About Smartwatches
Smartwatches are electronic devices with functions and designs similar to traditional watches but are integrated with many modern features of a smartphone such as viewing notifications, listening to music, accessing the web, receiving calls, measuring heart rate, etc. Users often have to connect these two smart devices to optimize all features and so we should choose a watch that has the same operating system as the phone.

In terms of history, the predecessor of smart watches is digital watches. In the world, digital watches have existed for decades, some types are integrated with the calculation capabilities of handheld calculators and unit converters. However, in the past 10 years, watches with features similar to smartphones have just begun to be produced and introduced to the market.

In the era of technology explosion, not only large corporations such as Apple, Samsung, Sony have launched outstanding smart products, but some small companies also want to "squeeze" into this "lucrative" market. A typical example is Pebble. This company announced their first smartwatch in 2013 and has sold more than 1 million units.

Later, smart watches also came out with more specialized versions such as products dedicated to underwater expeditions or wrist-worn smartwatches for athletes, swimmers, etc.

So, do smart watches have any disadvantages?

In general, smart watches have almost no significant disadvantages. When wearing a traditional mechanical watch, you have to wind it up, adjust the time if it is wrong, then we need to charge the smart watch so that this device can work the next day. Another point that makes many people wonder is that smartwatches, like other electronic devices, are easily damaged when exposed to water. However, with current water-resistant technology, your watch can work well in humid environments such as washing hands, bathing, sweating. Of course, you should then take them off your hands and dry them.

Some other disadvantages of smart watches are that they are quite expensive and may not be as durable as traditional watches. Due to the many integrated features, this device also consumes more battery power, is heavier and larger than traditional watches. Finally, the LCD panel reflects a lot of light, so it will be more difficult for us to see the watch outdoors than in a dark environment.

Choose the type with the same operating system as your other electronic devices
To successfully connect to a computer or phone, your watch must have the same operating system as the two types of devices above. If you are using a Macbook or Iphone, you should continue to use smartwatch products from Apple. On the contrary, with Android or Windows operating systems, we will have more choices such as products from Samsung, Oppo, Xiaomi...

Choose a smartwatch with a price suitable for economic conditions
Currently, the prices of smart watches on the market are very diverse, from cheap, mid-range to expensive. Therefore, they are suitable for many customers with different income levels. Choose based on your financial conditions and no matter what the price, as long as we research carefully, you will definitely choose the right product.

Choosing a reputable dealer
After choosing the right product, the last thing we need to do is find out about reputable smartwatch dealers. If you can't go to the official showroom, choose reputable distributors on the market because they certainly won't trade their reputation and brand for a small profit. In addition, you can refer to other sources such as websites, social networks or people around you.
