The long-awaited Apple Watch Apple Watch was officially unveiled last week, and in the future it is believed that Apple Watch will undoubtedly become a new leader in wearable devices. However, for the entire smart watch industry, whether it is Apple or Google, it is still in a very early stage, and for ordinary consumers, it is still necessary to wait another year to start the smart watch. opportunity. Every product has a mature process, like a smart phone, which has been popular for more than a decade. Most of today's smart watches look like semi-finished products, and perhaps you should wait and see instead of buying them. Here are five reasons why we don't think we should buy a smart watch for the time being:
1, the price is too high
Apple's Apple Watch, which costs $350 (about RMB 2,150), is not cheap. Although Apple's products have always been worth the money, you can still hollow out your wallet as a smart watch. When all our money is used to buy Apple Watch, there is no penny, how to use Apple Watch to pay?
The Android Wear system's smart watches are not cheap, but most of the devices are priced at around $250 (about RMB 1,535), and most of the consumers who buy them are impulsive. If you consider the price and the actual use, most smart watches are currently an unreasonable choice. Before the first generation of digital products formed a stable market, the price was often high, and the immature use experience almost made you regret your choice.
Over time, the price of smart watches will continue to drop. Regardless of any technology or product, OEMs can purchase raw materials and components at a cheaper price, and with competitive factors, prices will definitely move toward a downward trend. Although I'm not sure how much Apple's next-generation Apple Watch will be cheaper in the future, it's a trend overall.
2, functional characteristics
Although I don't like to sing the opposites or raise the bar, the main function of the smart watch is to tell you that you have new notifications or new messages. I have an email. I can view it on my watch, call me, my watch will vibrate... Are these features really so attractive?
Although smart watches are great products from many perspectives, most of them can be implemented with smart wristbands like Jawbone Up or Fitbit. If the first purpose of buying a smart watch is to track health data, then you need to think about it before you do. While smart watches have more sensors built in, more of a wearable device is a sound platform that gives users more reasons to maintain a certain level of activity.
To be fair, we are not sure what Apple's HealthKit platform can do, but if Apple can somehow surpass the experience offered by products such as Fitbit, then I am still willing to pay for an Apple Watch.
In addition to detecting fitness health data, smart watches do not have anything beyond the smartphone, basically the same as smartphones. Do you really need a smart watch to remind the phone of the notification? Really inconvenient to see when the phone is really a lot? In fact, I still prefer to habitually pull out the phone to directly view and reply to the information, no need to pay more.
Some smart watches have built-in SIM cards, which can perform various types of mobile phone functions separately; while some products are only used as the second screen of smart phones, providing a simple notification reminder function. Although the first one may be the future trend, the current large power consumption of the microchip will undoubtedly affect the use effect. After all, the watch is worn on the wrist, and the comfort is very important. Therefore, the lack of mature and unified hardware standards makes smart watches either not functional enough or become "hot potato", and there may not be a perfect product in the short term.
3, size
Almost all smart watches are now much larger than you think. Although there is currently no uniform standard, basically all products are very cumbersome in their current form.
Even in the smart watch, the Moto 360, which is considered to be very slim and beautiful, is actually much bigger than expected on the wrist. Although it is somewhat difficult for a smart watch to be the same size as an ordinary watch, at least the consumer does not look too awkward to wear on the wrist. But then again, if the dial of a smart watch is really close to an ordinary watch, it will not be too small from the perspective of the screen.
If you are a very minded user of smartwatch sizes, this will definitely make you very concerned. In addition, from the current point of view, most smart watches are considered to be particularly good-looking, so it is not easy for you to expect to use them to show your taste.
4, early product features are limited
We buy smartphones because they can do almost all the functions. More importantly, smartphones have a relative balance in all aspects, and most products are the right choice. But smart watches are not like this.
We have to spit out the function of the smart watch again. Today's smartwatch products are built with many sensors and a compact screen, and these are just early product forms. Although smart watches look cool today, there are still many features that are not possible, even though many smart watch manufacturers claim that their products can make their work more "smooth." So you may not be suitable as the first users of smart watches.
At present, the smart watches on the market are almost identical in function. Except for Apple's Apple Watch, there is an Apple Pay mobile payment function, but this is not an irreplaceable. In fact, if you are an iPhone user, you can achieve the same effect by paying for your phone through Apple Pay at any time.
The mobile platform has not been optimized for smartwatch products, and it is clear that manufacturers need to do more work. For example, Samsung Galaxy Gear, it is possible not to build Google Play but its own software store to adapt to the unique resolution and application form of smart watches. Therefore, even if the smart watch adopts the Android system, it does not mean that it can use all the software, but also requires vendor optimization or joint software developers to customize the development, then it takes a long time to build a complete platform.
5, you have a better choice
Finally, there is a very obvious reason, that is, they are not as indispensable as a smartphone. With this money, you can buy something you need more. The smart watch's functionality is completely mobile, and you can save money to buy a more cool sports watch or wearable fitness device. All smart watches can also be inserted into the SIM card to make calls independently from the phone, but so far they have not found a strong reason to convince consumers to buy.
From the current point of view, smart watches will not, can't, and will never replace our smartphones. Most of the smartphone apps have been carefully designed and optimized by developers to deliver a rich experience that cannot be replicated by smart watches.
Future prospects
Even if the next generation of smartphones can do better and better with additional sensors and applications, it also requires early user feedback to help developers better understand the essence of smart watches and improve existing features. Smart watches require a more "easy-to-reach" hardware perimeter and can help smartphones do more than just display notifications.
Apple Watch will help developers find the latest goals first. Just like smartphones, Apple's wearable devices are not the earliest products, but they must be the most powerful players to lead the industry forward.
Remember how exciting it was when Apple launched the app store for the first iPhone, but when you calm down and think, it's very important. In just a few years, both the application and hardware levels have improved dramatically, and many vendors and developers, including Android, have begun to follow suit.
Smart watches are exciting products, but they require a more affordable price, and it all takes time. While it's not easy to control the volume, if the application is strong, it will give consumers enough reason to break the obstacles and raise their wrists to see what they need, instead of re-selling the phone. Of course, if you are a person who has the courage to try new things, these reasons are not enough to stop you, but we still recommend full research before buying to ensure that this product can meet at least some of your needs.
