It was not the most anticipated moment of the afternoon, tomorrow in the United States, but it was an interesting one: Pokémon GO for Apple Watch It was announced at the September keynote featuring the iPhone 7 and Apple Watch Series 2, among other things. It's been three months since then, but users of the Apple Watch and the famous Nintendo and Niantic title have only been able to see one delay after another. From the looks of it, we already know the real reason for these delays.
The reason for these delays, which do not mean that Pokémon GO for Apple Watch will not be a reality, is none other than Niantic is preparing to launch its own wearable next month, a bracelet that could be used in his own games. A) Yes has let you know a source to 9to5mac, who would have assured him that the delay is being sought to buy time to launch the Nex + Ingress Band, a bracelet with a name similar to another product (Nex Band Evolution) that started a campaign of through crowdfunding at the beginning of this year. The campaign disappeared shortly after, but it seems that it will end up coming out of the hand of Niantic.
Nex + Ingress Band, Niantic bracelet compatible with Pokémon GO
La Nex + Ingress Band It includes 5 screens, or a screen divided into 5 parts, formed by LEDs of various colors that offer personalized notifications and icons, an autonomy of more than 4 days and sports functions, which would be enough to do the same as the Apple Watch when it we used to play Pokémon GO.
Personally, I am not sure about the success of this Niantic device. If we have learned anything from wearable devices, it is that it is a difficult market in which only the Apple Watch, some Samsung watches, few (almost none) Android Wear smartwatches and sports wristbands such as Fitbit's are succeeding. I believe that, Niantic games compatibility In addition, to attract the attention of users, they can only do so at a reduced price. How do you see it? Would you buy this Niantic bracelet to play Pokémon GO, for notifications and sports?
