The five wearable superpowers
The most distinguishing feature of a smartwatch is that it can be used while walking
or moving around.
Portable while operational
Smartwatches concentrate on displays, vibrations or voice output to minimize the tying
up of a user's hands.
Hands-free use
In addition to user-inputs, a smartwatch has sensors for the physical environment.
Sensors
A Smartwatch conveys information to its user even when not actively being used.
Attention-getting
By default a smartwatch is always on and working, sensing, and acting.
Always on
