Wristwatches for Android

If you need to be aware of all the events taking place in social networks and know how many letters came to work mail, but it’s inconvenient to walk, having bumped into the phone, there is a way out - a wristwatch on the operating system Android. This device works in conjunction with the phone and serves not only for hours, but also as a conductor between a smartphone lying somewhere at the bottom of the bag and a person, for example, riding behind the wheel.

Electronic clock with built-in operating system Android are a multifunctional device that works both by itself and together with a smartphone on the same operating system. Smart-chronometers usually include the following functions:

• receive sms and calls (text display on the screen and the ability to accept the call);
• control built into the smartphone player;
• alert about changes in social networks (which are set in the settings of a specific application on the phone);
• GPS tracker;
• fitness tracker (pulsomer, pedometer, calorie consumption);
• update applications;
• voice assistant.

• Device design. This is not so much about the appearance, but about the convenience - a removable belt, rubberized case, degree of moisture resistance. The removable belt can be replaced in the event of a breakdown, the rubberized case is not scratched and is pleasant to the body, the moisture resistance of the IP67 or IP68 level allows you to swim with the clock.
• Display. It can be based on electronic ink (as in readers), or it can be a full-fledged color, like on a smartphone. The brighter the display, the more expensive the watch.
• Battery capacity. The average time of working hours on one charge is about one day. This is due to the fact that the small case does not contain a capacious battery. Therefore, the simpler the display, the longer the clock will work without recharging.
• Charger connector. Be sure to pay attention to this. Usually there is a standard microUSB, but sometimes the manufacturer completes the watch with a personal connector. This is fraught with painful search for a suitable charger if the “native” fails.
• Smartphone connection. Each manufacturer offers to "legit" the watch with the phone via Bluetooth, but not every type of connection will save the charge of the smartphone. Please note that the link is the latest version 4.0 or higher.
