The era of smart watches
Touch screen watches, also known as smart watches, are a revolution in the wrist watch world. If you have a touch screen watch, more often than not you will find yourself looking at your watch every time your phone receives a text message or a call. There would be a greater battery life than any other touch screen device (other than a watch) that you might possess and of course, the ease factor in life would be greatly enhanced. Touch screen watches provide several benefits and can be pretty nice to wear. They increase the style quotient a few notches and make the wearer seem a lot cooler. Let us explore some of the features of these smart watches and what makes them special.
1. Added usability features
Without the touch screen feature, a watch could not do a lot of what it can do now. How would you change screens? Would there be four arrow keys on your digital watch to make it work like a touch screen watch? Would you then have to move the cursor to each and every option in order to toggle with it? That does not sound feasible, which is precisely why touch screen watches had to be introduced by companies like Samsung and Pebble. Because you can now “touch” it to make it work, playing around with detailed options like choosing your song or reading a text or increasing the volume is much easily and more practical.
2. Ability to sync with other devices
Yes, sync information that is important with other electronic devices you have including tablets and other smart phones. More, iOS and Android are primarily touch screen operating systems. They have been used on touch screen phones mostly and perform the best when used on them. Therefore, if the most advanced operating system were to be used for small mobile devices like a Watch, it had to be a touch screen watch. This also helps the watch get synced with other devices running the same Operating System and therefore sharing of data can be made much easier and faster.
3. Added Comfort
The added comfort which comes with this watch is not only limited to not having to press physical buttons to get things done on it. The fact that a lot of apps can now be used on your watch itself is a huge comforting factor. If for instance you’re a sports person, not having to carry your phone around to listen to songs or check your running speed can be the biggest sigh of relief imaginable.
