The Apple Watch accounts for half of global smartwatch sales, says a new report, but there are some areas where it lacks compared to its rivals.

Hollis Johnson

Samsung's smartphones have long-offered an always-on display option, and it would be a very useful feature to have on the Apple Watch. Right now, there are a few ways to activate the display on Apple's wearable: by raising your wrist slightly and tilting it toward your face, by tapping the display, or by rolling the digital crown upwards. These mechanisms usually work reliably in my experience, but it would be even more convenient to glance down at my wrist without having to move it or touch the watch when I want to see the time.

I'd love to be able to see if my iPhone resting on its wireless charger in the other room has a full battery straight from my wrist without having to go retrieve it. Considering Apple makes it possible to see the battery life of your connected Apple devices on the iPhone through the battery widget, being able to do so on the Apple Watch feels like a natural addition.When it comes to smartwatch apps, Apple certainly offers more variety than Fitbit.

The selection of watch faces for the Apple Watch, comparatively, is updated and expanded at Apple's discretion. .
