Iphone 6 watch. Clock for iPhone

With purchase Apple Watch it's still difficult for us. Meanwhile, the market continues to replenish with smart watches under Android control wear. But they cannot be connected to the iPhone ... You can!

The rapidly developing smart watch market is leading to a daily popularization of miniature devices that can partially save you from having to constantly reach into your pocket in order to read another email from a spam mailing list or a message “about the best service taxi in the city. The lion's share of smart watches are running an operating system that flatly refuses to work with the competing iOS platform. The conference will take place on May 28-29 Google I/O, on which the platform barrier can fall and Android Wear will finally make friends with iOS.

Anyway, if you're a fan Apple smartphones, dream of buying a smart watch, but the price tag on the Apple Watch scares you away, you can try a fairly simple solution for connecting an Android Wear smart watch to an iPhone, for example, or.

Note. Alas, a number of functions on a smart watch will be limited, and their operation may require a smartphone running Android (a smartphone is also needed for initial setup pairing an Android Wear watch with an iPhone).

Pairing instructions

Keep in mind that in addition to a smart watch and an iPhone, you still need an Android smartphone to set up.

1. Install the Aerlink: Wear Connect for iOS app from the developer on the smart watch codegy.

2. You will need to install the BLE Utility app on your iPhone.

3. After finishing the installation of the application Airlink on the smart watch, launch it and turn on the item iOS Service.

You will immediately see a message stating that notifications are disabled. Ignore it and move on to the next step.

4. Launch on iPhone installed application BLE Utility. Go to the tab Peripheral.

Leave the tab open and in the meantime open the Aerlink alert on your smartwatch (if it's gone, disable and re-enable iOS support in the app - point 3 this manual).

5. If the connection was successful, you will see a notification on the smart watch:

This completes the pairing. On this stage An Android Wear smartwatch paired with an iPhone can do the following:

• display notification of incoming SMS messages, calendar events;
• relay notifications from the iPhone (all enabled Push in the Notifications menu on iOS);
• display incoming calls (it is impossible to talk through a smart watch);
• Displays the current iPhone battery charge.

Alas, the ability to display notifications, incoming messages and calls are still the only working functions at a time when there is no Android smartphone. Work cards, voice Google search and other applications that require access to the Internet will not work. There are several ways out: wear two smartphones, wait for good news on the integration of Android Wear with iOS from Google, be content with the functionality of smart watches as a “notifier” or think about buying. The choice is yours.

P.S. Many thanks to our reader for the help. Viktor Litvin.

Garmin vivo active

Literally breathing in the back of the leaders, however, another top smart watch model, Vivoactive from Garmin, falls short of the second place in a number of parameters. Water resistance guarantees operation at a depth of 50 meters, but the device is only compatible with mobile operating environments (Android, iOS), and the battery capacity allows you to work 10 hours in active use. In addition, the case design is somewhat outdated - a simple parallelepiped. Hardware indicators:

• 38 g mass;
• GPS, Bluetooth, calls from the head unit;
• alert and vibration;
• activity monitors, heart rate monitor.

The device is compatible with ConnectIQ applications, equipped with a battery that allows 10 hours of active use.

In 2015 Apple company introduced its first smart watch. Of course, many users positively perceived them. The second generation (Series 2) introduced GPS, improved water resistance and autonomy. Thanks to this, Apple has strengthened its position in the market of wrist devices.

However, no matter what OS you use (iOS, Android, or even Windows), you decided to read this article because you might want to know what else you can wear on your wrist and connect to your iPhone. Obviously, the Apple Watch is far from the only option, so there must be an alternative that suits you better and will most likely save hundreds of bucks.

In this article, we have collected best alternatives Apple Watch smartwatch. Models are listed in random order, please use the table of contents to fast transition the points.

Samsung Gear S3 Frontier

If you have an Android smartphone, then a smartwatch is the perfect choice. Samsung Gear S3, which are also compatible with iOS / iPhone (according to the instructions).

