I've seen many Android-powered smartwatches out there with capabilities to run apps in the same way (almost) as an ordinary smartphone would. On the other hand, we have the Apple Watch which runs its variant of the iOS system. Imagine being able to install a lightweight wallet like Electrum on a smartwatch to send/receive Bitcoin transactions. After all, most of these (if not all) smartwatches have Wi-Fi capabilities, Bluetooth, and more. By integrating Bitcoin wallets into smartwatches, you can truly send/receive transactions anywhere with ease. I'm sure not if this is possible yet (as I don't own a smartwatch). But if a developer decides to create Bitcoin wallets for smartwatches, I'll be a big hit within the mainstream world.
What are your thoughts? Is something like this practical/secure? Or is it better to continue using smartphones for Bitcoin transactions?
Dont know if this one do able to pull it off or not https://www.coindesk.com/aegis-wallet-wear-brings-bitcoin-android-smartwatchesWhat are your thoughts? Is something like this practical/secure? Or is it better to continue using smartphones for Bitcoin transactions?
I would say that this isnt a bad idea though but when we do talk about the demand of these bitcoin crypto smartwatches wont really be that high.
Yes, its truly accessible and less hassle but we can actually do those things on our smartphone.
. In our country, There's not so many stores or merchant that is accepting bitcoin as payment so I think it might not be used much. Plus the security of the wallets, A watch may fall or be lost in somewhere and it might be hijacked by somebody, It has a safety feature I know but I think it won't do much.
