Apple Watch has been with us since 2015. Apple very quickly rose to the leading position and was able to win the favor of fans all over the world. It is not for nothing that it is said that it is the Apple Watch that has been crowned the best smart watch ever. Indeed, the Cupertino company went in the right direction and bet not only on displaying notifications and monitoring sports functions, but also brought relatively fundamental options with regard to monitoring health and health functions.

During the last years, we have therefore seen the arrival of several essential sensors and gadgets. Today's Apple Watch can therefore easily cope not only with heart rate measurement, but also with EKG, blood oxygen saturation or body temperature, or they can alert the user to an irregular heart rhythm or automatically detect a fall and a car accident. Despite all this, however, the initial enthusiasm for the Apple Watch has completely disappeared. This opened up an endless discussion among fans about what needs to be done and what Apple should come up with. And one of the solutions is literally at his fingertips.

An accessory that can do so much more

As the very title of this article suggests, a certain solution could come from smart accessories. First of all, let's focus on what we actually mean by that. As such, the Apple Watch could support a number of accessories that would significantly expand the overall functionality of the Apple Watch and thus move the entire device several steps forward. In connection with this, the most common talk is about the possible deployment of so-called smart straps. The strap as such is an elementary part of the watch, without which the user simply cannot do. So why not make much better use of it?

It is also important to mention what smart straps could actually be smart about. In this respect, it is quite clear. Other important sensors could be stored inside the straps, which could generally expand the capabilities of the watch as such, or could be used to refine the scanned data. The overall focus clearly follows from this. The apple company should therefore focus primarily on the health of apple growers and help them track data. Of course, it shouldn't end there. Smart straps are more or less equally usable, for example, for the needs of sports or rest. In theory, an additional battery could also be integrated into them, making them a reliable alternative to the MagSafe Battery Case for the Apple Watch, which would certainly be appreciated by users who, for example, often travel and do not always have a charger at hand.

The technology exists. What is Apple waiting for?

Now we move to the most important thing. The question arises as to why Apple has not yet come up with something like this. In this regard, it is necessary to mention one extremely important piece of information. News about the potential arrival of smart straps does not come from leakers or fans, but directly from Apple itself. During the existence of the Apple Watch, he registered several such patents, which explain in detail the use and implementation. So why don't we have smart straps yet? Of course, the answer to this question is unclear, since the apple company has never commented on the matter. Would you welcome something like this, or do you think it is more or less pointless?
