Wearable Technology: 9 of the Most Amazing Garmin Singapore

Wearable technology made for consumers can be distinguished into two popular widgets – the fitness tracker and the smartwatch. Even if they may seem similar at first, technically speaking, these are two different gadgets.

Fitness trackers and smartwatches have a lot of similar features, which makes choosing between the two a bit puzzling.

Read the article below to know more about smartwatches and fitness trackers.

Smartwatch

Smart watches are computerized wristwatches and the most efficient wearable tech with fitness tracking capabilities that go way beyond this and incorporate much of the functions as your smartphone.

A smartwatch is more like a wearable computer because it’s a combination of a wristwatch, smartphone, and fitness tracker. It’s like an extension of your smartphone that can do almost anything your smartphone can do.

Smartwatches have cell phone capability meaning it can send notifications like new text, email, or social media message to your smartwatch, along with incoming call notifications, and calendar event notifications.

Moreover, you can even go through photo galleries on your phone from your smartwatch. You can also access Google Now and Siri with your smartwatch using just your voice just like you do with your smartphones.

Some wear Smartwatches for fun or as a fashion statement because a smartwatch not only looks great on your wrist but it should also tell you more than just the time.

Fitness Tracker

Fitness tracker, also known as an activity tracker, is a standalone device that can be worn on the wrist or in multiple locations on the body.

As the name suggests, it’s a wearable device, such as Garmin Singapore watches that monitors your daily physical activities and fitness-related metrics such as steps, running distance, heart rate, sleep patterns, swimming laps, calories burned, and more.

It’s an activity tracker that acts like a smartwatch but does more than just showing time.

Whether you’re a fitness freak or a gym nut or a casual runner, fitness trackers are specifically designed to keep you in your best shape by keeping tabs on your daily activities.

If you’re a fitness freak that wants everything fitness related and nothing else, then fitness tracker is your thing.

Takeaway

Smartwatches and fitness trackers are two different stand-alone devices that are used in a variety of situations for many different purposes and with many different populations.

Ultimately, your preference for a smartwatch or a fitness band comes down to personal use, and what’s most important to you.

A smartwatch is an all-purpose kind of accessory that can help you stay even more connected to your life back home.

However, if your main preoccupation is keeping fit, a fitness band can help keep your eyes fixed firmly on the prize. They also have a longer battery life.
