If you want to ask what features on the Apple Watch are high, sleep tracking will definitely rank in the top three. Seeing that Apple Watch has come out of the second generation Series 2, the system watchOS to the third generation, and even watchOS 4 may be close at hand, this has long been a new gadget has not seen the movement. So what is Apple thinking about?
As the pace of modern life continues to accelerate and the pressure on life continues to increase, things that can be done in a day are getting more and more. Sleep time is either due to external reasons or because of their own responsibilities. In short, it is gradually being compressed. Therefore, the quality of sleep has received unprecedented attention. Good sleep can guarantee the mental state of the next day, and it is related to your physical and mental health.
Under the mentality of people, taking advantage of smart devices has become a gust of daily necessities, and the concept of sleep tracking has been heated up, and then it has received considerable attention.
The concept of sleep tracking is actually very simple. It analyzes and judges people's sleep quality by monitoring the dynamics of the user's sleep in real time. When people wake up, they can use the sleep tracking device or application to get feedback on the results of sleep quality at that time, and find solutions to their own sleep problems.
The concept is simple and the principle is not complicated. In general, such devices or software use sensors such as accelerometers to track whether a user has entered a stationary state to determine whether they are asleep. In the following time, it will recognize and record people's sleep state by turning over and other sleep habits, and more accurate analysis with the feedback after the user wakes up. It is also important to note that such services can generally wake you up when you are asleep for the rest of your life, which will make it easier to get up and be more spiritual.
From the past analysis and testing, Apple Watch has quite good body data monitoring accuracy. Scientists at the Cardiovascular Institute at the Cleveland Clinic Center last year tested several popular wearable devices on the market and concluded that the Apple Watch is the most accurate. Apple Watch has always had a very good reputation in this regard, so people hope to enjoy the "authentic" Apple official support in these health-related functions.
It is a pity that Apple has not yet launched the official native Apple Watch sleep tracking function. We can only use some third-party applications and services. Considering that the sleep tracking experience on the market is mixed, but such features are highly valued, people still want to see Apple, which has always emphasized the health features of Apple Watch, to start bringing native sleep tracking.
However, as far as the Apple Watch is concerned, it seems that it has to face difficult problems to achieve this sleep tracking.
Apple Watch puzzle
Why doesn't Apple let Apple Watch natively bring its own sleep tracking function? Some people may replied that Apple's focus is to create an excellent platform that focuses on the seamless integration of hardware and software. Its energy is placed here, and the trivial functions are done by third parties. After all, the WatchOS platform already has applications such as AutoSleep and Sleep++.
This interpretation should be used to explain Apple's "slowness" in other aspects, but it does not necessarily apply to Apple Watch and Sleep Tracking. Apple Watch is no longer the fashion device we originally thought, but a wearable "commodity" with its own platform, but the main fitness and health (at least Apple's goal is this). Sleep tracking is a technology that can really affect people's health. It's hard to imagine that Apple will not take the initiative. After all, even a deep breath every day has such a native function.
Then the problem that Apple Watch has to face is generally considered to be on the battery life. As we all know, the Apple Watch is a small and lightweight device, and the battery power is of course far less than that of a smartphone. It also needs to be equipped with a full-featured, complete intelligent platform, so the power consumption will be considerable for the watch battery. Although Apple did a lot of efforts in optimization, it also used a relatively low-energy OLED screen, but the official 18-hour battery life of the first generation Apple Watch was still a slot during that time. .
Suppose a person gets up at 8 in the morning and wears a watch for a day. At least 30 minutes is spent on exercise and 11 am when they are ready to fall asleep. In general, the remaining power of the Apple Watch Series 2 will be around 50%, and the first generation will be much lower.
If there is not much chance to charge the watch on this day, then this time will be very embarrassing. If you want to achieve sleep tracking, you have to make sure you wear it all night, which means there is no way to charge, and the remaining power will not go through the next day. Even if it has been charged once in a day, the ability to keep track of sleep tracking means speeding up battery consumption throughout the night.
There are many devices on the market that can perform sleep tracking, and this feature is almost standard. In the more popular products in China, sleep tracking like the Xiaomi bracelet is a more common function. However, it should be noted that there are few smart watches in the market with a full platform such as Apple, and more are wrist-type wearable devices with relatively simple functions and weak independence. Such devices have a lot of battery life for many months longer than the Apple Watch, and they naturally have little pressure to implement such a function.
Can Apple solve the problem?
In fact, sleep tracking is a new feature of a third-generation Apple Watch that is quite high, so Apple can't completely ignore it. But as mentioned above, everything has to wait for the end of the life problem to be solved.
A while ago, there are rumors that the third-generation Apple Watch has not made much progress, and it has only improved its battery life. However, some insiders pointed out that if Apple can use the increased battery life to achieve more functions such as sleep tracking, then its significance is much greater than the simple endurance upgrade.
Sources in September last year said that Apple is already developing an official application for sleep tracking. It is a pity that the details we can understand only stop there. In addition, the so-called theater mode that sparked a hot debate a while ago also brought the possibility of adding sleep tracking to Apple Watch. In the theater mode, the screen of the Apple Watch does not automatically light up. Although this may not be related to the energy consumption problem during sleep tracking, this mode can prevent the user from accidentally lighting the screen during sleep and affecting the quality of sleep.
Sleep tracking is a concern for people, so we don't have to worry about Apple not paying attention. The existing Apple Watch is really not suitable for this feature, we can only wait for the emergence of subsequent models. Having said that, if you are very eager to sleep tracking, then when it really comes, it means you have to change machines.
The high-current slip ring is specially developed for high-power equipment. It can choose 50A, 100A, 250A, 500A, 1500A, 3000A and other specifications. It can also combine current and signal, which is easy to install, light weight and large current load. It is very suitable for welding, electroplating and other industries.
