10 Ways Wearing An Android Watch Will Change Your Life

Revolutionary inventions

Android Watches are the new kid on the tech scene block. Forget about having the snazziest new phone or the most souped-up tablet – these smartwatches are the new symbols of techie cool.

But while smartwatches are undeniably awesome, some of them are just… not the prettiest to look at. They’re cool, definitely, but their aesthetic is meh. Some just look like glorified, clunky, mini-computers attached to a strap, and that is so not attractive.

However, all that has changed.

One of the latest watches on the market is the Huawei Watch, and this one is a beauty. If you’re looking for the prettiest smartwatch available right now, this is it. It’s slim and slender, with a round watch face and stylish straps, and it actually looks like a watch.

Other than the fact that wearing it makes me feel like a fashion-forward tech superstar, here are 10 ways an Android Watch will change your life.

1. Track your phone down easily

Have you ever misplaced your phone, tried calling yourself in order to track it down, then realised that your phone was on silent so calling it is useless anyway? That’s not a problem with an Android Watch. You can use your watch to call your phone, and here’s the coolest part – it bypasses the silent mode. This function is a godsend.

2. Receiving notifications has never been easier

Rather than having to hold your phone in your hand when you’re expecting an important message, just wear your Android Watch. It’ll notify you with a buzz when a message comes in, and you can easily scroll through notifications and reminders without taking out your phone.

3. Rummaging through your bag is a thing of the past

This is something I’m sure every woman, and some men, can relate to – digging in your bag for your phone. I’m very good at spending what feels like half a century trying to unearth my phone. With an Android Watch, you can receive notifications, check calendar appointments, and even reply texts using the watch. You don’t really need your phone at all.

4. Take calls handsfree

Picture this – you’re on a crowded MRT, just listening to music and doing your own thing, and suddenly you receive a call. Instead of trying to get your phone out of your pocket and elbowing several unsuspecting commuters while you’re at it, just tap your watch and answer the call instantly.

5. Open apps with just a swipe of a finger

Okay, so admittedly the smartwatch has a constraint- you can’t really use it to type out long messages, but it can help you along. After receiving a notification on your smartwatch, you can swipe to open up the app on your phone, allowing you to respond to your texts quicker.

6. Track your steps

Most Android Watches come with a pedometer and a heart rate monitor, so you can count the number of steps you’re taking every day, or even monitor your heart while out on a run! This function makes tracking your fitness almost thoughtless. Get one step closer to that beach bod.

7. Listen to music while you run

I only take my phone with me on a jog because I need my workout jam, but it’s rather clunky to carry around while hitting the tarmac. The latest Android Watches have the ability to cache up to 4GB of songs on your smartwatch. All you need is bluetooth headphones, and you can leave your phone at home while still having your music on the go.

8. Have a watch for every mood

I like being able to customise things, be it my desk at the office or my laptop case. With an Android Watch, you can have a watch for every occasion just by changing the watch face. Most watches come with preinstalled faces for you to choose from, but you can also download or buy more from the Google Play store. For example, the Huawei Watch has watch faces that resemble those of expensive watches, as well as one that I think resembles a fried egg and is adorable.

9. Getting a new phone? No problem

Here’s the beautiful thing about Android Watches – they work across both Android and Apple operating systems.You can use your Android Watch with an iPhone, so there’s no obligation to stay with a particular brand or system just because you don’t want your watch to become obsolete.

10. Make a style statement

With streamlined designs and classy watch straps, smartwatches are far from being the clunky, bulky inventions of yesteryear. The Huawei Watch, for one, is slim, stylish and looks perfectly at home on my wrist. Combining function with fashion, Android Watches nowadays are as much a style icon as they are a tech device.

Wearable Tech: The Next Frontier

Smartwatches have come a long way from the clunky devices of yesteryear. I love the new streamlined designs and all the nifty things they can do, like measuring my heart rate and sending silly emoji to my colleague.

The real selling point of this new breed of Android Watches, like the Huawei Watch, is that it combines fashion with function. They’re gorgeous, they’re useful, and they certainly make life easier because I wouldn’t need to turn my desk upside down in search of my phone when it gets buried under all my papers.
