Unboxing details:
▼NOW CLASSIC's overall packaging adopts irregular inlays. The color scheme of the packaging is green and black, the overall color scheme gives people a fresh and simple style. The packaging feels like the wrong touch of the leather. The overall outer packaging is exactly the same as its brother model Now.
▼The black packaging on the front of the box is printed with Weloop LOGO, which is very simple and fashionable without excessive modification.
▼The Weloop bracelet name "NOW CLASSIC" is printed on the green packaging on the side of the box, and "NOW" is bold and "Classic" is enlarged.
▼The box adopts a book drawer design, which gives people the feeling of slowly pulling out of the bookshelf when taken out.
▼The inner box adopts a page-turning book-style design, the overall green combination is fresh, and the front is simply printed with "NOW CLASSIC" without too much introduction.
▼Following the inner box, the first thing that catches your eye is a Now Classic instruction manual.
▼The inside of the box can be divided into three pieces according to the placement position. The upper end is a wristband slot, the middle body slot, and the lower end is an accessory slot, which is clearly classified.
▼The wristband slot is placed in three different colors of wristbands, gray, red, and black, the same material and the same length ratio. A Now Classic body is placed in the fuselage slot, and a pulling and extraction belt is installed at the bottom of the fuselage, making it easy to remove the fuselage.
▼ Accessories slot adopts a concealed design, and without the wires exposed, it gives people a very clean and tidy visual sense. The wristband buckle is placed next to the accessory slot, and the overall black is printed with Weloop LOGO, which is made of metal and is more wear-resistant.
▼Product list: Now Classic body X1, color wristband X3, charging clip X1, wristband buckle X1, charging cable X1, manual X1.
▼The outer packaging design and color matching are very beautiful, but the introduction is too simple to intuitively understand the various parameters and support information of the internal product from the outside.
Host details:
▼Now CLASSIC adopts a split design with the body and wristband. The whole body is black, the whole length is 43.4mm, width is 17.9mm, thickness is 9.3mm, and the body is only 7 grams, which is very small and exquisite.
▼Now CLASSIC surface uses high-hardness mineral glass, and it is not tested for wear resistance and scratch resistance (not to be destroyed when tried), at least much stronger than Now. It uses an OLED touch screen (OLED organic light-emitting diode, which has the characteristics of self-luminescence, simple structure, ultra-thin, fast response speed, wide viewing angle, low power consumption and flexible display. It is known as a "dream display". The OLED display technology is different from the traditional LCD display method. It does not require backlights, and uses a very thin organic material coating and glass substrate. When current passes through, these organic materials will emit light).
▼Now CLASSIC surface high-hardness mineral glass adopts a submersible process. The frame of the four peripheral edges of can play a good protective role. The disadvantage is that the surrounding joint grooves are easy to hide dirt, and it is relatively difficult to clean.
▼Now CLASSIC frame is polished with plastic stamping and polishing, and its color is basically the same as the color of the surface glass, but there is still color difference under direct sunlight.
▼Now The entire back of the CLASSIC is frosted. The frosted contact surface can make the wearer sweat for a long time and should not stick to the skin, which can have a breathable effect, and can also play a scratch-resistant and wear-resistant role. The back is simply printed with yellow Weloop LOGO, product name and standard compliance information.
▼Now The lower end of the back of the CLASSIC also has four circular charging copper contacts and an anti-dust charging recessed hole. I will explain in detail later.
▼Now CLASSIC uses a slotted design in the middle, which is the design method of Now CLASSIC replacing wristbands. The wristband can be snapped into the slot to be worn. The lower part of the fuselage slot is designed in an arc shape, and the large occlusion area at both ends makes the fuselage not easy to fall off. The arc-shaped design combined with the upper and lower matte treatment of the clamping groove can also effectively prevent the fuselage from sliding left and right.
▼Now CLASSIC is available in three different colors of wristbands to choose from. The colors are divided into red, black and gray, which is suitable for different clothing matching of different groups of people. wristband length 164mm wide 14.4mm (max 17.6mm).
▼Now CLASSIC wristband is designed with ergonomic principles and is worn with a bend angle. The wristband material uses a safety-level TPU, and its flexibility and wear resistance are stronger than ordinary silicone materials. The skin-friendly texture greatly improves the wear comfort.
▼Now CLASSIC wristband has an anti-slip surface and a prominent texture. The inner side adopts a wavy design to increase the breathability of the wear.
