Smart watch is a touch screen-worn computer in the form of a watch. While the initial model can perform basic tasks, such as calculations, digital time logs, translations, and games, the 2010 smart watch has a more general function more closely to the smartphone, including mobile apps, mobile operating systems and Bluetooth connectivity. Multiple clocks function as portable media players, with FM radio and playback of digital audio and video files via Bluetooth or USB headsets. Some models, called 'watch phones' (or vice versa), have the full functionality of a typical smartphone.
While the internal hardware varies, most have an electronic visual display, either LCD backlit or OLED or Hologram. Some use transflective or electronic paper, to consume less power. Most have rechargeable batteries. Peripheral devices can include digital cameras, thermometers, accelerometers, pedometers, heart rate monitors, altimeters, barometers, compasses, GPS receivers, small speakers, and SD cards, which are recognized as storage devices by many other types of computers.
The software can include digital maps, personal schedules and organizers, calculators, and various types of clock display. The clock can communicate with external devices such as sensors, wireless headsets, or head display. Like any computer, smartwatch can collect information from internal or external sensors and can control, or retrieve data from, other instruments or computers. It can support wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS. For many purposes, "clock computers" serve as the front end for remote systems such as smartphones, communicating with smartphones using a variety of wireless technologies. Advanced smart watches, especially the design, battery capacity, and health-related applications.

Many of the smartwatch models made in 2010 actually serve as stand-alone products. Some serve as use in sports, GPS tracking units are used to record historical data. For example, after the exercise, data can be uploaded to a computer or online to create an activity log for analysis or sharing. Some watches can serve as full GPS watches, display maps and current coordinates, and record tracks. Users can "mark" their current location and then edit the name and coordinates of the entry, which allows navigation to the new coordinates. When companies add competitive products to the marketplace, media space becomes a desirable commodity at a smart hour. With Apple, Sony, Samsung, and Motorola introducing their smartwatch models, 15% of technology consumers use wearable technology. It is a crowded market of technology consumers who have purchasing power, which has attracted many advertisers. Expected for mobile ads on wearable devices to increase weight in 2017 as advanced hipertargeting modules are introduced to the device. In order for the advertisement to be effective on the smart watch, the company has stated that the ad must be able to create the original experience of the watch itself.
The functionality of "watch sports" often includes an activity tracking feature (also known as "fitness tracker") as seen on GPS watches built for training, diving and outdoor sports. Functions can include training programs (such as intervals), lap times, speed display, GPS tracking units, route tracking, dive computers, heart rate monitor compatibility, rhythm sensor compatibility, and compatibility with sport transitions (as in triathlons). Other watches can work with apps on a smartphone to perform its functions. They are paired normally with Bluetooth with a smartphone. Some of these work only with phones running the same mobile operating system; others use a unique clock OS, or otherwise can work with most smartphones. Paired, the clock can serve as a remote to the phone. This allows hours to display data such as calls, SMS messages, emails, calendar invites, and any data that can be provided by the relevant phone app. Some fitness trackers watch give users reports about the number of miles they've been through, hours of sleep, and so on.

History
Initial years
The first digital clock, which debuted in 1972, was Pulsar produced by Hamilton Watch Company. "Pulsar" became a brand name that would later be acquired by Seiko in 1978. In 1982, the Pulsar watch (NL C01) was released which could store 24 digits, making it most likely the first wristwatch with programmed user memory, or "clock" hand memory. With the introduction of personal computers in the 1980s, Seiko began developing computers in the form of watches. Data Clock 2000 (1983) comes with an external keyboard for data entry. Data is synchronized from the keyboard to the clock via an electro-magnetic clutch (wireless docking). Its name comes from its ability to store 2000 characters. The D409 is the first Seiko model with on-board data entry (via miniature keyboard) and displays a dot matrix screen. His memory is very small, only 112 digits. It was released in 1984, in gold, silver and black. These models were followed by many others by Seiko during the 1980s, especially the "RC Series": During the 1980s, Casio began marketing a successful series of "computer watches", in addition to its calculator watches. Most prominent is the Casio data bank series. The novelty of "game watches", such as the Nelsonic game watches, is also produced by Casio and other companies.