Samsung claims that the Gear S3 supports 4G LTE networks, but this feature is only available in some regions, so often users are content with just connecting to a smartphone via Bluetooth. But the device is equipped with NFC, GPS, heart rate sensor, has a built-in speaker and protection against water and dust level IP68 (you can safely dip to a depth of 1.5 m). With Gorilla Glass SR+ on the screen of smart Hours Gear S3 will never get scratches. Round 1.3-inch AMOLED display pleases the eye with a resolution of 360x360.

Smartwatches work on a proprietary operating system Tizen developed by Samsung. In this regard, it is worth warning that the choice of applications is very limited in comparison with Android or iOS. The advantage of Gear S3 is 4 GB of internal memory, which will fit a lot of music for jogging and training.

Fossil is one of the few classic watch manufacturers trying to break into the smartwatch market. The origin of the Q Founder can be seen on the characteristic stainless steel bracelet. It is quite thick, although some people like it. In any case, there is a version with a leather strap.

The watch runs on Android Wear OS, and supports not only Android smartphones, but also iPhones. The amount of RAM is 1 GB, which is at least twice as much as most competitors, so "everything flies."

Unfortunately, like the Moto 360, there's an annoying 'flat wheel' effect at the bottom of the screen. there is a light sensor (so that the display does not reflect to it). If you're not too worried about the black section, then the Q Founder is a great choice for those who don't want to wear something that's too techy.

Fossil Q Founder Price - $295

Huawei Watch

Smart watches Huawei Watch were presented at MWC 2015. They run on Android Wear OS and, in addition to Android smartphones, also support iPhone, although not all features will be available.

Similar to the Apple Watch, the Huawei Watch boasts a sapphire screen and a stainless steel case, so the device looks expensive and stylish. Huawei has opted for a more traditional round display. Although the dial turned out to be very beautiful, but the image on the round screen is not so perfect, especially when it comes to text.

Huawei Watch can count steps, monitor the user's physical activity and his pulse. On the official website, this device is described as a "smart data center" that allows you to take a look at your health status and improve your training process.

The Garmin Vivoactive HR is a GPS-equipped smartwatch designed for sports enthusiasts.

They have a square black case with two strap sizes. The device does not run on Android Wear, but on Garmin's proprietary operating system, which supports connection to both Android and iOS.

Water-resistant to 50m, the Vivoactive HR is perfect for swimming. A curious feature of smartwatches are Garmin cards with useful information for golfers, including distance to hole and parity for that hole.

By the way, the price is very attractive for a smart watch with GPS and a heart rate sensor.

Motorola Moto 360 2

A new version of the Moto 360 smart watch, which is being promoted under the same name. However, the second generation is actually impressive. Motorola also offers an online order with the ability to create the case in whatever materials you like, which is very cool.

Available in 3 sizes - 2 for men (42 and 46 mm) and 1 for women (42 mm, but the case is thinner than the men's version). Be careful with these parameters when buying.

This smartwatch lacks GPS, so it's clearly not for avid athletes, but it works on the latest android versions Wear and have one of the best designs on the smartwatch market. True, there is one unpleasant trifle - a tiny black section at the very bottom of the dial, which is needed for the light sensor to work correctly. Other smartwatches with round screens have proven that this is not necessary. This nuance of Moto 360 2 hurts the eyes if you put a white dial.

Another great Samsung smart watch model, compatible with both Android and iOS phones (according to the instructions).

We've loved the Gear S2 since day one for its unique rotating bezel. You can use the device to control touch screen, but the bezel is a great, intuitive way to operate.

There is also a more expensive Classic Gear S2 version with a leather strap.

The Gear S2 runs on Tizen OS (Samsung's own development). This system offers not as many applications as Android or iOS, but this does not interfere with everyday using Gear S2. The smart watch is equipped with a heart rate sensor and a large memory for music that can be listened to through wireless headphones(via Bluetooth), so as not to carry your phone with you when jogging.

Just like the Withings Steel HR (see below), the Misfit Phase is not a full-fledged smartwatch in that it does not have a touch screen or an electronic dial. But this device can be connected to your phone via Bluetooth to monitor physical activity and receive notifications directly on your wrist.

This watch has a very beautiful design. We also liked Misfit's companion app for smartphones.

We have reviews of several Pebble smartwatches on our site, but this company was recently taken over by Fitbit, so it went out of business. You can still buy most Pebble models, but they are no longer supported or updated.

