a variety of sensors to achieve the same behavior monitoring as bracelets.

So in fact, in terms of functions, 80-90% of the functions of smart watches and smart bracelets are almost exactly the same. If there is any difference, it may be that the manufacturers have different functional positioning of the bracelets and watches themselves, and then deliberately create differences in functional configuration. However, as an outdoor sports smart watch, because of the particularity of the usage scenario, it has higher requirements for functions and safety.

What are outdoor smart watches?

 With the development of science and technology, people's demand for so-called black technology products has led to the emergence of many smart wearable products, and smart watches are the hottest one among them. Smart watches for different users can be simply divided into: children's smart watches, elderly smart watches, and adult smart watches. If the smart watches are divided according to their functions, the classification is more extensive. In addition to the relatively concentrated functionality of children's and elderly smart watches, adult smart watches are simply divided into two categories: outdoor smart types and ordinary smart watches.

What are outdoor smart watches?

In terms of functional division, outdoor smart watches are independently divided into a category. Unlike other payment-type and business-type smart watches, outdoor smart watches are used in outdoor scenes, and their functions are more inclined to outdoor sports data monitoring, environmental change surveys, etc. Compared with other fancy functions, outdoor watches focus more on battery life and sports.

Outdoor sports have special attributes such as excitement, professionalism, and danger that other leisure scenes do not have. Since this kind of challenging and dangerous sports method was introduced into China, it has been highly sought after by sports experts and quickly formed a trend. Its sports nature also determines the professionalism of the equipment worn. It is understandable why outdoor smart watches are classified independently.

The variability of outdoor use scenarios determines the direction of product functions. You can ignore the brand and appearance, but the quality must be guaranteed; the function is not about quantity, but about practicality. All flashy functions will only reduce the battery life of the watch; the price is not the more expensive the better, and the brand is not the bigger the better. Everything starts from safety.
