When it comes to SF Express, most people immediately think of “express delivery.”
Starting in Shenzhen in 1993, and now becoming a comprehensive logistics group covering over 200 countries and regions worldwide, SF Express is no longer just a delivery company, but a vast logistics technology system.
With technologies such as drones, automated warehousing, intelligent sorting, and IoT terminals…
These technologies are all part of SF’s long-term strategy of “technology-driven logistics.”
Of course, today’s focus is not to praise SF, but rather on an item related to SF that has gained some attention on the second-hand market.
In simple terms, a large number of SF smartwatches have quietly entered the second-hand market, priced at just over 200 yuan, and they can navigate and connect to the internet, appearing to be more functional than some smartwatches..
What exactly is this device? Why has it suddenly appeared in large quantities on second-hand platforms? Is it worth purchasing for the average person?
First: The “SF Watch” is not a watch for you.
Although it looks like a smartwatch, its true identity is: a wearable mobile terminal used by SF’s internal couriers.
SF has invested significantly in smart devices, which is well known; many people have joked about the early SF drones being requisitioned by the state.
During its rapid growth, SF has developed PDAs, barcode scanners, smart headsets, and wearable devices to improve delivery efficiency.
This watch, named “SF Wear,” was born in this context and was first publicly showcased at the Shenzhen International Logistics Exhibition in 2020.
It is not an electronic product sold to consumers, but a “work device.”
After wearing it, couriers can complete information entry, route planning, and task processing in just a few seconds, making it an important part of SF’s internal digital system.
Therefore, its appearance on second-hand platforms is essentially due to the centralized resale of internal devices after upgrades, with costs already amortized, resulting in a naturally low price.
Second: What can the “SF Smartwatch” actually do?
Of course, while it is mentioned as a work device, its functionality far exceeds what many might imagine.
1. Scanning → System Automatically Assigns Tasks
The watch comes with a built-in scanning module, which, after scanning, can synchronize with the SF system and automatically trigger collection and delivery tasks. This “raise your hand to input” method is more efficient than the previous PDAs or manual input.
For ordinary users, this feature may not be very useful, but it indicates that its performance and sensitivity are at an “industry-level” rather than a typical consumer level.
2. Supports Navigation and Route Planning
The built-in map in SF is not an ordinary commercial map, but a logistics path planning system optimized for “delivery routes.”
Although ordinary users may not need a delivery network, the recognition of railways, roads, and buildings is still very accurate.
Thus, it can be quite handy for motorcycle or small vehicle navigation.
3. Supports 4G Network + Wi-Fi
This means it can not only connect to the internet to view maps but also run some lightweight web applications. Although it is not a full version of the Android ecosystem, the basic functions are sufficient.
4. Supports Bluetooth Headsets + Voice Interaction
Couriers often need to make calls or input voice while delivering, and SF Wear supports voice control, voice calls, and can connect to Bluetooth headsets, freeing up their hands.
If you are just using it for navigation, this means: the watch can act as a “hands-free voice assistant,” without needing to constantly look at the screen.
Third: Why would anyone be interested in this watch?
The reason is simple:
1. Affordable Price (around 200 yuan)
Compared to smartwatches that often cost thousands, this “industry-level device” is priced at just over 200, naturally attracting attention.
2. GPS + 4G + Navigation
Traditional smartwatches mostly rely on smartphones for navigation; whereas SF Wear can connect to the internet and locate independently.
For riders, delivery personnel, and business people on the go, this is equivalent to having a portable navigation device.
3. Strong Battery Life
As a work device, it is expected to have better battery life and stability than ordinary consumer watches.
4. Durable and Reliable
Industry terminals are often much more durable than consumer electronics, resistant to drops and with good waterproof capabilities.
For users who prioritize “practicality over aesthetics,” it may even meet their needs better than ordinary smartwatches.
Fourth: Is it worth it for the average person to buy?
Ultimately, whether to buy depends on your needs.
After all, it is essentially a “professional tool for the logistics industry”, but in the hands of an average person, it can also become a “simple navigation watch,” though it is not an all-purpose smart device.
So, if you are just curious and want to spend a little over 200 to experience a novel device, it’s not a big deal.
If you need powerful fitness features and an app ecosystem, then this watch may not be suitable for you.
