Question 1

How are smart glasses different from regular eyeglasses?

Accepted Answer

Whereas prescription glasses are used to correct ocular deficiencies, smart glasses project data and information in front of a person's eye without blocking their view of what is directly in front of them. For example, imagine you are shopping for a car in a showroom. Smart glasses can synthesize what your eyes are focused on and immediately pull up information on the car's performance reviews or possibly a video of the car on the road. Some smart glasses are even capable of facial recognition, meaning you will never be in that awkward position of forgetting someone's name again.

While smart glasses don't yet have the broad accessibility of other wearable technology, their path forward looks very bright. Keep an eye online and via the Instacart app for the latest and greatest in this vision-enhancing technology.

Question 2

What are some things a smartwatch can do differently from a regular watch?

Accepted Answer

There is no denying that a reliable, well-made watch is an important way to be on time for commitments and obligations and keep you on track with daily tasks. With a smartwatch, however, time is only one of its many compelling features. Imagine you have a friend who lives overseas who you would like to call. Not only can a smartwatch tell you the exact time in that location, but even the weather conditions to make you feel even closer when separated.

Smartwatches also boast a heavy convenience factor. How often do our phones ring and we can't seem to find them at the moment we are expecting that important phone call? Some smartwatches enable you to answer the call directly from your wrist, so you'll never miss that notification you've been waiting to receive. Smartwatches are incredibly durable. While these gadgets are effectively mini-computers you wear around your wrist, some are made to be water-resistant to a certain depth, which eliminates the need to panic if you accidentally hop in the pool with your watch on.

Question 3

How can a smartwatch improve my health?

Accepted Answer

Health is on everyone's mind these days, from diet choices to exercise and their impacts on overall health. A smartwatch is one of the easiest ways to monitor your health and achieve your wellness goals. For example, most smartwatches have a pedometer function that enables you to count your steps to see how much you are moving each day. Some models have a function where you can join fitness challenges with friends and family to cheer each other on to reach those coveted 10,000 steps per day.

Smartwatches are great for monitoring your health even when you are in a deep sleep. By tracking the number of hours of sleep you get, you are more likely to meet the medically recommended minimum of seven hours of sleep per night. The watches can even track how many hours you slept interrupted to help identify patterns that may be keeping you from getting the ideal number of zzz's every night.

Many smartwatches feature customizable faces that enable users to include information such as heart rate, how many steps you have walked, your activity level for the day, and more. Having this directly in your line of sight each time you check the time can be a good reminder to get your feet moving. To help you maintain a heightened energy level, many fitness apps are available that can be accessed directly from the phone to help you stay in shape from just about anywhere.
