This is the first question, and it is also the last question. Recently, it is really many kinds of smart watch is released. This is just simply a part of the many types. 

So let's look at the smartphone. 

Wow! In addition, many kinds of smart phones really are on sale. Do you have a smartphone? How often do you use it? Every day, every hour, every second....

So let's talk again about the Smart Watch. Let's look one of the most expensive smart watch of them.

The Smart Watch is the Moto 360 produced by Motorola.

Let's me see the Features of Moto 360

Oh.. sounds looking good. But...

- Classic design : Why? Because people like to classic watch type? Personally I can not understand. 

- Craftsmanship : Okay, What's different with common wristwatch packaging? 

- Timely updates at a glance : I can also check it by my smartphone. 

- Responds to your voice : My smartphone also acts well hear me out. 

- Recharges when you do : Of course. But Let see see Battery Life of Technical Details. 

  'Battery: Battery Type: Lithium Ion / Capacity: 320 mAh / Battery Life: up to 2 days'

So that mean Maximum 2 days. In my experience, that mean if frequently used it, max. 1 day less. 

You said. It is a watch. What any watch had to charge every day? Do I have to wear a different watch to check the time while I was sleeping? 

I had purchased a Sony Smart Watch about four years ago. What did it different? I really don't have an idea.

Those just are getting more more expensive, better looks like watch, and it is possible to measure the heart rate. Only that.

I purchased a smart band and heart rate band to give about 30 dollars recently(including shipping). And I do not wear a watch. Because I can see a time convenient on my smart phone. Recently released smartphones have almost had most of the sensors. Of course heart rate sensor is an exception. 

Why I writing this article?

Because I think their gotcha a wrong concept of the product. I do not like the name of the Smart Watch. It's not smart.

It's just stupid watch. What is the purpose of the Smart Watch? Fitness? Bio-signal measurement? Or I am a looking good?

Do you know that your smartphone is already available almost all these features. 

Moreover, if you have a Bluetooth headset, Your smartphone will help you in the voice inside your bag.

Look at that price. Be not less wicked than, Apple Smart Watch is an almost astronomical amount. It is a toy not only uses a single day. 

Innovation? There was no innovation.

Novelty? There was no novelty. It is really horrible abomination. What's more, it is not easy to use. Apple Watch would not call it a smart watch them-self. 

What are the problems of these smart watch? 

The answer is simple and clear. Why need it? For what? 

Most existing smart watch had unfocused questions purpose. 

You can be possible if you have Bluetooth headset, smart band and heart rate band with your smartphone. Without regard to the activities and constraints... Above all, cheap!!!!

First. Smart Band.

I recommend this. MI Band. This is a product of Xiaomi.

It's pretty cool price. Just $17.43(and free shipping) 

This maintains the use of more than about one month with one time charge. 

Android phone, iPhone, All fine! (But must support Android 4.4 or above mobile phone with Bluetooth 4.0)

What can you do with it? 

Phone calls to remind, Sleep-cycle smart alarm, Fitness monitor & sleep tracker, Unlock your Mi phone without a password, App alarm, Water resistant(Slightly vulnerable water resistant, especially when take a shower, but it's okay because of cheep product)

Particularly impressive feature is recorded sleep and wake up time. It is amazingly accurate. 

Currently I am recording my sleep by a sleep app. I am writing a research paper on the basis of data for recent days. The Sleep App support to sleeping data downloading. But MI band does not support any of data download. Walking, Sleeping, all of data. In any case, the US band is providing sleeping with only the graphics data(If compare Sleep app and MI Band App, It look like prank level.) It also provides data for the deep sleep and a shallow sleep. But did not check the reliability of the data.

After all, this MI Band is worth more than I thought.

Second. Incredible ultra-low power consumption.

I fully charged after receiving the product, I did not even once charging Xiao Mi band ever. Currently I have a vibration set for the various alerts, E-Mail, Phone calling and including social networking notifications. Typically, vibration function is performed many times or more a day. 

I was charged 19 days ago. And the current battery level is 69%. That mean from now on I will be able to use without charge for more than 20 days. 

One of the really interesting feature is sleep time measurement. I have a sleep disorder. So I have a interested about it. I am measuring my sleep using my smartphone since before I use Xiaomi Band. I sleep with a smartphone next to my head. And the app will measure the vibration of my activities while I sleep. The app can be exported sleep recording to Excel file. And I have to analyze its. Unfortunately, Xiaomi does not provide data export capability. But I think the possibility is enough. 

Xiaomi Band measures the sleep using a polysomnography (reference). Of course, the algorithm must be very different between Xiaomi and I using the App. 

Another important reason,

It is for the charge.

This is a cell phone battery that I used in the past. This battery is a typical lithium-polymer batteries used in mobile phones.

You will be able to easily see the corroded battery terminals on the right. No more comment about the charge.

However wristwatch type is directly exposed to the skin directly. In other words, must be considered the human physiology. 

It is sweat. 

About 99% is water, but the remaining 1% of sweat has including ammonia and salt...

In other words, perspiration is one of the biggest threats to the metal. Ammonia and salt..!!! It will also be aware of the people with allergic reaction to metal.

If you do not consider that,

   

You just bought an expensive toy that uses few months. 

Generic manufacturers think that make best products. But there is a man does not exist. 

Good design?

Names and natures do often agree?!

Not always....

in conclusion,

I would like to ask. Why do you insist on a watch type? Or look like watch?

There is a lot to say, but my English is so horrible so I want ends here.
