Smart Watch is a hot topic nowadays, but these devices are still not massive popularity, how long the industry’s pre-dawn darkness and there is no uniform view.
smart watches from the market positioning point of view, can be divided into two categories: one only need to connect the phone to play a central function, and those who are not dependent on mobile phones, which itself can be seen as a compact smartphone. A.I Watch it belongs to the latter.
AI Watch is a equipped with a SIM card slot smart watches, in case of need to connect the phone to make and receive calls, supports 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM bands, and supports 3G. Here is the introduction of this device video:
AI Watch has aluminum casing, providing a variety of colors strap options. From the appearance of a single hardware speaking, very reminiscent of iPod nano 6. Unlike most of the smart watch market, AI Watch although the use of Android 4.0.4 system, but the main interface designed into the Metro style. A.I Watch configuration and main functions are as follows:

current AI Watch developer launched on the Indiegogo funding, funding for the $ 100,000 goal. AI Watch the price set at $ 279, close to the Samsung Galaxy Gear 299 dollar price.
Prior to this, there are also some watch manufacturers will be made independently of the smart phone devices, such as Androidly and inWatch.
Androidly few by the Indian and British guy building, essentially a smart phone running Android 2.2, can be inserted into the SIM card and receive calls.

inWatch reflected by the China’s interest in technology is introduced, without attachment can make and receive phone calls, send and receive SMS.

Why do we have copied cell phone?
smart watches two different positioning to some extent reflects the manufacturers of confusion, in other words, there is not a definite shape to lead the trend of smart watches, recognized by the market. Smart watches available in the market are basically the phone “handicap” replica. Mobile phone manufacturers are trying to migrate to watch most of the features.
However, the “small” battery and small size of the screen determines the smart watches birth defects, but also determine its specific application scenario is different from the phone. Rote result is bloated and experience to make a poor product.
same as the iPad change the world
iPad does not completely replace the PC, but let some of the features on the PC has become more relaxed, comfortable, easy to use, such as the Internet, watching videos, casual games. In other words, iPad just replace a part of the PC, coupled with its own light, etc., they had their own market position and customer value.
smart watches the same as the iPad may also wish to change the world – replace the phone part, this part of the functional interpretation of a more clever, natural, smooth.
be substituted instead of the phone, SMS
at least the short term is not. The current smart watches are not effective then hit a comfortable calls, send and receive SMS.
smart watch phone is replaced should be “living under the former with a variety of cable services in the butt.”
In my opinion, smart watches the ideal scenario is currently equipped with an NFC chip (Bluetooth or otherwise) to get transit subway card, cycling lease, hotel occupancy, room cards, membership cards, payment and other living services, hand a close to the terminal to complete the exchange of data, without the need for cell phone from his pocket. (Involving complex operations can be set on the computer, the data is synchronized in real time to watch)
way, smart watches do not depend entirely on the success of the watch itself. Watch manufacturers need to talk “monopoly resources” below the line agencies to build infrastructure.
