Vibration Alerting For Wearables Devices

Smart wearable devices are a new area that has become popular in recent years. All technology companies including Apple, Microsoft, Google, Huawei, and Xiaomi have all developed their smartwatches or smart wristbands. With the development of science and technology, smart wearable devices cannot only count steps, display time, but also answer calls, send and receive text messages, and display heart rate. To some extent, it is a simplified smartphone. Many experts predict that smartwatches will ultimately replace traditional watches in the future.
