The modern world does not stand still, people come up with new technologies, making them more functional, convenient and sophisticated. Being with friends in a coffee shop, it annoys many that every five minutes a friend looks at the phone, but now this can be ruled out and enjoy the company. You can do this using the watch on Android.
Main functions
Many do not know at all why they need a watch on Android. The main functions are very simple: depending on the models for each wallet, you can find the functionality of a different range.
The simplest models offer smartphone control, a heart rate monitor, notifications, and serious models are pumped up to a strong battery charge, have a navigator, send notifications, give a choice - a sensor or a dial on the screen, voice response, SMS, use of clouds, an alarm clock.
By the way, many developers say that with a vibromotor, the gadget will monitor the state of sleep of a person, making his awakening very easy and laid-back. In general, the watch will always stay in touch, how it is relevant for a modern person.
So, the main functions of “smart” gadgets are to notify you of calls to your smartphone, email, SMS and activities in social networks, monitoring sports achievements (counting calories, activity, heart rate monitor), controlling your phone (photo, music, search).
Models
But are smart devices suitable only for a business person? For every taste you can choose an accessory. For athletes recommend fitness bracelets, which are now successfully complemented by watches and notifications on the phone. Fitbit, Nike, and Polar are doing the trick. Now you can enjoy your favorite music while playing sports, without trying to answer a call from your phone, but simply switch the necessary notifications on the watch.
Another interesting model is the Lifetrak R450. Many claim that they have a heart rate monitor, which is the most accurate of smart watches, taking all notifications and activities. In addition, you can switch music, see what friends are doing on social networks, get directions and find out the weather.
True, there is one drawback: for Russian users, the text will be in squares. Let's hope that this misunderstanding will be finalized and soon everyone will be able to see an improved model for sports.

Features
If there are still doubts about the versatility of smart watches, I think some features will dispel them.
- Firstly, some models with Wi-fi support can receive notifications not only via Bluetooth. This means that you can safely forget the phone at home, and still know what happens to the page on social networks. For example, models such as the Moto 360-2 and LG Urbane can easily let go of a run or sip coffee slowly without a phone.
- Secondly, the watch is comfortable. Both in a sock, and in operation. It is not necessary to look into the instruction manual every time. Now that a person is constantly involved in the action, you don’t want to waste time on any nonsense or labor-intensive operations with a smartphone. With Android watches, it’s possible to stretch out some nice little things, and you can forget about operations on the phone by clicking on the buttons of the smart watch.
Newer models are relatively affordable to most people. Smartphone companies are increasingly wanting to find a niche with the market for smart devices, making them more functional, more accessible and more convenient, and not forgetting about financial policies.
One feature is device compatibility. A beautiful design can fail, making the watch useless. When buying, be sure to check the compatibility of the model with the phone, and only then you can precisely determine the design that almost every company provides in any format.
Be sure to consult about the battery life of the watch. If the watch is presented in a monochrome screen, then the work is designed for 4-5 days of continuous charging, while color models can provide work in 1-2 days. The main thing is to know exactly which functions are preferable and the right model will be selected.
Smart devices can reflect the individuality of a person, his style, taste preferences. This is an important part of the modern world, which dictates its own rules, and you want to always stay at the top of style and beauty.
Benefits
The advantage of these models is the equipment with various important functions, and each company offers something unusual and new for the consumer.
The Android base provides access to cloud services, which undoubtedly pushes forward, leaving competitors behind. And this is not surprising, because Google is a popular and relevant search giant. If we talk about the search engine, then the clock based on Android uses Knowledge Graph Voice - a voice engine. You can search for anything from the nearest restaurants to the number of stars in the constellation Orion. Just say the cherished words Ok Google or open the g tab, and all the answers will be shown.
Android Wear has another advantage - the watch allows you to share and save content. You can view the saves later, and you can immediately share urgent messages or notifications.
Smart watches have an interesting advantage - the sensor of falling asleep and the alarm clock. The watch wakes up with a soft vibration, now you can definitely arrive at work on time. The watch can read special QR codes, for example, for plane or train tickets. Nice and helpful.
Updates
Now a new update is planned to launch smart watches on the Android platform. In addition to technical screen and design updates, the system of transferring data from applications to the phone will be simplified. Fashionable fitness programs will also be influenced by calorie calculations, an accurate heart rate monitor.
It will become easier to respond to mail and SMS. It is enough to expand the screen using voice or you can use the keyboard.
Reviews
Reviews (on the issue of popularity) are mostly positive. Of the positive qualities noted design, functionality, usability, autonomy and reliability.Many say that in winter, this accessory is an integral part. Owners of expensive models promise that the watch is worth it to purchase them. They note water resistance - a convenient material that does not scratch the case while in the bag, does not affect the ingress of water.

Users note that connecting the watch to a smartphone is very easy, in the future, communication is automatically established. They note that this is their favorite thing after a smartphone.
Development prospects
The developers promise to soon make watch models that will be responsible for things that are not related to the information environment. It remains to speculate what the new technologies will lead to, but according to forecasts, soon the smartphone can simply be worn on the wrist, but whether it will become an integral part of life or simply will remain an unknown as a stylish accessory. Most likely, it depends on the way of life, what needs and values become central to a person.
It is not for nothing that companies inject enough finance for the development of this area. Time will tell where the development path for this new technology will lead.
