The Dawn of Smart Watches



Nowadays, more and more watches are offering more functionality that simply just showing the time. Smart watches are now considered wearable computers as they let you perform calculations, translations, music playback, and run apps. Some smart watches even let you take pictures from your phone and would even let you take and make phone calls. 


I used to ignore smart watches whenever there is a mention of one somewhere. I was thinking that it’s just another gimmick from tech giants to make a lot of money from a useful but totally unnecessary gadget. But now that I am seeing more relevant functions and realizing how easy it makes life, for example when you’re out for a run and your watch lets you measure your heartbeat, I have come to appreciate this innovation.

Sony, Samsung and other smartphone developers have already launched their own version of the smart watch and quite a bit of upgrades are coming out as well. Apple will soon launch its own and many Apple fans are anticipating how innovative that is going to be.

2013 was said to be the year of the smart watch and there have been a lot of advancement with this gadget during that time. What’s more exciting is to see what developments there will be this year. One thing is clear, those things we wear on our wrists will change. We expect it of course to be a completely amazing device that lets us do all sorts of things without the constant charging or the heavy weight in our pockets.

I guess we all just have to sit back, relax and wait to see who wins the battle of the best smart watch.
