Devices / / December 19, 2019
Entering the era of wearable electronics, we have not realized that these gadgets have to make our lives easier, but do not complicate it. Do not believe me, we'll prove it!
We - a generation addicted to electronics people. Do not think that is an insult, I did so. More recently, the films "Terminator" and "Matrix" frightened us uprising computers, and now we are trying to give short weight yourself down to devaysa head and to pass on to them all the work. And we do it for a reason. After all, modern gadgets really make our lives easier. Do you remember the soap dish that had to drag along on the trip? A CD-player and books that occupy almost half of the backpack?
Of course, one can argue on that paper book - it is a different feeling, and we even have a the material on this topic. But the fact remains: electronic gadgets greatly facilitated our lives. It all started with smartphones, tablets followed them, and now we have entered a new era. The era of wearable electronics. These include watches,
bracelets, Glasses and other, less popular devices. In this article we would like to stay on the smart watch and reflect on, and whether they need now?dignity
Let's first understand what features can perform smart watch.
- Show new notifications. Thus, you do not need to constantly get your phone to see what you come. Just look at his watch and decide the importance of this message or not.
- Physical activity trackers. Many smart clock can keep track of your physical activity by measuring heart rate, number of steps, running speed, and so on.
- Time. And tell them thank you for it!
- Other. These include voice control (until a usable too), camera, weather, calendar events, and other fine features.
With the functionality figured out. Each of these feature modern smart watches perform well enough complaints about it not cause.
disadvantages
Let us think what cons are present in these gadgets and think whether their advantages with their disadvantages compared.
- Appearance. Almost all smart watches look awful. Take a look at the recently released Samsung Galaxy Gear or Sony Smartwatch, and once you understand that these creations hang on his hand did not want to. Of course, this is subjective, but the design and size of the watch exactly in need of modernization.
- Working hours. We are accustomed to the fact that the smartphone has to be charged every day. But to charge the clock every day? No thanks. While battery life does not increase at least 2-4 weeks, talk about convenience of hours early.
- Uselessness. Given the fact that now almost everyone has a smartphone in your pocket, utility smart-hours is reduced to a minimum. Lend a hand to the pocket and look at the time of the notification or does not take much, but it will save you $ 100-300, but this is exactly the average cost of smart watches in the market.
Why do not buy smart watch
Manufacturers have just begun to create a smart watch, and people who buy them now - a kind of testers, which are trying different designs, chips, and other functions. If you're a geek and have long dreamed of something like this, then go ahead and buy. Even the choice of wearable high and the most popular model, you can see here.
But if you are still in thought, here are two reasons why you should not buy this watch. Firstly, if you have been done without them, you can do further. Moreover, they can become a burden to you, and more than an inconvenience. Secondly, the expected trends. IT-giants such as Google and Apple's, still has not showed its products in this area, but it will definitely show in the near future. And that many of them are waiting for innovation and revolution of the industry wearable electronics. Therefore, does it make sense to spend money on a smartwatch, knowing that in a year will be released on the order of gadgets, and even a few orders of magnitude steeper?
On the example of Pebble hours, I want to show how to change the design of the watch is less than a year. Left obsolete model Pebble Watch, and the right Pebble Steel - watch, which showed at the recent CES exhibition. This suggests that the industry is smart watch is in flux. Remember, the difference between the design of any modern leader from its last year's model? Virtually nothing.
And finally, the concept of the Hungarian designer Gábor BaloghThat showed his vision of smart watches. Here's what to expect from Apple and Google. Let us hope and believe that they will show something like this. Compare this concept with what we have on the market and you will realize that to wait really worth it :)
Why does your watch need to be the second phone in the hand? Why glasses should be the second computer on your head? I repeat the first law of gadgets (in fact this does not exist): any gadget should simplify your life. What do you think, observe whether the smart watch that law?
