This time, I tried a silver bezel product with a metal band called EQB-800D-1A.
メタルバンドでシルバーベゼルのEQB-800D-1A左側面のボタンは、上側（画面左のボタン）がモード切替ボタン、下側（画面右のボタン）がBluetoothを開始するボタン右側面のボタンはストップウォッチモードで使うもの。上側（画面右のボタン）がストップウォッチの開始と停止。下側（画面左のボタン）がスプリットタイム用のボタンで、長押しでリセット保存用の外箱。この箱に入れた場合など、暗所では針が自動で停止して節電状態になり、無駄なバッテリー消費を避けることができるThe biggest feature of the EQB-800 series is that it can change and use various settings from smartphones by connecting the smartphone with the smartphone installed with the compatible application while adopting the design of the analog watch.The app is iOS (iPhone) and Android version, which can be downloaded from each app store.The connection with the smartphone uses a mechanism called Bluetooth Le (Low Energy).To use this Bluetooth LE, the Bluetooth function of the smartphone is Bluetooth 4.It is necessary to support it after 0.
Bluetoothのマークがついているボタンを押すと通信が開始されるスマホ用アプリケーションIn addition, if you connect to your smartphone with Bluetooth, you may feel uneasy about the battery life.In fact, in the case of products called "smart watches" such as Apple Watch and Android Wear, the battery has only a day.These products are always connected to smartphones with Bluetooth, and they also have a built -in operator in the wristwatch, consuming power.
On the other hand, in this product, in addition to the automatic time correction four times a day, the communication will be minimized because the communication will not be performed unless the user presses the button to the Bluetooth connection mode.In addition, charging uses a solar panel on the lower surface of the dial, so it is naturally charged if used normally.I don't want to run out of batteries in one day like a smartwatch, so don't worry.In addition, the current charging amount can be confirmed with the charging gauge provided on the dial, so if it is not enough, it is better to charge it on the light.
In addition, if you continue to wake up in a dark place where light does not hit, such as the attached case, the watch automatically recognizes the situation and stop the second hand first.Furthermore, if the state continues for several days, the movement of the needle other than the date stops, and most functions such as Bluetooth and alarms are stopped.If you put out a watch from the case, it will move as if it were the original, so if you don't need it, it's a good idea to keep it in a case.
