Fast pace of life, high work pressure, irregular diet, high blood pressure, heart disease, etc. have shown a clear trend of youth, becoming an important threat to the physical health of modern people. In order to enable users to understand their physical functions in real time, Asus released the first smartwatch ASUS VivoWatchBP, which can provide blood pressure measurements in heart rate and pulse transmission time, on Computex last year. In particular, monitoring blood pressure is not available to other watches, which can better help users manage their health. How is this product performing? The author had some experience.
Appearance
ASUS VivoWatch BP health watch has a simple and elegant outer packaging. The packaging includes a manual, watch body, Micro-USB charging cable and charging stand.
Each accessory has an independent "position" and is protected very well, so there is no need to worry about the accessories bump during transportation.
Asus VivoWatch BP health watch overall adopts a black appearance color scheme, which looks relatively low-key and calm. The biggest difference between this watch that passed the 2019 iF Awards and other smartwatches is the metal contacts on it, and the index finger can measure blood pressure and pressure relief index. Of course, this watch has ASUS Health AI management and sleep management functions, has built-in GPS and supports ASUS HealthConnectAPP, which allows you to view the user's current physical health status on your phone.
dial is relatively wide, with a reflective colorful LCD screen on the front, which can also have a clear picture display effect under direct sunlight. Since the reflective display can see the picture as long as there is light, and the backlight needs to be turned on in the dark, it is relatively power-saving.
The two large metal sheets on the back and the circular metal sheet on the front are combined into an electrocardiogram sensor (ECG) to measure pulse waves and determine the heart rate. In the middle of the electrocardiogram sensor is another set of optical heart rate sensors. The three sensors work together to complete the calculation of blood pressure.
strap uses a silicone strap, plus a weight of 45 grams, so it is relatively light when worn and will not feel burdened when exercising. It is worth mentioning that the Asus VivoWatch BP health watch adopts an IP67-level waterproof and dust-proof design, which is no problem to protect against splashes in daily use.
Using
As we all know, the common blood pressure meter Whether it is a mercury column blood sphygmomanometer or an electronic blood sphygmomanometer, it is necessary to inflate the arm or wrist strap. Even if you use a relatively small wrist electronic blood sphygmomanometer, it is a more troublesome to carry real-time monitoring with you. The Asus VivoWatch BP health table measures blood pressure based on pulse transmission time (PTT). Compared with the traditional measurement method, the PTT method realizes cuffless and non-compressive measurement, allowing users to quickly obtain changes in blood pressure trends, and have a better user experience.
The author has experienced and found that when the Asus VivoWatch BP health watch is turned on for the first time, it needs to make basic settings for personal information, including wearing method, gender, height, weight, age, time, etc., and then download its exclusive APP - Asus HealthConnect on the mobile phone for pairing and connection to use all functions.
In terms of blood pressure measurement, after connecting to the mobile APP, the APP will prompt the user to use a reliable blood pressure monitor to measure blood pressure first, and fill in the results into the APP to match and calibrate the data measured by the watch. After preparation, enter the blood pressure measurement interface on the watch, and follow the screen prompts to easily measure blood pressure. The author is a watch worn by the left hand, so I place the index finger of my right hand on the electrocardiogram sensor next to the screen and completely cover the optical heart rate sensor emitting green light. Generally, blood pressure values can be obtained in about 15 to 20 seconds, which is very convenient.
In terms of measuring heart rate, when wearing the Asus VivoWatch BP health watch on your hands, the heart rate sensor will work around the clock to measure your current heart rate in real time. At the same time, you can also see the highest/lowest/average heart rate of the day in order to reasonably arrange the amount of exercise. At the same time, press the heart rate contact in the upper left corner of the index finger, and the watch can measure your heart rate for you. When it is displayed in green, it means that it is being measured. In more than a minute, you can measure the accurate systolic blood pressure / diastolic blood pressure , and the heart rate will also be displayed in an electrocardiogram.
In addition to measuring heart rate and blood pressure, the common functions of ASUS VivoWatch BP health tables on smartphones such as step counting, call information reminders, sleep monitoring, etc., also provide you with professional health management. For example, in sports mode, the watch can record data such as movement speed, distance, time and path. The health table monitors and counts activity information through built-in GPS sensors, and calculates your calories and consumption based on this real-time data. When you reach the amount of exercise you need for the day, the watch screen will display or use aerobic reminders in a vibrating manner to avoid excessive fatigue and make your exercise more scientific.
In addition, you can also view sleep time, deep sleep time, steps, exercise mileage, calorie burn, heart rate, maximum heart rate, exercise stopwatch and other data on the Asus VivoWatch BP health watch. Wearing it during exercise can better monitor your physical condition and adjust your exercise rhythm.
In terms of battery life, the official ASUS VivoWatch BP health watch claims that the normal use time is about 28 days, and it takes about 40 minutes to fully charge the watch. Generally speaking, under normal use, it can last at least three weeks, which is close to the official nominal January battery life. You don’t have to carry a charging stand with you for a period of time when traveling on business.
Summary: A pure personal health management smart watch
Compared with many fancy smart watch products on the market, the Asus VivoWatch BP health watch is a purely smart watch for personal health management. The watch transforms the latest academic achievements into a convenient tool. Blood pressure measurement can help users better understand their blood pressure changes, thereby preventing them in advance.
