Even though smart watches have
been around for some time, people are still unaware of the ideology and
technology involved in the same. Generally speaking a smart watch can be
defined as a multi-purpose device which is much more than just a watch used to
keep time. Even though it is worn around the wrist like any other wrist watch,
what makes it unique is its ability to run computing applications. This enables
the wearer to have easy access to his emails, weather reports, sports news,
calculator, compass, thermometer etc.
Generally smart watches in India are slowly gaining momentum. This is because
of its ability to provide messages and alerts which can be easily read and
then, if required, pursued further with the help of the smart phones. These watches are specially designed to
integrate and network with other personal devices either with the help of
Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. In fact the utility of the android watch or the Apple watch also lies in the fact that it
helps to conserve the battery life of the respective phones they are connected
to by reducing the need for the smartphones displays to be switched on for
longer periods of time.
Some other things which make it
a good buy are:
·
Notifications: Notifications and alerts are
easy to see when they are sent to a smart watch since they are easy to see.
This makes it easy to check out important messages further and discard the unnecessary
ones.
·
Receive and decline calls: Some smart watches also enable
the wearer to accept and decline calls while at the same time facilitate the
activation of the speaker and microphone of the smartphone present with the
wearer, provided the headphones are plugged in. In fact the ability to answer
and also carry on a conversation directly from the phone is also present in
some of the best android smartwatch present
in the market today.
·
Customisation: Most smart watches come with
the ability to customise its watch face. This makes it look like the wearer is
using different watches every day. This ability also enables the user to
customise the watch face to sync in with the clothes he is wearing, thus making
a fashion statement.
·
Fitness: This device is the best fitness tracker currently available
today. It is not only capable of counting steps while walking but is also
compatible with a number of fitness applications that are present on the
internet.
·
Navigation: It is easier to follow
navigation instructions on the smart watch than it is to follow them on smart
phones. Thus GPS directions for going to a particular place can be simply sent
to the smart watch which can then convey the same to the wearer using speakers.
These digitised watches have
come a long way from the time they were initially launched. Today they are much
more powerful as a device, last longer and are even better looking than before.
Also the fact that it can also be used as a fitness band is one of the most popular reasons why people opt for
a smartwatch.
