Which one do you prefer between Moto 360 and Apple Watch?

The  Apple Watch seems to be the most popular smart watch in the world the moment it was time to market. Afterwards more and more well-known tycoon of the mobile phone participated in this wearable markets. Now as the world class brand in the field of Android wear, new Moto 360 is coming.

Before we jump in, keep in mind that the phone you own might make your decision for you. The Apple Watch requires an iPhone (5 or newer) and the Moto 360 needs an Android phone (running Android 4.3 or higher).Also remember that there are various styles to choose from for each watch.

Plop these two smart watches down next to each other and one of the first things you'll notice is how much bigger the Moto 360 is. Apple made the smallest advanced smart watch we've seen: it's around the same size as Pebble Steel, but with much more going on inside.

Want specifics? Okay then, the Moto 360 is 10 percent taller, 28 percent wider and 10 percent thicker than this 42 mm Apple Watch.

The Moto 360's size does give it one advantage: that big screen. The Moto's almost-round display (see that cut-off point at the bottom?) is roughly 69 percent bigger than the Apple Watch's screen.

The Apple Watch does have better screen quality. It's noticeably sharper (a 302 PPI pixel density vs. 205 PPI for the Moto). The Apple Watch also has better contrast and richer colors. But the size of the Moto's display, combined with those narrow bezels, still gives it an immersive quality that you don't quite get from the Apple Watch.

Both watches' software centers around notifications and quick access to other glanceable information that you'd normally whip out your phone to quickly look at. Google's Android Wear takes the simpler approach, with its UI revolving around flicking through Google Now cards. The Apple Watch OS has a more complicated focus, along with more of a learning curve.

The Apple Watch and Moto 360 are both available now. Which one do you tend to buy? 

The Second Generation of Apple Watch Is Coming

Some news from Korean media showed that the second generation Apple watch didn't change a lot when compared with the first generation Apple watch. However, Apple has decided to make a transformation in the inner framework of new Apple watch. What's more，Apple planned to devote more to the capacity of battery in the second generation of Apple Watch. 

According to the website gforgames, Apple    planned to cooperate with LG and Samsung to develop thinner OLED display，which will perform better in displaying when exposed in direct sunlight. 

After Apple watch was launched,there were a great number of people who complained that Apple 
didn't prepare them a circular screen. This time users may feel disappointed again because some 
inner information revealedthe second generation of Apple watch may stay the same with the present product. But it will add a face-time camera to implement video calls and phonetic transcription. 

Now it is widely accepted that Apple watch will be launched next year. And Apple claimed the new watch may not rely on the iPhone, running independently.

Hot Apple Watch Leads to Large Quantity of Doubt

According to the report of J-CAST NEWS, Apple smart watch just landed on the Japanese market for less than a month. However, much feedback started focusing on “too hot to wear”.

Several days ago, sales associate of Apple Watch replied that it wouldn't get hot unless charging. Actually there have been many discussions appearing to prove Apple Watch isn't fit for wearing on the wrist. Especially after the Apple Watch is charging, users of Apple Watch have to take measures to cool it down.

Meanwhile, some professionals claimed, “the capacity of Apple battery isn't sufficient so as to lead to emitting heat.” Though they explained the cause of fever, the truth is still confusing and annoying. So what’s wrong with Apple Watch?

Apple watch was on sale on April 24th, 2015. Originally Apple Watch appeared in a perfect way, which was equipped with various functions, such as heart rate measuring, listening to the music and downloading diversities of Apps. What’s more, if connected with iPhone, it can function to the full and almost becomes a micro-computer.

    

Nevertheless, so much discussion about the hot matter spread out online rapidly. “Apple Watch is too hot to wear.” some people said. Other people evaluate it in Twitter like this: after charging, the Apple Watch is so hot that shop assistant shook all the way to cool it down. Otherwise a few people even said they began to worry how to wear it in summer. “It is too horrible to wear it to make a nap.” Besides, quite a few people stated it is strange to wear the watch which needs charging.

The journalists of J-CAST NEWS sought advice from exclusive shop of Tokyo. Those shop assistants claimed the matter of fever above all didn't appear. And they explained the matter of fever may be related with charging. In their opinions, Apple Watch may get hot if not in dormant state.

So any way, safety is the most important. Once you buy an Apple Watch, you may be careful. Do not ignore the matter of fever.  

Will High Price of Apple Watch Scare Consumers?

Previously the price of Apple Watch has been widely discussed. The cheapest Apple Watch also needs 349 dollars, higher 33% than competitor Pebble Time Steel. Actually the price of Apple product is always higher than its competitors. So the price shouldn’t be the focus, what we are supposed to pay attention is if high price of Apple Watch will hamper the development of Apple Watch.

As a matter of fact, we can discover the marketing situation and structure from the strategy of Apple Watch pricing. Though part of android device is not cheaper than iPhone 6, the price and positioning of Android devices are lower than iOS devices.

Diversity of Android and uniqueness of iOS

In the market of Android smartphones and Apple Watch, consumers have variety of choices. Apart from Android flagship mobile phones, there are also plenty of mid-to-low-range mobile phones, such as Nexus 5, Moto G, Moto X, HTC Desire Eye and so on. Compared with iPhone, they save a lot of money for consumers. Although iPhone 5 is also flagship phone when it comes to price, actually it has become mid-to-low-range level judging from the size.

Consequently diversity of Android devices has a great advantage over iOS, and it cost quite less than Apple products. Nevertheless, this situation seem not be copied into smart watch markets. Though users can have more choice from Android devices, they still fade next to Apple Watch in the aspect of appealing to fans of iPhones. For contract consumers, the diversity of Android dies away when they are willing to but the combination of smartphones and smart watch.

Soft wares system should also be taken into consideration except devices. Here we want to discuss application program and media content. Probably many users has spent much in APP Store, so users will consider again when faced with Apple Watch. However, it won’t bother much to spend more to maintain familiar sustainable ecosystem if users really want to buy a smart watch. If more and more Apple Watch application program appears, users have to expend continually, which is an important issue for Apple users.

Potentiality of sale

In addition, we shouldn’t ignore that Apple has large potentiality in pricing power. Thus high price is not a problem. Nowadays Apple has developed a kind of fans culture, these fans are more willing to buy Apple products even with more money.

As a consequent, there is a little possibility that users will keep away from Apple. For Android devices, the price may be the key factor to affect purchasing power of users. But for Apple, how to maintain eco stage and products style is the most important thing.

Apple Watch is coming soon

Apple watch will be officially released in April 24th. Will you buy one?

Apple Have Claimed That It is Not Supported to Buy Apple Watch in Physical Store

Apple has released the launch date of Apple watch this week, which will be on sale in April 24th. And it emphasized all Apple Watches have to be ordered online in advance.

At present, it is unaware that how long such restrictions will last for. There is a possibility that Apple won’t cancel these regulations forever. In other words, all Apple Watches in physical stores are still need to be ordered in advance. Apart from retailers, consumers also can purchase online and wait for delivery.

Some experts think such measures could help Apple better to control the stock of goods and to have consumers more aware of when to receive their products. In addition, it can help consumers to know more about the features of apple watches. Maybe Apple hopes users could have a comprehensive understanding of all choice about apple watches including spire lamella and models.

There are more personal and fashionable elements in Apple Watch. In terms of this, Apple may make more guidance for people who are still unfamiliar with wearable devices. Consequently Apple may not expect consumers to buy apple watches directly through physical Apple stores.

What we should pay attention to is that consumers can’t buy products from physical stores even though they have tried some kind of Apple Watch. Users still have to order online and wait for delivery of pick up by oneself after it has been sent to one retail store.
