To be honest, I was a firm Apple Watch user, the use span is from one generation to five generations, although I can't stand the damn day of charging, but with the iPhone after the whole family bucket intelligent ecology and just the right smart application (such as intelligent voice assistant, such as answering phones, etc.) just make up for the battery life shortcomings. So for a long time, I had a negative attitude towards smartwatches other than Apple, because in my eyes, the watch that focuses on sports monitoring and endurance is nothing more than a larger bracelet. Of course, this unprovoked "confidence" has been completely broken after I used the Jiaming Venu2 Plus, which was "able to call" for a while.
Although many people think of Jiaming always have to be linked to "outdoor" and "hardcore", in fact, compared to the single shape of Apple Watch, Jiaming has been obviously more interesting in recent years, because whether it is the Venu series, Sport series, epix or fēnix series, it seems to have got rid of the stereotype of "tough guy hormones", these products are more like a trend watch worn on the wrist after Jiaming's "tailor-made".
Take the latest Jiaming Venu2 Plus in my hand, the stainless steel champagne-colored bezel with the elegant white strap looks more lively and prominent, whether it is a boy or a girl can be very good at highlighting the personality on the wrist. The combination of the champagne-tonal clasp and three buttons with excellent feedback also makes the whole Jiaming Venu2 Plus present a more refined fashion and sporty feeling.
Although it has a full "fashion" appearance, but the Jiaming Venu2 Plus is essentially a smart watch, so when using it for the first time, it is still necessary to adapt with the mobile phone, the adaptation process is very simple, find the APP Garmin Connect, after the mobile phone recognition is successful and the personal information settings such as bedtime and wrist wearing preferences, it comes to the main interface of the APP.
Users can view the day's exercise health data through the main interface of the APP. For lightweight users, the user logic interaction of the entire information flow is clear at a glance, but the level is relatively complex or has a certain learning cost. However, Garmin Connect can display almost all data, including but not limited to heart rate, stress, calories, steps, breathing, body charge, and sleep index.
After lighting up the watch, you can see a 1.3-inch, 416x416 pixel resolution, touch-screen support AMOLED screen, the dial uses Corning's third-generation Gorilla Glass, which can better protect the screen while being wear-resistant. Because of the use of a very narrow bezel, the first glance of the Jiaming Venu2 Plus screen is still quite stunning, coupled with the increase in the proportion of the screen, it can also present more in terms of content display.
Interestingly, in addition to the more than ten watch faces that come with me, I can also download the watch faces myself in the Garmin Connect IQ, and because the dials are highly recognizable, I personally think the brand features are very obvious. (Of course, if you can provide a preset dial function, and swipe to replace it in the main interface of the watch)
The whole watch weighs 51g, which is much lighter than expected after getting started, and the strap made of skin-friendly silicone material will not be as hard as stainless steel, even if it is worn on the hand to sleep without pressure. Behind the flip-up machine, you can see the raised Jiaming fourth-generation optical heart rate sensor. Below is the Jiaming universal charging port, the theoretical charging power is 2.5W. On the left side of the watch is the speaker hole set by Jiaming for the Venu 2 Plus, which is also the biggest improvement over the previous generation, and the addition of the core selling point telephone function also makes the practicality and convenience of the whole watch become higher.
When I first wore this watch, I couldn't resist the joy of adding new features, and the phone function of the watch began an operation, in the series of operations of connecting, calling, calling, hanging up, accompanied by "the phone you dialed is on the call" Colleagues also cast curious eyes, and then the topic naturally became "Jiaming finally added the telephone function to it" .
Thanks to the wrist alert function, even if I turn the phone to silent mode for a period of time, I will not miss important incoming calls, especially when I code words, take pictures, or do housework, I can easily make/answer calls, and the numeric keypad on the dial is still very clear.
The sound size of the call can be adjusted as often as needed.
Because of the addition of voice assistant function, so Jiaming Venu2 Plus also provides more convenient physical buttons, the entire physical button area can be divided into A, B, C three pieces, each button has its own corresponding function after long press / short press. For example, you can set the shortcut key (B) as a voice button, and you can press C when you need to exit. The general logic of the physical buttons is A: sports/menu keys; B: shortcut keys (has been set to long press the voice assistant / short press Alipay scan code); C settings / back keys (long press can set the dial, time, etc.) (Note: the buttons of the functional watch are more complicated, the above is only a simple logical description) Swipe up and down the screen to view the basic information of the day, including steps, calories, drinking water and the heart rate that I need to view high-frequency viewing, etc. This information can also be presented in the watch interface through custom edits.
The Garmin Venu 2 Plus is a Pulse Ox2-enabled watch, meaning that it not only monitors heart rate, but also monitors the oxygen saturation (pulse oximetry) currently considered standard in high-end smartwatches. Users who play more smart watches should be familiar with these words, in short, they can help users assess their physical fitness status and formulate training goals by monitoring the oxygen content in the blood. In addition, it can also reflect the speed of the user's metabolism, and after being used with heart rate values, more effective physiological data can be obtained through algorithms. For me, oxygen saturation is a key value second only to heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and body temperature, because once the oxygen supply is insufficient, it can be extremely harmful to the body. I remember watching a movie "Manslaughter 2" in the New Year, in which the characters were reminded that blood oxygen was low to a certain value and that life would be dangerous. Jiaming Venu 2 Plus supports all-weather blood oxygen monitoring, but due to the greater impact on battery life, it is not recommended to open long, if necessary, you can manually open the monitoring.