However, they still continue to work, ie. you will receive notifications, fitness data. Plus, Pebble watches have amazing battery life. If you are interested in Pebble, then we would recommend you the Pebble Time device, as the cheapest one currently available for sale.

If you don't need a full featured touchscreen smartwatch, it can offer you a stylish design, quality build and excellent battery life.

Also, this smartwatch is equipped with a heart rate sensor and a small display to show some basic data.

Price Withings Steel HR - $190

Stylish smartwatches are a great alternative to the Apple Watch for two reasons. First, they have a round OLED screen, albeit the same size at 44mm (slightly larger than the Cupertino invention). Secondly, it's a comfortable touch bezel around the screen and a single button on the side, so you don't have to cover the screen with your finger too often.

With a proprietary OS, built-in GPS, an optical heart rate sensor and water resistance up to 50 m, the Misfit Vapor smartwatch looks very competitive. With support for iOS and Android, Vapor could very well take a share of sales from the Apple Watch and Android Wear watches.

Misfit Vapor Price - $200

You should definitely check out the Fossil Android Wear smartwatch collection, but due to outdated matrices and second-rate iOS support, we won't recommend it over the powerful Apple Watch Series 2.

We liked the Fossil collection of hybrid watches more, which can control physical activity and send notifications through vibration. All the smart features found in a classic case are developed by Misfit, which was acquired by Fossil in early 2016.

Fossil Q Crewmaster Price - $165

After the demise of Pebble, we noticed another start-up, which owns the development of amazing smartwatches.

This device boasts a colorful OLED screen with a resolution of 400x400 (pixel density: 287 per inch). Damn cool for a $199 watch, right? Although the OS still needs to be improved, but in Ticwatch 2 you will also find GPS and a heart rate sensor. In fact, this is all that most users need from a smart watch.

Ticwatch 2 price - $100

For those who are only interested in the sports features of the Apple Watch, the wrist device Fitbit Blaze could be a viable alternative. Fitbit's first "fitness watch" has all of Apple's fitness features, including notifications from standard applications iPhone, except for WhatsApp, although its support is implemented in Android.

In general, the Blaze's feature set is hard to satisfy for runners or cyclists, but Fitbit's daily activity monitoring, with an emphasis on resting heart rate measurement, pleases.

Attempts to create "smart" watches have been made for the past ten years. However, if the first models were frankly experimental, then the entry of such companies as Apple, Google and Samsung into this market is able to provide smart watches with the status of a new technological trend.

iWatch

Apple still continues the “wet it before release, no matter what” policy, which is why the new iWatch has so far only existed in the form of a mass of rumors, “leaked” data and other rarely officially confirmed news.

Nevertheless, insiders call their presentation "inevitable", especially given that Cupertino continues and continues to register the iWatch trade mark in different countries the world in recent weeks. The brand has already been registered in Russia, Jamaica, applications have been filed in Taiwan, Mexico, India and Turkey - a total of nine countries so far, not counting those where the brand is already registered.

Apple smartwatches are rumored to have a fingerprint sensor. Resource The Verge reported that the watch works on iOS, and the maximum life from a single charge is two days with minimal use. Which, of course, is not a big deal.

However, according to the latest data, iWatch will appear at least in a year, since this moment The hardware and software of this device are not yet ready for the mass market. And Apple values ​​​​its reputation too much to release an unfinished product.

Galaxy Gear

Toq smart watches use their own software, which allows the device to connect to iOS and Android smartphones. Among other things, Qualcomm smartwatch is the world's first device based on Mirasol screen technology, which allows producing displays with very low consumption.

Mirasol technology is similar to e-ink, which allows you to work with the watch in bright light, as well as save energy, but you won’t be able to watch dynamic video here due to the low refresh rate of the picture. In addition, mirasol displays do not use backlighting, but here the company has created a plug-in backlight that can be used if necessary.

To make the watch case thinner and more attractive, Qualcomm removed the battery from the watch, placing it inside the strap clasp. Thanks to the economical display, Toq can work offline for up to 5 days. The device is charging wirelessly, by placing the watch on a special docking station. Buyers will receive in the same box with the gadget not only a docking station, but also wireless headphones. The clock is built on an economical ARM Cortex M3 processor with a frequency of 200 MHz.

