Blog 20: Apple watch vs. Android watch

I researched on Apple watch and Android watch. Both Apple watch and Android gear offer many good functionalities; time functionality, interface, voice control, app friendly, multiscreen functionality, fitness and health monitoring, heart rate sensor, water proof, and smartphone compatibly. Both batteries can last up to 3 days. However, it may vary by manufacturers. For example, sony smart watch is good for 2 days, but some android wear devices struggle to last a day. Only differences I found were design and price. Apple watch has a square screen and an extensive alternate wristbands. Android devices have round-shape screen, but they provide opportunities for customization. In addition, the prices are vary by manufacturers. For example, even though they all have similar function, android gears are in range of $200 to $350, and apple watch starts from $350.

I would say if you are using an i-phone, then buy an apple watch, and if you are using an android, then buy an android gear. Because apple watch only works with i-phone devices and android gear only works with android phones. If you are trying to buy a new phone and watch at the same time, then I would recommend you to get an android smart phone and gear, because there are many android gears that you can choose. On the other hand, apple watch only has one. There is no other choice to choose. In addition, throughout the research, a person who used both android gear and apple watch says that android gear is easier and simpler than that of apple watch. Therefore, if you are not good at technology and machine, then I would recommend you to buy android gear. Furthermore, android products are also much cheaper than apple’s product, even though their functions are similar. I would recommend you to buy android gear, because the functionality is as good as apple watch while price are cheaper, and android gear allows you to customize the design.
