It is clear that the launch of the Apple Watch has been very popular, contrary to its sales, which have been increasing little by little based on an impressive advertising effort by Apple. They know it's a product Much harder to sell than others since sales figures are forwarded.
Already in itself, the Apple Watch reached the smartwatch market almost three years after the rest of the brands and proof of this is that while we have a single version of the Apple Watch, other brands such as Samsung already have more than 5 different versions, yes, none of them has had the success that the little ones with the bitten apple are reaping.
I personally, being the owner of a Apple Watch Since day one of its launch in Spain I have noticed that this device is not being as popular as others may be and that my own acquaintances do not keep asking me about its usefulness every day since they do not end up seeing the sense of a relatively high outlay of money for what it is.
It is clear that the use of this watch in the case of the Apple Watch is evolving right now. We are in watchOS 2, version two of its operating system and with it came many new features that make the Apple Watch more versatile. However, we all see that this watch has more potential and that in future versions of both the device and its operating system will be able to really see its usefulness in daily life.
Now, Apple is aware that it cannot play the same game with an Apple Watch as with an iPhone in terms of being releasing a new version every year and it is that users "would pass" from being annually renewing a device of this class.
As this whole topic is in the limelight, the Kantar US company has taken to the streets to interview more than ten thousand people in order to be able to carry out a popularity report of the Apple Watch, which would have a positive impact on its current sales. as future. When asking about the Apple brand, they have realized that more than ninety percent of those asked know it as well as the Apple Watch. However brands like Google or Samsung get a little more than thirty percent in terms of the knowledge that the population has about their smartwatch models.
On the other hand, this company asked users if they think they have to have a smartwatch to which A staggering thirty-three percent believe that they don't need a watch with their mobile phone, and more than thirty percent no longer use a watch in their daily lives.
Despite all this, Apple is the company that has brought its smartwatch closer to users and is that as it has happened with the iPad, users prefer an Apple Watch to any other smartwatch.
Known for sure it is and a very smart move was to put Apple Watch on it and not iWatch, with the name you advertise Apple and the product, although at this point who does not know that if a product has the "i" in front of it, it is Apple's not What world do you live in, and with iPods, the "i" was closely related to expensive but quality. It is also true that the rest of the manufacturers do you a favor with the lurching they give and how unfinished the first generations were, now they more or less all look like a watch and not a Casio calculator (which in its time was also quite iconic). Particularly every time I see the Apple Watch I imagine it round and then if it makes me want to go to the Apple Store and, if I could, spend the pasture that would be quite justified as it is fully functional with the iPhone but I think that in terms of design the Moto 360, the Huawei Watch and Lg Watch R or Urban is the right thing to do. Apple thinks and does differently but in a watch I think they should have differentiated it in a more subtle way, as they well know how to do. In addition, the design is also part of the advertising strategy, different from what the rest of the manufacturers have so that it is better known, that is where the subtlety has come. From what I have read, the Google app for iOS is quite limited, but I still find the other watches more attractive, and I don't know if they will update it by giving it more functions such as the Health app (complicated with co **** es) or will remove Google Fit for iOS. What I am sure of is that if it were Huawei or Motorola it would release an app for the iOS with all the functions, in fact Google Fit coexists with Moto Heart (or something like that) in this way you do not depend so much on Google and you facilitate the exit of your product for the millions of iPhones out there. From the reviews that I have read, an excellent step forward in the rest of smartwatches is being able to carry the screen on all day or more with the watchface, you can have several watches without changing it, and not turned off or turned on with the movement, in addition that they already have a better focus on the product and the few uses it has. For me a point very in favor is the discretion since you can carry the mobile in silence and without vibration and find out about calls or notifications (another thing is that you read it or answer the call on duty, but at least it does not bother) and An excellent approach is that if you answer from the watch, do it by voice or for quick answers and another is the health info that with a good app could serve as a database along with analysis for a good diet and exercise plan (flexible and not alarming) individually as each person is different. In addition, years ago smartphones were also seen as unnecessary or wasteful and for a few fewer years you prefer to have a smartphone rather than a mobile and a GPS for example.
As the previous comment putting Apple Watch on the watch was a strategy to sell, its software could not be different so as not to fall into the so-called fragmentation, which I personally agree for ease of use. As for the design of the smartwatch, some may not like others. Speaking of the software, it is another point, initially it worked perfect, despite its limitations, they updated it to watchOS2 and everything went to hell, the functionality it had disappeared, everything became unstable, worse still, the iPhone was its ally to synchronize, it also suffered its share of instability, so this dependency became toxic.
I hope that in the future they polish the software of both, and return the user experience that Apple emphasized so much.
Thank you.
