Should I buy a Smartwatch or a Normal watch?

Smartwatch seems to be a very popular electronic device among young people today, but business people often favor traditional watches. It’s likely that many customers wonder if they should buy a normal watch or a smart watch. In the article below, JULIUS Malaysia will provide a few analyzes so that you can make the best choice.

Important things to consider between Smartwatch and Normal watch

A normal watch is a general concept of all machines whose main function is to show the time (mechanical watches, quartz watches, etc.). Whereas a smartwatch is an electronic device with a touch screen and a lot of functions.
So far, smartwatches have become one of the popular wristwatch options on the market. However, there are many factors to compare when you are wondering between the two.

Therefore, in this article, we will stand from the perspective of the buyer, pay attention to the most important things and express them in a succinct way.

Energy storage

• Smartwatch: 1-2 days must be charged to have enough power for using.
• Normal watch: battery lasts 2-3 years (quartz) or just wear and run (Eco-Drive, Automatic). Particularly with manual wind watches, you have to wind it every day.

Water resistance

• Smartwatch: Water resistance is not good enough. If it is soaked in water, it will most likely be severely damaged and cost a lot of money to repair.
• Normal watch: Good water resistance, so it’s safe to wash hands, rain, take a shower, swim, go diving, etc. Quartz watches that are heavily soaked in water are in danger of not being saved, mechanical watches (manual winding, automatic) are usually repairable, the cost is not very high.

Uses

• Smartwatch: Very versatile with functions such as displaying time, displaying messages, receiving notifications from the phone, monitoring health, tracking movement, making phone calls, connecting with smartphones.
• Normal watch: displaying time, showing fashion style, showing class.

Durability

• Smartwatch: like most electronic devices, the best lifespan is 5-8 years. Resistance to risks (fall, impact, immersion) is only average.
• Normal watch: The lifespan of quartz watches is usually 10-20 years, mechanical watches are usually used over 50 years to hundreds of years. Resistance to risks (fall, impact, immersion) depends on different types. However, affordable watches are also equivalent to good smartwatches.

Price

• Smartwatch: Price about 50 dollars or more with reputable brands. Products from big name brands are concentrated in the range of $100-$500.
• Normal watch: from popular brands, the price is about $50-$500. Products from the company have big names, prices are very diverse, popular in the range of $500-$5000, even higher than that number.

Value

• Smartwatch: A technology device is an item that is regularly updated every year, requiring feature upgrades in terms of device configuration, screen, operating system, connection standards, applications, security, etc. Therefore, smartwatches are very quickly outdated.
• Normal watch: It possesses simplicity in function. In addition, it is aimed at ancient values, suitable for collection and use as jewelry. Those are the things that make them almost never out of date.

JULIUS’s view of Smartwatch and Normal watch

• About smartwatch:

In fact, according to many longtime players’ opinions, Smartwatch is only appreciated for health monitoring and child tracking due to functions such as heart rate measurement, GPS.

It doesn’t have as many conveniences as a smartphone, much less valuable and durable like a normal watch (at the same price). Therefore, this product is not very useful. If you like to keep up with trends or fashion then you might be interested.

• About traditional watches:

Apparently, almost nobody tells the time with a watch these days. To be more precise, it is popular due to its high value in terms of external beauty, craftsmanship, history, branding, artistry, materials, fashion, collectibles.

Honestly, if you want something beautiful, spiritually meaningful, and rare, a traditional watch is absolutely not a bad choice.

As for normal watches, the machine is made up of mechanical components to achieve “real” movements by real details without having to move “virtual” by programming code on the screen like a smartwatch.

Whether to use a smartwatch or a normal watch depends a lot on each person’s goals, habits, and most importantly, the value perspective of each person. If a smartwatch gives you convenience and modernity, a normal watch will give you a classic, elegant and luxurious image.