Qualcomm will sell Toq for $299, which is Samsung price Galaxy Gear. Pre-orders for the novelty in the US have already opened, they will appear on the market from October 10.

agent

While electronic gadget lovers are looking forward to Apple's smartwatches, a small team of Secret Labs engineers have made the dream come true with what they claim is "the world's most advanced wearable computer." Not without reason, a team of American engineers managed to raise $100,000 per day, which is necessary for the mass production of the device.

The accessory called Agent is equipped with a 1.28-inch anti-glare display that combines the advantages of a traditional LCD monitor and E-ink technologies, an accelerometer, a light sensor, a vibration motor, Bluetooth 4.0 and a wireless universal charger qi. It is enough to put the device on a special platform, and it will start charging. The capacity of the built-in battery is sufficient for 7 days of active use of the Agent and 30 days of operation of the device as an electronic watch.

Agent can be used to display data about incoming calls and SMS, interact with applications on a smartphone. The gadget is compatible with iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, Android/WP8 smartphones and is able to warn its owner if he forgets his phone.

After 24 hours, Kickstarter users have raised over $200,000, which speaks to the potential of the new watch. Among the advantages of the model - two processors with low power consumption. One of them, ARM Cortex-M4 with a clock frequency of 120 MHz, is used when working directly with the Agent, the second is necessary to maintain “life” at other times.

Pebble

Launched with a private Kickstarter donation, the Pebble E-Paper Watch is, in a way, the middle ground in a variety of smartwatches. Pebble features include the watch face itself (with several animation options), music player, notifications for incoming calls, messages and CVCs. To fully work with the watch, you must first connect it via bluetooth to your smartphone: the main settings for the watch, accounts, and other things are done from the smartphone, in the Pebble app.

However, the term "smart watch" speaks not only about the software functionality, but also, to no lesser extent, about the hardware. Pebble watches are equipped with an e-paper screen, which guarantees a fairly long (about a week) battery life and good readability of the screen in the sun, but at the same time leaves the possibility of smooth scrolling and animation, unlike the usual e-books E ink. Among other advantages of Pebble is ease of use: in Pebble you can do almost anything, except, perhaps, deep dives under water (you can just swim).

The model has been produced since January 2013, and has already managed to acquire a number of third party applications designed to expand its capabilities. It is worth mentioning the application that provides support for the Cyrillic alphabet.

Vachen

Korean designer Won Rii has developed Vachen smart watches that not only connect to iPhone and Android smartphones and notify about new emails, SMS and calls, but can also change the screen style.

The device, called Vachen, operates on the basis of an operating Android systems Gingerbread and comes with 100 watch faces that can be paired with different clothes, styles and moods. In addition, on the 1.54-inch screen with a resolution of 200 x 200 pixels, a photo of the owner or someone close to him can flaunt. Various firms and companies will be able to place their own logo on the screen and change it in case of rebranding.

Vachen supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and connects to a computer via USB interface. The designer plans to launch an online store of the same name, where the owners of the accessory will be able to create and download various screensavers for the screen. The built-in battery provides up to 48 hours of battery life.

Won Rii raised funds for the production of Vachen on Kickstarter. The accessory is available for pre-order starting at $169 depending on product design.

Sony smart watch 2

Sony Corporation was one of the first large companies interested in the production of "smart" watches. The first version of Smartwatch was released at the beginning of last year and was able to read mail, manage incoming calls and switch songs in the player.

The second modification of smartwatches from Sony was "work on the error" - that is, on the first watch, which was not perfect. What does it offer New Product in the base case? This is, first of all, support for call management, call logging, missed call notifications, reading on a 1.6-inch screen with a resolution of 220 × 176 pixels SMS, email, Twitter messages; receive calendar notifications, weather widget and view phone book. Connection with smartphones takes place via the Bluetooth 3/4 protocol.

Like Pebble and other smart watches, the device works exclusively in conjunction with a smartphone, according to Bluetooth technology. The number of applications for it, in addition to the proprietary program, has long exceeded two hundred.

