It was probably the year before that when he saw a good friend with a very dazzling "watch". One question was that Misfit Shine was the company's first motion tracking device. The metal shell has a kind of icy temperament, but tapping on the surface, a circle of white LED lights light up, giving a sense of technology and temperature. Later, according to a friend, Shine didn't have much function. The main thing was tracking of motion and sleep monitoring. It took a while to get impulsive, but since then I've developed a lot of things for Misfit, a company that does sports trackers. interest of. This is the following: When it comes to Misfit, it is possible that everyone can hear what is in the ears. Founder John Sculley was once the CEO of Apple, and he drove Jobs out of Apple, regardless of his personal grudge, he could become the CEO of Apple. It can be seen that John Scully also has a certain ability, at least I think this company's wearable device and Apple's aesthetic concept is almost the same strain, to the user is presented in a minimalist manner of operation, and will not make people feel very Hard to understand. Of course, as the first product, Shine always has such a problem. The online investigation is a problem that the main body accidentally loses, because its main body is fixed by a rubber ring of the strap, and it is easily bumped. At the same time, Metal's Shine was expensive, and Misfit introduced the second wearable device, Flash. Misfit Flash has improved Shine's shortcomings, such as the main body's fixed design, color is not bright enough, etc. The use of a new watch ring design, the body material was changed to polycarbonate, can have more colorful appearance, will also use the time by Shine The 4 months were extended to Flash for 6 months. Last month saw the promotion of Misfit Tmall flagship store, Flash coupons 89 yuan, soon received after the order, to today nearly a month, the following is a simple experience and use of feelings. First, the appearance of articles Although knowing that Flash is so small, the moment I got the package was still amazing. It was really a small box. The package was simple and I was lying quietly in the shatterproof air bag. On the back, the tracker's two forms of wear, wristbands and clips. On the left, supported models, get app on Apple App Store and Google play On the right side, Flash's selling point, no need to charge, 30 meters waterproof, as to track the function of food and weight can only Oh.  At the top, you can track walking, cycling, running, and sleeping. Open the box, Flash main body appears before the eyes, a wristband, a sports buckle, it seems that the cost has indeed reduced a lot ... ... The front of the main body is black polycarbonate material. There will be a red light in the circle. There are a total of 12 LED lights, which correspond to the 12 hands of the watch. The design is very clever. Behind it is the Misfit logo, which is very design. Into the wristband effect, in order not to be easily lost, Shine, Flash changed the design, the installation needs to talk about the main body into the ring from the inside out, relying on the watch ring and the wrist together to block the main body, so not easy to fall out. Sports buckles can be inserted into different places, collars, cuffs, waists, pockets, and shoes, and the appropriate installation location can be selected according to different movements. If you do not know the pros and cons, you can click on the dial, and a red light will appear at 12 o'clock to tell you the up and down position. After installation, the clip will firmly hold the dial so that it does not fall out. Wear upper body effect. Second, APP experience articles Download Misfit app, because Flash does not have a screen, daily sports and sleep records need to query in the app, open the Bluetooth mobile phone, the home page is misfit's various sports tracker. Select and connect to Flash. The display device name is Onyx flash. Basic function introduction, motion monitoring and sleep monitoring. Tips also need to update the firmware. The update is completed, enter the main interface, the interface is very simple, the middle of a large circle represents the completion of the day activities, the following can view the activity and sleep records, the bottom is a few function columns, "I" fill in the personal basic information, For height, weight, etc., you also need to choose the usual sleep period. This did not make sense at the beginning. It does not mean auto tracking. You will be asked why you want to enter the sleep period information. “Social†is to link your social account to Misfit. App, you can view the rankings of friends of your microblogging friends or Facebook (how to associate a non-existent company...). The "Device" column can query the basic information of your Flash, such as the power level, and choose to wear sports. Location, there are activity tag options below, after setting up common activities, long press Flash to start the activity record. The entire app is reasonably designed, the learning cost is low, and the convenience of use is good. Third, wear and use articles Flash uses a polycarbonate material, plus a plastic strap, the overall weight is very light, wearing almost no sense of wearing, is much lighter than my Casio, wearing very comfortable. When you need to check the movement progress, you can click on the dial. The default setting is to display the progress of the activity first, then display the current time, the activity progress is to see a few lights; the time display is slightly more complex, the dial represents 3, 6, The four or nine lights at 12 o'clock are on. Then the light is always on behalf of the hour hand, the flashing light is on the minute hand, and the hour and minute hands are brighter than the light at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock. Easy to distinguish. However, on the day of wear, a problem was discovered. It was that each time you watched the progress of the event or time, you always pressed the dial! ! ! This is how it is, is not to say that improved the way to wear it, after viewing I found that this Flash design is still flawed, the dial is not fixed in the watch ring, but by wearing the back wrist When the power is against the dial, the dial will be pressed. If the dial is worn tightly, the dial will not fall out. However, each time the button is loosened, it will be packed back to force death. The rhythm... However, I quickly found a solution, that is, Flash is to support the wrist bright screen, as long as the wrist watch to watch the same move to the front, it will show the progress of the activity and time, measured this function is still relatively sensitive, about 10 times There are eight successful wake-up screens. Fourth, functional test articles 1, activity monitoring With Flash, the biggest benefit is that you don't