Shell Product Manager on the design concept of Geakwatch second generation Intelligent Watch

After the Geak watch second generation smart watch video was released, we got feedback that "you really did make a round smart watch, and it was really beautiful." "Hearing this, as the Geak watch second generation of this watch designers, the heart is very relieved, we have more than a year of painstaking efforts finally not in vain." The circle closer to the traditional watch in the last year launched the shell electronic Geak watch first generation, we have begun to design second-generation products. At the same time, we asked the third party research Institute to conduct a survey of 100,000 people and have done a survey of 2,000 people. The end result is strikingly consistent with the idea of our internal discussions-consumers want a smart watch like a traditional watch. As a smart watch, it must make the owner willing to wear the wrist every day. When it inadvertently emerges from the sleeve, it will not be abrupt, and now the smart watch can not meet this point. Next, we ruled out the square shape. In the watch industry, circular watches are much higher than square watches. In addition to aesthetic factors, circular watches are more comfortable to wear. Finally Geak watch second generation Intelligent Watch is what we see now. This classic style is also used by the Italian luxury brand, planet Panerai and the Japanese RXW brand. Its style is characterized by stable and fashionable, suitable for a wide range of age, basically a variety of clothing styles can be matched with. The birthmark screen or the full moon screen after determining the round appearance, we also screened a lot of options in the Dial and screen design. Moto 360 is one of the "birthmark screen" schemes currently in use. and Geak watch second generation intelligent watch now the "Full Moon" round screen dial design, "birthmark screen" whether in the shape ID design and hardware stacking difficulty, or in the final production costs, will be reduced. We have really considered whether to adopt this plan, the development time is shorter, the time of Time-to-market can also advance. But the "birthmark screen" scheme was eventually eliminated by the shell, since we have decided that the direction to do the perfect circle, should not be in the "semicircle" phase of the choice to halt. We have chosen a more difficult path, but we believe there will be better results. We also have to say a word for Moto 360. Moto 360 when the real machine came out, everyone found that it was not as thin as previously published pictures. From our experience, smart watches are not not able to do thin. Geak Watch Generation is one of the world's thinnest smart watches. Just a few surveys have told us that too thin a watch is not true when worn, and looks like an electronic watch that teens are after. So Geak watch second generation smart watch is not a slim watch. Smart watches need to be often noticeable in order for our Geak watch second generation to be closer to luxury watches, on the basic features of the table, we have also considered for a long time. Now the smart watch, there is a common problem, is unable to complete the "lift to look at the table" This simple. Many times, you need to click the screen, or press the button once to show the time. This behavior is an "anti-human" design, and we hate it very much. Geak Watch second generation using a special material, do "often show"-no matter when and where, do not need unnecessary action, as long as the wrist, time on the clear. Smart watch can be long standby after a variety of sensors and communication modules are assembled, the Geak watch second generation cannot replace the battery once a year or several years, as is the case with traditional watches. Yes, it needs to be recharged. But we have done a comparative test, compared with a generation of products, the Geak watch second generation endurance increased by 75%. The limit standby time will reach 18 days, the normal use only need to recharge the electricity once a week. Whether it is standby time or normal use time, Geak Watch second-generation has far more than similar products, thanks to Geak Watch second-generation battery and excellent power management system. Smart watch should be a stand-alone device smart watch should be a stand-alone device, or the extension of smartphones, which is currently a controversial topic in the industry. Moto 360 chooses to become the latter, to become the second screen of smartphones, an affiliate display terminal. And we are not hesitate to stand on the former side. We believe that smart watches can not be positioned to copy the smartphone routines, steps, sleep detection of these functions of data collection and processing should be in the smart watch independent, rather than rely on the phone. Smart watches should also have the ability to communicate deeply with people, and the system needs to be constantly upgraded and expanded. Shell Electronics is about to open Geak watch second generation of the SDK, I hope that a lot of application developers with us, let Geak watch second generation of the world's first round smart watch more useful.
