Current smartwatches focus on a phone companion. SonyEricsson (now Sony), has been making that mistake for about ten years now, and Samsung is no better. What apple should do: Some companies like Nike or Jawbone focus on tracking activities. In my opinion, Apple should make a bolder move.



a) Medical industry revolution. The iWatch would monitor people vital signs, and let them know if they are getting sick. It would be like your personal general doctor. People will know what to do before getting sick, and only go to the doctor if necessary. It would save million of lives, reduce the cost related to medicine, and solve the insurance high cost problem in the process. Doctors will have access to more accurate patient diagnostic, patient history, and provide better cares. Young ones who can’t explain their symptoms won’t have to. We would be able to gather more data, and learn more from the human body. We would also be able to see disease progression, so researchers could come up with breakthrough treatments… etc



b) Ability to wirelessly control physical devices by tracking muscular movements (they should immediately buy startups like Myo and Nymi).



C) iWatch integration with the Apple TV. Using what mention in (b), the user could control the apple TV with accurate motions (an app has to be activated before to avoid unwanted actions). I can’t tell you how many time I have been looking for my remotes. Apple would have a device far more accurate than motion sensor used on Samsung TVs, Microsoft Kinect, or Playstastion move (yes free pass to the gaming industry once again).

What do you guys think?
