Productivity

Philips is a Dutch technology company known for designing and manufacturing home appliances, consumer electronics, medical equipment and lighting. Established over 100 years ago, its products can be found throughout the world. Philips is well known for its charitable giving efforts; as it sponsors multiple sports teams; longtime partner of Formula 1 team AT&T Williams as well as Australian rugby league club Balmain Tigers and Indonesian football club Persiba Balikpapan to name just three examples.

When shopping for a monitor, the first thing to keep an eye out for is its pixels per inch (PPI). PPI indicates the density of the screen and can make a big difference between sharpness and clarity. Once that has been assessed, next consider its refresh rate which measures how fast it can refresh – an especially crucial element if you’re gaming. A high refresh rate monitor will reduce image lag and maximize gaming performance.

Philips monitors with Thunderbolt 4 connectivity are capable of managing multiple protocols and data at high speeds, saving both time and space by enabling you to use just one cable for all your devices – this feature is especially advantageous when working with various file formats.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 builds upon the strengths of its predecessor and introduces some exciting new features, including being able to detect sleep apnea as well as providing you with an Energy Score to help plan your day more effectively.

It also comes equipped with a dual-frequency GPS chip, which should improve tracking accuracy significantly compared to single frequency chips found in previous models.

Features

As with previous Samsung watches, the Galaxy Watch 7 features fitness basics such as heartrate tracking and sleep monitoring; but what sets this one apart are its AI features: during workouts it can compare your current performance against past ones so as to help improve. Furthermore, you can create customized fitness routines and calculate an Energy Score based on activity from previous days; finally it even recognizes when answering calls/text messages so you don’t have to take your hands off the phone!

Underneath this device lies Samsung’s first 3-nanometer Exynos chip for lightning fast response – applications open quickly, processes complete promptly. It powers Samsung’s key Fitness and Health features that leverage BioActive Sensor data such as Energy Score and Wellness Tips similar to what Garmin and Fitbit provide with their respective Body Batteries/Readiness Scores/Tips scores/tips respectively.

Other fitness features of the watch include Multi-sport tiles for more complex workouts, GPS Trackback to guide you back to your trail starting point, and the capability of using your watch as a power meter to measure FTP without needing special equipment. You can access Galaxy Wearable app via watch itself or using one running One UI 6.1.1 or later smartphones running Android OS.

Design

Although not radically different from last year’s model, the Galaxy Watch 7 remains an elegant smartwatch. Featuring all-screen frontage with smooth stainless steel sides and two physical buttons — one on the right that takes you back to home screen via swipes or taps, and another one on the left for opening recently used apps — two-tapping on right button invokes Samsung’s digital assistant Bixby.

Underneath Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 7 lies its first 3-nanometer wearable chip: Samsung’s first ever 3-nanometer chip delivers impressive speed. Running Wear OS 5 and One UI 6, applications launch quickly, workouts begin without disruption and measurements wrap up swiftly – all thanks to this chip which also handles much of the work for BioActive Sensor on back!

The Galaxy Watch 7 includes a dual-frequency GPS antenna for superior location tracking in wooded areas, can detect falls with just one press of a button and calls emergency services with ease, features a built-in barometer to track changes in atmospheric pressure changes as well as daily light intake (which supposedly helps prevent dark circles) measurements and provides access to your barometer readings for your daily light intake measurement needs. Not intended to replace medical professionals; rather it provides access to tracking holistic metrics and workout data for wellness and fitness tracking purposes.

Battery life

In many respects, the Galaxy Watch 7 is an improvement on last year’s model. It’s faster and sleeker, boasting an improved display as well as Samsung’s signature dual-pinch feature (allowing quick access to various features on both watch and phone via two quick pinches) plus it carries FDA de novo certification for sleep apnea detection – something other big smartwatch makers have been touting for quite some time now.

Samsung’s first 3-nanometer Exynos chip is an immense upgrade from previous 2-nanometer versions, making the watch feel responsive with WearOS 5 and One UI software. Apps launch instantly, workouts begin without delay, sensors collect data quickly – all seamlessly connected to Samsung Health’s app on your phone that offers more in-depth analysis of fitness and health statistics like daily Energy Score and Sleep Score charts of your sleep patterns over time.

