\u201cSmartwatch\u201d may sound like a good gag gift, but in recent months, it\u2019s become the talk of the technology town. Samsung has started marketing the first available smartwatch, and while the reviews are currently mixed, the prediction is that it\u2019ll catch on pretty fast because of its handiness. Let\u2019s look at a couple of facts about the new smartwatch technology that you should know.<\/p>\n
What is a Smartwatch?<\/strong><\/p>\n A smartwatch, currently only produced by Samsung, is basically an extension of your phone. The idea behind it is that your smartphone can be completely inaccessible, and you\u2019ll still be able to catch important phone calls, messages, and notifications without having to pull out your phone to check. As long as your phone is within 30 feet or so, the smartphone will direct all alerts straight to the smartwatch around your wrist.<\/p>\n The smartwatch is described on \u201ca mini version of your smartphone\u201d on Samsung\u2019s website. Basically, if you can\u2019t ever be away from your phone very long because of business calls, clients, and emails you know you\u2019ll need to answer, the smartwatch is a discrete, easy way to keep that connection constant to your technological, Internet-based world.<\/p>\n