▼Now CLASSIC wristband provides 3 holes and 12 sections of different lengths of adjustable design (6mm per section), greatly increasing the demand for wearers.
▼Now CLASSIC wrist buckle is processed with metal surface brushing process, and there is also a laser-carved Weloop LOGO in the middle. is 12.2mm long, width, 10.2mm high, 6.7mm, which is very beautiful at different angles.
▼Now CLASSIC wrist buckle embedding end and surface adopt an asymmetric design to distinguish positions. During assembly, the corresponding wrist strap embedding slot must be installed. The overall accessory offers three wristband options, but only one wrist buckle is available, which is relatively troublesome when replacing the wristband. It is intuitively felt that the workmanship and material cost of the wrist buckle is quite high, and the wear resistance and the reliability of the coating need to be tested for a long time.
▼Now CLASSIC wrist buckle adopts a double-section design and firmness and choke force are very prominent, with a width of .4mm (max 3.36mm min 1.7mm) , and it is not suitable to fall off during intense exercise.
▼Now CLASSIC is assembled and combined, and the arc submersible design at both ends of the fuselage is designed, so the installation is relatively convenient and can be completed with a gentle push and press. This design is easy to enter and difficult to get out, so you don’t have to worry about the body falling off after the inlay is completed.
▼Now CLASSIC has a compact OLED touch screen inside. You can wake up the screen by clicking it and slide left and right to view various functions, including time display, intelligent step counting, and sleep monitoring. The screen lights up time is about 5 seconds, and if it is not operated, it will enter standby mode for about 5 seconds.
▼Now CLASSIC wake-up home screen interface is displayed as time, and the displayed time and date are generated by synchronization of paired phones. Touch the screen once (slide up and down) to display the bracelet ID, power and firmware information. Touch the screen twice (slide up and down) to enter the mobile phone anti-loss function interface. The mobile phone anti-loss function is more practical. When the bracelet leaves a certain range of the phone, the anti-loss reminds will be automatically reminded. Turn off the phone and the loss reminder can be determined. Press and hold the screen for a long time to turn on or off.
▼Now CLASSIC wakes up the first screen and slides to the right (slides both sides) to enter the intelligent step count mode. Touch (slides up and down) in the intelligent step count function to switch the number of steps, calories, and distances to display in turn. The actual display of the bracelet is today's data, and other data can be viewed on the mobile APP.
▼Now CLASSIC wakes up the first screen and slides to the left (slides on both sides) to enter the sleep monitoring mode. Press and hold it long to choose to turn on or off the sleep monitoring. You need to manually switch sleep monitoring every time, which is troublesome and not smart enough to use. I hope to add automatic and manual selective switching in the future.
▼Now CLASSIC body and wristband are perfect. The diverse color selection is suitable for different people's needs. The design angle of the wristband is suitable for different groups of people to wear. The wristband is embedded in the middle of the body. Different colors and senses give people a different aesthetic. In this way, the visual surface of the body looks very thin as if it is suspended from the wristband. A product that integrates aesthetic texture!
Software details:
▼ Before using Now CLASSIC, first understand whether your phone supports Now CLASSIC, and then select different APPs according to the system type of the phone for download and installation. The manual provides a download guide. You can use the QR code to scan and download and install or search to download and install both of the above methods. Now CLASSIC support software is an APP called NOW. This APP should support the work of two bracelets, Now CLASSIC and Now.
▼The first time you enter the software, you need to perform initial pairing first. During the connection process, turn on the Bluetooth function of the mobile phone, and click to connect the device to pair. I paired several times at the beginning, but for some reason I didn’t search for the Now CLASSIC device. After resetting the bracelet, I successfully paired it.
▼NOW There is a function key in the upper left corner of the APP, which can enter the software function list, and the function list is classified clearly and detailed. It is mainly divided into: homepage, device connection, message filtering, health data, alarm clock reminder, bracelet settings and check and update. Now CLASSIC IOSAPP has two different versions, one is the personal version in STORE of the APP, and the other is the enterprise version downloaded by the browser. There are slight differences between the two. I am now using the enterprise version, which is relatively fast to update and has a relatively complete integration of functional content.
▼NOW APP homepage can view the information of the current paired device, the appearance diagram of the Now CLASSIC, the ID number 5871 of the Now CLASSIC and the connection status of the device.
▼NOW You can view the situation of paired devices during the APP device connection, observe the multi-column sorting of the information interface, and you should support multiple devices, and the content of it is the intuitive information platform for connecting the devices.