Seiko RC series
The Wrist Terminal RC-1000 was the first Seiko model to interact with computers, and was released in 1984. It was developed by Seiko Epson and powered by computers on chips. It was compatible with most of the popular PCs of the time, including Apple II, II and IIe, Commodore 64, IBM PC, NEC 8201, Tandy Color Computer, Model 1000, 1200, 2000 and TRS-80 Models I, III, 4 and 4p. The RC-20 Wrist Computer was released in 1985, under the joint brand name of "Seiko Epson". It has an 8-bit Z-80 SMC84C00 microprocessor; 8 KB ROM and 2 KB RAM. It has applications for scheduling, scrap, and world time and four-function calculator applications. The dot-matrix LCD features 42 × 32 pixels, and more importantly, is touch-sensitive. Like the RC-1000, it can be connected to a personal computer, in this case through proprietary cables. It's also well known for being programmable, although the small display and limited storage of application development is very limited. The PC Data Graph RC-4000 was also released in 1985, dubbed the "smallest computer terminal in the world". That's 2 KB of storage. RC-4500 (1985), also known as Wrist Mac, has the same features as the RC-4000, but comes in a variety of bright and striking colors.
1994
Timex Datalink watch, introduced in 1994. Timex Datalink Smartwatches early realized wireless data transfer mode to communicate with PC. Appointments and contacts created with Microsoft Schedule, the predecessor of MS Outlook, can be easily transmitted to watches via the flashing light display protocol.
1998
In 1998, Steve Mann created, designed and built the world's first Linux watch, presented at IEEE ISSCC2000 on February 7, 2000, where he was named "the wearable computing father". See also Linux Journal, where the Linux Mann watch appears on the cover and is a feature article of LJ Issue 75. Seiko launches Ruputer in Japan - a watch computer with a 3.6 MHz processor. It was not very successful because rather than the touch screen it used the same joystick device to include characters, such as high scores in arcade games and a small screen with a resolution of 102x64 in 4 greyscales making it difficult to read large amounts of text. Outside Japan, these watches are distributed as Matsucom onHand PC. Despite the rather low demand, Matsucom onHand PC was distributed through 2006, making it a smart watch with a rather long life cycle. Ruputer and onHand computer applications are 100% compatible. These watches are sometimes regarded as the first smart watch because this is the first watch that offers graphical display (though monochrome) and many 3rd party applications (mostly homebrew).
1999
In 1999, Samsung launched the world's first watch cell phone, SPH-WP10. It has a prominent antenna, monochrome LCD screen, and 90 minutes talk time with integrated speakers and microphones.
2000
In June 2000, IBM featured prototypes for watches running Linux. The original version only has 6 hours of battery life, which is then extended to 12. It displays 8 MB of memory and runs Linux 2.2. The device was then upgraded with an accelerometer, vibration mechanism, and fingerprint sensor. IBM began collaborating with Citizen Watch Co. to create "WatchPad". The WatchPad 1.5 has a 320 Q-240 QVGA monochrome touch screen and runs Linux 2.4. It also features calendar software, Bluetooth, 8 MB RAM and 16 MB flash memory. Residents expect to market watches to students and entrepreneurs, at a retail price of around $ 399. Epson Seiko introduced their Chrono-bit watches in September 2000. Chrono-bit watches have rotating bezels for data input, synchronizing PIM data via serial cable , and can load a special watch face.
2003
In 2003, Fossil released the Wrist PDA, a watch that runs Palm OS and contains 8 MB of RAM and 4 MB of flash memory. Its contents are built in stylus to help use a small monochrome screen, which has a resolution of 160ÃÆ'â € "160 pixels. Although many reviewers state revolutionary watches, it was criticized for its weight (108 grams) and was eventually discontinued in 2005.
2004
Microsoft released smartwatch SPOT. SPOT stands for Smart Personal Objects Technology, an initiative by Microsoft to personalize household electronic appliances and other everyday gadgets. Watches should offer information at a glance where other devices will require more immersion and interaction. SPOT Watch has a monochrome display of 90ÃÆ'â € "126 pixels.
2006
Sony Ericsson teamed up with Fossils, and released its first watch, MBW-100, which is connected to Bluetooth. This watch notifies users when receiving calls and text messages. Although the watch is not popular because it will only connect and work with Sony Ericsson phones.
2009
In 2009, Hermen van den Burg, CEO of Smartwatch and Burg Wearables, launched the first stand-alone smartphone watch that has its own sim card and does not need to be tethered to a smartphone. Burg received an award for the Most Innovative Product at Canton Fair in April 2009 Also, Samsung launched the S9110 Watch Phone featuring 1.76 inch (45 mm) color LCD display and 11.98 millimeters (0.472).

