Smartwatches also provide the basic features of a digital watch. You get a wide range of time-related functions.
Along with the ability to choose different watch faces, you can typically use your smartwatch as a stopwatch, timer, or alarm clock.
Some of the latest smartwatches double as wearable fitness devices. Manufacturers add various peripheral devices to increase the function of the watch. You may find smartwatches that include:
- Pedometers
- Heart rate monitors
- Activity trackers
- Sleep monitors
- Blood pressure monitors
One of the newer features found on the latest generation of smartwatches is hands-free calling. The newer smartwatches allow you to send and receive phone calls.
The method for completing the calls depends on the type of watch. If the watch has a phone SIM card, it connects to a cellular network to handle the calling features.
If the watch syncs with your smartphone, it acts as a hands-free speaker and microphone.
