Start the competition of Apple Watch vs Android Wear

After the announcement about the new Apple Watch, the world of the smartwatch has become heavier, and it is not for less because Apple added to its device really interesting features, and the competition must take into account many aspects if they want to maintain the leadership of the smartwatches.

Apple Watch vs Android Wear

The Apple Watch is not yet on the market but we must be sure of something: the competition will not be easy for the iWatch.

Design

There is already a diversity of models of Android smartwatches, however, Apple made its appearance with a model where hundreds of users have responded to the design as "ugly and outdated".

Something that must be clarified is that Apple presented its smartwatch in two sizes, something very well thought out and that leaves below (for the time being) the competition.

How does Android Wear respond?

One of the drawbacks of android wrist watch is that it is available for a variety of device manufacturers, in this sense each manufacturer designs and molds to their liking and, no one has been concerned with making a customizable wear for different dolls.

Mobile Payments

Of the novelties presented by the Apple Watch is the ease of making payments in some stores simply by tapping the watch against the payment devices allowed. In addition, Watch will allow access to Passbook to manage your different cards or tickets.

The form of electronic payment (through a smartwatch ) is nothing new, Google has already tried to implement it in their devices, however, it has problems, because many companies have conspired against Google Wallet. Security flaws pursue Android.

If Apple intensely introduces your new payment method, you may press Google to improve your Wallet service.

Applications and new technology

In the presentation of the Apple Watch, he highlighted: the accelerometer, heart rate, and its new operating system.

Apple Watch integrates an accelerometer, GPS, and other technology in order to monitor any type of physical movements such as standing and sitting. This information is used to know the daily activity, make suggestions on health matters and even know when a goal has been met.

Thanks to the infinity of developers for Google, there are Android applications that control the physical state, heart rate and other parameters of users, if we must clarify that applications for Wear do not control the physical state of the user at the same level that Apple has put on your device.

Communication

The speaker and microphone of the Apple Watch will allow users to answer calls from their phone (even many think that they are working on an integration with OS X). To make matters worse you can create drawings and send to other users, or respond to voice messages, etc.

Google Wear does not include speakers (at the moment), so phone calls are left out. While it is true there are excellent features in the device, Wear has work to do in terms of communication.

Battery

Apple has not yet revealed the characteristics of the Watch's battery, however, it is said that the clock's charge will last all day and a charge will be received with a wireless device.

Google Android Wear, on the other hand, offers a variety of options, the battery of the Sony Smartwatch 3 is 420mAh (and the largest known so far). If Apple wants to boast of a good performance you must overcome this mark on your smartwatch.

With Apple nothing is defined, if the launch is until next year, there is still plenty of time for Watch to improve in terms of software and so on.