▼NOW In the message filtering of APP, you can select some message notifications that do not require Now CLASSIC reminders. Select the button next to the message to complete and close it. The software is turned on by default. Let me talk about the reminder message here. The message received by the mobile phone connected to the Now CLASSIC is fed back to the Now CLASSIC display through the APP through Bluetooth. You can understand the importance of this information to you as soon as possible. No need to take out your phone to view the necessary information for you. Personal tests: Turn on and off fully supports, and turn on and off certain messages according to your needs.
▼NOW APP health data can view the number of steps you walk, and you can only view the three data of seven days: steps, calories, and distance. health data is relatively small, but it is a very simple way to count. There is no effective real-time data monitoring, such as time period, busy and idle time, excessive exercise, etc. In addition, it is necessary to make effective analysis data based on different groups of people and age groups to obtain daily recommended target requirements. Now CLASSIC data is a major shortcoming.
▼NOW APP alarm clock reminder can be set. The reminder function is triggered by the bracelet vibration reminder according to the APP setting fixed time. The vibration is divided into 13 short-wave vibrations. The interval between the 12th and 13th times is longer than other intervals, and the vibration is more powerful and clear in the senses. alarm clock reminder can only set a fixed alarm clock, and for people like me who have more than a dozen alarm clocks, they can only hide from the corners and draw circles.
▼NOW APP bracelet settings and check updates I will give a brief introduction. The bracelet settings can set some other functions of the bracelet, such as Do Not Disturb at Night, Common Questions, Send Logs, Restart the Bracelet and Restore the appearance settings. The bracelet is usually worn 24 hours ago. The function includes the function Do Not Disturb at Night in the middle of the night and you don’t have to be afraid of spam information. It is a very practical and humane function from the perspective of user usage. Restarting the bracelet and restoring the appearance settings are also relatively convenient. We can directly implement the restart and recovery functions on the mobile phone. Now CLASSIC upgrade can be implemented in the inspection and update, and the corresponding firmware can be pushed as soon as possible after being connected to the network.
Experience details:
Experience tool: Fruit 4S IOS8.1.2, Now APP Enterprise Version V1.2, Now CLASSIC V1.29~V1.3
Now CLASSIC appears after upgrading V1.3 firmware. After the upgrade, the phone and information reminder all work abnormally. After that, the Bluetooth is disconnected and reconnected, it works normally.
▼Now CLASSIC is easier to assemble and is relatively simple, but it is not particularly convenient to wear and hold the wristband. is also prone to deviating and falling off during the cleavage process. Is it easier to wear if you add a limit cover?
▼Now CLASSIC is selected according to your preferences. The unique skin-friendly feeling of the TPU wristband makes it more comfortable to wear. The overall weight is only 20g and there is basically no weight feeling when worn.
▼Now CLASSIC touch screen has high sensitivity and fast switching speed, and the touch screen is easy to stick to gray and leave fingerprints. raising your hand to light up the screen is more convenient to display and view. It is also a very good choice for people who cannot operate their work. However, this function cannot be displayed effectively by raising your hand alone. You need to flip it up and then succeed. The test has 22 hand-up flipped 16 times, the screen light failed to light it up 4 times, and the wrist lighted it down twice. The success rate is still very good! It’s just that the screen is slow to be on the screen, which requires about 1S buffer time.
▼Now CLASSIC raises the screen to light up the screen test:

▼Now CLASSIC's reminder function is very user-friendly, and it is very convenient to remind people whether it is phone, text message, WeChat, QQ, or Weibo. reminder function is combined with vibration touch and display reminder. The display screen displays paragraphs in two lines, each line displays 14 Chinese (16 English) and the total screen displays 28 Chinese (32 English). The front-end displays the information name of the pick-up software ends with "丨", and then the sender name ends with ":". If the number of words is relatively long, the scrolling display will be displayed up to 37 Chinese (76 English, there will be no ellipsis in English). The characters cannot be displayed in the subsequent display with ellipsis instead. In addition, special symbols cannot be displayed and only simple Chinese symbols can be displayed. During use, the reminder function can be enabled according to your own needs. If you usually have more information in QQ group, you can choose to turn off the group information reminder in the QQ group without affecting the reminder content of other QQ information. WeChat and other reminders can also be operated in this way without entering NOW to set it. It is available for personal testing.
