Amawashi ahlakaniphile angokoqobo emakethe yanamuhla, futhi asazodlala indima enkulu ngonyaka ozayo. Kodwa-ke, ngeke zifane nama-smartphones, kunomehluko obonakalayo ngempela, ikakhulukazi kulokho okuhlobene nomklamo. Ingabe amawashi ahlakaniphile kufanele agcine idizayini yawo ingunaphakade, njengamawashi endabuko?
Omakhalekhukhwini ngaleso sikhathi babengamadivayisi amasha ngokuphelele, umsebenzi wawo kwakuwukushaya ngocingo. Bebelokhu beshintsha idizayini kusukela kwethulwa eyokuqala, futhi imisebenzi eyengeziwe iye yengezwa phakathi neminyaka baze bafinyelela kuma-smartphone. Nokho, okufanayo akwenzeki endabeni yamawashi ahlakaniphile, asekelwe kumawashi avamile. Futhi, amawashi asephenduke isesekeli semfashini, esihluka ngesitayela nokuklama kuye ngobuntu nokuthanda komuntu oyigqokile. Lokhu kwenze amawashi amaningi ajwayelekile abe yizicucu ezihlukile, izithonjana zangempela. Amanye amamodeli aseneminyaka eminingi enziwa, futhi nakuba eshintshwa kancane, ayaqhubeka nokukhishwa unyaka nonyaka. Sinezibonelo kokwakudala i-Swatch, noma i-Mondaine, kodwa nakwamanye asezingeni eliphezulu njenge-Hamilton Ventura, ezokhumbuleka nangokuvela kumamuvi wethelevishini. Akekho ocabanga ukuthi abakhiqizi bayayeka ukukhipha amawashi abo aziwa kakhulu. Ingabe kufanele benze okufanayo ngamawashi ahlakaniphile?
Phakathi kwemihlahlandlela yokuklanywa okuhle kuka-Dieter Rams kukhona eyodwa ehlaba umxhwele, futhi esingayithola ku-Wikipedia:
Inenani elihlala njalo le-anachronistic - Yonke imfashini iyadlula futhi izimele. Ukwenziwa okulungile kwedizayini enhle kuphumela emikhiqizweni ehloselwe ngokwemvelo newusizo ngokwe-anachronistic. Lezi zimfanelo zibonakala lapho abasebenzisi bevame ukwazisa futhi bathande imikhiqizo eklanywe kahle ngisho nasemiphakathini okuthrenda kwayo abathengi ngokusobala kuvumela imikhiqizo elahlekayo.
Kusekelwe eqinisweni lokuthi into ethile eyimfashini izodlula futhi ibe sesikhathini esedlule, kuyilapho ukuklama okuhle akufanele kwenzeke, kodwa abasebenzisi kufanele bafune ukugcina imikhiqizo enjalo. Kwenzeka ngewashi, futhi kwenzeka ngepeni lomthombo, abasebenzisi bavame ukuligcina njengento eyigugu. Futhi okufanayo kufanele kwenzeke ngomklamo omuhle. Abasebenzisi kufanele bajwayele ukunamathela kulokho okuklanywe kahle.
Okufanayo kungenzeka emhlabeni wama-smartphone namawashi ahlakaniphile. Kuyiqiniso ukuthi kuzodingeka sengeze imisebenzi nezingxenye futhi sethule i-Motorola Moto 720 noma i-Apple Watch 2, kodwa ingabe kufanele bashintshe umklamo? Uma ngabe umklamo omuhle ngempela uzuziwe, abasebenzisi kufanele bafune ukugcina ukubukeka kwalelo washi, njengoba bebengenza ngewashi elivamile. Ukushintshwa kwewashi eliphezulu akudingeki ukuthi kuholele ekushintsheni komklamo wewashi elishiwo, kungathinta kuphela ukuguqulwa kwezingxenye, isibonelo. Noma uma udinga isikrini esikhulu, singaba sikhulu, kodwa sibukeke sifana. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngisho noma ezinye izinguqulo zethulwe nezinye imiklamo, kungani ungagcini umklamo wangempela nezingxenye ezintsha bese wethula izinguqulo ezihlukile? Yebo, amayunithi ambalwa ewashi ngalinye azothengiswa, futhi kuzodingeka kwenziwe izinguqulo ezimbili, okuzokwenza intengo yenguqulo ngayinye ibize kakhulu. Kodwa akuwona yini amawashi? Mhlawumbe yilokhu okumele bakwenze ukuncintisana namawashi esintu.
Imikhiqizo efana ne-Tag Heuer, noma i-Swatch, ibonakala ikulungele ukwethula amawashi abo ahlakaniphile emakethe ngonyaka ozayo ka-2015. Kubonakala kungavamile ukuthi lezi zinkampani zikhetha ukwethula amawashi ahlukene kunalawo asenawo, noma ukwethula iwashi elihlukile minyaka yonke. Yiziphi izinkampani ezizobusa imakethe ye-smartwatch, lezo eziphethe imakethe yewashi, noma lezo eziphethe imakethe yemishini ehlakaniphile? Sizokwazi nje ukuthi ngonyaka ozayo. Nakuba sifuna ukuhlala sicabanga. Uma eminyakeni emine kusukela manje bekufanele uthenge iwashi elihlakaniphile elinomklamo wenye yamawashi ahlakaniphile alo nyaka, kanye nemisebenzi eyengeziwe, bekungaba yini? Impendulo yalowo mbuzo iveza ukuthi iyiphi inkampani okwamanje eklama okungcono kakhulu. Ungakhohlwa ukunikeza umbono wakho kumazwana.
Uma impendulo yakho ithi I-Motorola Moto 360Bheka lesi sihloko esikhuluma ngaso lapho ungathenga khona eSpain.
