IN YOUR ZONE Apple Watch and WatchKit 11 A third party app consists of two separate bundles: - WatchKit app (runs on the Apple Watch) - WatchKit extension (runs on the paired iPhone) - Both are shipped to the AppStore via an iOS Application WatchKit API offers limited functionality You cannot read data from the watch - most important: no access to sensors You cannot even read the text you set on a label !!! The iPhone app should do most of the work while traffic between devices should be minimised
12. 12. IN YOUR ZONE Apple Watch and WatchKit WatchKit app should contain images and interface files WatchKit extension should contain the logic and perform all the heavy-lifting Long duration operations such as network requests must be handled by the iPhone app Sharing data between devices should be done via NSUserDefaults containers You can receive push notifications You can use Siri to dictate a vocal input You can use MapKit 12

IN YOUR ZONE Android Wear Notifications Handheld automatically shares notifications with the wearable Take actions within the notification(Reply, Send message, Dial number) Create custom apps with custom UI Wearable apps run directly on the device, giving you access to hardware such as sensors and the GPU. Wearable apps are relatively small in size and functionality compared to handheld apps. Users don't download apps directly onto the wearable. Sending and Syncing Data The Wearable Data Layer API, which is part of Google Play services, provides a communication channel for your handheld and wearable apps Watch Faces Watch faces in Android Wear leverage a dynamic digital canvas to tell time using colors, animations, and relevant contextual information. 15

17. 17. IN YOUR ZONE 17 Will smartwatches be a hit? YES A computer on your wrist is a leap forward. Once platforms will mature smartwatches will be able to do more. Smartwatches are within the impulse-buy range for many consumers. Anything that can make your life easier can be a success. NO: They are still geek-chic. People still prefer analog watches. Activity tracking is not enough to succeed. The technology is not yet ready. At least for a couple of years. Cannot do something that an smartphone already can. Conclusions
18. 18. IN YOUR ZONE Conclusions Smartwatches feel like they are unfinished products APIs offer limited functionality for developers Early adopters need to be very patient as battery life is poor and confusing interaction will be irritating Big watch manufactures have started working on smartwatches: TAG Heuer will launch an Android Wear timepiece with Google The Apple Watch had a good start - It will surpass the first iPhone in sales by the end of the year The smartwatch market will depend on the success of the Apple Watch: "Apples smartwatch competitors need the Apple Watch to succeed" - Ian Fogg, Senior Director @ IHS "I hope they sell millions and millions and millions of them. The more they sell the more a few people will want something different and come to TAG Heuer." -Jean-Claude Biver, CEO @ TAG Heuer 18
