You can now call from your watch on Android Wear

Google has added Android Wear support for mobile calling. This means that in the near future on this platform will be produced watches that are completely independent of the smartphone.

The first watch to support calls will be the LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE introduced today. In a watch without cellular modules this function will not appear, it will be implemented only in new models.

Android Wear is not the first watch platform with support for cellular communications, Tizen has this feature, which some Samsung watches work on. Samsung back in 1999 had a watch to call from - the SPH-WP10. The batteries in them were enough for two hours of talk.

Soon we will all become James Bond.

Samsung is preparing its first application for iOS, which will allow you to use the “smart” watch Gear S2 with iPhone

Samsung's Smart S2 Gear S2 is now available for purchase in Russia. Unlike previous models, the new product can work in tandem not only with South Korean smartphones, but also with any devices running Android 4.4 and higher. As it became known, in the future, owners of the iPhone will be able to use the device.

According to the SamMobile resource, Samsung specialists are working on a companion app for the Gear S2 smartwatch, which is designed specifically for the iPhone. It is noted that Gear Manager will be the first software product of the South Korean brand for the iOS platform.

Gear S2 is Samsung’s seventh wearable device since the launch of the first model and the first since the Apple Watch in April this year. It can be seen that Samsung paid special attention to design. And the point is not in the round display, but in the fact that the device as a whole is not like the previous smart watches of the company. Gear S2 is made of metal. The gadget has a round screen and a rotating bezel: it has the functions of scrolling, scaling, adjusting, switching between applications and others.

Gear S2 received a Super AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 3 protective glass. The screen diameter is 1.2 inches and its resolution is 360 x 360 pixels. Available Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 modules, GPS receiver, heart rate monitor, support for wireless charging and Samsung Pay payment system.

The watch is presented in two versions - Sport and Classic. Both models have a stainless steel case and are able to track the user's physical activity, his sleep, pulse, oxygen content in the blood and interact with the elements of a smart home.

The release date of the Gear Manager app for iOS was not disclosed. However, we can safely assume that this will happen much earlier than the second-generation Apple Watch. After all, Samsung needs time to lure users of Apple smart watches to their side.

Note that Samsung Gear S2 is sold in Russia at a price of 20 990 rubles - for the main version and 24 990 rubles - for the classic version. Prices for Apple Watch in Russia start at 27,990 rubles.


More recently, less than two weeks ago, I (vladfionov) on our forum posted the Samsung application for these most smart watches Gear S2:Samsung Gear.

Apple Watch began to cost almost twice as much in Russia than in the USA

Attached Image

Apple has raised prices for its smart watches in Russia. In the US, they have fallen in price.

The cheapest Apple Watch model now costs 29990 rubles in the Russian online store. More recently, it was sold for 27,990 rubles (2,000 rubles cheaper). It is possible that the price increase is associated with a change in the ruble exchange rate. A month ago, the dollar was worth a little more than 61 rubles, and now they are asking for about 70 rubles (an increase of 11.5% per month).

It is noteworthy that in the United States on the eve of the festive season (Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year), some stores reduced the price of Apple Watch. The most inexpensive model has become cheaper immediately by one hundred dollars and now it can be bought for 259 dollars. At today's rate, it is 17,900 rubles.

What is it: crisis or greed?

Apple Watch outperforms iPhone in some ways

Attached Image

Apple's vice president of technology, Kevin Lynch, told Mashable about Apple Watch's advantage over the iPhone. According to him, Apple smart watches show time with an accuracy of 50 milliseconds, and this is the “gold standard” for expensive mechanical watches.

Lynch said that such accuracy is achieved using several technologies. Apple has several servers around the world that use a satellite system to track time and receive information from the US Naval Observatory. It, in turn, measures time based on monitoring the orbital system. In addition, a function is built into the watch itself that makes sure that the dial does not lag behind and does not outpace the real time.

Lynch says the accuracy of the time display on the Apple Watch is four times higher than on the iPhone. And all because it is a watch, not a smartphone. But why so much accuracy?

Along with the cumulative updates of iOS 9.3 beta 1 and OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 El Capitan beta 1, the first beta version of the new watchOS 2.2 smartwatch platform was available for download on Apple's website. With the release of this beta, developers have access to new tools for creating applications for wrist products.

