How the Apple Watch Compares to Its Biggest Competition

The Apple Watch is at last here in what has been one of the long waits for an Apple anything in the company ’s history . And like almost every product in that storeyed produce lineage , the Apple Watch enter the retail world with some steadfast competition .

But where the iPod and the iPhone were stupid well than what we had at the fourth dimension , the Apple Watch is cervix and neck with the other smartwatches and wear on the market .

So take a brief pause from the Apple Watch delirium today to actually compare the gimmick to some of the very best wearables presently out there . A simple side - by - side display where Apple Watch is much better and much bad then what we ’ve already see from Android Wear ( Moto 360,ASUS ZenWatch , LG G Watch R , Sony SmartWatch 3 ) and thePebble Steel .

by from Leontyne Price , screen resolution , and storage capacity , the Apple Watch is pretty consort - of - the - manufactory from what we ’ve see from other smartwatches , and in the stamp battery section it ’s pretty paltry .

The only picket with less battery life is the Pebble Steel , but it still gets by seven twenty-four hours on a single charge because of its Es - paper show . Hopefully hardware optimisation with Apple ’s Watch OS will help curb this alarmingly small-scale bombardment , but with Apple already saying that you should only expect18 time of day of mixed use , we ’re not have a bun in the oven much .

Overall , nothing that Apple Watch has is something that Android Wear wo n’t evenly agree in 2015 as many of these lookout release their 2d generation . But smartwatches are not just computer hardware . There ’s also these things called apps , and the Apple Watch is in reality going to have some .

Unlike Android Wear , which originally launched with only a few XII apps , Apple is decease to have upwards of 3,000 apps of vary quality and utility . Much like the iPhone , many third - political party apps will be bare shadows of their full potential because of thehardware and software restrictions that Apple inflict on developer .

Want to utilise a fitness app ? Apple is going to do everything in its power to ensure you expend the onboard app that leverage all the wear sensors and digital crown functionality rather than RunKeeper or some other choice which ca n’t . The app office bewilder even more suspicious as some developers have had their apps in a flash refuse because their app supportsthe Pebble chopine — one of the few primary competition to the Apple Watch presently .

But that competition might be produce . It ’s almost futile to compare Android Wear and Apple Watch because your phone will belike dictate what you finish up buying . But rumors say Google is planning iOS accompaniment for Android Wear . There ’s even a picture be adrift around ofFaceTime hightail it on an G Watch R. So your conclusion may soon be much harder .

The Apple Watch is n’t the wearable savior many were feverishly hoping for , but it ’s definitely not terrible ( for $ 350 ) . Like every other wearable out there , it comes saddled with its own pro and cons . Is it enough for hoi polloi to in the end take notice of smartwatches ? believably , that ’s kind of what Apple does . But rather than redefine the wearable , Apple Watch is just joining the herd .
