<p>If Apple’s iWatch design brief includes 10 sensors, then the all-but-inevitable smartwatch won’t be a simple device. It will be aimed squarely at exercise enthusiasts, quantified-selfers, and anyone concerned about an expanding waist line.</p><p>And the iWatch would also be nothing like Android Wear smartwatches (http://www.techhive.com/article/2109241/meet-android-wear-googles-bid-to-bring-serious-productivity-to-smartwatches.html) from the likes of LG (http://www.techhive.com/article/2149566/report-lgs-g-watch-will-sell-in-france-for-199-euro-this-june.html) and Motorola (http://www.techhive.com/article/2109706/moto-360-aims-to-hit-the-whoah-mark-with-a-bold-smartwatch-fashion-statement.html)—gadgets that will use Google Now to push information like sports scores, weather alerts and navigation directions. This foreshadows a war between two entirely different philosophies in the wristband space. Apple’s proposition: A smartwatch should be dedicated to telling you about what’s happening inside your body. Google’s stance: A smartwatch should be focused on the world around you.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2365907/a-10-sensor-iwatch-says-apples-smartwatch-will-be-fitness-focused-and-nothing-like-android-wear.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
