如今,可穿戴技术变得越来越重要,因为我们所有的日常用品都变得越来越智能。虽然我们距离拥有带有HUD(HUDs)等的头盔还很遥远,但智能手表已经存在了一段时间,现在不仅仅是简单的玩具。我们正在审查的智能手表背后的公司Vector Watch(Vector Watch)是这款游戏的相对新手,并且对此类产品的处理方式与大多数制造商不同。阅读我们的评论,了解他们在比赛中的Vector Luna 手表(Vector Luna watch)票价。有什么好处吗?值得购买吗?
拆箱智能手表
当我们收到Vector Luna并看到它的包装盒时,我们立即了解到Vector的设计师对优雅有着深刻的理解。Luna采用立方体形状的盒子,设计简洁简约,上面印有手表的一些主要特征。
事实上,有一个纸板包装可以取下来露出盒子本身:这更加优雅并且质量上乘。它是一个黑色的盒子,上面有一个浮雕的金色按钮,上面印有金色的Vector 标志(Vector logo)。盒子用磁铁封闭,这是一种比通常的纸板边缘更有趣和更耐用的解决方案。
打开盒子,手表就露出来了,它被包裹在一个泡沫支架(foam holder)上,放在一块纸板里:看起来都很优雅,纸板甚至还有一条丝带(silk strap),可以很容易地从盒子里拿出来.
手表下方还有另一个折叠纸板架(cardboard holder),里面装有手表的USB 充电器(USB charger)和保修单(warranty slip)。没有包含其他配件,尽管这是可以理解的,因为没有可用的配件。无论如何,你能想象出什么样的智能手表配件?也没有手册,但您可以从 Vector 网站(from the Vector website)下载。
Vector Luna 的包装质量上乘且优雅。拆箱手表本身就是一种很棒的体验。您会觉得您正在处理一块制作精良的高品质手表。(The Vector Luna's packaging is of great quality and elegance. Unboxing the watch is a great experience on its own. You feel that you are handling a watch of high quality that is luxuriously crafted.)
设计和质量
Vector Luna 智能手表(Vector Luna smartwatch)共有九种不同颜色和表带(color and strap variations)可供选择。有六种不同的 Lunas 有皮革表带(精钢(Steel)配黑色皮革(Black Leather)、玫瑰金(Rose Gold)配(Champagne Gold)黑色鳄鱼(Black Croco)皮、香槟金配黑色鳄鱼(Black Croco)皮、精钢(Steel)配棕褐色皮革(Tan Leather)、拉丝黑色(Brushed Black)配棕色皮革和扁平黑色(Brown Leather and Flat Black)配黑色硅胶(Black Silicone))和三个配钢表链(钢(Steel)与钢(Steel),玫瑰金(Rose Gold)与玫瑰金和黑色拉丝(Rose Gold and Brushed Black)黑色钢(Black Steel))。这些版本的区别仅在于手表的颜色以及表带或手链的(strap or bracelet)类型和颜色(type and color),而不是功能或价格。您可以在此处(here)查看包含所有这些选项的图库。
我们有玫瑰金表带(Rose Gold watch)玫瑰金表链(Rose Gold bracelet)进行测试,首先我们要注意的是,就奢华设计而言,它可能有点过分了。鲜艳的金色(gold color)带有一丝红色,非常闪亮和奢华。如果您真的想炫耀您的最新小工具,这可能是一个非常好的选择,因为您肯定会注意到佩戴这个小工具。这款智能手表可用的其他设计要温和得多,颜色更深,呈银色。
引起我们注意的第二件事——可能是对我们影响最大的事情——是这只手表相当大。时计为圆形,直径为44毫米或1.73英寸,由不锈钢制成,并带有玫瑰金饰面,而正面由矿物玻璃制成,看起来相当耐用。
Vector Luna不仅直径大,而且表壳也相当厚重:再加上 22 毫米(0.86 英寸)的表链,Vector Luna的重量不低于 157 克或 5.54 盎司。这可能看起来并不多,但一开始可能会给您的手腕带来压力,而且肯定需要一些时间来适应。
第一次戴的时候,大约3个小时后我们不得不把它取下来,让我们的手腕休息(wrist rest)一会儿。几天后我们习惯了它的大小和重量(size and weight),但它对你的手来说仍然是一个相当大的负担。
还值得注意的是,由于它的尺寸,你不能真正让衬衫的袖子盖住Luna,除非衬衫有更多的纽扣来调整它。这不一定是问题,但您应该知道,无论您走到哪里,您都会(will)脱颖而出。
表壳和表链均由优质钢制成(quality steel),看起来非常耐用。它有光泽且易于清洁。此外,很明显,它的制造过程中没有使用廉价材料(m anufacture)。钢表链(steel bracelet)可以调整以适合您的手腕,但您可能需要请制表师为您做,因为从它上取下链节并不容易。皮革表带有两种尺寸,Vector Watch 网站(Vector Watch website) 有一个方便的指南(has a handy guide),可帮助您选择合适(right one)的。
仔细观察表壳,我们可以看到它是一款简洁而简单的时计,功能不多。在正面,表盘(watch face)下方有Vector 标志(Vector logo),可以根据自己的喜好进行配置 - 但我们稍后会讨论。背面有一个重要的连接器,可用于为手表充电。这使用了磁性技术,充电器只需卡在手表上,这使得连接和断开连接更加容易,当然它比标准的microUSB 连接器(microUSB connector)更酷(way cooler)。
在手表的右侧,您可以看到它的控件,三个按钮。顶部和底部基本上是向上和向下箭头,可用于更改表盘(watch face),而中间按钮用于打开通知和应用程序。这基本上涵盖了所有物理特征,因为右侧完全是空的。
Vector Luna 是一款优雅而干净的智能手表,由非常优质的材料制成。它有更微妙和华丽的变体,因此它可以适合任何人的风格。表壳和钢表链相当沉重,需要(The Vector Luna is an elegant and clean smartwatch, made of very high quality materials. It comes in more subtle and flashy variants, so it can suit anyone's style. The case and the steel bracelet are rather heavy and take) 一些时间来适应,而手表肯定会让它的用户在人群中脱颖而出。(some time to get used to, while the watch is surely something that makes its user stand out from the crowd.)
