I’m pretty sure you have observed the trend yourself: everyone rocks a smart-phone of some kind today. A fact that opens up an interesting new window of opportunity. And tech giants like Apple or Samsung have already tapped into it by releasing the thus called smart-watch product. I guess that we should expect to see replica watches become more smart and connected. What do I mean by that exactly? Let me explain.
Smartwatches are basically mini-computers that go on your wrist. They will connect to your Smartphone and will send to your watch notifications for calls, text messages, and social media. There’s the possibility of choosing a bracelet or strap that can be easily swapped out thanks to a clever click system.
Secondly, they will be packed with sensors capable of measuring blood pressure, pulse and counting how many steps you’ve taken since you left the house. This watch’s strong point resides in finesse and refinement. Smartwatches are apparently a big deal, particularly since the mighty iPhone maker has joined the ranks with their Apple Watch. And here’s my list of watches which I think will make a debut soon enough. 
Take Tag Heuer for instance. An iconic watch producer, Tag Heuer is already ahead of the pack with their recently released Tag Heuer Connected smartwatch, the company’s unique attempt at intelligent watchmaking. They tell you the time, date, month, and year just like any regular watch but they also come with a twist.
Android Wear (a smart watch-optimized version of Android) is running onboard, thus means users will be capable to swap watch faces and themes by a finger swipe (among other cool things like having access to different apps). Do I see future Tag Heuer watches being capable of running Android Wear? Once again, yes I do.
Many Chinese low-cost smartwatch manufacturers have been capable to tap into Android Wear and I see no reason why watches manufacturers wouldn’t be capable to do the identical and continue to keep costs low. Even though I’m writing all these articles and reviews, I have quite a few gens myself and I encourage you to mix them up together as well.
But Tag Heuer isn’t the merely Swiss watch-maker who has dabbed into the ever-expanding world of tech. Another luxury watch pioneer, Breitling is currently offering the Exospace B55 Connected. The almost-smart watch is mainly aimed at pilots and features both digital and analog displays. Now, this model is not a 100% smartwatch per see, but borrows some features and puts them to fine use. The B55 makes use of Bluetooth LE to connect to a Smartphone, which allows users to add functions such as setting a second-time zone, alarms, and reminder vibrations.
Tag Heuer and Breitling aren’t the mere ones who have dabbed the seas of smart watchmaking. I could really see myself switching from digital to analog on a stunning Breitling and I’m really hoping replicators will be looking to try something new in 2020 in terms of features. Hodinkee also has a very fine-looking smartwatch called the Withings Activate, while Movado also offers two models, the BOLD Motion being powered by HP technology.
I think in 2020, manufacturers should really think about reinventing their core product by adding new functionalities. Do I see something like this being applied to watches? Yes, I do, and let me explain why. Tag Heuer replica watches could be upgraded to allow users to run apps or open hotel doors (like the Apple Watch).
I might be overexcited here, but I can’t wait to see what watch replicators come up with next. What are the watches you look forward to in 2020? One of the biggest events in the watch world, the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie is currently underway, which got me mussing over the future of watches and the improvements that might come out of the industry this year.
