What is a Smartwatch and what do they do?
A smartwatch is essentially your phone in a watch form. Most smartwatches have a touch-screen face, a host of apps, send you notifications and can track your fitness and health through various trackers. We're talking heart rate, step count, sleep, calories burned, your period, even your bloody oxygen levels!
They have Smartphone features including built-in Bluetooth, volume control, built-in GPS and a built-in speaker.

It can also detect when you’ve started a workout, and alerts you to fire up the Workout app, and is water resistant up to 50metres. It’s extremely intuitive, and alerts the wearer if they have unusually high or low heart rate and of course comes with the standard Smartwatch features including notifications, app usage and Smartpay.
