El Apple Watch It is by far the best-selling smartwatch. I would dare to say that it is also the one that works the best, but many owners of an apple watch were disappointed to see a certain lag that they are not used to seeing in an Apple product. This mediocre performance could have the days numbered, since, from the day June 1, Apple will no longer accept non-native apps for its smartwatch.
Right now, watchOS application developers have two possibilities: create an application that runs from the iPhone or a native application, a novelty that came with Watch 2.0. When an application is not native, the Apple Watch has to consult the information of the iPhone constantly, something that we could say, badly but to be understood, which is as if the execution of the iPhone was being reflected on the Apple Watch. When we do not run an application directly on a device, it is easier for us to see certain jerks when interacting with them.
As of June 1, all applications for the Apple Watch must be native
La Worldwide Developers Conference 2016 will take place June 13-17, a couple of weeks after the day that no more non-native apps will be accepted for the Apple Watch. If there are no surprises, watchOS 3.0 will be presented on the first day of the program and this petition, published in the developer page, it might suggest that the next version of Apple's mobile operating system will come with something big.
In any case, and whatever they present, that they no longer accept non-native applications for the Apple Watch is very good news, if not that they tell all those users who are still waiting Native WhatsApp for your smart watch. It remains to be seen how much performance improves from that day on.
I have the Watch and I have not noticed lag in absolutely any application. What happens with non-native apps (and by the way, with native ones too, but less accentuated…) is that apps take a lifetime to obtain data and load the app in general. For example, if you receive a notification from Telegram and you respond to it from the same notification, it is perfect and at the moment; But if you open the Telegram app to send a message, it takes forever to load both the list of chats and the messages of a chat when you select it. And the same happens with native apps like Facebook Messenger, they take a little less time, but it is still practically the same time as taking out the mobile and performing the same operation, then the clock loses much of its meaning.
The truth is that I cannot complain too much, because I got it for a quarter of the sale price, but even so it does not seem like a gadget that is worth what they officially ask for it, far from it, in any of the 3 versions .
