withApple is far ahead of the competition when it comes to smartwatches .
Their smartwatches are packed with a lot of cool features like ECG, Heart rate, and seamless connection with iphones. Apple watch series 1: Apple Watch first generation is a wearable gadget developed by Apple Inc. It is really more than a normal watch can offer and hence coin as the smartwatch. This watch has health-related functionality integrated into it such as distance walked or run, amount of calories consumed, caffeine intake, blood pressure, heartbeat and in some cases quality of sleep. It was first introduced on September 9, 2014, along with iPhone 6 at the press conference. Apple released a watch officially on April 24, 2015. It is integrated with iOS and hence you can connect well with your Apple product and services such as Mac, iPhone, iTunes account, etc. Apple Watch’s first generation is the only product developed by Apple that comes under wearable technology. Apple watch series 2: The processor makes the new Apple Watch zip along much better than the original, but there are still some operations that aren't as quick as you hope; like opening apps. Some reviews have suggested issues with slow synchronisation of apps, but we haven't found that to be a problem and we've had no stability issues with Series 2 whatsoever. Although it's possible to get about two days out of the watch (42mm version), we find our normal use means we're getting around 1.5 days from it. There is a bigger battery inside than there was inside Series 1, but of course there are also other enhancements that use more power. It's more like an upgraded series 1 excluding the gps and added water resistance there is no significant upgrade to series 2 that's worth mentioning. Apple watch series 3: The design of the Apple Watch has become pretty iconic, in the way that people just know you’re wearing the iTimepiece. When you see a footballer wearing a Fitbit you'll have to peer to see which model it is, but with the Apple Watch it's instant recognition. AdvertisementUnlike the iPhone, we don't see the need to upgrade the design that much with a watch, and Apple's done pretty well to keep the chassis almost identical given that it's now packing in a new chipset and cellular connectivity in the two sizes of device (38mm and 42mm). It's done so by integrating the antenna into the screen, which is an innovative way of saving space... although the Watch couldn't have stood to be made any chunkier, such is its square, curved design. There has been a slight upgrade in the manufacturing process though, as clicking the Digital Crown or the power button feels firmer than on the Apple Watch 2. This is subtle, but it's something we've noticed every time we've used the Watch 3. Apart from that, the only key difference is on the Digital Crown, which now sports a red dot to signify it's the new model. Apple watch series 4: The Apple Watch Series 4 offers a larger, crisp display that shows more with less bezel, super fast speed and a louder speaker. It adds high and low heart-rate detection, fall detection with SOS trigger and an FDA-cleared ECG app for more detailed heart readings. The Apple Watch Series 4 is the fastest, most connected and best overall smartwatch around, but its battery life and watch face options often fall short of the competition. Apple watch series 5: There’s no question that the Apple Watch Series 5 is the absolute best smartwatch money can buy. It has an incredible screen, excellent app support, and the strongest set of sensors and features you’ll find anywhere. It’s expensive for sure, but when you consider Tag Heuer sells a $1,700 Wear OS watch without LTE, the price doesn’t seem quite so outlandish. The Series 5 Watch starts at $399 for an aluminum 40mm GPS version and jumps to $499 for LTE. Another $30 gets you the 44mm version and it goes up from there, depending on the band and your choice of materials, which includes titanium and ceramic this time around. You could easily spend upwards of $1,500, but that’s the beauty of the Apple Watch—the $399 version is just as good as any of the thousand dollar-plus models. The style is what you’re paying for. It's currently the beast of smartwatch market and will remain as beast for two more years or until apple itself releases a watch with some interesting features. |
Samsung started well with Samsung Gear smartwatches which has lot of features but this watch can connect to both ios and android.
Samsung galaxy watch: The Samsung Galaxy Watch is here, officially announced along with the new Note 9 smartphone at Galaxy Unpacked 2018, and we've been wearing the 42mm Rose Gold model for the past couple of weeks. The first thing you'll notice is that Samsung has dropped the 'Gear S' naming convention, and called its new smartwatch the Galaxy Watch. The big question is, are the updates big enough to reflect the brand new name or is the Galaxy Watch simply a stylish sequel to the Gear Sport that should also appeal to a broader audience? And that redesign really is key, arguably, to the success of the Galaxy Watch, as despite this new smartwatch packing some neat new features, the fact that it looks more like a regular watch will no-doubt be the foremost decider in whether potential adopters pull the trigger. Samsung Gear S: Samsung is knees deep in the latest trend of gearing up your wrist with an extension of your smartphone. The Gear S however walks the extra mile of offering independent 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity along with full telephony support. A culmination of several smartwatch iterations, the Gear S packs better hardware and a lot more of it. Samsung is breaking new ground here as the Gear S is actually more of an independent smartphone for your wrist, than an accessory for your smartphone. The device is equipped with its own SIM card and has all the needed hardware and software to function as an independent phone that just happens to be attached to a strap and be able to sync with your Samsung smartphone. The ambiguity in nature is a very bold move by the Korean giant, but has a multitude of drawbacks, most prominently - the need to buy a separate monthly data plan just to use the rudimentary smart features of your watch without it being paired to a handset. But more on that later. Samsung Gear S2: In the Gear S2, Samsung offered up a much more cohesive, well thought out approach. It's clear without even touching the second of three generations of the Gear watch, that the company practically went back to the drawing board to craft a wearable truly worth your attention. When looking at the Gear S2, it's obvious that Samsung has learnt from its past successes and failures. It's much more wearable than their previous attempts, it looks good and it's comfortable. More importantly the updated Tizen OS has been perfectly tailored to a smartwatch screen, with perhaps the best user interface I've seen on a smartwatch, making excellent use of the tactile rotating bezel. Samsung Gear S3: Well-constructed; attractive design; clever spinning bezel interface. GPS, speakerphone, optional stand-alone LTE phone service and work-anywhere Samsung Pay. Spotify app streams music on the go. Works with most Android phones, and even iPhones to a degree. Samsung's watch survives, for now, as one of the better options for Android phone users. The Gear S3 is an insanely feature-rich smartwatch with a big, bold design. But unlike the latest Apple Watch and Android's upcoming 2.0 software update, Samsung's Tizen-based Gear S3 doesn't do enough to improve the experience or support more apps. And few of those apps actually use the Gear S3's standalone LTE. In terms of hardware, it's a better watch than last year's bold, clever Gear S2. And yet, it fails to take enough leaps forward in its software. Last year's S2 was innovative, but it needed polishing. And it really, really needed more apps. Samsung Galaxy watch Active 2: The Galaxy Watch Active 2 feels even better on your wrist than the first Active -- it's comfortable during workouts and when sleeping. An updated running coach works fairly well, as long as you can deal with the Bixby voice. The touch bezel lets you navigate between menus easily. It now comes in two sizes and there's an LTE option. There's much to like about the latest Galaxy Watch Active 2, even though its flagship health feature ECG hasn't been turned on yet. But it's quite far away when compared to apple watch series 5. |
