If you ask me, the smartwatch market may still be at the beginning, but it has a lot of potential. As you may already know, tons of different tech companies are putting in incredibly large amounts of funds in order to finance the production of different smartwatches, as they are also aware that in a couple of years, this particular market may even overpower the smartphone market.

However, as good as some smartwatches may be, there still is something that doesn’t quite fit. If we go ahead and think about smartphones, there have always been some clear differences in between them. The phone market started out with bulky devices, evolved to coloured screens, phones then got smaller and then they eventually got bigger as more and more features were added. However, regardless of this well calculated evolution, there are still budget phones which barely have a camera or any smart feature, but also top of the line models that still have major differences when compared with one another.

With this example in mind, while the smartwatch market is definitely on the right track right now, if I wasn’t a fan of them, chances are that I would have no idea if there’s any difference between them. In my opinion, this fact does tend to raise a couple of questions. What is the next big thing for smartwatches? What should companies do in order to achieve market supremacy?

Well, the next big thing for smartwatches may be design for all styles. There are people who simply love the look of a traditional watch and can’t bear to wear a computer on their hands. Perhaps spending some time in order to make sure that the computer we’re talking about doesn’t really look like a computer may have a certain beneficial effect. This was just an example, but there are also those who like retro designs, or those who like to stay as simplistic as possible. There needs to be a choice for all these people and companies should invest and actually create multiple models of the same idea to fit all styles. Think Nokia for example. Does anyone know the names of half of the phones that they have created until now? No, but they are still very popular, even in the smartwatch world. The same principle applies to Samsung and other companies from all around the world.

As in for what companies should do to achieve market supremacy, perhaps they should add more features to their devices. I still haven’t seen a smartwatch that ‘binds on pickup’, that only works if it is touching the person that it is set up with, or a smartwatch that also has a tiny hologram screen. Perhaps a smartwatch which would not have any physical button would do the trick. Perhaps a bigger battery life may make a difference.

What do you personally think about the state of the smartwatch market so far? We are all aware that it is on the right track, but there are certain tweaks that should be made. Do you agree? Let us know in the comment section below.
