Apple’s iWatch?
For years now, one of Apple’s biggest rumor has been about the Apple TV, but now for the past year and a half, the new rumor seems to be the Apple iWatch. After the release of Samsung’s galaxy gear watch, it seems more likely that Apple will release an iWatch. There have been several news and blog posts based on Samsung’s gear watch, where it was not the best thing to carry with you through out your regular day to day activities. Critics gave it a bad review due to Samsung’s gear watch being too buggy and being only compatible with the Galaxy Note, making the watch’s features even more limited. To be able to use all the functions of the watch, you would have to carry the huge Samsung’s Galaxy Note with you through out the time you have the watch on your wrist, which I personally found ridiculous. The Watch had a pretty cool design and all, but the functionality of the watch did not live up to its expectations. A lot of people prefer carrying a regular watch on their wrists, rather than going through a hassle with this faulty piece of hardware.
Due to all the negative review I have heard about the Samsung gear watch, I personally think it would be an unwise idea to release an iWatch at this time. Like sure, Apple releasing an iWatch does sound like a pretty cool idea, but maybe not that cool, when you actually picture yourself talking to your watch while walking through the middle of the streets or even taking pictures with the camera integrated within the watch. The watch just might be a cool watch to have on your wrist, to somehow just drag attentions. But useful wise, I believe having a phone and camera function within a watch is completely irrelevant. I honestly do not see myself now or in the future actually talking to my watch, or even having some sort of a video chat with someone else in my contacts with my watch, due to the lack of LTE and WiFi working flawlessly with Apple’s line of products.
But then again, that is my personal thought. Apple might end up proving us wrong, by releasing something that is a little similar to the so-called iWatch and being ten times better than Samsung’s gear watch. In many ways the iWatch can be better than the Samsung’s gear watch, which would be more bug free and have more cool features integrated within the watch itself. The iWatch can also be more independent, rather than having to carry or purchase an Apple iPhone or device just so you can use your iWatch. And also I think Apple should begin looking into creating their products that are more water resistant, so consumers are able to worry less about using the sink with their watches are on their wrists or going to some water park and so. Apple still hasn’t released any news based on the iWatch, but Tim Cook did hint that the iWatch would be a cool futuristic device to have a couple months back, which would most definitely excite a lot of consumers. But we might have to just wait and see what actually will happen.

After i saw the commercial for samsung glaxay gear watch, i always thought the concept was pretty cool, but i since i dont have a galaxy product i didnt pay much attention to it. It is good to hear that apple is making something designated as a watch instead of just strapping a ipod nano to your wrist.

I don’t know about smart watches in general. I honestly do not see the point, but after seeing people line up for the $3000 Mac Pro…I can see people just throwing money at apple stores for anything with “i” in front of it.
