Stunning looks
The body-worn electronic device, though
worn on eyes like Google Glass or on wrist like iWatch will have no small
impacts to the appearance of the wearer, so the design is very important. After
all, if their design make users hesitate when wearing these product and go
outside, all advanced techs that were integrated inside will be meaningless. With
the recent news, it seems that Google has already been aware of this thing and
work its butt off on the design of Glass. How about iWatch? Don’t worry,
Jonathan Ive and his team are still working at Apple.
Imagining
the eye of everyone when you wear this to go out…
Anti-sweating
Today, on many types if watch, whether
mechanical or electronic, water resistance is not a kind of new thing. The
problem is that with the apps it can offer, almost surely, the smartwatch model
will be worn by users every time, everywhere, even when they’re entertaining or
exercising. And once it’s integrated with the heath-monitoring feature that
helps users keep track of their health condition when exercising or streaming
music when playing sport, there’s no reason to justify for a smartwatch not
having the ability to confront the bad effects from our sweat.
Many
of us like listening to music while doing exercise.
Pricing
In fact, in this stage, it will be
reasonless when expecting smartwatch to be able to replace the role of
smartphone, or goes with the enormous configuration parameters, ultrafast
processor and super sharp screen. Thus, many people expect smartwatch will have
a friendlier price for the customer’s budget, at least at the early stage.
Start from the opening price of Martian Passport which is $299 and the $149
from Pebble at CES recently, the BTV CNET believes that the price range of
about $200-$300 will be suitable for the next smartwatch generation to be easy
to penetrate the users’ life. But no matter what happens, no one forbids us to
enjoy the huge surprise in both tech and… price that the brands like Apple can
offer.
Whether
more or less, hundreds of bucks we have to spend will have a part for the
feature, not merely serve the “jewelry” demand.
Simplicity
Nowadays, products such as Pebble
Smartwatch (appear at CES), Martian Passport or even iPod Nano Nike still
requires dome efforts to install and habituate. It seems that making users easy
to approach and get familiar to a new generation of devices like the way iPhone
has done previously is a job full of obstacles and difficulties, especially to
the tiny screen of the watch. Regardless of such things, if the thing put on
your wrist requires lengthy, complicated manipulations, users will have to
choice but to get the smartphone out of their pocket. This is a problem that
the firm must have solved if they want the smartwatch to be well received by
the public.
Time
Yes, have you ever seen any list belonged
to that type without the appearance of “it”? Battery – it’s the mean of support
of the electronic mobile devices, the sinner of tech world, the retarded child
of the researchers. Regardless of the processes of storage, processing and
transmission techs… and the winged words from the project that “can increase the
battery life up to 10 time” appear every few months, and until now we haven’t
witnessed an actual leap for this energy storage tech. does that have anything
to do with Smartwatch? A lot.
We can only take the phone out a few times
during the day to answer calls, look up and update the news. But if all the
aforementioned things come true on smartwatch, especially the function about
music-listening, health-monitoring, notification-informing and navigating,
these on-wrist computers will have to work more than the mobile device of the
previous generation, despite with milder frequency, maybe.
Users can accept charging their phones, mp3
player for several hours, or even taking Google Glass of when resting, and
that’s not something difficult. But is there anyone that wants to sit there and
charge their clock every day? This issue will become extremely serious when the
tasks on the smartwatch have become their habit. At least, the firms will have
to manage so that the next smartwatch generation can be able to stand for a
week under the pressure of users’ regular need, if they can’t, no matter how
advanced the features are- it will be difficult to get the approval of numerous
users.
In the current situation when we can’t
expect much on a big revolution in the energy-stored field for the portable
devices, all burdens for increasing the use time will be put on the software
and microprocessor designing units to optimize the performance of the energy
efficiency of these components. Of course, with the devices which are worn
outside as much as smartwatch, the recharging techs from wireless power source
or from the sun will also be solutions that is worth waiting for, but how
efficient they are, only time can give the answer for that.