Among the shortcomings of the Sony Smartwatch 2 is the glossy LCD display, which can cause problems in the sun, and the overall fragility of the device. The manufacturer claims protection against splashes and dust, but it is no longer possible to swim in it, unlike the same Pebble.

LG GD-910

The LG GD-910 is a full-fledged watch phone that was released in 2009, but is still on sale. It is little known because of its ultra-high price, but it will give odds even to modern smartphones. Many of them. Not to mention most of the heroes of today's hit list.

So, the watch phone of the Korean manufacturer offers, first of all, support for 3G (there is a slot for a miniSIM card), a touch screen with a diagonal of 1.43 inches, it is color, with a TFT matrix and a resolution of 128x160 pixels with a proprietary Flash interface, closed protective glass Gorilla glass. Chasofon weighs 84 grams and supports removable memory cards up to 32 GB.

The conversation takes place using the built-in speaker with a microphone, there is a speech recognition function, and using a Bluetooth headset using the 2.0 + A2DP protocol, that is, you can also listen to music. There is even a VGA camera for video calls, water resistance is also available - and according to the IPX4 standard. Offline work from one charge (with the help of an adapter) it is offered up to four days. Many languages ​​are supported, even Russian is present. You can dial or view SMS and email, the default keyboard is the classic "telephone" keyboard.

You can make a call and have a conversation directly with the LG GD-910.

Kreyos Meteor

The Kreyos company has focused specifically on the sports component of its smart watches, which, in principle, partly related them to sports trackers.

Kreyos Meteor can track the distance traveled, speed, calories burned and, last but not least, the wearer's heart rate. In addition, Meteor can be considered one of the pioneers of gesture control: the gadget is controlled by hand movements in space, and the gesture base, according to engineers, promises to be very solid. After setting up Meteor via Bluetooth, the gadget allows you to manage mail, calls and a music player.

As befits a sports gadget, Kreyos Meteor is built to last and, importantly, it combines protection against moisture, dust and shock with a fairly convenient 1.2-inch display. The Kreyos Meteor watch will go on sale in November 2013.

Hyetis Crossbow

How Cell phones have long been no longer limited to their basic functions, so smart watches sometimes go far from their main purpose. The Crossbow model from Hyetis could have stepped off the screen of any science-fiction about the distant future.

In addition to a completely futuristic design, the watch has a built-in 41 megapixel camera with zoom and flash, and a noise-canceling microphone. Among the "physical" features of the Crossbow are speed, temperature, altitude, humidity and depth counters, GPS and NFC modules, and a fingerprint scanner. Oddly enough, the gadget can also show the time, and in addition, display letters, SMS and weather reports on the screen. According to the developers, the watch will open its own application store, designed to expand the already rather big functionality of the gadget.

Among other advantages of Crossbow, it is worth noting durability: the watch is sealed and protected by a titanium case, which allows you to dive with it to a depth of up to 250 meters, and generally do anything extreme. By the way, for extreme cases, the watch has a manual winding that can ensure operation if there are no power sources nearby.

The manufacturer promises to begin deliveries of the $1,200 Crossbow at the end of 2013.

Emopulse Smile Smartwatch

Another futuristic gadget, Emopulse, is stuck somewhere between a watch and a full-fledged mobile computer. This watch is distinguished by its design: equipped with two curved displays, it is worn like a bracelet and has no straps or edging, which makes the gadget's active screen area comparable to a medium-sized tablet.

Other clear innovations brought by Smile to the smartwatch market include: system memory 2 GB, and an optional flash drive up to 256 GB, powered by USB and, in the future, super-fast Thunderbolt data transfer technology.

Among other elements of the Emopulse Smile Smartwatch are three cameras: for video telephony, for photos and for barcode scanning, each with its own optics designed for a specific task. Also, according to the developers, the device will be built voice assistant like Siri. There is at least another six months to think about what exactly can be ordered for wristwatches - the start of mass production is planned for early 2014.

I'm Watch

i'm Watch is made in a monolithic aluminum housing 40.6x52.9 mm in size and 1 cm thick. The dimensions of the gadget are quite impressive, and the watch will not look harmonious on every wrist. Inside the gadget there is a processor operating at a frequency of 400 MHz, 128 MB random access memory and 4 GB storage for user data.

