“I think the Wrist is Interesting”, Apple CEO Tim Cook 2013
“我认为手腕很有趣”， 苹果首席执行官蒂姆·库克，2013年
The human wrist is a highly valuable “real-estate” for sensing the human body. Nerve bundles and arteries pass directly beneath the skin thus it is possible to sense the electrical conductance of the nerves and other bodily functions and collect valuable user data. The major wrist bio-signals that are measured and monitored today include wrist general movement, heartbeat, ECG irregularity, skin temperature, breathing, sleep quality, and hydration.
人类的手腕是感知人体的极有价值的“房地产”。 神经束和动脉直接穿过皮肤下方，因此可以感知神经的电导率和其他身体功能，并收集有价值的用户数据。 今天测量和监视的主要腕部生物信号包括腕部一般运动，心跳，ECG不规则，皮肤温度，呼吸，睡眠质量和水合。
While a wearable can be found on almost any area of the body, the most prevalent wearables are wrist-worn: the fitness band and the smart watch. On top of the fitness band, the smart watch can track fitness-related metrics such as distance walked and calorie consumption and it can also display notifications, play music and run various applications.
尽管可穿戴设备几乎可以在人体的任何部位找到，但最普遍的可穿戴设备是腕戴式：健身手环和智能手表。 在健身带上，智能手表可以跟踪与健身相关的指标，例如步行距离和卡路里消耗，并且还可以显示通知，播放音乐和运行各种应用程序。
Recently, some researchers even claim that a smart watch could eventually be used as a corona virus (Covid-19) early-warning system, as data from the device can reveal symptoms before the person even realizes his sickness.
最近，一些研究人员甚至声称， 智能手表最终可以用作日冕病毒(Covid-19)预警系统 ，因为来自该设备的数据可以在人意识到自己的病之前揭示症状。
从口袋到手腕 (From the pocket to the wrist)
Humans have always adorned their bodies with gadgetry — be it for show, for utility, or both. They have been using tools and their hands for thousands of years, for controlling the environment by movement, for sensing, and for communicating through hand movements and gestures.
人类总是用小玩意来装饰自己的身体，无论是为了展示，还是为了实用，或两者兼而有之。 他们使用工具和手已有数千年的历史，用于通过运动控制环境，进行传感以及通过手势和手势进行通信。
The shift of the watch case from a chained-pocket watch to the wrist-worn watch started in World War I as soldiers needed a “hands-free” timepiece in the battlefield. The public’s conception of a wrist watch as a women’s accessory has shifted, unshackling Men from the chained watch concept to a wearable watch. With the emergent of commercial aviation the wrist-watch gained popularity among pilots for aerial navigation, and the post World War II industry embraced the wrist watch as a common productivity tool.
第一次世界大战期间，由于士兵们在战场上需要“免提”时计，表壳从链式怀表转变为腕式表。 公众将手表作为女士配饰的概念已经从松紧的手表概念转变为可穿戴的手表。 随着商业航空的出现，手表在空中航行的飞行员中越来越受欢迎，二战后的工业将手表作为通用的生产率工具。
The watch band, also named watch strap, or watch bracelet, straps the watch case (screen) onto the back of wrist. It can be made of various materials such as rubber, leather, plastic, or metal. The market is filled with amazing band styles and designs, at prices ranging from less than $1.0 to the neighborhood of roughly a Thousand dollars for a Apple Watch Seriesd 5 Hermès band.
表带(也称为表带或表带)将表壳(屏幕)绑在手腕背面。 它可以由各种材料制成，例如橡胶，皮革，塑料或金属。 市场上充满了惊人的表带样式和设计，价格从不到1.0美元到Apple Watch Seriesd 5Hermès表带的大约数千美元不等。
现在有表带市场 (There is now a market for watch bands)
Unlike the traditional classic timepiece’ strap which was considered an integral part of the watch, the smart watch band and specifically the Apple Watch band has a big growing market for all sorts of bands.
与传统的经典时计表带(被视为手表不可或缺的一部分)不同，智能表带(特别是Apple Watch表带)在各种表带上都有广阔的增长市场。
Balancing the features of the watch for all day comfort and durability in the very active wrist area requires the right selection of band and case key factors: (1)band thickness, (2)band width, (3)band material, (4)case diameter size and (5)case thickness. The general guideline rule is that the bigger your wrist is, the bigger watch case and band you will wear. Apple watch case sizes vary from 38mm to 44mm, whereas the Garmin Fenix 6X largest case is 51mm in diameter.
