Description
The watch exchanges data with the phone in a closed loop. After synchronization, the devices interact with each other and influence each other's functions:
- The watch's heart rate monitor transmits data to a smartphone, the application of which keeps statistics;
- a gesture or button on a wrist gadget starts the camera on a mobile phone;
- Alerts about SMS or missed calls are displayed on the watch display.
The two devices are paired via Bluetooth. Some manufacturers are experimenting with Wi-Fi synchronization, but this method is still too energy-consuming and is not widely used.

The mobile phone, which a few years ago caused the widespread cessation of the use of wristwatches, is now returning to their popularity. People with watches on their wrists are appearing on the streets again. But now it is not just a device for finding out the exact time, but a modern high-tech gadget that makes using a smartphone much more convenient. And besides, while such watches have not yet become commonplace, they are also a kind of symbol by which one can distinguish from the crowd a gadget addict, a person who closely follows progress in mobile electronics and does not lag behind it.
What benefits do the owners of these devices receive? In this review, let's look at the types and functionality of “smart watches” – what they are and what they can do. Take, for example, the COOKOO watch. It's more like an electronic gadget, but it has Bluetooth! As they said in one TV series, “With Bluetooth, people like everything much better – even hair clips!” This is not a hairpin, but a brutal, massive watch with a completely traditional appearance - a round metal case, dial, physical hands and a silicone strap. As for the electronic component - the watch works as an external screen of a smartphone - icons are displayed on the liquid crystal display built into the dial, indicating an incoming message, a missed call or the occurrence of any planned event. And during an incoming call, the watch vibrates and beeps.
Next, let’s look at the MyKronoz smartwatch. The men's are called MyKronoz ZeWatch and consist of a rectangular black glossy case and a silicone bracelet (there are three color options for the latter - black, white and bright orange). Women's smart watch called MyKronoz ZeBracelet is a round and quite massive beautiful bracelet. The middle part, where the electronics are located, is black, while the edges that cover the wrist are available in three colors - black, white or gold.
In standby mode, the screen of the device is black, it merges with the body, and, especially in the black women's version, it seems that it is just a beautiful decorative bracelet. But then there’s an incoming call, and the OLED screen comes to life, showing the green digits of the caller’s number. And you can answer him right away without taking out your phone - just press the key with a green dot on the end of the case, and you can already talk. Moreover, straight from the bracelet, for this it has a built-in speaker and microphone. And after finishing the conversation, you can turn on music from your phone player, which will play through the watch speaker. And, of course, by pressing any key in standby mode you can see the exact time. And finally, the most advanced gadget of today’s review, which came to us from Italy. To make the main purpose of the device immediately clear, it was called “I’m a watch”. And indeed, outwardly it is a solid modern chronometer made of aluminum and plastic. But as soon as you turn on the device and connect it to your phone via Bluetooth (as well as the other smart watches discussed above), you can only be surprised - it turns out that this is not only a watch, but also a very interesting device on the Android mobile operating system.
The excellent color screen, protected by sapphire glass, does not fade in the sun (something that some competitors' devices do), the brightness is sufficient to ensure excellent visibility and color reproduction, but in addition, it is possible to increase it. On the main screen of the I`m watch smartwatch there is a digital clock and application icons for calls, viewing messages and a list of contacts. But just swipe left on the display glass, and we get to an extensive application menu - there is a compass, photo gallery, Twitter, email, music, Instagram, stock prices, calculator and others. The response to touch is prompt, everything works clearly and quickly. And in addition, on the watch body there are miniature speakers that can play music from the gadget’s internal memory (there is as much as 3 GB of it!) or the voice of the interlocutor, working as a speakerphone.
And we have all this variety of 21st century gadgets in stock, so you can simply make your choice and buy a smart watch in the Nsk-Digital online store.

What can smart watches do?
It's time to talk about what a smartwatch is for. Please note that features may vary between devices. Some gadgets may be able to do one thing, while others will not be capable of it. If you are interested in maximum functionality, then SetPhone has a selection of the best smartwatches especially for you. Choose one of the devices presented in it - you will definitely be pleased!
So, an approximate list of smartwatch skills is as follows:
- Showing notifications that come to your smartphone - this allows you to read any message without removing the device from your pocket, and in some cases, also respond to it.
- Simplified operation with alarm clock, stopwatch and timer - again, no need to touch your smartphone.
- Physical activity tracking - uses a pedometer, heart rate checker and other functions. Some models even monitor sleep quality.
- Showing your location - even if the watch does not have GPS built in, the information will be taken from your smartphone.
- The ability to talk to someone - some smartwatches have both a speaker and a microphone built-in.
- Creating shopping lists - in the store you don’t need to constantly stare at your smartphone screen, just glance at your watch.
- Regularly receive information about the dollar exchange rate or the cost of oil - all you need to do is download the appropriate application.
- Showing results of football matches - there are separate applications for this too.
- Play right on your wrist —smartwatch games exist, even if they aren't as sophisticated.
- Showing the time - yes, smart watches can do that too! It is also possible to display the time of sunrise and sunset, current temperature, probability of precipitation and other information. And all on one dial!
And this is just the first thing that comes to mind for any smartwatch owner. The breadth of functionality depends on the cost of the device and the version of the operating system. For example, the latest watch from Samsung even helps with swimming - it will show you the distance traveled, the number of heart beats per minute, and also give you some tips. In general, smart watches are primarily created for those people who monitor their health.
