For a smartwatch to be seen a smartwatch, the minimum requirement is that it needs to be able to show you the time. This may sound obvious however in the age of modern technology it’s often the most logical aspects of tech which we sometimes overlook. Even though features and designs vary, smartwatches can help to save you time and keep better tabs on your health as well as your fitness goals. Most have built-in fitness metrics, for example a heart rate sensor. Some may act as an extension of your phone, while other kinds are marketed as health-focused devices.
Top-tier smartwatches from the likes of Apple, Samsung and Fitbit are ultimately miniature phones which wrap around your wrist. They run pint-size apps, allow you to control your smartphone remotely. Smartwatches are capable of phone-like tasks such as tracking your run around a park, storing music as well as even making phone calls through a tiny SIM card.
However, if you are new to the fitness scene or would like to buy a smartwatch, you could want to pay close attention to the rated battery life when shopping around. Hybrid smartwatches which look more like analogue timepieces tend to have the longest battery life, but they don’t have touchscreens, so it’s best to keep this in mind.
