Get Smart

So I got my first 'Smart watch'. This is the VeryFit Heart Rate. The 'watch', or rather, fitness band, has several functions in it, mainly, steps tracking, heart rate tracking and sleep pattern tracking.

Firstly, it's not really accurate, it's so-so. For the price (cheep) I am fine with that.. at the very least I can track how many steps I've taken per day, and how my sleeping is, in a very general.

Does it replace my watches? Heck no... I wear the VeryFit on my right hand (my wristwatches go on my left). 😂

My Thoughts on the Apple Watch




So Apple finally debut a smartwatch... and I am blown away by the simplicity design, which is classic Apple.

Take the straps and bracelet for example, they are so simply designed and yet easy to change out or resize....  I was adjusting the bracelet on the watches a while back and it was a pain in the fingers, literally, to do so. And that you required tools and a hammer.... while Apple made something that you just a press and clip, with no tools. Bravo!

The computer for the Apple Watch is also amazing, being "computer on a chip" and I am wondering if that module can be upgraded for the future.. honestly speaking, I haven't even look into the software part of the Apple Watch I'm sure it can do so much more, but I am amazed by the straps alone here, and the health monitoring parts are really interesting too, something my doctor probably telling me I need.

Casio and other smartwatch companies should take notice..

Will I buy it? Nah... not now at least... take a look at the title of this blog... poor man's watch blog.... it's a bit expensive enough alone and considering I don't have iPhone to pair it with, so the short answer is no. But it is sometime I would like to own.

Also: the battery life is what make or break this... I wonder if they are solar, just not announced?

My favorite combo is this one, look how the deployment buckle fit seamlessly! :
