How do they work?

Smart watches work using a technology Microsoft developed called Smart Personal Object Technology, or SPOT

Microsoft introduced SPOT at Comdex in 2002.

Page 10: Sit smartwatches presentation wiki

Chris Schneider, Senior Program Manager of SPOT, describes the technology:

“SPOT is a new computing platform designed to bring the power of .NET to everyday objects. SPOT allows for enhanced miniaturization, low power consumption and a low cost solution allowing for accessories such as watches to become more purposeful through the power of software.”

How does SPOT work?

SPOT uses FM broadcasting, like the kind picked up by a radio, to deliver Web-based data to Smart objects.

Smart watches receive more than 200 channels of information that are broadcast on a radio spectrum leased by Microsoft.

4 companies producing SPOT: Suunto, Fossil, Tissot, and Swatch.

generate sound. PCB (printed circuit board) - The PCB in the Smart Watch houses the CPU,

memory and radio chip. DirectBand radio receiver chip - This is how online servers connect to the

watch. - These chips are the heart of SPOT technology.
