Techssocial | Smartwatch, for what? This question may ping you in case you already have an Android smartphone or iPhone. But in case you simply love to live on the other side of the high-tech world, this is the sophisticated tool you can add to your new status symbol.
But that’s not all. Apart from telling you the time (It’s a watch, remember :)) it has inbuilt features of getting notifications directly without lifting your phone. It just fills in the void of trying to reach out to your phone to read every update in your message directory or almost everything you look at your smartphone for.
You can view your WhatsApp and texts, use the voice command for search a location or the nearest cinema hall to watch any movie. You can use GPS and set reminders. It’s a music player and a fitness guide, smart technology, and style, all in one.
With gradually picking up the pace, so many companies like Apple, Samsung, Android wear, Fitbit, and many more offering a variety of smartwatches, comparoid brings you a simple guide that can help you to decide which one to go for.
