DEFINITION OF WATCH : 

A watch is a small timepiece intended to be carried or worn by a person. It is designed to keep working despite the motions caused by the person's activities. A wristwatch is designed to be worn on a wrist, attached by a watch strap or other type of bracelet. A pocket watch is designed for a person to carry in a pocket

 HISTORY OF WATCH :




Watches evolved from portable spring-driven clocks, which first appeared in 15th century Europe. Watches weren't widely worn in pockets until the 17th century. One account says that the word "watch" came from the Old English word woecce which meant "watchman", because it was used by town watchmen to keep track of their shifts at work. Another says that the term came from 17th century sailors, who used the new mechanisms to time the length of their shipboard watches (duty shifts).

A great leap forward in accuracy occurred in 1657 with the addition of the balance spring to the balance wheel, an invention disputed both at the time and ever since between Robert Hooke and Christiaan Huygens. This innovation increased watches' accuracy enormously, reducing error from perhaps several hours per day to perhaps 10 minutes per day, resulting in the addition of theminute hand to the face from around 1680 in Britain and 1700 in France.
The increased accuracy of the balance wheel focused attention on errors caused by other parts of the movement, igniting a two century wave of watchmaking innovation. The first thing to be improved was the escapement. The verge escapement was replaced in quality watches by the cylinder escapement, invented by Thomas Tompion in 1695 and further developed by George Graham in the 1720s. Improvements in manufacturing such as the tooth-cutting machine devised by Robert Hooke allowed some increase in the volume of watch production, although finishing and assembling was still done by hand until well into the 19th century.
A major cause of error in balance wheel timepieces, caused by changes in elasticity of the balance spring from temperature changes, was solved by the bimetallic temperature compensated balance wheel invented in 1765 by Pierre Le Roy and improved by Thomas Earnshaw. The lever escapement was the single most important technological breakthrough, and was invented by Thomas Mudge in 1759 and improved by Josiah Emery in 1785, although it only gradually came into use from about 1800 onwards, chiefly in Britain.

The British had predominated in watch manufacture for much of the 17th and 18th centuries, but maintained a system of production that was geared towards high quality products for the elite Although there was an attempt to modernise clock manufacture with mass production techniques and the application of duplicating tools and machinery by the British Watch Company in 1843, it was in the United States that this system took off. Aaron Lufkin Dennison started a factory in 1851 in Massachusetts that used interchangeable parts, and by 1861 it was running a successful enterprise incorporated as the Waltham Watch Company.

A simple explanation of important watch parts & functions. 

Quartz

  • 1 The heart of a quartz watch is a tiny sliver of quartz. The synthetically produced quartz is cut by the manufacturer with a diamond saw and shipped to the watchmaker to use. The production of "grown" quartz is a critical step in the process.
Quartz, in a natural form, is first loaded into a giant kettle or autoclave (the same device used by doctors and dentists to sterilize instruments). Hanging from the top of the autoclave are seeds or tiny particles of quartz
In watch assembly, the entire set of crystal and microchips is set onto a circuit board. A battery is also installed that generates electricity for the quartz crystal and supplies the power for the LED display.
with the desired crystalline structure. An alkaline material is pumped into the bottom of the autoclave, and the autoclave is heated to a temperature of roughly 750 degrees Fahrenheit (400 degrees Celsius). The natural quartz dissolves in the hot alkaline liquid, evaporates, and deposits itself on the seeds. As it deposits itself, it follows the pattern of the crystalline structure of the seeds. After about 75 days, the chamber can be opened, and the newly grown quartz crystals can be removed and cut into the correct proportions. Different angles and thicknesses in the cutting lead to predictable rates of oscillation. The desired rate of oscillation for quartz used in wristwatches is 100,000 megaHertz or 100,000 oscillations per second.
  • 2 To work most effectively, the piece of quartz needs to be sealed in a vacuum chamber of one sort or another. Most commonly, the quartz is placed into a sort of capsule, with wires attached to both ends so that the capsule can be soldered or otherwise connected to a circuit board.

The microchip

  • 3 The electronic leads generated by a battery through the quartz (producing oscillations) will go to a microchip that serves as a "frequency dividing circuit." Microchip manufacture, like the quartz, is also carried out by the supplier to the watch manufacturer. An extensive and complex process, making microchips involves chemical and/or x-ray etching of a microscopic electronic circuit onto a tiny piece of silicon dioxide.
  • 4 The oscillation rate of perhaps 100,000 vibrations/second is reduced to 1 or 60 or some other more manageable number of oscillations. The new pattern of oscillation is then sent to another microchip that functions as a "counter-decoder-driver." This chip will actually count the oscillations that it receives. If there are sixty oscillations per second, the chip will change the reading on an LED every second. After 3,600 oscillations (60 x 60), the counter will instruct the LED to change the reading for minutes. And, after 60 x 60 x 60 oscillations (216,000), the counter will change the hour reading.