In terms of functionality, such as adding the interface of common activities, it contains a wide range of sports categories, in addition to the common running and walking, there are treadmills, climbing stairs, swimming, strength, HIIT, aerobics, yoga, Pilates, mountaineers, indoor rock climbing, bouldering, paddleboarding and indoor rowing modes, of which skiing has three modes: ski mode, snowboarding and cross-country skiing. Dozens of fitness modes are certainly not on paper, and the accurate monitoring of activity data also proves the professionalism of The Dominican Venu 2 Plus in coping with different sports.
After all, it is Jiaming, who has made GPS positioning second to none, and I personally feel that Jiaming Venu 2 Plus is obviously much faster and more accurate than Apple Watch in terms of star search and positioning. For hit workers, the data monitoring of daily commuting occupies most of the time in life, taking my usual walking trajectory as an example, press the upper right button to call up the set walking mode, you can start searching for stars, and the speed of star search is still very fast. Because it is walking and has high expectations for positioning, I chose two roads that I usually do not take in two days, and the Jiaming Venu 2 Plus basically did not drift, and the whole road map was very complete and clear.
After completing the data and saving it, you can view the specific parameters of the activity, including the movement trajectory, pace, heart rate, timing and altitude, etc. through the synchronization APP. In fact, although most mainstream smart watches claim to have achieved a passing level in terms of heart rate accuracy, the accuracy of GPS positioning will often lag with professional-level smart sports watches such as Jiaming. Then, if you pursue more detailed and professional data, Jiaming Venu 2 Plus is undoubtedly at the forefront of the queue.
Because my usual heart rate is too fast, occasionally there will be sinus tachycardia, so I am still very attentive to the heart rate monitoring of Jiaming Venu2 Plus, after repeated measurements in a quiet state, The heart rate data of Jiaming Venu2 Plus is maintained in a fixed range, and it can also be reminded at the first time when encountering abnormal heart rate. Personally, I think that the overall measured data of the Jiaming Venu 2 Plus is still quite accurate, and the Firstbeat algorithm is indispensable.
The most interesting thing is that compared to the ordinary smart watches on the market, Jiaming Venu2 Plus has done a better job of understanding me, for example, it clearly knows whether I am tired today, and it has also given it a very picture-like name, body power. In short, once your body's electricity is reduced, it means that your physical condition is "in urgent need of charging". In my case, if I was nervous at work or didn't sleep well last night, the starting value of my body's electricity would not be very high, and at 100 out of 100, my initial value would probably only be 70. And once you have enough sleep and a relaxed working state, the body's power will be restored. The addition of this function can also let me know my current physical condition for the first time and more intuitively, and strive to improve the value of body electricity through sufficient sleep or relaxed mentality.
As mentioned earlier, heart rate and sleep monitoring are the data I value very much, and after passing the monitoring, you can view the complete sleep cycle on the APP, including deep sleep time, light sleep, eye movement, etc. Because of the quality of sleep, so in the use of the week, including bedtime I wear Jiaming Venu 2 Plus, because not inferior to the wearing feeling of the bracelet, the appearance of Jiaming Venu 2 Plus has also made a big change in my life, such as I will be more frequent than when wearing apple Watch to check their heart rate, steps, sleep index and body power and other data, just in the implementation of the "supervision" level, Jiaming Venu 2 Plus is indeed better than Apple Watch is more popular with me. And once the data is not good, I can also make targeted improvements on this basis, such as setting a goal of less than 7,000 steps, I will walk a few more laps, such as sleeping too late and causing too little deep sleep time, and the next day I will hint that I go to bed early.
On top of that, I was able to check my heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, and breathing in 2 minutes via the Health Bulletin.
For people who are abused by the Apple Watch, the caminoven 2 Plus's battery life is indeed very good, and the attention is very outstanding! When I first used the Garmin Venu 2 Plus, the battery was 60% (some dials provide a percentage display of the battery), under the heavy use of turning on all-weather heart rate monitoring and wearing it while sleeping, the Garmin Venu 2 Plus only lost about 10% of the electricity a day, and the remaining time with the prompt (part of the watch face support), for daily commuting, it is more than enough to last a week after full charge, and the Garmin Venu 2 Plus supports fast charging, As long as 10 minutes, you can last about a day in smart mode.
Of course, although the Jiaming Venu2 Plus has excelled in health data monitoring, voice calls, battery life, etc., this does not mean that there is no need for improvement at all. As a smart wearable device, Jiaming Venu2 Plus seems to be slightly simpler in mobile phone push, and can only support some simple mobile phone notification information push. (Android system mobile phone supports preset reply) However, because of the addition of Alipay and WeChat barcode/QR code payment, Jiaming Venu2 Plus is still quite good at paying separately from the phone.
It should be noted that if you are a dual SIM user, the push message should be your bound mobile phone number. Another point is that since there are many spam text messages after all, I studied how to turn off the message push, and the operation is very simple
Open Connect on your phone
Click "Settings" "Notifications" as follows:
After closing, the watch stops pushing, which can also better save power (open is also the same order, remember to click sync)
In the period of use, I think that the Jiaming Venu2 Plus helps me more in terms of health, because of its emergence, my life is subtly closer to health, and some personalized data references of Jiaming also make me say goodbye to staying up late and excessive fatigue.
In short, the practicality is stronger, there is no fancy touting, and being able to become more concerned about my life and health through this watch is the biggest meaning for me.
