Wearables, wearable technology, has been one of the latest trends in the market. Especially starring smartwatches or smartwatches which include Apple Watch, Samsung Gear and many others that have been appearing in the market with various forms, operating systems such as Android Wear, Samsung Tizen or features such as LTE connectivity, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and other types of components. They have also become products appreciated by lovers of sports and health, with applications that take advantage of their particular functions.

Why do I need a smartwatch?

Smartwatches are not for making phone calls, although some may do so, they provide a quick and easy way to verify what notifications are on your smartphone so you can decide if it’s worth poking around in your pocket or searching your purse.

What kind of smartwatch should I look for?

At this time there are two types of smartwatches: those with a colorful touch screen like the one you would find on your phone, and those that combine a normal analog clock with smart functions. They are called ‘semi-smartwatches’ and are also known as hybrids. Here we talk about semi-intelligent devices that normally provide information through a small LCD screen, or LED. If you’re an Android user, an Android Wear smartwatch is the obvious choice, but it’s not necessarily the best for everyone. The Google operating system modified for portable devices also works very well with iOS but gives them reduced functionality for iPhone owners to get more from the Apple Watch.

What makes a good smartwatch?

When testing the best smartwatch, the important factors to consider are the number of functionalities that your smartphone can perform, and how it handles each task. It is also very important to make sure it is compatible with your smartphone. Because some are only for iPhone or Android, while others are compatible with most phones. Some smartwatches use different software, such as the Samsung Gear S3 that runs Tizen, Samsung’s own operating system, and is a legitimate alternative to Android Wear. Also, as things stand, you will have to choose a watch with more limited functions if you want a long-lasting battery, while those that can do all sorts of things will usually last only a couple of days. Fitness fans will want to look for a device with a heart rate monitor and an integrated GPS, although heart rate monitors are often deficient.

We consider that the important factors of a smartwatch are the level of detail of the notification, the battery life, the style, the water resistance, its compatibility with a range of devices / smartphones, as well as additional functions such as microphones and Wi-Fi support so you do not have to connect to a phone to get full functionality.