Assembly


  • 5 The entire set of crystal and microchips is set onto a circuit board. The board incorporates a space to hold the battery that supplies electricity to the quartz crystal and supplies the power for the LED display. Generally, the space for the battery is on the outside of the surface facing the back of the case. The battery can be replaced by removing the back of the watch, shaking out the old one, and dropping in the new battery.
  • 6 The mechanism used for setting the watch is then connected. This mechanism involves two pins that extend beyond the case of the watch. One pin lets the counter circuit know which reading to reset—seconds, minutes, or hours. The second pin is pushed a number of times to bring the display to the desired reading.
  • 7 The entire circuit board, along with a battery, is then closed into a case, and a wrist strap is attached.
What are the Benefits of Using a SmartWatch?
Smartwatches were designed to enhance and improve smart phone usage.  The two work hand in hand or hand and wrist, rather.  Bluetooth technology allows the devices to work simultaneously.
As new smartwatch models emerge on the marketplace, smart phone owners are given more and more options to choose from.  Here are some of the many advantages of having a computer on your wrist:
  • Convenience.  Let’s face it.  People like to be well-informed.  They want to feel connected.  That’s what makes the smartwatch so appealing.  Imagine being able to do most of the things you do on a smart phone without having to pull out your phone to do them.  Smartwatches allow you to make and receive calls and receive updates.  You can receive text messages, alerts, and updates without being extremely obvious about it.
  • Affordability.  Unlike some new technologies, smartwatches are rather affordable.  They complement smart phones so more and more cell phone companies are selling and promoting them.  Even the most highly anticipated models are extremely affordable.  As more and more companies jump onto the smartwatch bandwagon, functionality will improve and prices will drop significantly.
  • Functionality.  Some smartwatch models have built-in flash drives.  Others have voice and gesture control, Cloud data, and built-in activity trackers.  Many smartwatches allow you to text and tweet from your wrist.  Imagine being on the treadmill at the gym.  You no longer have to haphazardly pull your phone out to see who is calling or texting you.  One look at your smartwatch can tell you whether you need to answer the phone or wait until you’re done working out.
  • Discretion.  Everyone wants to be connected but let’s face it, there are some places where phones are inappropriate.  Despite wanting to be available to your family or clients, it just isn’t possible in some places.  A smartwatch makes it easier to check messages on the fly.
  • Custom Firmware.  App developers have free reign when it comes to designing for the smartwatch.  Companies encourage innovation by providing guides detailed how to “hack” the watches software.  Much like smart phones, the app market for smartwatches could become larger than life.
As you can see, there are a number of different reasons why a person would want to use their smartwatch with their smart phone.  New Relic’s research discovered that the average smart phone user checks their device up to 150 times a day or once every 6.5 minutes.  That’s an amazing amount of time spent on a smart phone.  Wouldn’t it be nice to do the same in less time?
There are a number of different manufacturers and models.  Like anything else, a smartwatch can be made one’s own with different types of watch faces and strap colors.  This allows a smartwatch wearer to flaunt his or her own individual style with ease.

ASUS ZenWatch 




ASUS's first Android Wear watch is one of the most stylish , and feels great on the wrist, to boot. Unfortunately, it suffers from mediocre battery life, an erratic heart monitor and an unsightly bezel surrounding the screen. In the end, though, the ZenWatch's balance of looks, performance and relatively low price make it a worthy choice for anyone who wants an Android Wear device and doesn't want to wait for all those second-gen models to come out. 
Pros
·         1. Handsome, understated design
·         2. Feels good on your wrist
·         3. Inexpensive compared to competing models
Cons
·         1. Mediocre battery life
·         2. Clasp can get in the way of clothes
·         3. Heart rate monitor isn't always reliable

The Smart Watch Influence Study (May 2014)

SmartWatch_ImageOnly_1600
While the world waits for the iWatch and Apple remains silent about it, nearly every other large technology hardware company has been jockeying for position with smart watch related product releases, technology announcements, or acquisitions.  The Appinions Data Journalism Team put together some research to understand which companies and executives are influencing the conversation and who is generating meaningful reactions.
In the report, Samsung is ranked #1 on the list of ‘Most Influential Companies’, primarily due to releases and announcements concerning their Gear series of watches. Apple is #2, although they have yet to release any smart watch products and have made no relevant statements other than ‘no comment’. Google earned the #3 spot on the strength of their technology announcements regarding upcoming Smart Watch technology for the Android platform. Motorola, LG, Acer, Pebble, Sony, Intel, and Microsoft round out the top 10.
On ‘Most Influential Executives’ list, the top spot went to Nike CEO Mark Parker, based on the reaction to his April announcement that Nike was moving from hardware to a software focus – a move that was seen as confirming the reality of the Apple iWatch. Sonny Vu, CEO of Misfit Wearables is #2, and Tim Cook of Apple took the #3 position. Executives from Intel, Jawbone, Motorola, AT&T, and Blackberry also earned spots on the list.

The future: Welcoming wearables

Along with granting improved access to third-party developers, watchOS 2 will be introducing FaceTime voice calling (over Wi-Fi) right from the Apple Watch. But rumors indicate that they're not stopping there. 9to5Mac reports that the next version of the Apple Watch is likely to include a FaceTime video camera built right into the device. This suggests that video calling will be a staple of future versions of the watch. While video chat will no doubt be a welcome addition to most consumers (and fans of "Inspector Gadget"), Embarcadero Technologies Developer Evangelist Jim McKeeth believes that such features could present a big problem for battery life.

 THE IDEA THAT I WANT TO DEVELOP ARE :
1. maybe it will be more functional if the watch are can detect our heartbeat and blood so when our body is nnot fit the alarm will be remind us 
2. in the future maybe it will be more better if we use hologram , so we can video call even we only use smartwatch 
3. i want to develop the smartwacth into a key that connect to our personal transportation so if we want to unlock the car we can put the code into the smartwatch. and also we can unlock our house by using the smartwatch.
