According to the Apple CEO, its smartwatch will soon be a device people won’t want to live without.

The Apple Watch is expected to have its release date announced on March 9, at which time it will also likely reveal a number of additional details about this gadget, including more about its battery life, and how it may one day make car keys obsolete.

With a massive price tag of $349, the device will need to be impressive in order to convince people to pay.

That is the price that has been announced for the Apple Watch Sport version of the first smartwatch from the high end brand. The key will be to try to convince people why they will actually want the device in the first place. They will not, after all, be replacing traditional wristwatches, as many people stopped wearing those when they purchased their smartphones. Therefore, many people are wondering if having two smart devices on them at all times will simply be redundant. This is especially true because many of the features of the smartwatch will not function without being wirelessly connected to an iPhone.

According to CEO Tim Cook, the notifications are among the best reasons to get an Apple Watch.

Cook explained that “I’m now so used to getting all my notifications and all my messages.” He went on to add that “It’s so incredible just to do this,” he said as he glanced down at his wrist, instead of having to take his iPhone out of his pocket. This could be quite convenient for a smartphone user. If a new notification arrives, it makes it possible for the smartwatch wearer to simply glance down at the wearable technology to see if the incoming call, text, email, or other type of alert is something that requires an immediate response.

The question is whether something as simple as notifications will allow these wearables to stand out from among many others that are already offering that type of feature, and if people will be willing to pay more for the Apple Watch than they would be for those from rival companies.

These wearables aren’t just for humans, as pet dogs can also have their fitness monitored by their owners.

Among the hottest growing trends in humans is wearable technology that helps to monitor fitness, and now there is a growing market growing for a similar purpose, but with dogs in mind, instead.

Pet wellness has become a considerable market, and tech such as wearables is making its way in.

Last year, it was estimated that Americans, alone, spent $58 billion on care for their furry family members. As the trend for wearable technology fitness gadgets rise in humans, people are starting to realize that there is a considerable opportunity available to track the activity levels of their pets, as well, and that this could help them to make better choices in exercising and feeding their animal companions. A growing number of companies are paying attention to that trend, and are offering their own versions of pedometers and fitness trackers with Rover in mind.

Wearable technology trackers can help owners to gain a better understanding of the health of their pets.

Many pet owners (also known as “pet parents”) are finding that wellness websites for dogs, combined with fitness trackers, are giving them the information that they need to better decide how much food their animals should be fed, and what additional activities need to be added to a dog’s day to ensure that he or she will remain healthy and happy.

Many owners discover that their pets haven’t been nearly as active as they had thought, throughout the day. This gives them the chance to take their dogs on more walks, or to add extra playtime to ensure that their dogs will not end up become overweight or, even worse, obese. Pet obesity is a dangerous condition that shortens the life of the animal and takes away from their overall wellbeing.

While some wearable technology devices are providing information about factors such as activity levels, others add more features such as sleeping patterns, and even behaviors such as scratching. By knowing more about these behaviors, and by knowing what is “normal” for an individual animal, pet owners will be better capable of identifying potential problems, earlier on.
