First Smartphones, now Smartwatches – No thank you?

First Smartphones, now Smartwatches – No thank you?

If you plan on wasting your money, then buy the latest smart watches and you’ll realise that you’ve wasted your money in the best possible way. No kidding!

Do you own a smartphone? Do you like the perks and convenience it offers? Are you happy with your phone? If you answered yes to the questions, then you definitely don’t need a smartwatch. The relatively new gadgetry basically has all the features of a smartphone but with a catch. Actually, your smartphone performs better than these enlightening yet perhaps-hopeless gadgets.

Isn’t it enough that companies have got their customers hooked onto buying a new model smartphone every year but now they offer these gadgets that cant even work as standalone gadgets? They have to be linked to the phone’s data connection, which actually doesn’t make much sense.

I’m happy enough with my "classic" Citizen analogue watch.I find it quite easy to monitor my daily activities from my phone in the pocket. I think the wearable devices must be given some time when developers can come up with stronger products that offer more than just keeping track of physical activity.

Considering the debate going on over usefulness of smart watches, for now, they might just be limited to controlling homes’ gadgets and appliances right from your wrist. Other than that, there doesn’t seem to be a good enough reason to spend money on smartwatches.