And it stands out with features that distinguish it from its competition, like waterproofing to 10ATM for swimming and running in rainy conditions, and an improved heart rate monitoring system with optical sensors and built-in ECG. Furthermore, this watch can be used to create custom workout routines for specific activities like yoga or biking rides by automatically recognizing their activities and providing feedback.

Performance

Samsung’s 3nm Exynos chip feels extremely responsive when combined with its upgraded BioActive sensor – now offering PPG heart rate/ECG/blood oxygen reading and bioelectric impedance analysis of body composition – creating a series of holistic health tracking features such as daily Wellness Score, sleep tracker redesign, and de novo certification for sleep apnea detection.

Though packed with additional functionality, the Galaxy Watch 7 remains very comfortable to use. Its always-on display and well-organized layout make navigating apps and settings simple; getting workouts started swiftly. Furthermore, its double pinch gesture allows users to launch or dismiss notifications, answer calls or control music playback without first needing to wake up their screen.

The Galaxy Watch 7 falls behind its competitors when it comes to battery life. My tests revealed that even with regular charging sessions, 40mm models often ran out of juice before dinnertime had arrived – while 44mm versions sometimes ran dry before lunch had arrived!

Note that while the Galaxy Watch 7 works with any Android phone, to experience all its capabilities fully you’ll require a Samsung smartphone. That’s because its designed specifically to work with Samsung Health and includes unique features like Suggested Replies, voice-to-text summaries from recordings, and sleep apnea detection.

JBL’s Go 4 speaker boasts an eye-catching design and incredible battery life in a compact form factor. Boasting JBL Pro Sound technology as well as a surprising bass response for such a small device.

Upgraded from its predecessor model, Auracast offers app support with equalization settings and the capability of pairing another speaker for stereo performance. There’s even a Playtime Boost mode to extend battery life by skipping bass altogether.

Sound

JBL Pro Sound delivers impressive audio quality despite its compact size and price. Though not the loudest portable speaker out there, the Go 4 should provide plenty of volume for day trips or evening chill sessions in smaller to medium-sized outdoor spaces. A 1.75-inch woofer and single passive radiator help this tiny speaker produce solid bass beats and crisp high frequencies – though its middling stereo performance may detract from this score; since it acts like a mono speaker rather than offering any L/R separation it may prove off-putting to some listeners.

An additional advancement of Go speakers over their predecessors is their new stereo feature, which allows you to pair two Go 4s together for enhanced stereo playback or wirelessly link them with other JBL Auracast-enabled speakers (though this does disable EQ). This should create some nice surround-sound when entertaining guests at backyard barbecues, pool parties or just relaxing at home.

The included app provides basic functions for controlling playback, monitoring battery life and renaming the Go 4. Additionally, there’s also a “PlayTime Boost” feature which extends playback by eliminating low-end frequencies to conserve energy. While I found the interface easy-to-use, additional customization options would have been welcome in terms of default EQ settings.

Design

JBL’s latest portable speaker lineup, known as the Go 4, stands out as both small and light in their portfolio of portable speakers. Measuring just 190 grams with an even smaller footprint, the Go 4 fits easily in backpacks or rucksacks without taking up too much room.

But this tiny speaker doesn’t just pack in a negligible amount of power; it also manages to defy its small size with impressively powerful and loud audio, despite its diminutive stature. While not designed for bass-heavy genres such as drum and bass, the Go 4 still packs enough punch for most listeners’ pleasure – especially its built-in Playtime Boost feature, which helps extend playback by bypassing EQ settings and sacrificing low frequencies in order to save battery life.

The design of the Go 4 speaker is both durable and water-resistant; its IP67 rating allows it to withstand being submerged in shallow water or dropped into pools, ponds, or ice buckets without damage to itself or surrounding speakers. Furthermore, this model contains partially recycled plastic materials, Auracast compatibility for multiple speaker pairing, no Type-C port cover like in Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 and Sony’s Ult Field 1 speakers, making this unit vulnerable if exposed to moisture.

Controls

JBL’s Go 4 ultraportable Bluetooth speaker lineup is an impressive upgrade on previous generations, boasting lighter weight, extended battery life and most of its same features – such as its 5-band customizable EQ that enhances music listening experience.