need to bring a mobile phone when you normally go for a small-scale activity and go out to run. You can switch to running mode. You can update the data when you finish the Bluetooth connection with your phone. Flash supports writing the “health†function of the iPhone. , And you can connect WeChat sports or QQ sports, it is still very earthy. The daily activity goal can be selected in the app interface. The software recommendation is 1000 points. I don't know how to measure it. I looked at the usage record and compared the iPhone's steps. It's about 15,000 steps to synthesize 1000 points in the app. A certain day's movement interface shows that the right swimmer has noticed it, and it is "pulled down synchronously." In fact, it is to pull to the left, the villain will struggle forward, the representatives are synchronizing, this is a very clever detail design. The above app statistics 15734 steps, synchronized to the phone shows 21341 steps, it should be different definitions of the number of steps. The records of normal activities were relatively accurate. In the absence of Bluetooth synchronization, several tests were performed for walking and running respectively. The approximate error of the step count for Flash and iPhone was within 20 steps. Flash's filtering of invalid movements seems to need to be strengthened. There are several times when watching TV and doing stretching in place, the magnitude is not large, and the discovery also gives the calculation of the number of steps to walk. 2, sleep monitoring I have always been curious about this feature and I am looking forward to it. I feel that I can intuitively see my own sleep time and quality. I am a reminder and reminder of myself and I can understand and make targeted improvements to my sleep schedule. The result was disappointing. I wore it before going to sleep on the first day and woke up in the morning. The recorded sleep time was an hour early. Then I thought, before going to bed lay a brush and read another episode of Rick. And Morty, the feelings all give me the time to sleep, ah, but whether it's a micro-blog or watching a video, the action is still relatively large, it will also be over and over again, how can we give judgment to sleep. Send an email to customer service, customer service reply Flash is in accordance with your own set sleep time, if you monitor your activity in this time period becomes smaller, it will be judged to enter sleep, I -_-, was so judged It is no wonder that Flash did not detect it during the nap. After more than 20 days of use, it was found that after lying in bed, as long as there is no significant activity, it will be monitored as sleep. I recorded the wrong time of sleep, 22:50 is the time when I was lying in bed, the time to fall asleep was about 23:40. This sleeping time can be modified after synchronizing in the morning, but if you modify it yourself, the meaning of automatically monitoring sleep is Where is it? Before reading a review of a sports bracelet, it is said that different companies use different algorithms, leading to a great difference in the accuracy of exercise and sleep monitoring. I think this issue should also be reflected by many people to Misfit. Why? Sports monitoring is more accurate, but the accuracy of sleep monitoring is still not very satisfactory. At least it is impossible to achieve satisfactory results. While writing this text, I found that there was a Beddit device in the Misfit app (bottom right corner of the figure above). It was described as an advanced sleep tracking device. I read the following on the Internet. The Beddit sleep monitoring device is in the form of a band. The design, in a nutshell, is a long strap covered with a sensor. Connect it to the power supply and lay it on the bed to analyze my night's sleep. Beddit is a long strap and does not have any form of wear. The picture is like this, strange style: Hey, it is because of the new sleep tracker, the old algorithm can be improved without... 3, waterproof function The introduction stated that Flash is 30 meters waterproof. After testing, there was no pressure to run and sweat, and it was no problem to wash your hands and wash your face. As for wearing a bath, you dared not try. Open the back cover and looked around, there is a thick waterproof tape around the circle, obviously this circle of rubber strips play a very good waterproof effect. Fifth, use the summary This Misfit Flash I think fits a possible future direction of wearable devices, that is, beautifully designed, wearless, long standby time, the other direction, is now set heart rate monitoring, gps and other functions in one, However, there is a need to make great compromises in standby time. In both directions, I think that according to market demand, it will gradually be divided into two distinct lines, wearable devices and professional wearable devices used by the general public. Misfit Flash advantages: 1, beautifully designed, worn on the wrist, does not give people a sense of sudden, multiple colors of design can take into account the need for personalized users; 2. The interaction mode is novel and user-friendly, the learning cost is low, and it is difficult to get started; 3, the app design is simple and not messy, only to provide the core information, at a glance; 4, as a sports tracking device, walking, running and other sports monitoring more accurate; 5, wearable and flexible, the use of bracelets and sports buckles can cover almost all the sports mode, as a sports tracking device can be said to be true; 6, the standby time for a long time, no screen design means that the most power-consuming part no longer exists, before the use of Shine's friends said that standby for nearly six months, I believe that the standby use of 6 months of Flash can reach the same level. Disadvantages: 1, design defects, the dial can not be fixed in the ring, this I think is the Flash's biggest failure, but use the sports buckle can be a good fixed dial; 2, sleep monitoring is not accurate enough, that he is a gimmick worth mentioning, saying that he is not practical or good, since this function, it should be at least basic and accurate, from the use of the situation in this regard, we must continue to work hard; 3, after-sales need to be strengthened, although now Misfit has been acquired by Fossil, but it seems that domestic customer service is still WeChat-based, when I reflect the problem from the WeChat customer service is a customer service staff called the grace to answer, and then send a message a few days later, Found that the repayment is still grace, I think I know why WeChat customer service reply so slow ... ... In short, if you are a design-conscious person who wants to complete daily sports recordings with a simple device that does not require a lot of wearable devices nowadays, Misfit Flash is definitely a hundred-dollar price point.
