The Smartwatch Device Evolution

The smartwatch device market is gaining momentum. A number of players are joining the race. Among them include Sony, Nike, Seiko, Garmin, Motorola, LG, Hyundai, Pebble, Samsung and others. Samsung, Sony and Pebble have the lion's share of the market. Innovation and development in the smartwatch is taking shape and today's smartwatch is equipped to do much more than when the first smart watch was introduced by Seiko in 1982. Pebble's smartwatch for instance can;

Monitor and track body health: You can track your body activity using apps such as, Runkeeper, Runtastic, Movable, and Let's Muv installed on your smartwatch, for information about steps, sleep patterns, calories burned and so much more.
Text messaging: The e-mail to SMS app takes advantage of email-to-text services by cellular providers to deliver short emails to mobiles as SMS messages. The Email to SMS app enables users create a few pre-written texts—such as "In a meeting!" or "Driving now. Will text you later"—that can be sent directly from the watch.
Check sports scores: The ESPN Pebble app makes it possible to get a quick glance at NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, NCAA Football or NCAA Basketball scores.
Act as a remote camera shutter: Your smartwatch can quickly be turned into a camera shutter for smartphones and cameras using a Pebble app. Similar features are also available on smartphone cameras through watch apps like PebbleCamera, Pebble Snap and PebbCam, among others.

Shake to get Yelp recommendations: If you're looking for loads of Yelp listings to evaluate, you'll still want to use your phone or laptop for that. But when you need a quick pick for a restaurant or bar, just open the Yelp Pebble app and shake your arm for a nearby recommendation.

Samsung smartwatches have taken the market by storm. Realistically the gadgets are sleak and with a very beautiful cosmetic look. Samsung's recent Gear fit, Galaxy Gear and Gear 2 Neo smartwatches are the hottest selling from the Samsung brand.
