Could it be better?
It would be, if exterior and interior of smartwatches was produced by different companies. The idea is to specialize. The hulls and bands could be made by a classic watch manufacturers and fashion houses. Аnd the smart parts, like hardware and software should be made IT companies, like Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi or Microsoft. Well-known watch brands like Louis Vuitton, Rolex or Omega produce luxury goods, they haven't enough resources and expertise to create their own hardware design or operating system. IT giants, in turn, being oriented on broad market and unified products, couldn't focus on individual design and bring such huge and artistic variety of looks. Even in "gold edition".
Benefits
What would we, the customers, get from such change in the industry?
- Nicer watches.
- Higher flexibility.
- Lower price of the update (if the old body used with new electrical parts. The watch body can even go from father to son!)
Examples
What will happen if watches turn the correct way? Some examples:
- A G-Shock-like Apple Watches. A sports watch in robust shock resistant shell. Awesome? Awesome.
- Beautiful and expensive watches like Blancpain. With all new updates.
- Retrofitting. You'll be able to update an old grandfarther's watch with a new powerful hardware.
Will it ever happen?