The entire front of the device is occupied by a touch screen with a diagonal of 1.5 inches (240x240). The screen is covered with protective glass, which ensures its safety during operation, but at the same time significantly reduces viewing angles - this is facilitated by the slight curvature of the coating.

After synchronization with a smartphone - the gadget connects via Bluetooth to devices on Android and iOS - i'm Watch informs the user about incoming calls received on mobile device, allow you to read emails and SMS, view updates on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, as well as get comprehensive information about the state of the body during sports (optional sensors required).

You can control the gadget using the touch screen and a single button located on the right side of the device. To charge the battery, synchronize with a PC and connect to headphones, a standard 3.5 mm jack is used, which is located on the left side of the case.

MetaWatch STRATA

MetaWatch STRATA differs from other “smart watches” in shock resistance, first of all, and water resistance (as we will see again later) for modern and new models of such watches can even be called the de facto standard – and it is also in the “strat”.

The watch is made using polyurethane, polypropylene and stainless steel, and the device also has a monochrome display with a resolution of 96x96 pixels, which is protected by mineral glass with anti-reflective coating. The watch can work autonomously for up to one week. Although they look, in general, quite cheap.

The communication capabilities of STRATA are associated with the Bluetooth 4.0 protocol, with the help of which the watch exchanges data with gadgets on iOS and Android. These can be notifications of received mail or SMS, messages from social networks, synchronization with weather applications and a calendar ... The asset also includes control of music playback, an alarm clock or a timer. Eat preinstalled applications for running and cycling, and the SDK for widgets and applications also provides access to the operating system of the gadget, which is very original.

Of the unusual features, we can note the “Lost Phone Alarm” function, which reminds with the help of a vibration alert about a smartphone forgotten somewhere. The MetaWatch STRATA watch will cost $200 after the release.

The Apple Watch offers great sports tracking capabilities, but with Vivoactive 3 Music, it's aimed at multi-sport addicts. It will cover running, biking, and more through its Connect IQ store. It will even cover gym workouts with the addition of rep counting. Garmin Pay has been added to the suite, allowing you to make payments from your wrist, and improved notification support, which now allows you to reply to your messages. Now it offers built-in music player and the ability to download offline playlists from Deezer.

Battery life is top notch, and the new circular design is a huge improvement over its Vivoactive HR predecessor.

Tag Heuer Connected Modular 45

Yes, it's the most expensive Wear OS watch in a short distance, but if you want a luxury smartwatch on your wrist, it doesn't get much better than this one.

The second connected tag looks like a classic beginner tag, with top-notch build quality and plenty of impressively detailed custom watch faces. Wear OS keeps things going, but it definitely takes up more space in the back than the Wear alternatives from LG, Motorola, and the company. With NFC and GPS on board, you're in control of what you need.

Too big? Instead, you can drop 4mm with the Tag Heuer Connected Modular 41.

Keith Spade New York Scallop

A sign that smartwatches for women are getting better, the Kate Spade New York comb is as gorgeous as it gets. The 1.19-inch AMOLED display is housed in a 42mm chassis, making it the same size as the larger Apple Watch, but the Scallop has a much prettier design.

What you don't get is a lot of features - especially the fitness department lacks them if that's important to you - but what it promises, it does well. You have Wear OS and all of its standard features and apps, plus a host of watch faces designed by Kate Spade to give your watch that extra touch of personality.

And for the price, the Scallop remains affordable for regular user smart watches - not limited to luxury price category, like the aforementioned Tag Heuer watch - and keeps it competitive with the Apple Watch.

Also, just remember that the new Kate Spade smartwatch is on the way and includes Google Pay, GPS, heart rate and a swimproof design.

Skagen Falster 2

Skagen is debatable the smartest wrist watch Fossil. It has a sporty minimalist, classic look that will appeal to those who like a more streamlined appearance Apple watch. It has a 40mm case which is similar to the Falster in many ways, but there is a big difference here.

Falster 2 is packed with features. From GPS to NFC to heart rate, it's all here for you. And with interchangeable 20mm straps, you can change from something more comfortable for the night to something more harmonious for training.

There is one not so good detail here: the heart rate sensor is not reliable. However, the Falster 2 is one of the most beautiful and smart watches you can buy.