JBL’s Go 4 speaker stands out as being both small and affordable compared to similarly shaped competitors such as Tribit’s Stormbox Micro 2 or Go 3, offering exceptional value at under $80. It also has one of the lowest price tags of their range at just under 80 USD.

Controls on the Go 4 are straightforward: raised playback buttons are located in its top row and surrounded by silicone areas for maximum stability whether playing on a flat surface or upright in your hand. Meanwhile, its left panel houses power, Bluetooth pairing, and Auracast buttons that interact with relevant features on phones or tablets.

The JBL Go 4 splashproof speaker boasts an IP67 rating, making it safe to submerge it in water for over 30 minutes without suffering damage. When connected to other Auracast-supported speakers such as another Go 4, or any of its JBL Portable app-supported models (with Party Together feature support), stereo performance can be created; you can manage this through its EQ options or Party Together feature in JBL Portable app. Furthermore, its USB port enables hands-free calling as well as voice command functions.

Battery life

The Go 4 defies its small form, producing an engagingly robust and loud sound that fills any environment. While not intended for sub-bass heavy music like drum and bass, such as subwoofer heavy drum ‘n bass, the Go 4 still produces a pleasing punchy sound that holds its own. Furthermore, pairing is possible via wireless Auracast feature so two Go speakers may be combined to playback stereo audio or create larger home audio systems; an upgrade from previous generations which only offered mono playback without companion app functionality.

The JBL Go 4 boasts an excellent battery life of about seven hours, making it suitable for an evening party or camping trip. After this point, however, a recharge will be necessary; unlike our recommended fully waterproof speaker (Anker Soundcore Select 2S).

Note that the JBL Go 4 cannot handle hands-free calls and its Bluetooth range is fairly limited. Furthermore, its directivity falls short; off-axis listening tends to sound muddy and congested. While using its companion app’s EQ settings can help improve this, their limitations don’t completely overcome those of its design. There’s even a “Playtime Boost” setting which promises extended battery life by bypassing your EQ settings and cutting low frequencies as part of its power-conserving strategy – an effective way of increasing battery life further but we would advise keeping portable battery banks on hand for long trips!

Garmin’s Fenix line can best be described as the beefier and more robust alternative to their triathlete-favorite Forerunner 9xx series. Packed full of extra tools geared toward athletes such as Run Race Pace Guidance/Prediction and strength training workouts as well as offline mapping capabilities and music storage, these devices offer everything an athlete would ever need in a watch.

Due to all their extra features, watches with such timepieces can be more costly. Before investing, be sure to evaluate if you will actually use all these tools before committing.

Activity Tracking

Fenix Series watches have always been designed with serious athletes in mind, and the Fenix 7 is no different. Capable of tracking running, cycling and swimming (with an optional swim strap from Garmin) to a depth of 100m with optional swim strap, plus daily steps taken and floors climbed stats as well as weekly intensity minutes goal (if enabled).

Sleep Tracking

Fenix models that feature sleep tracking include the Pulse Ox5 sensor that analyses your blood oxygen levels to detect abnormal heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation (AFib). When your heart rate dips during sleep, this sensor alerts your watch that it’s time for you to wake up.

As soon as you wake, your watch will provide you with a detailed morning report summing up last night’s rest, including sleep stages and duration. Furthermore, it offers suggestions to improve your rest by picking up patterns that it recognizes; additionally, training recovery tips may also be included in its recommendations.

Some trackers also incorporate data from other sensors, including ambient light or temperature readings and body movement to help you pinpoint factors affecting your rest. They may even record if you’re getting enough exercise – an essential ingredient to ensuring you enjoy optimal restful slumber.

Heart Rate Monitoring

All fenix watches offer 24/7 health and fitness monitoring capabilities, such as wrist-based Heart Rate (HR), Body Battery energy tracking, jet lag advisory services, sleep tracking capabilities and more. When awakened from restful slumber, the watch will provide a customized report detailing last night’s rest along with training insights and an individual sleep score for you to consider.

Fenix models also feature GPS navigation features that make it easy to track, share, and navigate routes, making these watches ideal for thru-hikers and ultra-endurance runners alike. Furthermore, these watches allow users to save points-of-interest (POIs) that can later be used offline map navigation.

