The company boasts more than 1,000 applications dedicated to watches connected Galaxy Gear range. But no offense to the Korean giant, this does not necessarily guarantee the sustainability of the ecosystem.
A level has been crossed. In an infographic published on the website of the brand, Samsung announced that the Galaxy watches store Gear exceeded the thousand applications. Aiming to promote its catalog, the brand presents his selection of the best services
top 5. An application to control the use of water, a physical activity sensor, using a baby monitor smartphone user as camera and microphone, an adaptation of Thurs 2048 and a translator.
In passing the 1000 bar applications, Samsung catches up shop Pebble, its main competitor. The number of available services is a key factor for the success of a watch connected, as the success of a smartphone indeed. However, having an extensive catalog does not guarantee the quality of services, or useful.
A study of the Jackdaw analysis office, the current lack watches really interesting features for the user. The study found that such few people use push notifications as they are the main feature watches connected. As for health sensors and physical activity, the main innovation of this type of product, they would simply unused by most owners of these devices.
pursuing the path of a dedicated ecosystem Samsung to watches, the Korean manufacturer is likely to face the arrival of Android Wear. Tizen, Samsung’s operating system may struggle to win against competition from the Google system. Wear Android will have the advantage of being present on more products and brands. Android watches Wear will also be compatible with most powered by Google’s system terminals, that is to say, the majority of smartphones in circulation. Watches as Tizen, meanwhile, only work with devices from Samsung. In such circumstances it will be difficult for the Korean attract the interest of developers.
Continue this strategy could be risky for the company. Samsung Z, for Russia and led by Tizen, had also suffered from a lack of content to its release. Also, what happened to his Blackberry and dedicated operating system is still on everyone’s mind. The shop services the mark had been abandoned by developers. These preferred design services for iOS or Android, more common than their counterpart in Blackberry.
