Frank Greguska deleted SDAP-333: -------------------------------- > A Complete Guide on How to Choose the Right Smartwatch for You > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SDAP-333 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SDAP-333 > Project: Apache Science Data Analytics Platform > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Diceus > Priority: Major > > Buying a smartwatch will make your life much easier. This is a universal > device that will not only show the time, but also remind you of upcoming > meetings, wake you up in the morning and notify you of incoming calls. Read > about these and other features, as well as how to choose a smartwatch, in our > article. > h2. *What is a smartwatch and what are they like?* > After the advent of smartphones, it became clear that other gadgets could > also be made smarter. First of all, this affected the watch. So how are > smartwatches different from ordinary watches and what can they do? It's > simple: they inherited many functions from modern phones and can enter into > symbiosis with them, simplifying work and eliminating the need to go into > your pocket for a smartphone every time. Learn more about development details > at > [https://diceus.com/expertise/wearable-app-development-services-and-solutions/]. > Instead of a dial, smartwatches have a modern electronic display, often in > color. In most devices, the screen is touch sensitive. Such devices allow you > to answer calls, send messages, surf the Internet, store information on them > like on a USB flash drive, and even take pictures, as well as scan the > owner's physical activity with them. > The number of functions and capabilities of smartwatches directly depends on > their price. Sometimes the exception is gadgets, which can be expensive > simply because of the brand. > There is no official classification of smartwatches, so it is rather > arbitrary. Smart watches can be divided into: > # Watch-phone is an interesting variant of devices that does not require > connection to a smartphone, but at the same time you can make calls with > their help. They have a built-in micro or nano size SIM card slot. On such a > watch, you can install various applications, view documents and even photos > with their help. > # Companion watch - this watch will already ask for connection to your > smartphone and without such symbiosis will not be able to function at its > full potential. But due to this connection, the watch-companion is much more > functional than its other brothers, since many operations are processed by > the processor of a smartphone, which is by far more powerful than the one > that can be put into a watch. > Fitness bracelets and watches - this category includes universal devices that > not only perform some of the functions of a smartwatch, but are also designed > to collect various information about the owner's physical activity and the > state of his health. These gadgets are designed for sports and are not > intended to emphasize the status of the owner; therefore, they are > lightweight and can be of different colors and shapes. > Fitness watches, as a rule, can count the owner's heart rate and the number > of steps taken, switch to workout mode in the gym, read GPS routes, and much > more. All received information is sent either to a smartphone via Bluetooth > or Wi-Fi, or to cloud services via the Internet, where it is stored for later > analysis. > As for fitness bracelets, their functionality is slightly more modest than > that of watches, they are smaller in size and often do not have a display. > All control is carried out using a smartphone. However, in more modern > models, manufacturers still add convenient touchscreens, thanks to which it > is not at all necessary to carry a smartphone with you for jogging. > h2. *Software platform or watch OS* > Like any electronic device, smart watches work using the program installed in > them, so you can distinguish: > * A watch without an operating system, in which the functionality > is limited to those options that were originally built into them by the > developer. There are no prerequisites for customization in them, so be > content with what you have. As a rule, this applies to watches from the cheap > segment and to fitness bracelets. You will not be able to install the > applications you like on them, only in some models you can slightly modify > the interface for a more convenient one. Sometimes manufacturers release new > firmware for their devices, adding new features and changing the interface. > * A clock running an operating system is a full-fledged > minicomputer with a processor, RAM, internal storage, etc. Customization of > such a clock is limited only by the power of the device itself, the > developer's idea and the owner's imagination. They can download a variety of > applications that will allow you to take your smartphone out of your pocket > less often.
