Wearable Gaming: A Collection of Premium Smartwatch Games

Mobile, tablets and phablets have all brought us closer to the screen than Computers ever could. Additionally the convenience in terms of mobile apps have greatly changed our lifestyle, shopping, browsing, entertainment or gaming patterns. It's nearly impossible to imagine a time when we didn't have communications, maps, email, trackers in our pockets. The biggest plus-point for wearable devices is their pervasiveness. You have to take a smartphone out of your pocket to check in, but wearable devices are constantly in view.

The push for more pervasiveness led to the eyeball and the wrist. The first is Google Glass, but it has not yet adopted widely because of the convenience in daily life or may be other factors. Smartwatch on wrist is a better idea of wearables. While the screen size most likely prevents smartwatch games from ever being immersive, but still game studios and developers can find a new house on it. That's where smartwatch's strength likely lies.

From a gaming perspective, there can be multiple options of gaming on smartwatches. Geocaching-style games can help the smartwatch users for traveling to a particular location, tagging or leaving remarks, or going on puzzle hunts. Another gaming use is in fitness and activity-tracking. These are currently very popular in the mobile space but they depend on manual input. A smartwatch, on the other hand, potentially takes much of the input aspect away and replaces it with passive sensors. The third use is in ambient communication. Say, for example, that your smartwatch finds someone in its area. They could take part in a game like communication with each other, possibly combating, trading or merely flirting/pinging one another.
