This is an original more than a year late, but it is often said that the road is far from horsepower. My watch was purchased in April last year. The use of more than 400 days should be sufficient to understand a product, and it must be run in the face of spending money. The principle also pours on more than a year of running. Of course, the Garmin official has already discontinued the 225. At present, the Forerunner series of entry products is 235, and there have been good prices of around 1300, sorry to buy early.
The Bank of China is currently only able to buy third-party merchants authorized by Tmall. The price has also dropped to 1280. At that time, the purchase was still 1680. If I can start within 1000, I think it is appropriate.
Below, I will evaluate each aspect of 225 one by one.
Appearance: In the assessmentWhy give a review? Because it looks like an obscure plastic electronic watch. Plastic body, plastic screen, extremely low proportion of screen, no sense of technology and aesthetics at all. Because of this, very few people wear it all day, so its real-time monitoring function has never been used in my day.
However, as a watch that is mainly used for sports monitoring, such a design is enough to highlight the sport, and it is also the entry level.
Garmin's Forerunner series positioning is running fitness class, this is a pure stopwatch. It does not have riding record function, no swimming record function, no altitude monitoring, pressure monitoring function, no compass, map function, no smart notification function, but can not play music, its only function is to record your running distance, pace , time, heart rate, and success are very good, of course, is also used for hiking.
In the running state, there are three screens to display different information. It is the heart rate interface, distance, pace, time interface and real time interface, which can be manually switched by two page keys. After each lap (the distance of the circle can be freely set, the default 1000m), there will be a vibration reminder and settlement interface, showing the pace and cumulative time. It is not possible to view the overall data during running, such as the average pace, the pace of the preceding laps, etc. Subject to screen size and product positioning, 225 does not support Connect IQ. This data can only be presented digitally, and cannot be combined like a 235. This is the biggest regret.
Of course, in addition to the running function, the 225 also has all-day health monitoring and sleep monitoring functions. The main way to monitor health throughout the day is to monitor your steps, calories burned, or heart rate in real time in the standby mode. You can also view it by pressing the page key and upload it to a dedicated app for viewing. However, because of the appearance, I seldom wore it without running, so this feature is quite tasteless. The sleep monitoring function determines your sleep status by monitoring your heart rate during the sleep period you set. The actual experience is not very accurate. It only monitors for a set period of time and wears a gigantic watch. Sleeping also feels unaccustomed and this function is rarely used.
Heart rate: middle assessmentThe 225 uses the mio's heart rate sensor. Starting from 235, Garmin started using its own sensor. What is the difference between the two? I think that in the range of daily use, the two are not divided, because the photoelectric heart rate is not allowed. So, often see the value of friends asked, xx bracelet for parents to monitor how heart rate? The answer is, don’t waste money. It’s okay to say that the bracelets are used to run and it’s a matter of life safety.
Back to the product itself, it's OK for even-intensity exercise. Intermittent exercise is done directly. When it's low, it's not low. When it's high, it's not high. If you have high heart rate accuracy, you may still have a heart rate belt.
Wear: praise
The strap is made of rubber material. The intensive perspiration holes are designed so that they don't feel stuffy or wet when worn for a long time. They don't need to be worn tightly and are comfortable to wear.
The back of the photoelectric sensor is raised, surrounded by a circle of light pad to ensure that the outside light will not interfere with the heart rate measurement, wearing a long time there will be traces. The shading ring can be dismantled. Underneath it is a real filth, and obsessive-compulsive disorder is not to open it.
The diameter of the dial is 48mm, which is not too large for male users, and it is estimated that the sister user wears it larger.
The parameter of this screen is 2.54cm in diameter, and the resolution is 180x180. However, when there are so many kung fu tubes in running, I think what the user needs most is to look at the mileage, time, or heart rate in a bright light or at night. This 225 is very good.
In the bright light will not have too much reflection, and because it is the LCD screen does not have to worry about the brightness problem; at night there are backlights to illuminate the entire screen, there are users to reflect the problem of light leakage, I think I still can accept this.
GPS & Star Search Speed: Mid-RatedJiaming is a GPS startup company and GPS accuracy is impeccable. The 225's GPS specifications are mandatory smart sampling, single-star, and 235 dual-star, but the actual use is not very different.
The obvious difference lies in the speed of star search. The search speed of 225 is between 1 second and 3 minutes. It's no mistake. The gap is so big. I am accustomed to unlocking and searching for stars at the same location. If I just unlocked it, I can search it. If I am slow, I can search it.
Interaction logic: praise
All operations are completed by five buttons, there is no need to double-click or long-press operation, one-handed operation is no pressure. The operation logic is simple and easy to understand. The highest level four menus have low learning cost.
Data storage: praiseCurrently, my device stores about 230 sports records from October 2016 to August 2017. The official parameter display can record 200 hours of activity data, which is generally sufficient. With the accumulation of new data, old data will be automatically deleted a little bit, and can be stored for a long time after being synchronized to the mobile phone APP.
However, one of the unique features of the personal record is permanently saved. It records your farthest running distance, the fastest 1km, the longest running time and other data.
It also has a built-in statistics function that can be selected to view by month or week.
Life: praiseWhen GPS is turned on and the backlight is turned on all the time, it takes 30 minutes a day for a full two weeks, that is, about 7 hours. It is enough to run a whole horse. If it is watch mode, you can wait more than one month. This is unmatched by APPLE WATCH.
Charging requires the use of special clips, only supporting micro-current charging. The charging speed is fast, 20% can be charged in 10 minutes, and it can be filled in 1 hour. It should be noted that, just after using the watch, it must be dry and recharge the sweat, otherwise it will corrode the contacts.
Strap: PraiseGarmin comes with a set of replacement straps and dismantling tools. Selling them so expensively is also a must.
We only need to insert two screwdrivers at the same time into the shaft, and then it can be easily removed by rotating it in the opposite direction. The black strap is still pretty, and the strap material is not gray.
Supporting App: Bad ReviewI think this is not only my voice, but also the voice of the majority of users of Garmin, and the Connect of Jiaming is doing really bad. Although Garmin has been updating its version, the fundamental design concept is very problematic and it is impossible to visualize the data the user needs. I'm looking for a record of the last weekend's running. It's almost half a day, not to mention the snail's Bluetooth connection speed. Foreign product managers are so anti-human.
Poor return, we still come to see what APP can show. The homepage of the APP is used to display daily steps, sleep, running, swimming and other information. You can swipe left or right to switch between them, and you can choose the information you want to display. For me, swimming and riding are useless. It's better to show me how many kilometers I ran.
Click on the bar chart below to enter the date list, select and view the sports details for a particular day. Take running as an example, we can view the whole course of the trajectory, pace, heart rate, step frequency and other detailed information.
Let's take a look at the trajectory, which directly reflects the accuracy of GPS. The last run of the university era and the small partner, in addition to the larger deviation in the first lap, is still relatively accurate at other times, and I think it is caused by too slow search star.
As the saying goes, buying new electronic products does not buy old ones, so I suggest that students who want to enter the pits should try to get 235 when they are cheap, because 235 can bring you all the 225 experience and more advanced features. The model is actually a generation away.
Of course, if the price of the new 225 is less than 1000, the price/performance ratio is still good. It is a pure stopwatch for people who just want to run. As an entry product, it is very competent. If the budget is enough, I'm also very worried about Fenix.
