In the following, we will go over what should be paid attention to if someone wants to buy a really good smartwatch, and we will also look for an answer to whether it makes sense to buy such a thing at all.
The most important question we have to ask ourselves is why do we want to buy a smart watch, what do we want to use it for?
Because it has countless functions, and some models may differ in which of these many things they are better at, and what should be done with them.
For example, for more serious sports, one prefers to buy a smart bracelet rather than Apple’s smart watch, since the latter is more unpleasant to leave or break if the situation turns out that way.
Another important aspect is whether we need a smart watch at all? A barefoot smartphone application can do the vast majority of the many functions with the same efficiency, it can also count steps, monitor sleep, measure your heart rate, and even tune your guitar, if that’s the case.
If someone does more serious sports, i.e. runs even in the rain or goes swimming regularly, a smartphone will obviously not be enough to accurately measure their activity. On the other hand, if you only use your watch for this occasionally, you might needlessly spend nearly HUF 100,000 for such a device.
Selection by functions
Of course, the situation will be different if, for example, we are notorious car talkers, so it’s better to have that watch on our wrist, as if we were holding the phone with one hand, although the hands-free operation of the device can be a good solution for this as well.
But then maybe just flanking is good? The matter is a bit more complex than this, because the smart watch is a serious convenience factor.
With a single glance at our wrist, we can find out what is currently on our phone, who called, wrote, or why the reminder is coming. So a smartwatch can be useful and cool, even if it’s not a vital thing to own.
A companion in everyday life and at work
When choosing, it is worth keeping in mind that not all smartwatches can be used to make phone calls. Don’t look for a watch that has a built-in camera, even though plans have already been leaked on how they want to build a camera into some models.
On the other hand, it can be a useful companion at work if you send the notifications – be it SMS or e-mail – immediately to our arm, because that way nothing escapes our attention. The notification function can also be useful if, for example, someone has to regularly take medicine or some kind of vitamin.
Everyone has probably faced the problem of not being able to find their phone anywhere. Not to be neglected is the function of smart watches, that several models can make our phone ring, so that you don’t have to go through everything for it.
But a smart watch that can detect when we pass out or have an accident in a car can even save our lives.
For lovers of elegance
Why do we love it?
The watch is made of quality material and developed in detail, i.e. due to its elegant appearance, it can be a perfect companion not only in sports. Many user reviews state that the 14-day operating time specified by the manufacturer is indeed fulfilled by the watch on a single charge.
The device can measure a total of 100 training modes quite accurately, and it appears as an extra function compared to its peers, the
remote camera feature that lets you launch your phone’s camera and take a picture by touching the watch’s screen.
Disadvantages
Due to the durable titanium housing, its weight is more significant compared to its peers. Some people complained that the text is very small, which is possible because the digital display is slightly smaller compared to the width of the watch.
Who do we recommend?
Those who, in addition to a sporty lifestyle, want an elegant watch that goes perfectly with elegant clothing as well as everyday wear.
Which provides the music for training
Why do we love it?
Not only in its appearance, but also in its knowledge, this watch was specifically intended for sports lovers, which can measure activity in 150 different modes quite accurately. In addition, thanks to its huge storage space, it provides music through the speaker or wireless earphones during training. Of course, on top of all that, it also has GPS, which, according to the manufacturer, tells us exactly where we are, even in a forest environment, with 99 percent accuracy.
Disadvantages
Many people also wear the watch as a kind of jewelry. However, this model does not necessarily match an elegant outfit.
Who do we recommend?
For those who want to keep track of their sports activities, but don’t want to spend a lot of money on a smart watch. There was a user who noted in the reviews that this device is a perfect transition from an older Apple Watch to a newer and more sophisticated device.
For those who care about price
Why do we love it?
Because it is an ideal entry-level smart watch.
It is affordable and, at the same time, has almost the same level of essential features as its peers in a couple of price categories above it.
Its operating time is strong, it does not need to be charged every two or three days, its pedometer and heart rate monitor are reliable, the device itself is waterproof up to a certain point, and its design is also elegant, it can also be worn as a plain watch.
Disadvantages
Several people indicated that the clock measures somewhat inaccurately in some sports modes. Another disadvantage is that the battery only lasts 22 days in the ‘long battery life mode’, in the case of outdoor sports mode this time content is only 50 hours.
Who do we recommend?
For those who don’t want to start their acquaintance with smart watches by spending a lot of tens of thousands of forints.
Those who train with their friends
Why do we love it?
With Samsung’s smart watch, you can track almost every moment, so it’s an excellent choice for all those who want to start a more sporty lifestyle or want to track their activity more precisely. The device can even encourage you to move regularly, i.e. it not only measures your activity, but you can earn different points or badges for them, and you can even share them with the people you choose, so that your motivation is even greater.
For Apple fans
For what we love
It is one of the devices with the most functions, which also delivers what the wearer expects from it in terms of quality. It accurately tracks almost all movements, but we can even make crystal clear phone calls with it, which only a few watches can do.
Apple has also paid attention to safety, so if the watch detects a serious car accident, helps you contact the help center and notifies pre-defined contacts. The Watch Series 8 also detects when the wearer falls heavily and becomes immobilized. In this case, it will automatically dial the emergency number.
The device can be purchased in several colorsthe factory belt can also be changed according to taste.
Disadvantages
Its appearance is not similar to classic watches, so it will definitely be a good choice for those who like the round and traditional shape. Another disadvantage is that, due to Apple’s decision, the device can only be paired with IOS devices, which, like phones, have a hefty price tag. The operating time of its battery is poorer, even according to the manufacturer it can last only 18 hours on a single charge.
Who do we recommend?
For those who want a first-class smartwatch and are ready to pay a similarly first-class price. For this amount, however, you can be a companion in everyday life for many years.
