Foreign technology website TechHive said in a recent article that the smart watch market seems to have become a serious fragrance for many technology companies, but some analysts believe that the concept of smart watches is vague, if manufacturers cannot provide consumers with superior performance The prospect of this product may not be optimistic.
The following is the main content of the article:
Apple is developing iWatch, and several other major manufacturers are also actively developing smart watch products. In response, some analysts questioned whether this type of wearable technology can be popularized by consumers.
Analysts believe that the potential of the smart watch market is also a problem, especially for young people who have not worn traditional watches and used smartphones to watch time.
First, most promising uses of smart watches are related to health. The wristband on the smart watch can detect the user's blood pressure and heart rate. For example, last month, contract electronics supplier Foxconn Technology Group (Foxconn Technology Group) released a wristband technology that can be used to monitor the user's heart rate and synchronize with the smartphone, and connect to the smartphone via Bluetooth technology.
Health watches are now quite common, and some of these products can project LED light on the skin to measure pulse or monitor whether the wearer's body has sufficient water content. The next step is to implant the sensors used in health watches into smart watches.
Smart watches may also have some capabilities that can expand the capabilities of smartphones. For example, smart watches can be used to display phone calls, text messages, or Weibo, etc., to save users the trouble of having to take the phone out of their pockets, backpacks, or handbags.
Angela McIntyre, an analyst at Gartner, a market research firm that studies wearable technology, said, "Just look at your wrist and you will be notified of incoming calls, text messages, Weibo or other notifications on the surface of the watch And other information. The smart watch device is really the peripheral device of the smartphone, so that people can use the smart watch as a separate screen of the smartphone. "
In McIntyre's vision, a microphone was added to the smart watch to receive simple commands from users or to make phone calls. She said that some prototype smart watch products already have a preset Weibo automatic reply function.
Silently develop smart watches
According to rumors, Microsoft is developing a smart watch product, equipped with an improved version of Windows 8 operating system, will be equipped with LTE wireless data connection function, so this device may not rely entirely on smartphone devices to maintain operation.
However, McIntyre pointed out that this design has a potential drawback, that is, users need to subscribe to the wireless service plan to use the device's LTE network connection function. "This is the biggest obstacle to LTE, and why these smart watch devices have to be connected to devices like smartphones in order to be able to connect to the network," she said. However, if the smart watch device is used to monitor the user's heart rate and transmit this information to the doctor, it will become important to equip the smart watch with cellular data technology.
Although the full voice dialogue function of the smart watch seems not feasible in the short term, McIntyre still believes that the smart watch will become an information update device when it is connected wirelessly with a mobile phone. She said, “The survey shows that people view smartphones more than 20 times per hour. People are constantly looking at new information, which means that it is more convenient to view watches than phones. This is where users are interested in smart watches, although Not particularly important. "
Gartner did not predict the specific sales and sales of smart watches in the next few years, but this research company believes that all types of wearable health devices have a healthy market, including healthy wristbands. McIntyre said that in 2016, global sales of wearable health devices will grow from US $ 1.6 billion this year to US $ 5 billion.
Sony released the third-generation SmartWatch 2 smart watch product on June 25 this year. Sony has produced 41 million smart watch devices, which will be sold in 2016. To correctly view this number, more than 1 billion smart watch products are expected to be put on the market in 2016, and Sony's 41 million is only part of it.
Jack Gold, an analyst with J. Gold Associates, an American market research company, said that there are doubts about whether smart watch products have such high value, and added that manufacturers of smart watch equipment will have to have some " Secret skills "to attract customers.
"What needs can a smartphone meet, and what can't be provided by all other devices around?" Gao De asked, "I really need to have a removable display on my wrist, or I just need to take out my smart Mobile phone or tablet is enough? I have some doubts about the concept of smart watch products. "
