Of the 16 participating subjects only three had previous experience with Smart Watches.

So while much of it was new users.

So it is first-time users.

Before the User Test 3 people about buying thought a smart watch.

One of the subjects was already in possession of a watch.

Overall, a balance between Android users and iOS users existed.

In the first use case, the subjects restaurants should display nearby.

The first test was for all subjects from smoothly.

Only in the Android watches several attempts were sometimes required to activate the language assistant.

The times required were quite similar for all watches.

In the second use case, the subjects needed with the Sony SmartWatch 132 seconds and with the Motorola 69th The Apple Watch was again the fastest with 30 seconds on average.

The Apple Watch scored highly against the other watches with a PushUp notification on which direct a microphone was shown to respond.

The third use case consisted of three smaller tasks: to be played first music 2.

The Apple Watch section in this use case with 59 seconds was the worst.

Since the change only by swiping is possible and not through the settings.

When asked whether the subjects consider the functions to be useful answered only two against.

However, six test persons have noted the they would not use the language assistant in public.

After the test, the number of volunteers has what about buying a smartwatch think doubled.

It should also be noted that two of the subjects generally do not wear watches and therefore have answered no.

When asked which operating system would prefer the volunteers.

the answers were very balanced.

Three of the subjects could not commit to a particular system here.

On top of that it should be mentioned that would tend not Android users clear to Apple Watch or the other way.

In view of the ease of use that Apple Watch performed best.

Moto 360 stood out particularly through her round display and worst, the Sony SmartWatch 3 cut off.

Despite all the all three Smart Watches can everyday helpful assistants his wrist.
