Have you ever used a smartwatch like the HUAWEI WATCH GT 2e?
Kan Sano:I don't wear a watch much anymore since I've been doing more live performances. I don't wear anything on my hands, but since the voluntary retirement from the outside world started, I sometimes go outside to kick a ball and move my body. I thought it would be nice to wear this watch at those times.
HUAWEI WATCH GT 2e is equipped with HUAWEI TruSeen™, which efficiently monitors heart rate in real time.
Kan Sano:I also want to make exercise a part of my daily routine, so I thought it would be helpful and motivating to record something like, "This is how much exercise I did today.
Kan Sano, did you go to the gym or go for a run before you decided not to go out?
Kan Sano:I don't go to the gym, but now I realize that I have been keeping myself healthy by performing live. Not being able to perform live is a tough situation in terms of health management.
HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 also features HUAWEI TruSleep™ 2.0, which monitors sleep and suggests better rest, and HUAWEI TruRelax™, which visualizes stress levels.
Kan Sano:Do you mean to record the hours of sleep?
The system records not only the time, but also the quality of sleep and gives a score out of 100.
Kan Sano:That's good! Since I entered my 30s, when I am tired from lack of sleep or when my body is overstrained, I get headaches. I would be glad if I could catch some signals before headaches appear by measuring my stress level and heart rate on a regular basis.
They also convey various messages, such as "10:00 to 2:00 p.m. is the golden hour, so try to go to bed before that time," or "Drinking too much water before bed can cause shallow sleep.
Kan Sano:I generally go to bed after 2 am. So I'm sure I'll get a lot of crap if I use this feature (laughs).
The numerous on-board features enhance the quality of the live performance.
HUAWEI WATCH GT 2e has an innovative battery feature that lasts up to two weeks on a charge. It allows you to visualize your health status, from stress levels to sleep quality, 24 hours a day, even when you are on tour, without worrying about the hassle of recharging.
Kan Sano:Two weeks is great. Also, I thought it might be interesting to measure heart rate and stress levels during the show.
Do you see a future in which such physical data is fed back into artworks?
Kan Sano:I feel that live performances are similar to sports, so rather than creating something creative, I think it could be used in an interesting way on the field. It would be great if all the members could wear them together and do something together. This device has various functions other than health management, doesn't it?
In sports, it can determine the effectiveness of your workout and make suggestions on how to make it more effective the next time you do it. On the lifestyle side, you can remotely release the shutter on your phone (requires EMUI 10.1 or higher), and it will tell you where your phone is when you can't find it.
Kan Sano:Yes, it is true that it is very easy to lose track of where you put your phone at home. That's convenient!
Today, we also had a chance to try the HUAWEI FreeBuds 3i wireless earbuds with noise-canceling functionality.
Kan Sano:I usually wear headphones for work, but this was a good fit.
The HUAWEI FreeBuds 3i is now canal-type instead of open-fitting, and the noise cancellation is more effective.
Kan Sano:The sound has a rounded sound with a good mid-low range. Not harsh, but gentle. The noise canceling function is indeed amazing.
Recently, I have been forced to turn up the volume of my earphones on the train because of the open windows due to the corona. However, with the noise canceling function, you can cut through the noise and enjoy music more comfortably.
Kan Sano:I really don't hear any noise. (I didn't hear any noise at all, not even the sound of (reporters) talking.
HUAWEI WATCH GT 2e was paired with the HUAWEI P40 Pro 5G smartphone, which was also used to shoot the performance scene. Why did you choose "My Girl"?
Kan Sano:Since it is one of my representative songs at the moment, I played it as my business card.
So, finally, here is the special version of "My Girl" that was played just for HOUYHNHNM's readers!
