There are a lot of smartwatches out there already. The big names, Samsung, Apple and even Microsoft came up with a smartwatch. Basically, smartwatches are wearable-technology devices that maintain a relatively persistent wireless connection to your mobile device—usually a smartphone—and can receive notifications of incoming calls, texts, instant messages, social-network updates, and more, from that device. Some can also let you accept and conduct phone calls right on the watch. And even newer models (the Samsung Gear S, for one) can act as smartphones all on their own, without needing a paired phone nearby.
Smartwatches, like smartphones, can also run apps, via your smartphone or right on the watch. These include health and fitness apps (thus the comparison with activity trackers), apps that control functions such as music and the camera on your phone, navigation apps, and more. Because most smartwatches have open software platforms (at least so far), developers are coming up with new and innovative apps that can increase the functionality of the devices.
Here comes another one. Dot.
What makes Dot unique is that the watch accessing information in Braille ( using a refreshable Braille Display) rather than using text or graphics.
Like most other smartwatches, you can
