Earlier this month, Microsoft also released its own latest and best new generation wearable device Microsoft Band 2, this smart wristbands once again enhanced and added some flagship fitness and health tracking function, it looks comparable to the market range of smart watches.However, when it comes to smart watches, this product is of concern not just Microsoft Band 2, also includes Samsung's latest Gear S 2, and Apple's Apple Watch's hard not mentioned, even when referring to the fitness expertise to provide Apple rubber strap Apple Watch Sport Sport.
Of course, we need to sort out that Microsoft's Band series is mainly positioned as a fitness
tracker, while Samsung and Apple Watch Gear S 2 smart watches are mainly supplied with a more comprehensive fitness function. However, each product is currently leading the most wearable device, because the presence of all competing with each other. For being selected wearable device users, this option may not know how to do, so let's do some simple comparison on these three products.
Design
Band 2 and Band 1 has more than 70 percent similarity, the most significant change than using a curved arc design, including the display of the strap itself has radians. This change will make the inside of the strap more fit the user's hand ring, more ergonomic than before, more comfortable to wear, and the inner and outer adaptation hand outer wear.
Early Samsung smart watch design is quite struggling, you can almost see the shape of various styles, but these worn on the wrist looks pretty strange people, such as with Gear 2英寸curved screen S. However, those are just a transitional product, the real essence is condensed into Gear series today these two new products, and now they finally look like a normal smart watches, and with perfectly circular screen design. However, the space is relatively small, and in order to lighter made of plastic, only the classic version Classic plus leather strap with stainless steel case design, it really thin, only 11.4mm thick, the current market there is little to do smart watches this thickness.
Apple Watch Apple is still the top model of the process design, very beautiful. For it is equipped with a square display screen, a lot of comments that for a smart watch seems out of place, but it is many optional color and strap, table styles, fashion is still engaging with them. Apple Watch Gear S 2 than a little thin, only 10.5mm of thickness.
The smart watches and fitness wristband designed to compare, it's hard to decide who is better, even if the smart watch, but also completely due to personal preference. Of course, if a professional appearance to theory, then, is certainly smart wristbands Baand 2, while the watch is certainly circular Gear S2.
Screen
Surface Band 2 wristband is a 32 × 12.8mm long strips AMOLED screen, covered with a protective layer of glass Gorilla Glass 3, with a resolution of 320 × 128 pixels. Samsung Gear S2 dial circle is a circle 1.2 inches Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 360 × 360 pixels. Finally, Apple's Apple Watch, dial offers two sizes, one is money 38mm (1.5 inches), with a resolution of 340 × 272 pixels, and the other one is 42mm (1.65 inches), with a resolution of 390 × 312 pixels. In terms of screen display parameters on the results, then the pixel density of 302ppi Samsung Gear S2 really good.
Processors, storage and memory
Microsoft has not announced Microsoft Band 2 processor, storage capacity or RAM running memory size, we can not guess. Samsung and Apple Apple Watch Gear S2 are respectively equipped with a self-designed 1GHz Exynos processor and S1 chipset. It is also difficult to compare, because Apple has never provided details of the processor. As for storage space, Samsung Gear S2 have 4GB, Apple Watch reached 8GB, two products are shipped with 512MB of RAM memory. In this regard, 8GB of Apple Watch occupy certain advantages seem, after all, can be installed more than app.
Fitness Tracking
Microsoft Band 2 is a typical and powerful fitness tracker, came to 11 the number of sensors, including heart rate sensor, triaxial accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS, ambient light sensor, galvanic skin response sensors, ultraviolet sensors, skin temperature sensor, capacitive proximity sensor and altimeter. Basically, you can imagine related to motion the necessary monitoring equipment, can be found in Band 2 body, quite complete.
As for functionality, heart rate monitor, pedometer, record speed, burn calories, monitor the quality of sleep, UV monitoring equipment, galvanic skin reflect testing, elevation above sea level, the maximum oxygen uptake and amount of sleep quality, etc., it is also a not fall . Meanwhile, Microsoft also provides a dedicated Health interface to help users store more uniform collection and tracking data.
This does not mean Samsung Gear S2 and Apple Watch no fitness tracking, Gear S2 also built a series of sensors, including accelerometers, gyroscopes, heart rate sensor, ambient light sensor and barometer, etc., to create their own fitness and Samsung using tracking applications are also an important part, but it works and the way the Microsoft Band 2 is almost, but also supports real-time tracking.
As Apple Watch, in fact, when it comes to fitness and motion tracking function, although not built so much sensor, only heart rate sensor, acceleration sensor, etc., but also have a complete program of their own, especially in the case with the iPhone next. For those who want stylish and hope can be used for fitness, it may be considered a more integrated or Apple Watch and Gear S2, and the hope of a non-professional sports and fitness Band 2 is none other than Microsoft.
Battery life
Microsoft did not disclose the size of the battery Band 2, saying only that the built-in lithium polymer battery charging time can be used for two days (48 hours), but still based on the actual situation. Samsung Gear S2 Standard Edition comes standard with a 250mAh battery, Samsung said it can be life 2--3 days, depending on usage. Apple's Apple Watch for the 205mAh battery size, officials said before a charge is only 18 hours of battery life, but after watchOS 2 release, users can get two days to reflect life.
Compatibility
honest, above these comparisons are not important, you consider compatibility is the key issue. Apple's Apple Watch can only be used in conjunction with the iPhone, and completely unable to function as a standalone device. In contrast, Samsung's Gear S2 is compatible with most Android smartphones, and provide 3G option, so can be used as a fully independent device.Another of Microsoft's Band 2, the most powerful compatibility, support for Android, iOS and Windows Phone platform, so no matter which platform you are a user, start to experience its powerful tracking features.
Prices
, of course, prices also played a decisive role, Gear S2 and Band 2 being no BNM offer, starting price abroad and $ 249 to $ 299 respectively, while Apple Watch starting from $ 349.
Summary
If you are a real keen on fitness and sports and want to have professional equipment users, Microsoft Band 2 is undoubtedly the best choice among the three, the user can play for those who want a full range of Apple's Apple Watch and Gear S2 is the better choice, the two have a very nice design, the former has been recognized by most people as a fashion product, which is more like a watch.
