Smart Watches, Who Wants to Buy?

​
People all around the world impressed about what this smart watches can do, most of much Apple’s presentation of Apple Watch and impressed by it, but we are willing to buy? According to the new research from “Juniper Research” ; currently people aren’t willing to pay money for this watches, most of them considered these watches are extremely expensive also, personally if i willing to pay $10.000 to a watch instead of Apple’s golden i watch i prefer to buy a Vacheron Constantine or a Tag Heuer.

In this survey company asked 2000 smart phone owners in the USA and In the UK, are they willing to buy any of this smart watches, only one in five responded they can give more than $175 on any kind of the smart watches. After the Apple Watched released smart watch numbers that people bought go up but still even this numbers not enough for Apple’s expectations of these new category. Also Samsung is not happy about the number of the sales.

Apple Watch which starts at $349 considered to be coolest one in this category, but staff the magazines who had chance to test this watch – they get watches for free of course- said this device doesn’t worth more than $349, if you just want to use it for your fitness track, you have many options that way more cheaper than Apple Watch. 80% percent of the people who had a chance to test it would not recommend people yo buy this watch. For me one of the useful use of this watch is that, it can track the heart rate of the people who has heart disease, and watch can track their heart rate and if something wrong watch can contact with the doctor of the patient and give a info about his/her heart rate.
Still I can’t say they are totally not useful but they don’t fulfill the need of everyone like phones, but it is a improving new technology and in time I believe they will improve and will be much more desirable for many people.
