Product Review: Apple Watch
Apple Corp introduced its latest version of the Apple Watch early in the year 2015. The entity noted that the Apple Watch boasted numerous capabilities such as the capacity to monitor workout intensity and heart rates that are tracked by an accelerometer, which keeps records of the various body movements made by the user that includes data such as distance and time. The gadget is compatible with the iPad and iPhone. The Apple Watch utilizes the GPS function to record the time and distance covered by a user.
The Apple Watch
has the capability to provide storage of data that can be retrieved later based on individual need and preference. Additionally,
the user can be able to develop a fitness program with distinctive goals such as the anticipated
level of calories to be reduced and other
workout session goals and objectives. However, the Apple Watch is unable to
provide information relating to blood glucose or pressure levels as initially
expected by customers. The input of such data may be at the discretion of the
user focused on understanding their fitness levels and well-being.
Consumers note that the Apple
Watch is relatively expensive when compared to its competitors. However, it is
considered as exceptional when compared to competitors given that the health
information collected and stored by the user can be access by other third party
applications with express consent from the owner. The Apple Watch utilizes HealthKit,
a health application that has been criticized
by users for problems associated with the
iOS8 software upgrade.
The Apple Watch has a variety of sizes, faces and six types of wristbands. Additionally, there is an 18-Carat Gold Edition that is claimed to be harder than standard gold. There are two sizes namely the 38mm model: 38.6mm x 33.3mm x 10.5mm and the 42mm model: 42mm x 35.9mm x 10.5mm. The 38mm watch ahs a display size of an estimated 340×272 pixels whereas the 42mm manages 390×312 pixels. In addition to such display capacity, the Apple Watch is equipped with Retina display and an Apple S1 computer.
The Apple Watch is capable of new functions using the watchOS 2, whereby users are able to evaluate time backward and forward, responding to electronic mail, social networking, and removal of third party application logics into the watch.
Some of the capabilities of the WathOs2 include
- Clock faces
- Application complications
- Time travel
- Instant mail and messaging
- Social networking
- Mobile wallet
- Navigation capabilities using GPS
- Native applications
- Entertainment such as music
- Nightstand mode
The Apple Watch’s watchOS2 is unlike the OS X El Capitan and iOS 9, with personalized and photo-based clock functions. Social networking is evidently one of the most important features that have been included in the Apple Watch as it provides users with opportunities for real-time interactions with other social media users. The watch is expensive primarily due to its ability to integrate and important applications from Smartphones. This is effective in enabling seamless interactions and execution of critical functions that were initially restricted to the iPhone and iPad. Furthermore, real-time analytics regarding fitness capabilities of the users is enhanced by reminders that enable the users to achieve optimal physical fitness. The reminders can be selected to inform the user of prolonged sitting and the need to standard to ensure adequate blood flow.
