Christmas Present Idea: The Smartwatch

12/18/2017 By Claire 19 Comments

Christmas is getting closer

This year, I will not up a selection of gifts on a moodboard but I will rather propose one main idea to you and explore it in depth. My main suggestion for this Christmas is very trendy and modern. We are here talking about smartwatches! Yes, I know, smartwatches have been on the market for a few years now but now more and more emphasis is put on the smartwatches’ designs. Isn’t it great? I’m all in. Several watchmakers and fashion brand are proposing beautiful models now, such as the gorgeous Michael Kors smartwatch I am presenting in the pictures below.

I must admit that when smartwatches first appeared, I was kind of skeptical towards them. Was it really necessary and useful? But at the same time, I was very interested in trying out this new piece of tech (that’s my geeky side talking here, always wanting to try out new gadgets). I never had the occasion to seriously try out these before, apart from the in-store situation. So here I am, testing out my new smartwatch and even recommanding it to you guys.

How to select the one that will match your needs

In the huge amount of offer that is proposed to you, so many brands, so many different functionnalities, so many designs and colours, it may seem freaking difficult to make a choice. I won’t lie, I struggled a lot, but you’re not alone in this. There is currently a great guide on how to choose a smartwatch for women or for men on Zalando. It basically explains all you have to know about the different categories of smartwatches (nope, they are not all the same) and their features to help you make your decision depending on your needs and use.
Speaking for myself, we could say that I am a very connected person. I text a lot, put all kinds of reminders on my phone, schedule stuff on my digital diary, etc. But at the same time, it is very important for me that my accessories suit my style and go well with my minimal looks.

Why I like it

After two weeks of trying it out, I am sold. Definitely! Why? On one hand, I am super fond of the smartwatche’s digital features: receiving reminders on my wrist so I cannot not see them, being able to casually check them out during a meeting, accessing my schedule with a finger tap… As well as “less serious” features like counting my steps: it made me more conscious of my (non) physical activity, which is great! On the other hand, I am impressed by the customization possibilities it offers: you can change the watch face (for instance going for a more sporty look, so cool!), you can change the strap, etc. Basically, I am enchanted to have a prolongation of my smartphone as wearable gear.

Tempted to get your friends or members of your family (or yourself) a smartwatch for Christmas?

C’est bientôt Noël

Cette année, je ne vous présente pas une sélection d’idées cadeaux sur un moodboard mais une idée principale en détail. Ma suggestion principale pour ce Noël est très tendance et moderne. Nous parlerons ici de montres connectées! Oui, je sais, cela fait déjà un moment que les montres connectées ont fait leur apparition sur le marché, mais à présent, de plus en plus de soin est accordé au design de celles-ci. C’est pas génial? Je trouve que oui! Des fabricants de montres et des grands noms de la mode proposent dorénavant leurs modèles, à l’image de la montre connectée Michael Kors que je présente dans la série de photos ci-dessous.

Je dois admettre que lorsque les montres connectées ont fait leur apparition, j’étais un peu sceptique. Est-ce que c’était bien nécessaire? Toutefois, en même temps, j’étais très curieuse à l’idée d’essayer ce nouveau type de gadget connecté (c’est mon côté geek qui parle, celui qui a toujours envie de tester les dernières nouveautés). Je n’ai jamais eu l’occasion d’essayer sérieusement une montre connectée, à part dans le cas d’un modèle de démonstration en magasin. Alors voilà, j’ai enfin pu en tester une et j’en viens même à vous la recommander. 

Comment sélectionner la montre qui vous convient

Parmi la pléthore de modèles de montres connectées, de si nombreuses marques, de si nombreux modèles avec tant de fonctionnalités, designs différents et couleurs, il peut sembler extrêmement difficile de faire son choix. Je ne vais pas vous mentir, j’ai eu de la peine. Mais vous n’êtes pas seul(e)! Il y a actuellement un guide hyper pratique pour vous y retrouver avec les différents types de montre connectée pour femme et pour homme sur le site de Zalando. Ce guide vous explique tout ce que vous avez à savoir sur les différents types de montres connectées (non, ce ne sont pas toutes les mêmes) et détaille leurs caractéristiques pour vous aider à faire votre choix en fonction de vos besoins et de votre utilisation.

Dans mon cas par exemple, on pourrait dire que je suis une personne très connectée. J’écris beaucoup de messages, je me mets des rappels pour tout et n’importe quoi, je mets à jour mon agenda électronique… Et en même temps, il est très important pour moi que mes accessoires s’accordent avec mes tenues et mon style minimal.

Coup de cœur

Après deux semaines d’essai, je suis convaincue. Pour de vrai! Pourquoi? D’une part, parce que je suis enchantée par les fonctionnalités pratiques de la montre: recevoir des rappels directement sur mon poignet comme ça je ne peux pas ne pas les voir, être capable de discrètement vérifier mes messages durant une réunion, accéder à mon agenda en touchant du doigt… J’apprécie également les fonctionnalités moins “sérieuses” telles que le décompte de pas, qui m’a fait prendre conscience concrètement de mon (manque d’) activité physique, ce qui est très pertinent. D’autre part, je suis impressionnée par les options de personnalisation de ma montre connectée: il est possible de changer l’apparence du cadran (choisir un look plus “sport” par exemple), le bracelet interchangeable, etc. Pour résumer, je suis ravie d’avoir un prolongement de mon smartphone au poignet.

Tenté(e) d’offrir une montre connectée à un ami, à un membre de votre famille ou à vous-même?
