IS MODULAR SMARTWATCH WILL BE A HIT?

Modular smartphones yet can not break into the consciousness of users. So what to say about folding smart watches?

One of the most important news at this year's Google I / O data are awaited project Ara, who was supposed to bring us a truly modular smartphone allows you to manipulate the components. It is true that this feature is already available in a way tested by us, LG G5, but I do not think this is precisely the point. Another hit on the market of mobile devices can be modular for SmartWatch. But in fact this happens?Blocks is a modular SmartWatch, who went to pre-priced at around $ 330 – quite a lot for a smart watch, but it is worth a closer look into. For this amount, users will receive four selected modules, and another two if necessary increase the amount to about $ 411. So it pays to take more from the beginning. Modules at this moment are only available from the manufacturer and it is not known when he might possibly occur versions produced by independent companies. In Blocks users will find the system Snapdragon 2100 mobile Wear, 512-megabytes of RAM and 4 gigabytes of internal memory. In this case, the battery capacity is 300 mAh and the entire envelope of the watch is made of steel. Blocks display is rather standard which fits the current trends in the market for smart watches – see here a diagonal 1.39-inches and resolution of 400 x 400 pixels.

The device is equipped with a plastic bracelet available in three colors. Under the housing Besides these components, we can also find a module examining the pulse, a GPS module and a module "adventure" (although it sounds), designed to measure atmospheric pressure, humidity and temperature.

The device will go to users in the next year. I must admit that the idea itself is interesting and has a chance to open a new branch in the segment of devices ubieralnych – the only question is whether anyone at all interested in this equipment? The answer to this question we will have to wait a little longer.
