SMARTWATCH OR A CLASSICAL TIMEPIECE?

Wearable technology is becoming increasingly popular product on the market, so it is not surprising that large companies such as Samsung and Apple brands create their valuable line of smartwatches.

Showing the date and time aside, these modern watches have extravagant features, such as a reception SMS, email, and even photography. These pieces are ideal for technology lovers who want to be always connected to the Internet and accessible to other people.

With the huge popularity of these new watches, many people wonder whether they will replace the valuable silver, watches and all those other types of luxury watchmaking skills. The truth is that smart watches have a lot of advanced features, but it does not mean that they have the same value as a classic, elegant gold watch. We think it is a struggle that will last long, and present you with a list of pros and cons of both types of watches.

1. Battery life

When we talk about battery life, it is quite clear that the classic watches are the winners in this round. Because of the small bodies, smartwatches in them have only a small lithium battery. Due to its numerous functions, they need to be charged every day. If you are a person who possesses the tablet and smart phone, it can be a bit problematic, because it requires another free power supply outlet in your home. Classic watch, in turn, requires a change of batteries every few years, while many of them have self-winding mechanisms that can last forever.

2. Style

Taste and style can not be discussed. The smart watches are a bit more attractive to a younger target group, because they’re amusing. Straps of Samsung watches are available in various colors. They are the perfect accessory for young people who want to be trendy. While Apple clocks have elegant and minimalist style, they still do not have that aura of luxury that Audemart Piguet Royal Oak Grand Complication offers. Classic watches are designed to be true companions and feature of a gentleman who wants to show how powerful he is, but in a subtle and elegant way.

3. Functionality

A classic timepiece is designed to complement your outfit and as an expression of your style, and of course as a device that shows the correct time. However, modern watches do much more than that. These devices are a continuation of your phone. You can connect it to your social networks and receive notifications in real time. Also, it can notify you about new messages or email, and they are mostly equipped with fitness tracker to follow the progress of your workout.

Verdict

All in all, the new, modern watches, as well as those classics have their advantages and disadvantages. New are intended for younger generations who love new technology, while the other are aimed at older gentlemen who have a real sense of style and elegance. What do you think about that?
