Today, no one is surprised either by a mobile phone with a full set of multimedia functions, or a tablet computer that is not inferior to its stationary counterparts in performance. Moreover, mobile technologies have reached even such a conservative, seemingly, object as a clock. In 2010, the first representative of smart watches (smart watches) appeared, who not only show time, but also have a certain set of additional functions. About what smart watches are for and what they are convenient for, we'll talk today.
What is a smart watch?
So, what is a smart watch? This wristwatch gadget is in the form of a clock: a small square or round case and a hand strap. The minimal functionality of smart watches includes bluetooth synchronization with a smartphone, a vibrating signal, as well as an accelerometer that allows you to track the motor activity of the owner. Otherwise, the possibilities of this device are limited only by the flight of the imagination of the developer: viewing e-mail messages, simple games, organizer, etc.
What is a smart watch for?
Now let's see if the game is worth the candle and does it make sense to purchase a fairly expensive smart watch? The answer will certainly be positive if you can not imagine your life without physical activity: walk a lot, run or go swimming. In this case, the programs of monitoring various types of activity installed in the smart watch case will help to make your classes as effective as possible, and the waterproof case will not allow them to leave in any weather and in any situation. They will also be useful to those who by the nature of their activities can not permanently fall out of the network: the clock will give a signal when a smartphone receives another message or a call comes in. In addition, the clock can also be used as an advisor - the answer to a short voice request will be displayed.
Smart Clock Selection
Today, the market of smart watches is represented by a fairly wide range of models from various manufacturers. How not to get confused and buy exactly what you need?
Step 1 - Determined with the appointment
Going in search of smart hours, for a start it would be nice to answer the question, but why do you actually need them? If the main motivating factor is simple curiosity, then it makes sense to purchase the most inexpensive model (or Chinese copy of the famous brand). Functionally, such watches will not differ much from the products of the eminent brand, but they will significantly benefit by price. If the smart watch is planned to be used as a fitness bracelet or you need a hand transmitter of notifications, then go to the next step.
Step 2 - we meet by clothes
Strange as it may seem, the main factor when choosing a smart watch is not their inner world. By and large, all the technical parameters like the performance and memory capacity of all smart watches differ little from each other, perfectly coping with the functions assigned to them. But the overall dimensions, the material of the case and the screen can completely poison all the pleasure from the expensive purchase. Therefore, before buying a watch, you should definitely try on your hand and try to assess how comfortable it is with them. Separately, it is worth taking a closer look at the strap - how well it is fixed and looks reliable, and how much will it cost to purchase a new one.
Step 3 - Do not chase after the novelty
Experience shows that smart clocks become obsolete much slower than phones and tablets. Therefore, with a clear conscience, you can buy an earlier model, if you liked it visually - functionally it will be no worse than the latest development.
