FREMONT, CA: A smartwatch is a wristwatch with a touch screen that may be connected to a phone via Bluetooth or WiFi. Some additional models do not need to be connected to the phone to work. Smartwatches, like traditional wristwatches, tell the time. On the other hand, a smartwatch does more than just tell the time; it also has smartphone-like functions. Here are some advantages of wearing a smartwatch.
Health and Fitness
Smartwatches are valuable tools for keeping track of one's fitness. Smartwatches include lifestyle-enhancing functions such as pedometers, which track how many steps a user takes throughout the day. They also have a heart rate monitor to keep track of their heart rate when exercising. Other fitness and health capabilities available on smartwatches include sleep monitors that track the quality and quantity of sleep a user gets, ECG monitors, and blood pressure monitors.
Locating the Phone and the Key
Imagine heading out for an important meeting or one is running late for a trip and they cannot find the keys or phone. One can instantly locate their phone using the "Find Your Phone" feature on smartwatches. When users begin to find the phone process on the smartwatch, the phone will start ringing at full volume. To use their wristwatch to find a key, all one has to do is connect a specialized key finder to the key, install the key finder's software on the smartwatch, and click on it whenever they need to find the key.
Make and Receive Calls
Users can use their smartwatch to make and receive calls on the smartphone if it is connected to a phone. Users can now make calls without having to link their smartwatch to a phone. Some smartwatch models include a SIM card slot, allowing users to make and receive calls solely through their timepieces.
Notifications
Smartwatches allow users to check their phone notifications without taking their hands off their wrists. Once connected to a smartphone, smartwatches can get social media notifications, app notifications, and messaging notifications. With a flick of the wrist, users can stay up to date.
