Comment on Apple Watch – What’s its impact? by Tal Givoly

Ed,

Good point – about the one-handed or no-handed interface. Would be interesting to see what models develop for this. We’re so used to holding a device in two hands now that I didn’t notice this. But to some degree, the left hand is stationary. Right hand manipulates Apple Watch, but the left hand must be stable serving the Apple Watch on a tray / stand… That could get tiring quickly.

Another thing I had ignored is the gift and luxury watch perspective. Some like high-end/luxury watches. For these watch makers, this might be somewhat more disruptive. I am not quite sure how large the luxury watch market is, but I believe they are more threatened by Apple Watch than other wearables and smart watches. Just like many of the eReaders suffered greatly due to the iPad disrupting the eReader category.

I can see Apple Watch easily becoming a very popular luxury watch / high-end watch / gift.

I think you’ve got it right. $350 for a Fitbit + a Timex is not going to attract a lot of buyers.

But the future potential is tremendous. I love my iPhone, but here is the problem: most of what I do with it requires both hands, and I pretty much have to stop whatever else I am doing. Imagine having a reasonable set of functions much more accessible, right there on your wrist.

I think the Apple believers wrist is used to handcuffs (i.e. Vendor lock-in)

[…] have an Apple Watch quite as urgently… I actually tried a similar / older version of this – an iPod Nano-based watch in a TikTok wristband I helpd crowdfund, and it didn’t stick. I saw little benefit in using it. My wrist is vacant and waiting for the […]

Hello dear Tal.

I came to Medivizor’s site recently and would like to convey my truly
backing of this idea.

The crowdsourcing companies like Medivizor, CrowdMed , Hello.do, HealthTap are , without doubt, the next generation of today’s medicine. The goal of life saving via crowd’s wisdom is really honorable.

We should be proud to see the Israeli company in this row, so I wish a great success to all Medivizor’s team
