Foreign media Analyst: Smart watch cannot escape failure

The editor's statement: Jack Gold, founder and chief analyst of J.gold Associates, the US market analyst, recently wrote that smart watches may not be a success, but analysts say that does not mean that all wearable equipment will eventually fail, Perhaps we should have a different understanding of such products. The main contents of Jack Goude's article are as follows: Nowadays, almost everyone thinks that smart watch will be a big important equipment in the future, and the industry is constantly rumored to have been busy building their own smart watches with technology giants such as Apple, Google and Samsung. But it seems to me that the idea of bundling smart watches with mobile phones will ultimately fail. In this sense, the phone is simply used as a remote screen and input device. There is no denying that there are certain users who want to buy a smart watch so they don't have to take their cell phones out of their pockets or watch their phones frequently. But for most users, if they already have a smartphone, buying another expensive device may be superfluous. In fact, a truly useful and transparent success of the technology, will certainly be favored by users, but the smart watch is remote display and smart phones, the combination of such devices face a very different fate. Obviously, the money that attracts users in this way will work. Of course, if we adjust the expectations of smart watches, perhaps smart watches will also be a great success. For example, we need to adjust our understanding of the functions and concepts of smart watches. We should not think of smartphones as copies of smartphones on our bodies, not as remote displays of mobile phones, but as a personal sensor network that may be more valuable, and users will be willing to earn money to buy them. This sensor network should be able to monitor our physical health, tell us where we are, how much calories we consume every day, and monitor our blood pressure, blood sugar or oxygen, and many other data of health value. Most importantly, such a smart watch should also be able to show us the relevant information. Therefore, in my opinion, the industry's discussion of smart watches has not talked about the actual function of the equipment. Of course, the old adage that if we think of smart watches as sensors rather than a communications device, perhaps the device will be a huge success in the future. Therefore, we should not regard the smart watch as a communication device, but also forget its function as the remote display of other devices, these are not the future direction of smart watches. Smart watches may fail in the long run, but wearable technology can be a huge success. Chip manufacturers can also create new wearable devices by combining built-in sensors with processors, a move that can not only prosper the market but also create value for users. (Niuniu)
