My Watch Is So Smart. S-M-R-T, I Mean S-M-A-R-T

Electronics are getting smarter, and every day seemingly we edge closer to a hostile takeover by artificial intelligence. For now, though, the AI can take control of remembering things that we forget and keeping us on track to claim our own destinies. Smart devices are everywhere, maybe you are reading this on your smart device. Maybe you are in the market for a new smart watch? Before you strap a smart little companion to your wrist, there are a few important things to consider. See Harveynorman.com.au for the biggest range of smart watches for men and women.

Compatibility

The first thing to consider is handset compatibility. Nearly all smart watches will synch up to your smartphone so that you can read messages and be notified of incoming calls. Some smart watches even give you the ability to take calls directly on your wrist! Apple handsets work best with Apple’s own smart watch, but there are a few other watches that are compatible. If you are using an Android-based handset, then the majority of watches will be compatible – but always check before buying.

Tracking and Fitness

Now would be a good time to be mindful of the duties your smart watch will perform. Are you a fitness junkie? There are devices aimed squarely at you with advanced biometrics, durable housings, and spookily accurate GPS/GNSS tracking, you can reach new peaks. With a device like the Ionic Smart Watch from Fitbit, you can train like an animal but track and modify your progress like a fiendishly genius AI. Less expensive options like the Vivoactive series by Garmin are no slouches and recognise the different activities you perform just by your movements.

Stay organised

What if you aren’t that enthused by working out? A smart watch can still be a valuable friend to you and your smartphone. Wearing a computer on your wrist is not only awesome any way you spin it but can also help you stay focussed and organised. Samsung’s range of smart watches have become very popular, with the solid build quality and an arsenal of features, it’s easy to see why. The Galaxy Watch is a shining example of Samsung’s prowess. It pays tribute to traditional time pieces – but don’t let the classic exterior fool you – under the hood is more power than the Voyager spacecraft. Abundant with organisation apps, the Galaxy watch remembers and tracks all the important events so that you can apply your mind to other things.

Taking care of calls

A new breed of the smart watches has recently been making waves. Wearable technology has long featured GPS to track location, but game-changing advances in technology have birthed the smart watch with a cellular connection. What does this mean? Much like your smart phone, these watches can receive a cellular signal that can connect to a mobile network. This means you can place calls directly from your wrist like a wrist communicator from a certain cult classic TV show. Apple’s newest series 4 watch is offered in a 4G variant if you are ready to take your first step into the future.

Keeping it Old School

All these brainy watches are fantastic, but for the more discrete and traditional individual, there exists another option. A less “smart” and more “watch” option and it’s called a hybrid. Watches like the Emporio Armani Hybrid Smart Watch allow you to be in touch with your phone without taking it out of your pocket and without looking like you are wearing a smart watch. The suave timepiece still syncs to your smartphone and alerts you of calls, messages, and emails through small colored LEDs. It can also track your steps and sleeping patterns to keep you healthy but maintains the physical dial and hands of a classic wristwatch.

The wearable tech scene has come a long way, and now even entry-level devices are capable and elegant ways to keep connected. Flagship models have more computing power than your Dad’s laptop and can receive and place calls without the need for a smartphone. Water and dust resistant cases as well as super bright, crisp displays mean you can reconnect with nature and not fear the computer reaper. Smart watches have definitely arrived, and they are undoubtedly smart but don’t fret, they are using their brains for the good of mankind.
