Smart watches are packed with features that go beyond telling time. From fitness tracking to smart phone integration, they are helpful tools to help you improve your health and stay productive. Here are some of the key features that you may want to compare when shopping for the right smart watch for you.
Health and fitness tracker
These days, smart watches give you a leg up on tracking your health. Heart rate monitoring helps you measure your heartbeat to ensure you’re getting the right cardio workout. Sleep tracking helps you monitor your sleep patterns and provides insights so you can improve your sleep quality. Step tracking can help you get your daily steps in, check the calories you burned in a workout, and how many minutes you were active. And many smart watches come with sports modes to track different types of workouts like yoga, swimming, biking, and running.
Device pairing and connectivity
Smart watches have added value for their ability to receive calls, texts, and app notifications from a smart phone. Syncing with your smart phone is important, so be sure to find a smart watch that can connect with your phone. In some cases, it’s not simply Android or Apple. Samsung watches, for instance, may have more capabilities when paired with Samsung phones as opposed to other Android devices.
Voice assistants that integrate with AI are great for hands-free control of your smart watch and phone. You may also be able to locate your misplaced phone with the help of your smart watch. Contactless payments are also supported for many watch brands through technologies like NFC.
Durability and battery life
With time, smart watches have gotten tougher, and battery lives longer. Many smart watches are water-resistant, which is great for swimming and daily wear in rainy weather. With thick, chemically strengthened glass reinforced screens and heavy, resistant metals like titanium, newer watches are built to be better able to withstand accidents and extreme conditions. And battery life can last anywhere from a day to several days, depending on your usage and the battery’s capacity.
Safety
More and more, smart watches may help people to stay safe. Some smart watch models can detect if your heart is not beating and alert emergency services. Some watches can help you sound an alarm to alert people in your vicinity when you need help. Other watches can help you detect if you’ve fallen or crashed in a vehicle.
Adding a smart watch to your mobile plan
Adding a smart watch to your mobile plan allows you to make calls, send texts, and stream music even when your phone isn’t nearby. It’s perfect for staying connected during workouts, outdoor activities, or anytime you want to travel light. Shop smartwatches with Xfinity.