The Fenix series includes special feature sets designed to assist with swimming training, skiing and golfing. They can track distance, stroke count and pace while showing front, back and middle green locations from a course downloaded through Garmin Connect. In addition, these watches provide real-time stamina information which makes it easy to assess how much fuel remains in the tank.

Connected Features

Garmin Fenix series multisport GPS watches represent the pinnacle of Garmin multisport GPS watch technology, designed specifically to meet the needs of outdoor enthusiasts, hikers and athletes seeking additional performance metrics.

All Fenix models feature advanced GPS with both GLONASS satellite reception for increased accuracy and confidence in any situation. Their rugged designs include sapphire-covered screens for superior protection against drops from height, as well as waterproof rating up to 100 meters for prolonged outdoor adventure.

Many features are available to enhance your experience, including Face It app which allows you to personalize your watch with photos from your phone. Furthermore, compatible smartphones can connect their watch directly with Garmin Connect so activity data can be uploaded automatically and shared.

Upgraded training tools like real-time stamina can help you gain more insight into your fitness level, making it easier to balance workouts with rest. Other 24/7 health monitoring features such as wrist-based Pulse Ox5, Body Battery energy monitoring, jet lag advisor and advanced sleep monitoring with nap detection can be found within this series of wearable devices. Furthermore, the ECG app6 from this series allows users to record and monitor heart rhythm on-the-go.

Battery Life

Garmin has significantly extended the battery life of their Fenix series watches compared to prior models, yet even when using just wrist-based heart rate and smartphone notifications to manage battery use, your watch will still drain its charge over time. Furthermore, the backlight can also be an energy drain; to maximize battery usage make sure to set its brightness low or disable it completely for best results.

All Fenix models feature GPS capability with built-in ABC (altimeter, barometer and compass) sensors to enhance outdoor activities like hiking or backpacking. Depending on the size of your watch, up to one week’s use could pass without charging; certain Fenix models even utilize solar or GPS “ring” technology for additional battery optimization.

The Fenix is an invaluable asset to anyone interested in fitness or outdoor activity who wants to keep track of their progress, or training aid those taking on new challenges. It boasts several features to help track current fitness level, set a goal and train to achieve it; additionally both models boast multiple global navigation satellite system (GNSS) capabilities which increase accuracy while permitting longer tracking capabilities.

The G502 HERO wired mouse for FPS gaming is one of the top options on the market, boasting a large design, with features such as a sniper button and L/R tilt buttons on its scroll wheel scroll wheel. Suitable for people of all hand sizes but may prove more challenging for people with smaller hands to access some of its extra buttons.

It has a large design

The G502 HERO gaming mouse offers great comfort and features a vast array of programmable inputs. It boasts a metal scroll wheel for smooth scrolling under your finger, plus a button that lets you toggle between smooth or notched scrolling – handy when browsing long documents or switching weapons during FPS gaming sessions.

The mouse features a steeply sloped arch that works well for palm grips but may be uncomfortable for claw or fingertip grips. Furthermore, its design lacks deeper grooves or softer rubber finishes which could improve claw and fingertip traction and grip strength. In addition, there’s an opening at the bottom that opens to store up to five 3.6g weights for extra heft.

Logitech G502 HERO is an ergonomic gaming mouse featuring a superior sensor and multiple programmable buttons – including one specifically for sniping on its left side – making it more customizable than similar products such as ASUS ROG Chakram Core.

It has a low click latency

The G502 HERO gaming mouse offers outstanding click latency and an adjustable CPI range, along with L/R tilt buttons and free-scrolling mode on its scroll wheel – plus, Windows and macOS companion software are included for use with it. However, its large design may not be comfortable for those with small hands.

The primary difference between the HERO and its predecessor, Proteus Spectrum, lies in its upgraded sensor. The HERO’s has an increased CPI range and lower lift-off distance while experiencing less CPI variation; additionally it boasts lower click latency compared to Proteus Spectrum but this may be undetectable by most gamers.

Opposed to G502 variants that use mechanical Omron D2FC-FK switches, the HERO features optical actuation which reduces double-clicking due to normal wear and tear and makes left and right clickers feel much better.

It has a wide CPI range

The Logitech G502 HERO is an excellent wired gaming mouse for people with larger hands; however, it may not suit those with smaller hands. Although heavier than its Alienware AW610M counterpart, the Logitech’s cable feels superior while boasting more programmable buttons, a precise CPI range, lower click latency and free-scrolling mode scroll wheel with L/R tilt buttons for free-scrolling mode scroll wheel is compatible with both Windows and macOS for added flexibility. Furthermore, its customizable software supports both operating systems for customization!