要在非常活跃的手腕区域平衡手表的全天舒适性和耐用性，就需要正确选择表带和表壳的关键因素：(1)表带厚度，(2)表带宽度，(3)表带材料，(4)表壳直径大小和(5)表壳厚度。 一般准则是，手腕越大，您要佩戴的表壳和表带就越大。 苹果手表的表壳尺寸从38mm到44mm不等，而Garmin Fenix 6X最大的表壳直径为51mm。
The Apple Watch case back is packed with Optical heart sensor (PPG) and Electrical heart sensor (electrodes) which cover the back of the wrist. Measuring additional bio-metrics such as temperature, sweat or hydration will require placing sensors along the wrist area, and supplying them with power, miniaturized electronics, and communication to the watch itself.
Apple Watch表壳的背面装有光学式心脏传感器(PPG)和电子式心脏传感器(电极)，它们覆盖了手腕的后部。 要测量温度，汗水或水合度等其他生物特征，需要沿着手腕区域放置传感器，并为它们提供电源，微型电子设备以及与手表本身的通讯。
Placing additional electronics on the wrist can also improve the watch performance and battery life, due to the limitations of the case size. Thus, the smart watch band becomes a valuable real estate for future expansion of the smartwatch’ performance and capabilities.
由于表壳尺寸的限制，在手腕上放置其他电子设备也可以提高手表性能和电池寿命。 因此，智能手表表带成为未来扩展智能手表性能和功能的宝贵资产。
Adding additional hardware on the Apple Watch band to make it smarter is great for:
在Apple Watch表带上添加其他硬件以使其更智能，这非常适合：
- placing sensors which detect bio-potentials along the full wrist area, for additional health/fitness tracking or for other use-cases 放置传感器以检测整个腕部区域的生物电势，以进行其他健康/健身跟踪或其他用例
- moving some of the existing hardware from the case inside to the band to balance the case size and band form factor 将一些现有的硬件从机箱内部移至乐队，以平衡机箱的尺寸和乐队的外形尺寸
- upgrading a watch specifications by improving the battery life, sound quality and power, and the user experience and interaction 通过改善电池寿命，声音质量和功率以及用户体验和互动来升级手表规格
我们可以从Apple中学到什么，以了解手腕的未来 (What can we learn from Apple on the future of the wrist)
There have been a few Apple patents which suggest that Apple might be planning to add watch functionality or additional sensors into the band. These patents include smart bands that each will provide a very specific new functionality such as fingerprint sensor or temperature sensor, a band with infra-red sensors to scan the veins and translate finger gestures to control AR/VR games, a self-adjusting watch band, a Wrist-ID Biometric authentication sensor, and more.
苹果公司拥有一些专利，这表明苹果公司可能正在计划在表带中增加手表功能或其他传感器。 这些专利包括智能带，每个带都将提供非常特定的新功能，例如指纹传感器或温度传感器，带有红外传感器的带(用于扫描静脉并转换手指手势以控制AR / VR游戏)，自动调节表带。 ，Wrist-ID生物特征认证传感器等。
Samsung also has patents for embedding a battery into the watch strap, and a patent for detachable sensors for the watch band.
三星还拥有将电池嵌入表带的专利，以及表带的可拆卸传感器的专利。
All in all, the use-cases include moving hardware into the band (battery, electronic modules), and adding sensors along the wrist circumference, be it for health monitoring, for identifications or for improving user-experience and interaction.
总而言之，这些用例包括将硬件移动到表带(电池，电子模块)中，以及沿着手腕圆周添加传感器，以用于健康监测，识别或改善用户体验和交互。
您可以在当今市场上找到智能的Apple Watch表带 (You can find smart Apple Watch bands in the market today)
Some companies already introduced external (after market) smart wrist bands for the Apple Watch and other smart watches. These products include ergonomic straps, battery banks, additional bio-metric sensors, audio and vibrations experiences, and control and interaction options for the watch or for other devices. They come in the form of a buckle, a clip, or a full watch band. Here is a short list of some of them:
一些公司已经为Apple Watch和其他智能手表引入了外部(售后)智能腕带。 这些产品包括符合人体工程学的表带，电池组，其他生物识别传感器，音频和振动体验以及手表或其他设备的控制和交互选项。 它们以带扣，夹子或完整表带的形式出现。 以下是其中一些的简短列表：