Updating watchOS 2.2 beta 1 will allow developers to create software running on Apple Watch easier and faster, as well as use sensors and the Digital Crown wheel. Programmers have access to a complete set of tools, compilers and frameworks, including the Xcode IDE and analytics tools.

Starting with the second version of watchOS, as you know, you can create software for smart watches that works directly on the Apple Watch. Prior to this, all third-party software was processed on a smartphone, and the clock was only an external control and data display module.

In addition to new development tools with the release of watchOS 2.2 beta 1 and iOS 9.3 beta 1, you can now connect multiple instances of Apple Watch to the same iPhone.

The watchOS 2.2 firmware will be available to everyone after testing is completed. But developers can start testing the firmware now.

At Fit CES 2016, Fitbit introduced a Blaze smart watch with a built-in fitness tracker function. They will cost $ 200 and are compatible with smartphones on Android, iOS and Windows Phone.

News with a great description:
Fitbit introduced Blaze sports smart watch

Fitbit has announced the new Blaze sports watch. Although the design of the device resembles a regular smart chronometer, the device focuses on tracking the physical activity of the owner, rather than working with third-party applications.

Using the Blaze bracelet, equipped with a high-resolution color display, you can track the number of steps taken and the distance traveled, count the number of floors when climbing stairs, and monitor sleep. Like other devices from the manufacturer, Blaze can notify you of incoming phone calls by displaying the name of the subscriber.

In addition to the list of functions of simple fitness trackers, Blaze is able to give personalized recommendations on training and monitor heart rate during the day. To do this, we use our own technology using LEDs to track changes in the volume of blood in the wrist. Of course, the accuracy of measuring the pulse on the wrist will be lower than if the sensor was located on the chest, but for more active people this device will be more convenient to use. Continuous heart rate monitoring reduces battery life.

In addition, the model carries a GPS module on board, allowing in addition to monitoring heart rate to track the route of a runner.

The novelty is equipped with a touch screen that provides music playback control and alerts about text messages, calendar events, phone calls. Blaze is inferior to a full-fledged smart watch in terms of functionality, although the battery life of the device is much longer - 5 days.

The cost of new items is $ 199, a version with a classic strap will cost $ 30 more, with a leather one - $ 100, with a metal one - $ 130. The tracker will go on sale in March.

Fitbit Blaze monitors 15 different parameters of the user's physical activity and sends the collected data to the mobile application, where they are analyzed and systematized. There is no built-in GPS module in this watch; they take information about the user's location from a smartphone. The battery life of the watch is up to five days.
The watch does not work on Android Wear, but on its own Fitbit platform and displays notifications on incoming calls, SMS and calendar events on the dial.

Fitbit will also sell interchangeable watchbands for this watch. A steel strap will cost $ 130, and a leather strap will cost $ 100.

Poll: what do you expect from Apple Watch 2?

Attached Image

According to rumors, the presentation of the second generation of smart watches from Apple will take place in March this year. It is expected that Apple Watch 2 will receive a camera for FaceTime, a fully independent Wi-Fi connection, and a sleep monitoring function. But what features of the gadget can force users to purchase a device or update the current generation of Apple Watch?

Picture:
Attached Image

More news text:
An independent Wi-Fi connection should free up the clock from constant communication with the iPhone. At the moment, without connecting to a smartphone, Apple Watch is able to perform only a limited set of functions - to monitor fitness activity, conduct mobile payments, play music. In the second generation, the Apple Watch should become more independent - they will be able to send messages, e-mail, use cards, etc.

It is possible that Apple will present a surprise by introducing “smart” straps for Apple Watch 2, which will allow third-party manufacturers to integrate their own sensors, batteries and other technologies.

It is possible that additional sensors will appear in the watch, and Apple itself positions its watch as a useful accessory with which you can monitor the state of your body. Now much comes down to measuring your heart rate. Well, the FaceTime camera in addition, why not.

There is no escape from the second-generation Apple Watch release, but Apple will have to work hard to make sure that users part with the money for the new device.


What do you most expect from the new Apple Watch? What function will be an incentive for you to update your device? And if you decide not to buy the original model, then what feature will convince you to purchase the Apple Watch 2?
