I can understand that it'd be frustrating to have a blank screen. It's surprising that Apple couldn't keep the screen on all the time like the LG G Watch series has been able to do. I get 24 hours of battery life with the feature enabled (it's on by default).
Does someone have insight into why Apple can't do what LG has been doing for a year? Is it patents, a larger battery, better software?
On a related note, I hope that someone will release an android wear watch with an epaper screen. I miss being able to see the screen easily in direct sunlight like I could with the pebble. Maybe some sort of hybrid (multi-layered) screen would be possible.
- oniony 11y agoIt would be interesting to see what Vanessa Friedman would make of the Pebble. It's still too large, as that's one of her complaints, but I imagine it won't jar like the Apple watch as. And it's pretty nondescript too.
- cgy1 11y agoMy bet would be on the smaller physical size of the Apple Watch compared to the other smart watches on the market.
- mcphage 11y ago> why Apple can't do what LG has been doing for a year Higher resolution screen, and more modern (and power hungry) processor.