▼Now CLASSIC APP is still in the stage of improvement, and its basic functions have been included but are not perfect enough, which is mainly reflected in the health data. The V1.29 firmware cannot synchronize motion data. After upgrading to V1.3, it is perfectly solved, but it is necessary to turn off at night when synchronizing early.
▼Now CLASSIC has the lack of display light sensitivity and brightness since the OLED material is used in the screen. Of course, the display of at night is not without pressure. When the sun is exposed, its display is not strong enough, but the light transmittance based on the external screen is not bad, so it can basically be seen clearly.
▼Now CLASSIC has a very good battery life , which can work for 162 hours, including standby time and frequency of use (frequency of use per day = 5 to 15 phone calls, 10 to 30 text messages, and 15 to 40 wrist lifts). Of course, each person's frequency of use will also be different.It is worth mentioning that it can standby for more than 12 hours when the power is zero, and its standby power consumption is basically negligible.
Now CLASSIC has worn and worn marks on the body, which are mainly reflected in the frame of the bracelet, but it is very slight, which can basically be ignored. When Now CLASSIC is connected to the APP, the search is not particularly sensitive. When the first use is used, the search is not searched for the device. When the search is fake death, the reset is perfectly solved. It is recommended that you add search on the bracelet display screen for dynamics, so that users can effectively understand whether the search situation is correct. In the Now CLASSIC APP interface, the step counting data and sleep data exist on the same page. The classification is not detailed enough and the data cannot be clearly understood and analyzed at a glance. It is recommended that the sleep data be classified separately. Among them, the classification of step calculation algorithms in the motion step calculation needs to be optimized, and the step calculation is unclear and has no sense of data.
Additional functions:
▼Now CLASSIC adopts the back clip charging method. The charging clip needs to be connected to a standard data charging cable, and its charging input can reach 5V=2A. The basic input of the general bracelet is around 0.5~1A. The current using the 2A input. The charging speed of the 2A input is faster than that of the general bracelet, but does not support the 2.1A output mobile power supply. There are snap-on inserts at both ends of the charging clip to ensure that the two ends of the back of the bracelet can be fixed and not fall off. There are holes for anti-stupid charging between the charging clip and the bracelet to prevent the contact position, so there is no need to worry about confusion between the contact position. The charging clip is also thoughtful and has "little ears" to pull the ears and remove them easily. bracelet has four copper points in contact with each other and three charging spring pins in the charging stand. Among them, the number one and number three charging spring pins in the charging base are charging inputs, and number two and number three are the on-reset ends. In addition, I estimate that the extra contact point of the bracelet should be the program burning end. The charging method of is relatively convenient, the charging equipment is small and easy to carry, and the charging buckle is more convenient to take out. The disadvantage of is that the charging buckle is easy to be damaged when pulled for a long time, and the charging buckle is damaged and cannot effectively contact .
▼Now CLASSIC waterproof level reaches 3ATM swimming bath pressure-free . It is recommended to take off the bath, because plastic parts have an aging cycle. If overheating for a long time, the plastic parts will accelerate the aging of . Generally, I like to take off naked when taking a bath. This method is convenient and can achieve a sense of nothingness.
Summary: After this period of use, Now CLASSIC gave me very satisfactory overall feeling. Of course, any product produced has a combination of advantages and disadvantages, which is inevitable. Finally, I will briefly summarize the advantages and disadvantages.
Now CLASSIC advantages:
. Fashionable and beautiful appearance, with a wide range of choices for three-color wristbands, suitable for wearing many groups;
. The wristband material is comfortable and has a skin-friendly feeling;
. The overall weight is light, and the weight is not suppressed and worn;
. The hand-raising time is convenient and fast;
. The information is pushed quickly, and the delay can be ignored is basically in synchronization with the mobile phone push;
. High waterproof coefficient, you can wear swimming and micro-submersible;
. Information push needs to be displayed, greatly improving the bracelet battery life;
Now CLASSIC disadvantages:
. Wearing method is not human enough, and the strap is easily deviated from position when locking;
. The sliding and pressing of the touch screen is not sensitive enough, and the reflection speed is not fast enough;
. Bluetooth connection and data synchronization are not fast enough;
. The APP's sleep movement distinction is not detailed enough, and there is only one step count, but no expansion data is meaningful;
. Whether there is any data displayed when the health data is synchronized;
. Sleep monitoring needs to be entered manually, which is not smart enough;
. The sensitivity of raising the hand to display is not high, and there is often no reflection may be related to the flip angle.
