I thought I wouldn't need a watch if I had a smartphone, for years now.
On the other hand, why not take your smartphone out to see the time, such as during a meeting, interview, or when you have a lot of baggage on the move? I also feel ...
But isn't it bothersome to wear a watch only when you go out? When I was thinking about it, I suddenly noticed it.
Then you shouldn't remove it!
With the idea of reversing, "I should always wear something that makes sense to keep it on," I shifted to a smartwatch that can monitor my health condition instead of just a watch, and it was quick to purchase from there.
There are quite a lot of smartwatch options, so I first tried to sort out what I wanted to do and what I didn't need. The point is roughly like this.
What you want and don't need for your smartwatch
So I don't need a full spec smartwatch!
Apple Watches drop out early (it's expensive) because things that don't last long can get messy and hard to put on. The smartphone is an iPhone, but it seems that compatibility is not bad because it has an iOS application, so there are two options, Xiaomi Band and HUAWEI Band, which have a long-lasting charge.
As a result, I decided to buy a HUAWEI Band 6 with a physical button. It's been two months since I started using it, and I'm surprised at the benefits.
It is unknown how to utilize the health monitoring function, but now that we can see what we couldn't see before, we have to improve our sleep and lack of exercise! It is quite motivating.
There are 96 types of workout menus, indoors and outdoors. The state during exercise is at hand, and detailed data will be recorded in the smartphone app (HUAWEI Healthcare) after the exercise is completed.
Since I can understand the physical condition during exercise, the morning walk that is becoming a habit has become more enjoyable than ever. I didn't care about my stride length or average heart rate, so it's fresh.
Now, as soon as I run with motivation, I feel a sense of anaerobic exercise, but I'm starting to run little by little.
Notifications that come to you can also be set in detail via the app, so turn on only what you really want to know at hand. This way you won't get too frustrated with too many notifications.
Health monitoring functions such as notifications, heart rate, and stress tests are on for 24 hours, but it's really OK to charge 2-3 times a month! So easy. When the battery runs out of 10%, it charges quickly when you take a bath (charging is quite fast).
It is set to display just by tilting your hand, so if you want to see the screen, you can do it with one action. At bedtime or in a movie theater where you don't want it to shine, you can set the notification off and screen lighting off modes at hand, which is comfortable.
It's sober and convenient to call your smartphone. It's easy to leave it somewhere in the house, and I'm looking for it about twice a week.
After using it, I thought that I didn't have to do it separately, the "activity promotion notification" that is notified when I sit for more than an hour. I turned it off early because I was supposed to be standing a little and walking, but sometimes I was notified or I couldn't move when prompted. Recommended for those who want to realize that one hour has passed.
Pausing in workout mode and turning off at the end may not respond well (especially when it's cold?). But it doesn't react at all.
The attached band is large, and it is quite surplus. It doesn't get in the way because there is a band stop, but it's a little disappointing that it goes around to the front. If you have a small person or a person with a very thin wrist, it may be loose even if it is the smallest.
However, it's easy to buy for about 7,000 yen with all the good things. Minimal and cool form, stress-free usability and soft fit.
I want to make a call! I want to run various apps at hand! If you don't need such hope, it's more than enough smartwatch.
You should be able to enjoy more, so I would like to continue using it.
Of course, it is also useful for improving work efficiency such as calendar notification function and alarm setting at the time of concentration!
