Is the Apple Watch Worth the Wait?

BANGALORE, India - March 16, 2015 - PRLog -- The newest addition to the Apple’s line of technology is the much awaited smart watch. It boasts about its multiple features such as running a huge number of apps, make audio recordings, receive and send calls and messages,  listen to music and most importantly it can act as a remote to all the smart devices in your home. The watch’s multiple functions, such as swipe and glance, voice activated controls and more make it seem like a combination of multiple smart watches with individual functionality.

The watch allows you to keep your contacts closer and strengthen your communications as this watch easily connects with the apple iPhone and other apple smart watches. For first times, the watch can be a confusing interface considering its multiple swipes, twist, turn, click and tap functions. However, in the contradictory, the watch will also lessen the efforts of making communications.

Above all, the Apple watch is sure to become a style statement for many considering the sleek look it presents and the elegant sophistication it carries. However, its 18 hour long functionality did not seem to impress the masses a lot and its highly priced factor left people bringing out both positive and negative reactions towards the same. Simplify360 conducted a comparative analysis of the sentiment shown by people about the watch on various social media sites.

The watch however managed to remain an interesting topic of discussion by acquiring 1.3 million mentions over all social media platforms in just a matter of 7 days. Among all the places which featured the watch, news coverage clubbed with videos accounted to 2 % of the entire share. “People showed very high interest about the Apple Watch, but not many seem to be excited. Looks like, they are going to wait and watch before making the purchase decisions. Apple fan boys are also blaming Tim Cook for poor show, and are not happy with Apple not naming the product as iWatch” said, Bhupendra Khanal, CEO at Simplify360.

He added, “Interestingly Indians seem to be more enthusiastic about the product than Americans. With the Indians’ ever increasing discretionary income, I won’t be surprised if this becomes first major tech product to get massive hit in India before any other geo.”
