Fitness Bracelet Meizu Bong 3 HR (4 months of use)

It is time for the passive reader to contribute to the development of Nsmartphone, or wanting an overview of the underrated analog Xiaomi Mi Band 2!

The desire to buy a fitness bracelet or smart watches came a long time, but the lack of a display, and in some other high cost did not allow me to do it. Although the appointment of both different, wanted to try something at a very low price. After the release of Xiaomi Mi Band 2, I thought – that’s what I need: a minimal functional wearable, functional and complete fitness bracelet Xiaomi Mi Band 1s. It was not there, after reading the comments on 4pda, I’m a little lost heart. Frequent marriages button scratched cover of the display, the lack of a full-fledged smart alarm clock, a small display, all this forced me to abandon the purchase of this device. So I started looking for another and stumbled on Meizu Bong 3 HR review. Full reviews on 4pda and the more surveys in Russian at that time was not what it seemed strange, all the same, Meizu is not a bad brand itself an interesting bracelet. This is caused by the low popularity of the company’s orientation to Chinese users. Without hesitation (08.02.2016) the order was placed (in a cap Set another dealer with a lower price!). August 10 seller sent the September 3, I got it.

EQUIPMENT

Here are all modest. The box of the Meizu Bong 3 HR review itself is a capsule, strap, manual and charging cable.

APPEARANCE

In a nutshell, minimalistic and elegant. Suitable and man, but a woman.

The entire front side of the Meizu Bong 3 HR review is covered with a protective glass. (Did not find the information on the materials, I think it’s glass.) Total Operating appeared only a couple of scratches inconspicuous.

Black and white OLED display diagonal of 0.91 inches has two brightness levels and can accommodate up to 2 times more information than the display Mi Band 2. In the summer sunshine on the screen hard to see anything in the rest of the time all perfectly readable under all viewing angles.

On the reverse side are located: a sensor heart / blood oxygen (blue LED flashes when the work) and contacts for charging (slightly oxidized). In the box for sensors seemingly traces from water, but in reality – just a drop of Chinese glue.

The concave shape allows the capsule to adhere perfectly to the wrist.

Made of comfortable material. The capsule is inserted from below, sitting tight. Mounting as with other bracelets, using the latch holds up well. For all time use were small scrapes on one of the faces.

Sellers in the sale are only one version of the standard strap, although advertised many other, more vivid.

FUNCTIONAL

On the bracelet Meizu Bong 3 HR review there are no mechanical or touch-sensitive buttons, all the control realized with gestures changes position in space. Activation of the screen is done by rotating the wrist gesture in the direction of the person. Further, transition between modes occurs either automatically or manually using the same gesture (configurable in the app). Gesture hands abduction blanks the screen. The screen also can pay off after 14 seconds, hold the bracelet in the same position. Manage gestures works flawlessly. False positives do happen, but not so often, and almost do not interfere (illuminating the room at night).

You can customize the display of information on the screen in the application – either in the course of the hand, or side to side. In some places across fit more information.

On the bracelet Meizu Bong 3 HR review, you can watch this.

• Clock (date, time, day of the week);
• Completed steps;
• The distance covered;
• Spent energy (kcal);

Current weather: general condition and rainfall – sunny / cloudy / rain / snow; temperature in degrees Celsius; the amount of fine dust / PM particles (probably true for the Chinese); and one more unknown parameter;

The measured heart rate and blood oxygen saturation.

Time zone, date, time, weather is pulled from the phone. Most likely this message is displayed when the current weather is not loaded.

Other bracelet features, working in conjunction with a smartphone:

Notice of calling: the bracelet vibrates and the display shows the caller’s name if it appears on a phone or a phone number in full. The notification does not occur immediately, and after 1-2 seconds after the call.

Notification Messaging SMS, Wechat, QQ: bracelet vibrates and displays text messages, breaking into two parts.
Smart alarm: vibration wakes, not long before the specified time in the application, in a shallow sleep phase.
sports training mode (below is more).

It is said that the withdrawal of any text is supported only in the Latin alphabet. So I moved a couple of the most frequently used contacts to English.

Bracelet Meizu Bong 3 HR review paired with Oneplus One. Communication holds good, 15-20 meters without obstacles.

Install applications «bong international» from the Play Store. The app is beautifully decorated and a pleasure to use. Interface in English, but the difficulties should arise.

We make the initial configuration: specify the gender, height, weight, date of birth, bong id, sleep normal, planned expenditure of calories.

Consider three useful tabs and “most interesting” items.

The important point, which, judging by the name of the device class must be main.
The application selects one of the three types of physical activity (Tab Timeline, the mode icon in the upper-right corner):

• Running. Use the “default” for daily physical activity;
• Fitness. It is characterized by almost continuous (every minute) heart rate measurement;
• Cycle. Velotrenerovoka. It is characterized by frequent measurements of heart rate, it uses a GPS module. (In my builds itinerary. Do not check)

A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE ACCURACY OF MEASUREMENTS

The measurement accuracy of the pedometer.

He conducted several experiments, the result was as follows: the average of the 50 practical steps counted 46 steps from 100 – 95. I am satisfied with this result. Though if they will lie down in it. Sometimes winds pedometer steps for simple hand movements, but that will not go away. When driving in transport extra twitching filtered. When running the measurement error increases.

The accuracy of heart rates measurement.

As you can see in the quiescent state it is very similar to the truth. After a small load (sit-ups and push-ups) I received the following:

Either I tonometer lying or problems with heart rate measurement is not.

Time measurement Pulse 20-30 seconds. The first versions of firmware heart rate often produce errors, and more lying, now apparently corrected.

“Accuracy” measuring blood oxygen saturation.

About this I can not say) I think the figures are derived from the bulldozer and untrue (always 97-99%). In general, this function is useless.

AUTONOMY

The bracelet Meizu Bong 3 HR review depends on the use of modes and settings. I wear the bracelet without having to remove the settings: normal brightness level included monitoring heart rate (every hour) and the bracelet in this mode works for about two weeks. When low battery icon is displayed on the bracelet.

RELIABILITY

We should also say that the device is “Verified” is water-resistant, can withstand high temperatures (several times went to the bath, in the shower) and with proper use does not lose the original appearance.

A few words of support.
On the phone often come to update the application and firmware for the bracelet. It appears new features (for example, on the bracelet added display of weather in the annex – a window for weight control), bug fixes, improved algorithms. Hopefully in the future, developers will add support for other instant messengers, would also like to see the Cyrillic alphabet!

IMHO

In general, all of the current functionality implemented on the bracelet and in Annex I are satisfied. I am satisfied with quality workmanship and good support. On Meizu Bong 3 HR review should pay attention to if you want to get a good fitness bracelet!
