Wearable technology like smartwatches can help us meet our fitness goals. These devices are versatile enough to carry out several hands-free functions, while we go about our daily activities. From receiving text messages or emails to GPS location tracking, a smartwatch offers more convenience when synced with your mobile phone. It is portable and lightweight, easy to carry around wherever you go.

The biggest barrier to using wearables is their limited battery life. Some smartwatches can be used for a full day or two on a single charge, depending on the brand. Others exhaust their battery in less than a day of normal use. You need to charge it daily to ensure continuous usage.

Another disadvantage would be the cost. The price difference between a smartwatch and a mobile phone is not that much. Some users would find buying a smartphone a better deal because it has more advantage in terms of screen size and storage. Moreover, certain smartwatch models are not water-resistant and have a shorter lifespan than mobile devices.

A smartwatch performs a general set of functions and fitness tracking is just one of them. It notifies users of recently received mails and text messages and has a whole range of activity monitors beyond fitness. On the other hand, a fitness tracker, also called a fitness band, is equipped with activity trackers that solely focus on health and exercise.

Compared to fitness trackers, you can cover more activities and functions when you wear a smartwatch. This is the best device for multitaskers who want to keep fit, receive work notifications and be on the loop at the same time. A smartwatch is a great companion for people on-the-go as it helps you adopt a well-rounded lifestyle. Built-in health monitors allow you to accomplish fitness goals while never missing important emails and messages.

Different smartwatch brands and models have different charging systems. Generally, however, you need a USB cable that connects the device to a power source. Some variants can be charged without a charger. Power Banks and certain USB ports may accommodate your smartwatch brand and model. There are also Dock Micro Type-C magnetic chargers you can use for faster results. When in doubt, check your manual for information or consult an expert.
