Modern-Day Features
Pairing

smartphones to take calls, send
texts. Watches often rely on
smartphones for full functionality
Modern-Day Features
Fitness
Line between smartwatches and fitness trackers is
blurring as heart rate monitor, GPS, athletic band
features are becoming more common.
Modern-Day Features

easier to navigate. Many use
a combination of touch and

Today’s marketplace
Specification
Auidences for smartwatches are
commonly targeted. Many are
designed for specific athletic
purposes to track miles, laps, and
heart rates (Fitbit) Ex - the TAG
Heuer Aquaracer for sailors in the
2013 America’s Cup.
Pricing
Simpler smartwatches (original Pebble, LG G Watch)
cost around $100. Higher end watches, like the Gear
S, can cost upwards of $400. Apple Watch will be
$350
Marketing
• Pairing, health features are the main
selling point of smartwatches today
• However, physical size of
smartwatches is often large, bulky.
• Design is often not precieved as
fashionable and has hence not
disrupted traditional watch markets
• Battery life can be an issue. As more
functions are added to smartwatches,
battery life decreases.
• Demand and success are hard to
predict (similar to netbooks or Google
Glass), making development difficult
Discussion
• Do you see watches as a way to tell time or more of a
fashion accessory?
• Would you buy a smartwatch? Why or why not?
• How do you think Apple will impact the smartwatch
industry?
• Do you think smartwatches have the potential to ever
replace the standard wristwatch?
