Samsung Woes Should Worry Apple Even More


By Now everyone has realised that the Note 7 fate has been sealed.It will live on in our hearts as a device that Might Have been.With Samsung looking at an estimated 17 Billion USD in losses-Ouch that is quite the Hit to take,however ,Samsung has a very  diversified Portfolio and while it looks bad on Paper, Samsung will weather this Storm and Move on,Macquarie Research analyst Daniel Kim said, he sees “little collateral damage” to Samsung’s component divisions.Samsung, has a highly diversified business, which includes smart appliances, such as refrigerators, as well as television displays and a chip-making unit. Last quarter, its semiconductor business comprised 23.5% of total revenue. Its consumer electronics division, which includes its digital appliances, printers and health and medical equipment, comprised 23% of sales.

Apple Should actually be more worried,since Apple is much more reliant on its handheld devices than Samsung   is on its family of Galaxy phones and tablets, according to an analysis of both companies’ most recent earnings reports.

Alphabet Highs and Apples Lows


Seems that Alphabets Chromebook are having a fantastic time in back to school sales.According to International Corp and Gartner Inc,apparently PC sales for the third quarter Tuesday, and both analyses showed huge drops for Apple’s AAPL, +0.85%  Mac sales in the important back-to-school quarter. IDC tracked a 13% decline for Apple from the same quarter a year ago, while Gartner reported that Mac sales dropped 13.4%.

Apple’s Mac offerings come at a much higher cost to consumers, and offer the ability to perform more intense tasks that may matter more to professionals than  students.Chromebooks, Alphabet’s GOOGL, +0.16% GOOG, +0.12%  stripped-down PCs that run on Google’s Chrome operating system, have become popular in the education market because they offer basic computing services, such as word processing and internet browsing, at a low price.

MOVADO MEETS HP


Well a while back we heard that HP had Engineered a watch with Movado(Not the singer).

Movado has been Synonymous with artistry, innovation and craftsmanship, Movado has been dedicated to pushing the boundaries of modern design and elevating the art of fine watchmaking to a fine art form since its founding in Switzerland in 1881.

According to HP,the Engineered by HP means that its  is infusing innovative materials, design and custom technology into the style of the devices you love, to make them more connected and responsive to the way you live.The Watch Works with both iOS (8+) and Android (4.4+). Exceptional performance with up to one week of battery life for smart functions. A beautiful water-resistant watch that’s always on.

Well now they have two designs out,namely t the MOVADO BOLD MOTION BLACK/STRAP and    shown Below.

HOW TO OPERATE THE WATCH

The Movado BOLD Motion has a button (1) on the left side of the case that controls the watch functions. Press it once to change the watch view. The views display in the following order: analog, progress tracker status, digital battery status, Bluetooth status. Analog view is displayed by default, and the watch returns to analog view after five seconds of inactivity.

The crown (2) is located on the right side of the case and is used only to set the time.

SETTING THE TIME

  • Gently pull the crown button on the Right hand side out to position (2); the seconds hand stops moving.
  • 2.Rotate the crown in either direction to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
  • 3.Push the crown back into position (1); the seconds hand restarts.

Notifications alerts working  by flashing the  glowing Ring found at the top of Both watches.You will get notfication like

  • Calendar Reminders
  • Priority Calls and Texts
  • Active Goals i.e daily step over a week or Months.

The Watch on the Left features;

  • Ceramic Bead Blasted Black Ion-Plated Case
  • Transparent Reflector w/Matte Ring
  • Transparent matte Dot Ring
  • Polished Black Ion-Plated Bezel
  • Rhonda 763 analog movement
  • Matte Black Medical Grade Silicone strap
  • Includes custom USB charger

The Watch on the Right Features;

  • Ceramic Bead Blasted Stainless Steel Case
  • Transparent Reflector w/LUMI Color Ring
  • Transparent Dot Ring with LUMI
  • Polished Black Ion-Plated Bezel
  • Rhonda 763 analog movement
  • Matte Black Medical Grade Silicone strap
  • Includes custom USB charger

For the folks who want technical details these are listed below,Sorry ladies seems that there is not a Women’s Version yet:

movado details.

The Movado Watch does contain   two batteries. One battery controls the digital functions of the watch and can be recharged. The other battery controls the analog functions of the watch and is not rechargeable,which is a bummer.The  Replacement of either battery—for the analog or the digital functions—requires service from a Movado Authorized Service Center. For locations, visitwww.mgiservice.com/movado.  Before you set up the watch, charge it for at least two hours. When the battery that controls digital functions is fully charged, it should last five to seven days with minimal use.That is  amazing but the use of minimal use is always relative  to each user and i always take it with a grain of Salt.I do not have a watch to test so cannot give you an accurate answer.

The Final Piece is the BOLD App(currently at version 1.1) that you download either from Google Play Store or Apple’s App Store.Movado states that should work on devices with 4.4 and upwards or IOS 8 or higher.

The custom USB Charger prices at 19.95 USD  which is cheap considering that Both Watches are currently   Priced at 695 USD,which in my opinion is going to have a hard time selling on the market  when the Huawei Watch Black stainless steel goes for 449 USD currently and have Proper Smart Watches retailing for about 150.00 USD.

Warranty is a limited 2 Year warranty,that anyone ought to read if and when you decide to Purchase one.
