Within the past few years, we have seen the rise of the usage of smartwatches. Some people believe them to be a waste of money, while some think of them as health beneficiaries.
With numerous options available within the market, it is becoming increasingly difficult for people to decide which smartwatch to purchase. But, not anymore! Here are the 3 most useful smartwatches of 2016:
- The Huawei Watch
Also dubbed the Rolex of Smartwatches, the Huawei Watch is a gigantic improvement from the smartwatches released originally.
Why is the Huawei Watch called so? Mainly, it owes the name to the changeable 18 mm bands.
Huawei has equipped it’s smartwatch with a 1.4” AMOLED display. This display features a 286 Pixels per Inch and a stunning 10000:1 contrast ratio! The Huawei Watch’s display is protected by Sapphire Crystal, the same surface used in high quality classic watches.
Serving as the cherry on the cake, the Huawei Watch comes with an IP67 rating, which basically means that it is splash resistant and shower proof as well.
- The Apple Watch Series 2
The Apple Watch Series, running the new WatchOS 3, is frequently called a reboot of the original Apple Watch. The design of the Series 2 is similar with that of the original one.
However, it’s not all grim with the Series 2. Apple has introduced the Series 2 with waterproof features! This makes the Series 2 capable of withstanding water while you swim! However, scuba diving or deep water diving in general diving while wearing the watch is not recommended.
With significant differences than the original one, one of the major difference is the built in GPS. Which means now you wont have to sync the watch with your iPhone when going out for a run.
The built in GPS also means that the watch is now capable to make real time records of your pace and distance.
- Samsung Gear S2
Samsung’s flagship smartwatch is equipped with a 1.2 inch AMOLED, which has a resolution of 360×360 pixels. This makes it one of the best displays in smartwatches in the industry!
The display is covered by Gorilla Glass 3, which ensures that the screen doesn’t get scratches.
The Gear S2 runs Samsung’s Tizen OS, which paired with a 1GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8x26 processor guarantees a lag-free experience.
Talking memory, the Gear S2 comes with 4GB internal memory along with 512MB RAM. It is also equipped with Bluetooth 4.1, NFC and WiFi connection adapters.
The Gear S2 is highly customizable, with the ability to change the dials and straps with personalized ones.
Verdict:
Although all three are exceptionally good in their own scenarios, the Apple Watch Series 2 managed to blow consumers away. Primarily they owe their success to the new WatchOS 3, which brought revolutionary changes to the way a smartwatch is used.
