Mostly Android, Pebble or iOS devices can be chosen.
The second most important feature is the display of a smartwatch. Two kinds of display are available in smartwatches. An E-paper display that is trouble-free to use even in bright sunlight. It is available in monochrome as well as colored version and its less battery consumption is an additional feature. It is called an E-ink display.

The ‘’Notifications and Alerts” feature provides maximum convenience to smartwatch users. Every smartwatch works similarly as mobile phone works. From making and receiving calls, receiving notifications, reminders, and text messages, are things that should be expected from any smartwatch. It must be checked before buying a smartwatch that will make you able to see text messages and notifications easily. Is it easy to answer the call or type text on it? And can it show the notifications for any other application such as Facebook, Twitter, or WhatsApp?
