In a recent interview, Myriam Joire, one of the head company SmartWatch Pebble, commented that the battery life is the biggest problem for the device to be worn in the moment. “Most smart meter 130mAh battery, which can be drained by a light bulb for 30 minutes to 1 hour, “said Joire. This cell is sized to fit into small clock, but like the battery life is not enough. And if you want to use larger batteries, the company will have to increase the size of the product, but that is not what the user wants to wear on her wrist.
Joire said: “That is a problem of the selection screen device wearable : you have Pebble with black and white screen, easy to see in the sun, save energy screen, and then you also have SmartWatch with high resolution screen or AMOLED beautiful but hard to read outdoors and draw more power. Would not have any magic pill – you must choose one. «He thinks wearable devices will continue to tolerate this situation in the next 2 years until the plastic battery debut. The use of this new generation of batteries will provide higher capacity, while the battery can also be arranged flexibly within a compact body.
Joire Pebble screen is called a “compromise” in time waiting for the industry, especially the battery array, catch up with the development of wearable devices. “We also want a color screen with high resolution, but if out of the way, you will not be able to see them. SmartWatch you usually do not use her much indoors because you have a phone plan inside it. «However, “nothing can stop us doing two different clocks – and maybe we’re doing it,” hints on Pebble someday be equipped with a color screen». But the black and white screen is something that we have to choose at this point.”
