Xiaomi WeLoop Hey 3S Smartwatch - review and test of the new sports watch What is includedThe watch is packaged in a stylish black box with individual compartments. The production kit includes:
The watch comes with a book with activation instructions in Chinese, but with an abundance of demo pictures that are easy to navigate. It also shows a QR code that is required to download the official WeLoop application (without this software, the device will function only like a clock). A detailed instruction is also attached to the kit, which is duplicated in different languages. There is no Russian translation, but English is available. Appearance and designThis smartwatch has a stylish design. The black case with smooth yet elegant contours is reminiscent of the shape of the Apple Watch. The device module is made of high-quality, shock-resistant plastic. The dimensions are 46,21 x 35,66 x 11,15 mm, and the weight is only 38 g. This model is small, looks neat and almost does not feel on the hand. On the sides of the case there are 2 control buttons responsible for locking the screen and going to the main menu of the device. On the back, you can see the contact pads for connecting the charging capsule and the sensor that records the heart rate. WeLoop smartwatches are equipped with a wide, comfortable silicone strap: it is flexible and soft to the touch. There are 3 colors to choose from: with black-gray, black-red and black-green straps (if desired, they can be purchased separately and changed). The design is not only water-resistant, but also able to withstand pressure - with a watch on your hand, you can dive to a depth of 50 m. TECH SPECSThis modern device has the following technical characteristics:
Main functionalityThe watch combines the functions of a fitness radar and a smartphone. In addition, the device has some basic programs, including:
For fitnessThis model acts as a fitness bracelet:
For communicationThe model can be used not only during sports activities, since it has a number of other functions:
Clock displayThe display of the device is an LCD panel. The diagonal is 1,28 inches. The display resolution is small - 176 × 176 pixels, but it is enough for comfortable use. The watch screen is covered with a factory protective film. The glass itself is durable, impact-resistant, almost scratch-resistant and easily cleaned of dirt with a napkin. The backlight of the color display is activated by raising your hand, but you can turn off this function or adjust the operating mode (for example, turn it off at night). In the inactive mode, the watch displays the time, date, step counter. Bracelet operating systemThe portable device has its own operating system, thanks to which the watch can be controlled and also synchronized with a smartphone. The software menu is developed in Chinese, but you can navigate through it using large demo pictures that are displayed on the screen along with the inscriptions. The menu and display can be operated using 2 large buttons located on the side panels of the case. The right button allows you to scroll through the pages on the display and give the command OK, and the left is responsible for the action "Cancel / Back". Mobile appWithout the right software, you will not be able to use all the functions of a smartwatch. To do this, the device must be connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth. The devices will only work if the phone is connected to the Internet. The manufacturer's program, WeLoop, is downloaded to the smartphone. It can be found in the Google Play Market. User's manualAfter downloading the program, you need to bind to a smart bracelet, and then configure the software to fit your needs:
Smart watches are linked to only one phone. You can also log into the WeLoop account from another smartphone, but in this case, the user's personal account on the previous phone is blocked. Battery autonomyThe watch comes with a charger, which is attached to the back of the gadget with 4 small magnets. The cable is inserted into the connector directly on the charging panel. The manufacturer claims that the Xiaomi WeLoop Hey 3S watch is partially autonomous: a fully charged battery lasts for 30 days. According to reviews, the charge is sufficient for a month only if the watch functions are not used at full capacity. If you connect GPS, actively monitor your heart rate and use other fitness options, then you need to charge the device every 6-7 days. Advantages and disadvantagesThis bracelet model is popular because it is budgetary, but of high quality. Despite the simple design and minimal set of functions (compared to competitors), the device works reliably and smoothly. The sensor accurately reads the heart rate, the device registers the distance covered with an accuracy of 10 m, which is important for a fitness bracelet. The model also has disadvantages:
Average cost and where to buyXiaomi WeLoop Hey 3S is a model that rarely appears on the windows of electronics supermarkets. But it is easy to order these smart watches in online stores: the device is sold in Yandex.Market, Avito and other online resources. The price fluctuates depending on the chosen store, watch configuration, strap color - from 5500 to 7000 rubles. Comparison with competitorsWeLoop's main competitor is the Amazfit Bip Smartwatch from Huami. In terms of equipment, general characteristics and design, these models are similar. But Amazfit has a wider set of functions: there is information about the weather and environmental conditions (temperature, altitude, atmospheric pressure), more physical activity modes, a compass and some other features that the Xiaomi gadget does not have. In turn, WeLoop has a Pool mode. When choosing a gadget, the price should also be taken into account: Amazfit watches are cheaper, which, along with a wide range of functions, makes them more popular among users. Customer ReviewsMikhail, 52 years old, Kazan: “I bought watches primarily as a fitness bracelet. The device accurately displays the route, the number of steps, the distance covered, and helps to monitor the heartbeat. It makes it easy to keep fit. " Maxim, 26, Moscow: “I use my watch for cycling. It is convenient that the route is immediately saved to the phone. Of the minuses - I did not figure out how to control the audio player. Andrey, 31 years old, Astrakhan: “There is no Russian interface on the device itself, and the Russian version of the program is more like machine translation: you have to navigate by pictures. The battery with active use can withstand about 5-6 days. " |
