The IWC Connect is not a smartwatch. But it can make classic wristwatches smarter. Namely, IWC Connect is a round digital device that will soon begin to appear on the straps of sports watch models of the Swiss brand IWC. It will track physical activity without having to own an elegant watch face. In addition, it will be possible to manage other devices connected to the Internet of Things.
Wearable devices
Thanks to Asus, the world of smart watches is richer by another watch. The VivoWatch is Asus' second model, after it already introduced the ZenWatch last fall. Due to its structure, the Vivowatch is suitable for all those who gain fitness, i.e. those who play sports. The watch itself is not in bad "condition" either, as it has a 10-day autonomy. It is compatible with Android and iOS devices.
We are all running out of time. We cannot change the fact that we will die. Nevertheless, we tend to forget that every day is a gift, a bonus, because we are all from today to tomorrow. Therefore, the Life Clock (in the Apple Watch body), a clock that counts down the time until our death, is not even as bizarre a matter as it may sound. Because sometimes it is only after a tragedy that we begin to value time and life and consider the fact that we have an expiration date. Beauty or not, the thing is that we don't know when it expires. Well, now we know, so we can make the most of what we have.
A few days ago, the Neptune company launched a group of devices called Suite, which, in addition to the Hub smart watch, enrich the range. The suite includes the Neptune duo (a wearable smartphone and a secondary screen for your pocket), a tablet, a keyboard, wireless headphones and a "dongle" that allows it to connect to your TV. Now, with the "gadgets" of the Neptune Suite, you can try out what computer technology will look like in 2025."
Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, described the Apple Watch as the most advanced display of time to date. It is suitable for technology connoisseurs, sports enthusiasts and all users in between. The Apple Watch is Apple's most personal device to date, and since it also has the digital assistant Siri, you'll finally be able to talk to your watch like you've always wanted to.
Many mobile phone manufacturers have "scraped" for the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona 2015, including China's Huawei, which presented the Huawei Watch, its first Android smart watch. It is an analog-looking watch with a 14-inch touch-sensitive AMOLED display with a pixel density of 286 pixels per inch. It is available in gold, silver and black, with a leather or stainless steel strap.
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.
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!