The Vector Luna smartwatch review - Educated elegance!
Wearable technology is getting more important nowadaуs, as all of our eνeryday objects are getting smart. While we're still far from having helmets with HUDs and the like, the smartwatches have been around for a whіle and are now much more thаn simple toys. Vector Watch, thе company behind the smartwatch we're reviewing, is a relative newcomer to this game, аnd has a different approach tо this type of product thаn most manufacturers. Read оur review to know their Vector Luna watch fares amongst the competition. Iѕ it any good? Іs it worth buying?
Unboxing the smartwatch
When we received the Vector Luna and saw the box it came in, we immediately understood that the designers at Vector have a great understanding of elegance. The Luna comes in a cube-shaped box that has a clean, minimalistic design, with some of the watch's main features printed on it.
As a matter of fact, there is a cardboard wrap that can be removed to reveal the box itself: this is even more elegant and is of premium quality. It is a black box, with an embossed, golden button and the Vector logo printed in gold on it. The box is closed with a magnet, which is a much more interesting and durable solution than the usual cardboard edges.
When opened, the box reveals the watch itself, which is wrapped on a foam holder and placed inside a piece of cardboard: it all looks very elegant, the cardboard even has a silk strap that can be used to easily get it out of the box.
Under the watch there is another, folded cardboard holder that has the watch's USB charger and a warranty slip inside. There are no other accessories included, although that is quite understandable, as there are no accessories available. What kind of accessory could you imagine for a smartwatch, anyway? There is no manual either, but you can download that from the Vector website.
The Vector Luna's packaging is of great quality and elegance. Unboxing the watch is a great experience on its own. You feel that you are handling a watch of high quality that is luxuriously crafted.
Design and quality
The Vector Luna smartwatch is available in a total of nine different color and strap variations. There are six different Lunas that have leather straps (Steel with Black Leather, Rose Gold with Black Croco, Champagne Gold with Black Croco, Steel with Tan Leather, Brushed Black with Brown Leather and Flat Black with Black Silicone) and three with steel bracelets (Steel with Steel, Rose Gold with Rose Gold and Brushed Black with Black Steel). These editions differ only in the color of the watch and the type and color of the strap or bracelet, not the features or the price. You can view a gallery with all of these options, here.
We had the Rose Gold watch with Rose Gold bracelet for testing, and the first thing we had to note about it that it might be a bit too much in terms of a luxurious design. The vivid gold color with a hint of red is very shiny and extravagant. It can be a very good choice if you really want to show off your latest gadget as you will be surely noticed wearing this one. The rest of the designs available for this smartwatch are much more modest, having darker, silverish colors.
The second thing that caught our eyes - and possibly the one that had the biggest impact on us - was that this watch is rather large. The timepiece is circle-shaped and has a diameter of 44mm or 1.73 inches, it is made of stainless steel and has a rose gold finish, while the front is made of mineral glass and it looks quite durable.
Not only its diameter is big, but the case is also quite thick and heavy: combined with the 22mm (0.86 inches) bracelet, the Vector Luna weighs no less than 157 grams or 5.54 ounces. This might not seem that much, but it can be a strain for your wrist at first, and it will surely need some time to get used to.
While wearing it for the first time, we had to take it off after about 3 hours, to let our wrist rest for a while. After a couple of days we got used to its size and weight, but it is still a considerable burden for your hand.
It is also worth noting that, due to its size, you can't really have your shirt's sleeve cover the Luna, unless the shirt has more buttons to adjust it. This is not necessarily a problem, but you should know that you will stand out of the crowd, wherever you go.
Both the case and the bracelet are made of high quality steel that seems to be extremely durable. It is shiny and easy to clean. Also, it's very evident that no cheap materials were used in its m anufacture. The steel bracelet can be adjusted to fit your wrist, but you might want to ask a watchmaker to do it for you, as it's not very easy to remove the links from it. The leather straps come in two sizes, and the Vector Watch website has a handy guide to help you choose the right one for you.
Taking a closer look at the case we can see that it's a clean and simple timepiece with not many features. On the front side there is the Vector logo below the watch face, which can be configured to your liking - but we'll talk about that a bit later. The backside has one important connector, that can be used to charge the watch. This uses a magnetic technology, the charger simply snaps to the watch, which makes it much easier to connect and disconnect it, and of course it's way cooler than a standard microUSB connector.
On the right side of the watch you can see its controls, three buttons. The top and bottom ones are basically up and down arrows, that can be used to change the watch face, while the middle button is used for opening notifications and apps. This basically covers all of the physical features, as the right side is completely empty.
The Vector Luna is an elegant and clean smartwatch, made of very high quality materials. It comes in more subtle and flashy variants, so it can suit anyone's style. The case and the steel bracelet are rather heavy and take some time to get used to, while the watch is surely something that makes its user stand out from the crowd.