The Hero sensor performs excellently, though some gamers may find it too sensitive. There are no acceleration issues or other similar concerns even at high DPI settings.

The Hero’s PTFE feet feature limited underside coverage and consist of one small foot on the back, two nearer the front, and one larger foot at either end of their length. This design compromises its glide performance on certain surfaces, and does not work effectively across all environments.

It has a sniper button

The G502 gaming mouse is an exceptionally powerful wired gaming mouse featuring a large button layout and low click latency. It boasts a metallic scroll wheel which feels solid under your finger. Plus, a button below lets you switch between smooth or notched scrolling – great for quickly skimming over long contracts or documents!

This mouse features a “sniper button” on its left side that reduces DPI for FPS games and gives an advantage to you in terms of DPI settings. Though this feature may seem unnecessary, it actually enhances gameplay by providing more options to control and creates an all-inclusive feel when used together with its counterparts.

Logitech’s G502’s intuitive software makes customizing its buttons simple. G Hub provides more aesthetic and lightweight control over its predecessor; yet still offering full flexibility – you can reassign any button, adjust DPI/sensitivity settings and set polling rate – plus it includes five profiles which is an upgrade over previous models.

It has L/R tilt buttons

The G502 HERO mouse is an exceptional option, but may not be best for gamers with smaller hands. Its large design and sniper button may prove uncomfortable; however, there are other features that make up for its lack of portability; for instance its scroll wheel features L/R tilt inputs as well as free-scrolling mode as well as lower click latency rates and broader CPI range.

HERO’s aggressive gamer aesthetic is further enhanced with RGB lighting in both the logo and left side of mouse. These zones can be configured to show different colors or record macros.

Logitech’s next-generation HERO sensor delivers flawless up to 16,000 DPI performance, plus features like programmable buttons and weight system to tailor its performance to suit any style. Furthermore, its excellent mouse feet offer smooth gliding performance on desks or mousepads.

It has a free-scrolling mode

Logitech G502 HERO gaming mouse was specifically designed to meet the demands of FPS gamers, with an ergonomic shape suitable for palm grip and plenty of programmable buttons such as a sniper button. Furthermore, its metal scroll wheel feels smooth under your finger; notched scrolling can be toggled for reading lengthy terms of service documents and free scrolling can be toggled off when switching weapons in-game. Moreover, you can configure it almost any way using its software! Additionally it boasts several buttons below primary click which you can configure almost any way; additionally its software offers plenty of configuration possibilities!

This mouse boasts an improved sensor than the RocCAT Kone AIMO Remastered, offering more precise CPI adjustment and shorter lift-off distance. Furthermore, it comes equipped with more comfortable thumb rests, free-scrolling mode, L/R tilt buttons, lighter weight and lower click latency than most gaming mice.

Razer’s Basilisk V3 Pro 35K gaming mouse offers users who require an ergonomic workhorse mouse an excellent gaming experience. Known as an industry staple for years now, this updated model remains an outstanding choice that excels at high level gaming sessions.

This new version upgrades to 26,000 DPI and includes second-generation Razer Optical switches in both left and right click buttons – while maintaining a comfortable right-handed design.

Chroma RGB

Razer has just unveiled their sixth version of their popular first-person shooter mouse, known as Basilisk V3, since 2017. It adds minor features like an underglow RGB area with underglow scroll wheel functionality for graduated turning or frictionless free spinning, as well as streamlining its design to help reduce its cost without losing any buttons or useful inputs.

Chroma RGB is a color control system designed to let you adjust the brightness and colors on your gaming hardware. You can set different lighting patterns that sync up with games’ audio tracks allowing keyboard and mouse lighting up when certain events happen simultaneously.

With its dual scroll wheel supporting tactile and frictionless free-spinning modes, the Basilisk’s sniper button can automatically detect your scrolling mode and adjust accordingly. You can switch this manually using one of the mouse’s programmable buttons or let its “smart-reel” software feature do it for you by shifting between these modes depending on how often you use the scroll wheel.

