Smartwatches

Smartwatches are a trend in recent years. A smartwatch is an smartphone extension connected to it wirelessly via Bluetooth. They are designed to mainly show notifications, though smartwatches also let you control some functions of your smartphone. The favourites are smartwatches by Samsung, Sony, Asus, Motorola, Huawei and others.

Functions

Although smartwatches are autonomous to a certain extent and operate separately, they are designed to work with a smart phone. Smart watches display a lot of useful information from the phone, so you can keep it in your pocket and stop checking it every few minutes. You smartwatch will tell you if you have received a text message, e-mail, or an event reminder. Watches can even accept or reject calls and control music.

Operating system

Just like smartphones and tablets, smartwatches too are based on operating systems. The Android watches are run by operating systems Android and Android Wear, while Samsung Gear S is equipped with the Tizen operating system. These watches can be purchased in black or white colour, making them fine men's and women’s watches. Apple Watch uses the operating system WatchOS and it is one of the few smartwatch types that can be connected to an iPhone.

Monitor your heart rate

A number of smartwatches, such as the Samsung Gear Fit, are water and dust-resistant, have removable straps, heart rate monitor, and a set of fitness tools. A smartwatch can thus serve as a fitness tracker for daily activities. Apple Watch is a bit special, with its sapphire glass and Digital Crown.
