Re: [apple-iphone] RE: Pebble Watch 2.0 upgrade is nice in combo with iPhone

 

A lot of this depends on what Apple produces, and the quality and the user experience and price.

Based on reviews of Samsung Gears and Sony and hands on experience with my Pebble I think they are all very 1.0 at best devices with lots of warts, limitations and just serious problems.

So if they produce better quality hardware, glasses, better OS and Apps, and more stylish look and bands they can be a contender. One could speculate they do move so many units they can provide superior parts: Gorilla Glass instead of plastic, better quality cameras,metal instead of plastic bodies, maybe a flex screen instead of the way the current crop is.

These watches and fitness bands everyone has put out are
=> NOT that good <=
and someone like is using 2 devices: a watch and a fitness band and neither has everything I want although they are better than nothing I am enjoying them, but wishing the apps and feature list was better. Ideally one device would handle both needs. And wishing there were more apps and deeper integration.

There were MP3/Music players when iPods shipped, and there were smart phones (Blackberry, MS, Palm Treo, etc.) when the iPhone shipped. Being first often equates to "the pioneers get all the arrows". We will see soon I suspect.

iWatch should have happened last Christmas.  If Bill Gates had lived, it would have.  They are in severe danger of losing the lead to Android as it is.  To not have a watch yet when competitors do is just handing the technical edge and coolness factor over on a silver platter.
