Smartwatches and fitness bracelets are not as popular as we think

Smart gadgets that burst into our lives a few years ago are losing interest in themselves from year to year. Manufacturers are constantly expanding functionality and coming up with new designs. But the buyer is in no hurry to shop for new items. Even an affordable price does not affect this behavioral factor. Smart watches and bracelets are simply not interesting to most users.

Smartwatches and fitness bracelets - limited options

 

Tracking medical records and multimedia is great and convenient. But does it make sense to buy a gadget that needs to be constantly charged and tied to a smartphone. For example, our beloved brand Xiaomi, during all this time, did not bother to solve the problem with a stable connection to the phone after the connection was broken. Notifications from instant messengers are very convenient, but people with poor eyesight cannot read all these messages. A smart watch Huawei, in sport mode, they work for a couple of days on a single charge.

There are, of course, exceptions - Apple Watch, but not everyone can afford their price. In addition, for the smartwatch to work, you need to have Apple mobile technology. And this is an additional cost. And a logical question arises - why do we need these fitness bracelets and smart watches if they are more annoying than useful.

 

The era of mechanical watches returns

 

It is enough to look at any business magazine from the print edition to understand what is happening in the world. Entrepreneurs, actors, politicians and other representatives of the elite prefer the classics. And not necessarily Patek Philippe or Breguet flaunt on the hand of an aristocrat. Seiko, Tissot and even Orient mechanics are common.

That is, all these smart wrist gadgets are not as interesting to users as manufacturers are trying to impose on us with their advertising. You can understand the sellers - a novelty always carries something interesting and unusual. But most buyers see in the gadget only a watch that needs to be constantly charged. And the look of even the coolest Apple Watch will never be more sophisticated and richer than a regular mechanical watch.

 

Smartwatch or mechanical classic - which is better

 

In terms of durability of use, mechanics will always lead. Moreover, a zero can be easily attributed to the declared service life for smartwatches in order to obtain the durability of even the most budgetary mechanical watches. Mechanics do not drop so much in price, and some watches only become more expensive on the market from year to year. If you already buy a watch for daily wear, then it is better to give preference to classic movements.

Fitness bracelets and smartwatches are temporary. A year or two and manufacturers will focus on the implementation of something new and more interesting. Right now, the topic of smart glasses is being actively promoted. But this is also such an incomprehensible step into the unknown world, which is not completely clear to the buyer. It's one thing to have glasses like Tony Stark (Iron Man). Another thing is to get a gadget for reading messages from a smartphone. These are completely different technologies, have technologies really advanced so far in our world?
