Key Features
Among those who rely on smartwatches, several features consistently appear as indispensable attributes. While the list differs depending on your individual needs, here are a few of the top reasons to consider adding a smartwatch to your collection:
Fitness Tracking – A smartwatch can keep track of your daily steps, and so much more, including heart rate and blood pressure monitoring, workout tracking, and sleep measurement.
Safe Traveling – Equipped with GPS, smartwatches can both track your location and guide you to where you want to be.
Social Media – All your social media accounts, on your wrist and at your fingertips.
Call and Text – With Bluetooth connectivity, a smartwatch can make and receive phone calls, and send and receive text messages, all without digging out your cell phone.
Find Your Phone – Speaking of cell phones, if you happen to misplace yours, most smartphones have a Find Your Phone feature that will help you do just that.
Music On The Go – Keep your phone in your pocket and your playlist in your ears.
Tell Time – Yep, a smartwatch does that, too.
