For the past few years, there has been a tremendous transformation when it comes to wearable technology. For instance, in 2014, a report released by an independent research organization showed that approximately 6.8 million smartwatches were sold in that year. However, in 2015, more and different versions of smartwatches haven been introduced and sold across the world, especially by big players like Apple.
“Currently, the market consists of all types of wearable devices that come in different versions, sizes, and designs and with many other features,” said technology and telecommunication expert, Issa Asad Florida entrepreneur. Mr. Asad is also the CEO of Quadrant Holdings and Q Link Wireless, located across South Florida.
In today’s business world, smartwatches are one of the most essential things for entrepreneurs. Smartwatches assist with these 3 things:
1. Time Management
Time plays a key role in the business sector and it’s usually what determines the success of a business. Since time is money, most entrepreneurs often try to allot hours and/or even do time blocking for specific tasks on a daily basis. However, with a smartwatch you will be able to prioritize your daily activities and also be able to keep track of your time through smart reminders and apps. For instance, Android Wear is integrated with Google Calendar. This device can also help you manage your time while traveling. Google Now app has a great feature that monitors traffic conditions via Google Maps – while at the same time giving suggestion for the best routes to get you where you are going on time. It basically offers more in terms of time management.
2. Productivity
As a small business owner or entrepreneur, productivity is the most crucial thing that determines the success of your business. A smartwatch can help increase productivity by making you productive throughout your working hours. For instance, Android Wear comes with a great, unique feature, making it a necessity for every entrepreneur or small business owner. For instance, Android Wear integrates well with Google Now through its unique, customizable push-notification service is specifically designed to make the user more productive. Google Now is a great app that can act as your personal assistant, hence making you productive. Previously, this intelligent app was available only to Android Smartphones. It’s actually designed to notify you with all the most relevant activities that you should handle. Apart from Google, there are also several other Apple Watch and Android Wear apps, which can increase your productivity through timely reminders and notifications.
3. Fitness
Fitness is another reason why it’s very important to have your own smartwatch. This device can also serve as a good pedometer or fitness tracker, enabling you to keep fit. Most of them come with built-in sensors, which tie in with relevant apps to help you achieve your desired fitness goals. In most cases, many entrepreneurs tend to work for long hours and this can lead to health risks. Even though you may use ergonomic chair or standing desk, the most essential thing for your fitness as a small business owner is a smartwatch, especially one from Apple. The devices enable you to stay fit while working by simply showing how often you move around, the amount of calories you have burned, and many more. The fitness app helps you stay active and focused throughout the day.
