Swiss watches are a concept of accuracy and a Swiss landmark, so it was only a matter of time before one of the local manufacturers decided to make a smart watch. Perhaps surprisingly, this is not Swatch, but fashion watchmaker Mondaine. Helvetica No. 1 is therefore an apt name for a smartwatch that looks more like the classic, analog watches the Swiss are known for than smartphones, as is common practice.
Wearable devices
The Pebble Time smartwatch promises an incredible 7 days of battery life, beating competitors like the Apple Watch, LG Watch Urbane,... by days! Unlike most smart watches, it does not use a touch screen, but e-paper, i.e. a screen with the contrast of paper, which consumes very little energy. Although it has barely started its Kickstarter campaign, it already exceeded the goal of 500 thousand dollars in 20 minutes, and after an hour the number jumped to two million.
The Neptune Duo smartwatch took a different tack than most smartwatches. While most are subordinate to smartphones or their assistants, the situation with this Android watch is just the opposite. We get it in a set with a phone with a 5-inch screen, which is just an interface and thus much less smart than smartphones. That's why it's so much smarter. But the phone is not only an extended arm of the latter, but also a charger where the watch can "tap" its battery.
LG is betting a lot on smart watches, otherwise it wouldn't have introduced its third model in a relatively short time. The LG Watch Urbane, like the G Watch R and the diametric opposite of the Apple Watch, is a classic watch in appearance, but in reality, the heart of Android is hidden under the dial. LG is not sending a unisex model to the market, as it will be available in gold and silver, as it counts on both sexes equally.
The whole world has now known the Apple Watch in detail, but no one has it yet, although a fake appeared on eBay some time ago, which confused many. How could it not, when everything since the presentation in September of last year has merrily tangled with release dates. Tim Cook put an end to that when he recently announced that the Apple Watch will go on sale in April 2015.
We present the 5 most "stylish" wearable technology gadgets on the market, which we will consider (or pre-order) in 2015. We think that functionality has never been so wearable!
It has happened to each of us too many times when preparing tea that we did not plan it properly. The industrial designer Lennart Rieper got tired of the same problems, so he made a smart watch for making tea, the Tealightful Timer. The smartwatch is currently fighting for its breakthrough on the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform.
The biggest hit of this year's CES in the field of wearable technology is the smart watch, which was jointly prepared by LG and Audi. Although it is only a prototype that does not even have a name, it gives us a concrete insight into LG's future in the field of wearable technology. The watch does not have Google's Android Wear operating system, designed for wearable devices, but rather LG's in-house Open webOS platform, which has been reaping success in the field of smart TVs for some time.
CES 2015 has many trendsetters in technology, and the Withings Activité Pop watch is certainly one of them. Although they are found under the label of smart watch, they are actually classic watches - with hands and a dial - and the functionality of smart watches is added to them by a smart bracelet that monitors daily activities (walking, running, swimming), sleep, and serves as a silent alarm using vibrations ,...
Sony's FES smartwatch was being developed in secret, or rather, under the "pseudonym" of Fashion Entertainments, as they didn't want to sign their name to a potentially unsuccessful product. So they financed it right through the Makauke platform (Japanese Kickstarter), by which they sensed the market situation and the time, and more than 20 thousand euros collected, showed that a watch with an e-ink screen is worth making and Sony's name.
Our everyday life is literally intertwined with wires and lightning-fast devices and processors, so it is appropriate to ask ourselves what would happen if our favorite devices came to life and killed us? Now you must think that we have swam into the waters of science fiction conspiracies, but do you really never panic when the "off" button on an electric mixer does not respond immediately? Here are seven devices that would be fatal if they ever came to life. Ah, that metal jungle.
Before Windows 10 came out, many people had hiccups with the 8 after the 7, but who would have thought that anyone still misses Windows 95. Although the 16-year-old was not even born when this version was created, that did not stop him, not to try to load a museum version of Windows on the latest cry of technology, a smart watch, specifically Samsung's Gear Live watch.
