Is a smart watch useful?

Functional use of smart watches
Purpose 1: Check the weather, time, alarm clock, stopwatch and other daily needs.

Compared with traditional watches, in addition to viewing the basic functions such as date, clock, timing, etc., smart watches can also view weather forecasts and report information about daily life such as the air quality index of the day. In addition, alarm clocks and stopwatches are standard. Of course, smart watches also available, and all of this can be viewed at a glance by raising your wrist.

Purpose 2: Instant Call

Connecting your mobile phone over the network is an important function of expanding smart watches. At present, there are roughly two types of smart watches on the market. One is without call function: it relies on the connection to a smartphone to achieve multi-functionality, which can synchronously operate the phone calls, text messages, emails, photos, music, etc. in the mobile phone. For example, after connecting to iPhone, App Watch also provides viewing and reply, Siri and other functions; the other function is more powerful, with call functions: it supports the insertion of SIM cards, which is essentially watch-shaped smartphones; Android systems are mostly used on the market.

Purpose 3: Remote control photography

With the continuous progress of technology, the photo-taking function of smartphones has become more and more powerful, but in addition to the upgrading of software and hardware, there is no more innovative and interesting photo-taking experience. After connecting the mobile phone, the round smartwatch can freely place the position of the mobile phone and take photos from various angles. In the past, it suffered from limited observation angles and missed beautiful scenery. Now there will never be such a regret. There is no need to take a selfie stick to go out. Smart watch can help you achieve it.

Use 4: Take care of health, exercise testing

The smart watch with built-in motion monitoring and sleep management functions can record the user’s day’s movement data. With the help of the watch’s processing chip, it accurately analyzes fat burning and health indicators to provide a data reference for fitness people. It helps to get rid of sub-health. Some targeted sports smart watches also monitor the condition of the moving environment, such as altitude, direction, etc., which can help the movement better grasp the current environment.

Other predictive uses of smart watches

With the development of science and technology, the use functions of smart watches are also increasing. Looking ahead, more people also predict and expect some of the functions of smart watches.

1. Payment function

The mobile payment revolution has gradually become popular with the emergence of smartphone payments, but it seems more logical for smart watches to act as this payment tool on our wrists than smartphones. In addition, Google Wallet and CurrentC will also join the mobile payment war.

2. Control the home

As long as you have Nest thermostat installed at home, you can use Pebble or Android Wear to control the home water heater. You can even use a smart watch to start some vehicles. The smart home market is another area with great potential, but it has not yet been fully explored. Technology companies hope to develop smart watches equipped with trump card applications. In the end, we will soon be able to use smart watches to control microwave ovens, turn off lights, monitor home security cameras, adjust indoor temperature and music settings, etc. Now the response is the “Works with Nest” system launched by Google’s Nest, which can use Nest instructions to control other similar devices.

3. Video chat

Watch video chat. In fact, when Apple launched the WatchKit developer tool for developers, a company called Glide began to develop such an application. And the company has implemented this function on Android Wear smartwatches. It’s only a matter of time before this app can be launched on Apple’s smart watch.

The expansion of the use of smart watches represents the progress of the times. More uses need to be proposed and discovered by smart people to open up new vision for technology and life.
