Features of smartwatch

If the mobile phone is connected to a charger, you can still browse your daily essentials and check your mail from the smartwatches. Being close to the user has greatly increased the useability of smartwatches.

• Better software support – With the latest smartwatches users need not install an app from the play store or apple store to the mobile, they can directly install it on their smartwatch, thus reducing the burden of carrying a cord for the smartwatch. 

• More interest in developers – Many smartwatch companies are looking for developers to make their smartwatches better. This has created more job opportunities for the people.

Challenges for Smartwatches

• Low power output – One of the main setbacks of smartwatches is the low power output, with many features the power consumption also increases, thus the latest smartwatches can only work up to 2 – 4 days with a single charge. Since the watch size is small the developers can’t include a big battery with the watch.

• Low adoption rates – Even though the smartwatch market is booming very fast the major adoption is yet to happen. None of the enterprises have adopted smartwatches as they have adopted smartphones. As for now, the smartwatch is just used by individuals and once the enterprises start taking in the watches, the market will reach an all-time high.

Uses of a Smartwatch

• Notifications – With a smartwatch, you can check all the notifications that are on your mobile phone without having to touch it. There are different ways in which the smartwatch alerts the users, many times it sends a small vibration, or sometimes there is a notification sound, this can be customized by the user.