2012
Pebble is an innovative smartwatch that earns the most money when Kickstarter reaches $ 10.3 Million between April 12 and May 18, 2012. Watches have 32-millimeter (1.26 inches) 144 × 168 pixels in black and white LCD memory uses ultra-low "transflective" LCD produced by Sharp with backlight, vibrating motor, magnetometer, ambient light sensor, and three-axis accelerometer. It can communicate with Android or iOS devices using Bluetooth 2.1 and Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth Low Energy) using the Stonestreet One Bluetopia MFi stack. Bluetooth 4.0 with low energy support (LE) was initially not enabled, but firmware update in November 2013 enabled it. The watch is filled with a modified USB cable that attaches magnetically to the watch to keep waterproof. Battery reported in April 2012 until last seven days. Based on feedback from Kickstarter supporters, the developers added waterproof to the feature list. Pebble has a waterproof rating of 5 atm, which means it can be soaked up to 40 meters (130 feet) and has been tested in freshwater and salt water, allowing someone to bathe, dive or swim while wearing a watch.
2013
In 2013, the first smartwatch claim to capture the full capabilities of smartphones was put by Omate's startup with TrueSmart. TrueSmart comes from a Kickstarter campaign that garnered more than $ 1 million, making it the fifth most successful Kickstarter to date. The TrueSmart made its public debut in early 2014. Consumer product analyst Avi Greengart, of the Current Analysis research firm, suggested that 2013 might be "the year of smartwatch", since "its components are small enough and cheap enough" and many consumers have smartphones compatible with wearable devices. Applicable technology, such as Google Glass, could evolve into a $ 6 billion per year business and media report in July 2013, revealing that most major consumer electronics manufacturers are doing work on smartwatch devices at the time of publication. Smartwatch retail price could be more than US $ 300, plus data charges, while the minimum cost of devices connected to smartphones may be US $ 100.
As of July 2013, the list of companies involved in smartwatch development activities comprises Acer, Apple, BlackBerry, Foxconn/Hon Hai, Google, LG, Microsoft, Qualcomm, Samsung, Sony, VESAG, and Toshiba. Some important omissions from this list include HP, HTC, Lenovo, and Nokia. Science and technology journalist Christopher Mims identifies the following points in relation to the future of smartwatch:
- The physical size of smart watches tends to be large.
- Insufficient battery life is an ongoing problem for smartwatch developers, since the device battery life at the time of publication is three to four days and this is likely to decrease if further functionality is added.
- New display technology will be found as a result of smartwatch research.
- Smartwatch success rates are unpredictable, as they may follow tracks similar to netbooks, or they can fulfill destinations similar to Google Glass, other wearable electronic products.
Acer's S.T. Liew stated in an interview with the UK gadget site Pocket-Lint, "... I think every consumer company should look wearable.Spotable is not new... it just has not exploded in the way it should be. But the opportunities for the industry are worth billions of dollars. "
On September 4, 2013, three new smart watches have been launched: Samsung Galaxy Gear, Sony SmartWatch 2, and Qualcomm Toq. PHTL, a company based in Dallas, Texas, completed the fundraising process at Kickstarter for smartwatch HOT Watch in September 2013. This device allows users to leave their handsets in their pockets, as it has speakers for phone calls in both quiet and noisy environments. In an interview September 2013, Pebble Eric Migicovsky stated that his company was not interested in the acquisition offer, but was revealed in an interview in November 2013, that his company had sold 190,000 smart hours, most of which were sold after his Kickstarter campaign was closed.
Motorola Mobility CEO Dennis Woodside stressed that his company is working on smart watches during an interview in December 2013. Woodside shows awareness of the difficulties other companies experience with wrist-wearing technology and explains:
2014
At the Consumer Electronics Show 2014, a large number of new smartwatches were released from various companies such as Razer Inc, Archos, and several other companies, as well as some startups. Some have started to call CES 2014, a "wrist revolution" because of the number of smartwatch released and the huge publicity they started receiving in early 2014. On Google I/O on June 25, 2014, Android Wear Platform was introduced and LG G Watch and Samsung Live Gear released. Moto 360-based Wear announced by Motorola in 2014. At the end of July, Swatch's CEO, Nick Hayek announced that they will launch Swatch Touch with smartwatch technology in 2015. In the UK, the Wearable Technology Show has dà © Å © but in London and is hosting home to some of the smartwatch companies that showcased their latest models.
The launch of the Samsung S smartwatch Accessories are covered by the media at the end of August 2014. This model features a curved Super AMOLED screen and built-in 3G modem, with technology writer Darrell Etherington stating on the website's TechCrunch started looking at displays that wrap the contours of the wrist, instead of sticking out as a traditional flat surface. " The corporation started selling smartwatch Gear S in October 2014, in addition to Gear Circle headset accessories. At IFA 2014, Sony Mobile announced the third generation of its smartwatch series, Sony Smartwatch 3 powered by Android Wear. Also, e-paper watches Fashion Entertainments are announced.
