Will.I.Am, A Music Producer, Develops Smart Watches.

When I was in Alan Carr: Chatty Man recently, I was a famous music producer. Will.i.am His latest project has been revealed: Intelligent Watch 。 From the on-the-spot demonstration, this is a beautiful black equipment.

In an interview with the host, Will.i.am said, "I don't use cell phones anymore. I use this stuff. This is my cell phone." Then he knocked several times on the touch screen of the device and activated the volume key.

He said: "many smart watches need mobile phones to run, and my watch does not need mobile phones, it is cell phone itself." Will.i.am then clicked several times on his "cell phone", and the device began playing its own songs.

According to the limited demonstration video, this device is similar to Google's recent targeting from the interface. wearable devices The Android Wear system was introduced, but Will.i.am did not disclose the specific specifications of the device.

Some people think that this smart watch is only April Fool's joke, but has been confirmed by Will.i.am, a musician who is keen on technology, and then confirmed by Twitter that he will soon launch this device soon, and the launch date is expected to be in July.

"I started the company myself, and I provided funds to use my own money to develop it." Will.i.am said, "this is a mobile phone, which contains all the music I created." Will.i.am also said that this device can connect Bluetooth headset, and support functions such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

Motorola did not disclose too many parameters and details of moto 360, but wicks's demonstration in front of the camera showed that moto 360 could really run, not just a lofty ambition, which made many people aspire to have a moto 360 smart watch.

Circular dial

Wicks emphasized the circular dial of moto 360: according to my inaccurate calculation, he said at least 1000 circles. The purpose of a circular dial is to enable users to accept this concept, rather than selling them something they are not familiar with. Wicks said that 85% of the watches are circular dial, and people also preset the watch to have a circular dial. Wicks also points out that the design of the circular dial shows a long history.

"We will push this technology to consumers, not the other way around. We will not try to make consumers change for this technology. "

This view is very reasonable. Most smart watches nowadays think consumers will find their intrinsic value, but Motorola is designed to reduce barriers to entry by consumers. Familiarity may be the best way for smart watches to enter mainstream consumer groups.

Materials and comfort

Similarly, the moto 360 team wanted to make the equipment with high quality comfort materials to make it easier to accept, so they chose stainless steel and natural leather strap. Users can also change their watchband. Wicks also mentioned that different styles of bracelet will be introduced to adapt to smaller wrist. Wicks said it was convenient for users to change the strap of moto 360 smart watch, but did not indicate that it would be compatible with the existing watch strap. This made me wonder if they would use patented connectors between watchbands and watches, just as pebble did for pebble steel.
