We can monitor our heartbeat, calories, etc. We can track fitness activities throughout the day, such as my husband’s (annoying) obsession with Apple Watch’s reminder to stand up every hour. The beauty of a smartwatch is that it straddles both IoT worlds: consumer and business. For the majority of us, however, IoT primarily means Fitbit or Nike FuelBand-two health and fitness devices that, according to the same study, snagged approximately 52% of the consumer wearables market in 2015.īut since we spend at least a third of our days working, can IoT and wearable devices make us more productive, efficient workers? Absolutely, thanks to connected devices like the Apple Watch, which cornered 52% of the global smartwatch market last year. A Forrester Research study from last September reported that 1-in-5 surveyed adults use a wearable device. Today, the consumer has a corner on IoT device adoption. Talk abounds about the untapped potential of the Internet of Things ( IoT) at work, but we’re clearly still in early days. This is definitely something worth checking before you fly out.Think wearables are only for health and fitness? Think again, fellow workers of the world. Some banks also offer a feature via their mobile app that allows you to receive a notification outlining how much you've spent in local currency, your usual currency and if you've been charged any sort of exchange rate every-time you use your card. Under normal circumstances you might have a panic attack or frantically try to re-mortgage your house but with Currency Converter you can simply key in the amount, hit convert and relax in the knowledge that you've actually only been charged £20.00. It arrives in front of you and you're charged 357,477.44 Indonesian Rupiah. You finish up, take the last slurp of your Raspberry Mojito and ask for the bill. Let's say you're enjoying a few cocktails and some light lunch in Indonesia's picturesque province of Bali.
Depending on your whereabouts the value of a certain currency can differ greatly from the one you're used to. If, like me, you're not great at mental arithmetic then this app if very helpful when using foreign currency. In other places you may be visiting some form of simple communication may also be absolutely vital to obtain life's bare necessities.
Wether it's the former or the latter people will always appreciate the effort made by a visitor to greet or thank them in their local dialect. Whilst many popular destinations often rely on tourism as their main source of income, and will therefor speak English to varying degrees, some quieter - or more off-grid - places may not offer this luxury. Traveling to another country often means you won't be able to communicate via the native tongue. Luckily your Apple Watch can be used as both a view finder and a remote to activate a camera timer from your iPhone! Watch our video below to see how easy this cool trick is to do! The issue is - as a couple, family or group - it's very difficult to get everyone in one photo without either using your (poorer quality) front camera complete with outstretched selfie arm, relying on a random passerby who will either run off with your phone or accidentally take a very close range photo of themselves looking bemused or, lastly, having to wield a selfie-stick which, lets be honest, belongs in only two places back in 2015 and in Room 101. Day trips and holidays often make great memories and the right photo can bring them all rushing back in an instant.
