SMARTWATCHES & NEWS

The five wearable superpowers

The most distinguishing feature of a smartwatch is that it can be used while walking

or moving around.

Portable while operational

Smartwatches concentrate on displays, vibrations or voice output to minimize the tying

up of a user's hands.

Hands-free use

In addition to user-inputs, a smartwatch has sensors for the physical environment.

Sensors

A Smartwatch conveys information to its user even when not actively being used.

Attention-getting

By default a smartwatch is always on and working, sensing, and acting.

Always on
