Too little is known about the Apple smart watch, and we, in fact, do not even know whether they actually exist. However, judging by the leaks, rumors and other speculation on their theme reaches its climax, we can confidently suggest that the fall of Tim Cook will take the stage and once again present a product that can change the world and familiar us things.
We've been waiting for iWatch, too long. Now Apple is not alone in this field, from the Google and Samsung, to the Pebble and CooKoo, there are many manufacturers who have ambitions in wearable electronics segment. If Apple is going to do the right thing that could not be another - it will have to learn many important lessons. There are several things that need to be iWatch. A total of seven.
They should be the clock
Oddly enough, especially iWatch should show time. It is important. It is for this reason Pebble Steel, despite lagging far behind functionality, are considered at the moment the best smart watches in the market. If Apple is going to create a gadget that will be interesting not only for geeks and fans Casio calculator, it should be noted that smart watches in the first place should be the clock.
This does not necessarily mean that they must be similar to the regular hours (although this is my personal opinion). Mostly it means that we just need to quickly and easily identify them time. They should function normally outdoors and not be afraid of splashing water. People go crazy for Moto 360, simply because it is a beautiful clock, even without a unique program filling. From Apple, no doubt, there is no competition in design, but if this puknt will be met from the very beginning - from the time when will the iWatch, wearable others simply do not stand a chance.
They should be more personality
The lack of ability to create your own themes dials in Android Wear developers rasstraivaiet me more and more. Apple must understand that any clock, consisting for the most part, only one display - must have great customization. If users can not vybrirat for iWatch your own skins or download them from the App Store - they are doomed to failure.
Personalization does not stop at the shell program, Apple will need to meet the standards and offer different types of straps and bracelets, which can be easily replaced. You can also go ahead and release the iWatch in different sizes. Ordinary hours there are plenty of different options: large, small, round, square, analog, digital, with a leather strap or metal bracelet. This is a very personal device, created with an eye on fashion trends, and Apple should consider them in that light. I put up with the fact that my phone looks just like millions of others, but the clock - is quite another matter.
They should be a small part of one big puzzle
Apple has always been able to create products that work perfectly on their own, but are disclosed in the fully only in conjunction with other devices, providing users with even more functionality and convenience. iWatch should be a prime example.
No, Apple did not need to add in the iWatch to interact with your smartphone on Android or Windows PC. In fact, you need to create a powerful, self-contained device, which will be even more useful when connected to other Apple-devices.
iWatch has a key role in the effective fitness ecosystem using HealthKit platform to integrate all the data, such as heart rate, pace, and others. iWatch will also be the center control your smart home, with the help of which you can turn on lights or change the temperature without even pulling from his pocket a smartphone. It is even possible that the connection will occur directly, bypassing the smartphone. With the iWatch you should easily be managed to play music and your Apple TV; Extras and unlock your laptop. At the same time, the implementation of all these things should not turn the user interface into a nightmare.
They must be the killer-feature and multiple applications
iWatch would not be the same for all people. In their medical options for their use, travelers or gamers their own, and they will all be different. For example, personally I need an easy way to receive notifications and interact with them, fast tool for finding and notes Chekina easy way to send tweets and Foursquare. This iPhone popularity came only with the opening of App Store, it's necessary and iWatch, which must be versatile and powerful device.
But above all, need iWatch "raison d'être", ie pervostennoe value, which is their main sense. For the fitness-consumers, this may be health monitoring, counting steps, tracking phases of sleep. In this sense can be the ability to pay, smart home control or notification. iWatch need a revolutionary story that will explain to us why the world is in desperate need of smart watches and Apple should tell it to us. This is what should understand Apple's, because other manufacturers still have no idea how to sell us their gadgets, to convince us that we need them.
They should facilitate the use of the usual things
Siri, though slowly, but it is growing, and now it is a very useful tool: it is results Games for me, he knows where the release of a movie and always correctly puts alarm clock. I can rely on it when you open the application, making calls or turn on Airplane Mode. This is all very nice and considering iOS 8, with its search for relevant information in the Spotlight, iWatch was a great search tool.
In Android Wear have Google Now, which is well aware of the fact that I need to see at the moment and shows me exactly that. Siri does not offer some of that functionality, if the situation changes, it will be exactly so that iWatch can be successful.
Smart watches need to provide us with a quick and simple interaction with email and other data - you need not constantly keep an eye on the clock, if there is no notification to you. Moreover, when you look at the clock - they do not tell you "look at your smartphone."
They should have a good autonomy
There is only one characteristic that can hack to death at the root of the success of the iWatch (yes or any other wearable) - is the battery life. Device operating on one charge a day or so, runs the risk of being forgotten once in the morning on the bedside table and stay there forever.
To make a successful iWatch, Apple has to turn them into something with which you just can not give up - in your constant companion and familiar. This can not be achieved if the smartwatch discharged within a day or if you forget to remove them from the charge in the morning. iWatch not require weeks or months of autonomy, but if they can not stretch a few days without pozaryadki - many users did not hesitate to part with such a device.
iWatch most of the time do not have to do anything
They have quietly hang on your wrist, drawing your attention only in cases when it is necessary. And it's not supposed to be notified of each message, tweet, or email. iWatch must-have tool for flexible configuration, allowing each to set up their "by itself", so they showed us exactly what is needed at a particular moment.
First and foremost, they have to be beautiful and show the time, all the other functions must be present, creating at the same time the impression that they are secondary.
Create really cool smartwatch - a difficult task and it is for this reason that their release has not yet taken place. Create something that people will be worn on the wrist svom, requires a balance of design and functionality, power and simplicity, innovation and classic. And to achieve this balance in this kind of product is much more difficult than in any other.
iWatch will first attempt to Apple and they will not be perfect. But if Apple will be able to make major steps in the right direction, will begin to address the key issues and answer the question "why do we need smart watch" - success iWatch can be truly incredible. Using these seven things right, Apple will be able to prove that she has the innovation that can change the world. And they are already there.
