TOP 10 BENEFITS TO OWNING A SMART WATCH
Watches have always been a great accessory to any outfit. They help us keep track of time without having to pull out our phones from our pockets or bags. Smartwatches provide the same functionality as traditional watches but have added features that can help you maintain or improve your fitness and health.
1. Function and Fashionable
Watches are a great accessory that can complement any outfit for any occasion. However, the only thing they can do is tell you time, a function that our smartphones can do. With our smartphones we can check calendars, read texts, make phone calls, and more. Smartwatches combine the best of both worlds. Smartwatches can help you read texts, make calls, count steps, and let you purchase different straps to match your style.
2. Find Your Phone
Have you ever been getting ready to go meet with friends or family and suddenly you can't find your phone? You're sure that you left it in one location but somehow it's not in that location. This frustration of playing hide and seek with your phone can be avoided with a smartwatch. Most smartwatches come with a feature to help find your phone by making it ring even if the phone is on silent.
3. Fitness Tracking
Keeping track of your fitness goals is great for your overall health. Smartwatches integrate features that help you stay on track and make improvements. These features may include a heart rate monitor, pedometer, sleep monitor, and more apps to help you accomplish your fitness goals.
4. Stay Informed While Doing Activities
Smartwatches allow you to read notifications while you’re doing activities that can make taking out your phone not possible or interrupt your workout. You may receive a message or notification you want to read while you’re out for a run, cycling, or swimming. Some smartwatches are also waterproof that lets you stay in the pool and read your messages from your wrist.
5. Make and Receive Calls
Have you ever missed a call because your phone was in another room, forgot to take phone off silent mode, or couldn’t hear it ring because you left it in your bag or backpack? Some smartwatches allow you to make and receive calls.
6. Health data on your wrist
Understanding your body helps you make better decisions to maintain your well-being. Smartwatches help you monitor different aspects of your health such as blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen, and sleep. By having this information in an easy to access spot, you can adjust your workout or activity.
7. Control your Music on the go
Having a smart watch helps you control your music playlist while being active. Instead of having to slow down your run or stop completely to pull out your phone to skip to next song, keep up your pace and use your watch. There are some smart watches that let you add music on the watch to listen to or download music streaming apps like Spotify.
8. Contactless Payment
Some smartwatches include NFC functionality which allows you to pay at contactless payment readers without your card or phone. This allows you to use Apple Pay, Android Pay, Garmin Pay, Samsung Pay, or Fitbit Pay to make purchases.
9. Turn by Turn Navigation
Smartwatches make getting around a new city or area easier and safer than just your phone. Most smartwatches allow you to download a map app like Google Maps and follow directions to your destination. This reduces your chances of dropping your phone.
10. Customization Options
Smartwatches allow you to customize the look of your watch face. You can change the look based on mood or depending on the event you’re attending. Some also allow you to add an image for your watch face.
Smartwatches combine the functionality of traditional watches and add additional features like heart rate monitoring, step counter, sports modes, and many others. These benefits can help the active and casual fitness goer maintain or improve their fitness goals.
