Apple Watch is the newest addition in the wearables space and will come with a number of built-in sensors such as accelerometer, a heart rate Monitor, a gyroscope and an NFC chip. Plus the Apple Watch will have access to other sensors via the connectivity with iPhone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.simplybpm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/23f49cc.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2216 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.simplybpm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/23f49cc-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Apple Watch\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wearable smatwatches have been in the market for over an year. Samsung Gear released last year was a disappointment. Pebble looks good and has some good features, but still lacks a lot. I also tried the FitBit for a few months, but it was very limited with just the one function, charging and also syncing using that USB adapter can be inconvenient at times.<\/p>\n<p>Apple Watch seem to have addressed most of these concerns and packed in a lot of features and options for developers to work with. The feature I like the most is the ability to use Apple Pay via the NFC. Also, it can replace my FitBit and probably some more remote controls. I will be eagerly waiting to get my Apple Watch.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Apple Watch looks very promising and should be a game changes for the whole Internet of Things (IoT)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week Apple announced the Apple Watch which will go on sale early 2015.
