Though Apple had an easier time making huge splashes in the consumer market for almost every of their products, the Apple Watch isn't poised to become a big hit. Though numbers are scarce, all signs point to it being a bust. However, Apple has a history of being tenacious and credited for having a "never-say-die" attitude: the first generation smartwatch will used as a backbone for the next edition. Yes, you read that right: there are rumors swirling that the next installment of the Apple Watch, which we'll call Apple Watch 2, will be coming in 2017. The current watch is - hands down - the best smartwatch in the market and there's nothing quite like it. If we're going to see the next second-generation one soon, it's best to expect it to be way better than the first. Since details about …show more content…
Same screen size, new materials Unfortunately, we shouldn't expect the design team at Apple to release an Apple Watch with a circular frame, nor should we hope that it'll be larger. Though the new Apple Watch will have a few software and hardware upgrades, it might still retain its current screen size, shape, and resolution. The new models may utilize new materials like titanium and new metallic alloys called Liquidmetal. Thinner screen and a longer battery mileage If you've used the Apple Watch before, we're sure you've always wondered by the screen is rather thick. This may no longer be the case next year, since the rumor wires suggest that it will possess a thinner screen in favor of a larger, more efficient battery. The Apple Watch is already a great product in its own right, but it still needs a number of improvements to become a more prominent and a better product. Regardless, it's still a first-generation device and Apple can use the mistakes it committed - along with the users' complaints - to introduce a better smartwatch next
The notification function simply moves the vibration from your pocket to your wrist when the phone is off. Stick your iPhone to your hand with a duct tape, and you will get a similar experience, and you probably can feel your phone vibrating in your pocket anyways. The text analysis system, subjectively, is one of the most controversial and least needed functions. Where is the guarantee that it will always work correctly? Even though it suggests possible reply options, you will still have to read through them to check whether the reply is accurate; it does not save much time. Quick voice messaging is not revolutionary either – tons of apps can do that, starting from Viber and ending up with exotic (in the West) LINE. The same goes for fitness functions. As for customizable emoji’s, it is definitely not an icing on a cake that costs $700. Also, the Apple watch is as thick as the first IPhone, and it cannot take pictures. The apple watch has built in WIFI and GPS. However, the watch needs to be paired with an IPhone to even work as a smartwatch. Basically you need to pair both devices together to get the functionality the Apple Watch
Apple has its competitors, as it is expected, and they do not fall behind by much. One of its biggest competitors is the company Samsung. For years, those two companies have been head to head in the electronical world. All over the web one can find all sorts of articles talking about the conflicts of those two companies and about how they each claim that the other one took their products and just changed its name. But thankfully, those two companies are still strong (no matter how much people complain about the other one) and they both have a lot of people supporting them.

Apple and they would never let that happen (they have not done it for almost 50 years, they would not do it

Instead of Apple looking to build a product around the customer’s need, they focused on building what they wanted. When Steve Jobs debuted products like the iPad, critics insulted and believed the iPad would fail. The numbers clearly have said otherwise.

Modern pacemakers weigh less than an ounce, and they are only slightly larger than the size of a wristwatch face. In addition, they do not only have the ability to pace heartbeats through electric currents, but also monitor the heart's natural electrical activity. Current pacemaker devices include single-chamber pacemakers, multi-chamber pacemakers, biventricular pacemakers, rate responsive units capable of pacing, cardioversion and defibrillation. Moreover, due to many complaints about having to do a surgery on battery replacement which could increase the infection rate, on April 2015, multiple firms announced a new pacemaker called 'Micra' that could be inserted via a leg catheter rather than an invasive surgery. Once implanted, the device's tips contact the muscle and stabilise heartbeats. This device is about the size and shape of a pill, much smaller than the size of a conventional pacemaker and weighs much lighter. Additionally, 'Micra' has a battery longevity of 12 years and it is also leadless which is a major advantage to reduce device-related infections along with increasing the overall effectiveness of

These technologies appealed to consumers (Case Exhibit 2), and it showed Fitbit how people reacted positively to the new features, like the longer battery life. Nevertheless, competition is following along and the technology is not as rare anymore, so Fitbit can be easily substituted. Since Fitbit is already a known high-quality brand, they should take advantage of providing more useful features. Their open API (Case exhibit 1) should allow them to continue increasing partnerships with software providers and upgrade the Fitbit to have
A watch is a timepiece worn on one’s wrist fastened by a strap or band. They are a common item of purchase for men, women and children.
