Smartwatches 2013 - Will they replace your Swiss Luxury watches?  0 Comments

Published Tuesday, October 08, 2013 by Harry SK Tan |

 

Smartwatches are now coming to a store near you. Apple has yet to show its hand but there are already several models in the market to meet the demands of those who use Andrioid phones to pair with. Are Smartwatches worth being considered today? CNET reports that in some cases they are just eye candy but in most of these new models, they suffer from the same issues as smartphones - poor battery performance. Will the smartphone become the new tech gadget of 2013 or even 2014? I believe there is serious potential - if they are able to work seemlessly (and effectively) with useful apps together with the mobile smartphones today and has real long life battery capacity. So far there is nothing offered today that would make me seriously consider replacing my analog Swiss luxury timepieces. Just yet.
