OK, there might be Ipod Nano along with the fact that it can be wearable as a watch and we know that the little amount of apps can function well with that thing. It may be the same for the upcoming Android Wear which is the official Android watch from Google. Just how many precious technical watches you may want to buy? For security and better performance sake, you may probably want the Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 running some OS that is NOT Android. With the other OS on that smartwatch, it should save the battery life and improve various performance while retaining the third-party interface invented by Samsung. Speaking of performance, we don't know how the Android Wear can perform.
The common features of smartwatch should include the various Sports related apps, emails, social networking related apps, alarm clock, notification, music player and so on. Of course, having a Videos app or Photos app inside the smartwatch is like a little bit lame as it looks too small on the device like that compared to Ipod Classic or the new Ipod Nano. The old Ipod Nano can be used as the smartwatch with some accessory and that's the good thing but for the new one, it may look like the modern day Ipod Classic devices. Another thing for social networking is that you should be able to retweet, favorite tweet, like or share the Facebook post, etc. but some features like Reply may be insane on the smartwatch as they require that you type in various stuffs. It may be the same for email when it comes to forwarding or replying as if you're better off replying or forward with your phone, tablet or computer.
The Android Wear will be shown at Google I/O sometime this year.