The Basilisk mouse is an all-purpose multi-genre mouse designed for FPSs, MMOs, and other games. While heavier than its DeathAdder Elite predecessor, its more comfortable shape and lightweight cable without kinks make for optimal gameplay – not to mention right-handed players can benefit from an ergonomic thumb rest for right-handed users! Click latency is low and all hand sizes will find comfortable use – though small hands may find difficulty reaching its sniper button with claw or fingertip grips.

HyperScroll Tilt Wheel

Unleash your potential with our most advanced gaming mouse. Equipped with an intelligent HyperScroll tilt wheel, Razer Chroma RGB lighting, 10+1 programmable buttons, and True 30,000 DPI Focus Pro optical sensor – our most advanced mouse offers unrivalled performance, customization options, as well as plenty of smart features designed to keep you ahead in any game! It even comes equipped with its own right-handed ergonomic design!

Customize each zone of the scroll wheel to reflect your personal style, then watch as they change dynamically as you play with Razer Synapse.

Fully Customizable Tactility
Boasting Austrian innovation, the HyperScroll Tilt Wheel now allows more customizable haptics for your scroll wheel than ever. Utilizing XeelTech technology, you can now adjust its force, resistance and steps for a tailored scroll experience that’s uniquely your own.

Smart-Reel is enabled through Razer Synapse and automatically switchs from tactile to free-spin scrolling as your speed increases for seamless control, perfect for quickly scanning content or replicating repeated in-game commands. For even greater precision and control, Tactile Scrolling Mode provides distinctive notched scrolling that’s ideal for cycling weapons or skills.

HyperShift

The Basilisk V3 features an upgraded scroll wheel with two modes – tactile for distinct, notched scrolling and frictionless free spin for fast scrolling at high speed. Furthermore, a software option called Smart-Reel automatically toggles between these modes depending on your scroll speed.

Both features are welcome upgrades over the old scroll wheel, which was unreliable and cumbersome. As is typical with Razer products, other upgrades either don’t make much difference or simply are par for the course; Basilisk’s Focus+ optical sensor was upgraded from 22,000 DPI maximum of its predecessor to 35,000 DPI maximum in this upgrade; statistically speaking it represents only a minor boost over its predecessor; additionally the mouse also comes equipped with HyperPolling dongle which increases wireless polling rate up to 8,000Hz; we found responsive click buttons were still quite good even at this frequency; our testing conducted here confirmed these upgrades would deliver as promised!

For those needing greater precision, the Basilisk V3 offers manual surface calibrations to adjust its lift-off distance and other settings to any specific mouse mat or tabletop. In addition, Razer Synapse 3 lets users reprogramm buttons as well as alter CPI, polling rate, lift-off distance, RGB lighting settings as needed. While we encountered no issues while testing this product ourselves, some users have reported experiencing frequent updates required by Synapse as well as system resources being hogged by it and related problems with it requiring frequent updates as well as system resources being consumed by this software causing problems of its own accord.

Smart-Reel

Razer’s Basilisk V3 gaming mouse is an elegant, full-featured gaming mouse designed for comfort that competes well against RPS reader favorites like the Logitech G502. Although heavier (101g versus 92g), its thumb rest is designed for optimal user experience with its ergonomic shape ideal for all grip types.

The Basilisk stands out with its HyperScroll tilt wheel as the star attraction, featuring both free-scrolling and notched movements that support different speed settings to suit various gaming styles. Ideal for tasks like cycling through weapons in shooters or navigating long spreadsheets, we found that it performed just as effectively as more expensive mice with similar functionality.

Reprogrammable 13-button layout. Left and right click buttons, two thumb buttons, the trigger button and DPI switch button can all be customized, as can the DPI switch button and Hypershift’s secondary set of commands for every keystroke that execute different inputs depending on which button was pressed. However, for maximum effect you’ll want to download Synapse in order to set onboard profiles, RGB zones and the Smart Reel feature of Basilisk.

Smartwatches have evolved from high-tech fitness trackers that display notifications such as call and text notifications into full wellness devices capable of 24/7 health monitoring, advanced sleep tracking analysis and women’s features such as ovulation detection. Look for stylish materials and designs that fit comfortably around your wrist for the best experience.

Good Housekeeping Institute testers evaluate how easy it is to set up, navigate and use a smartwatch. We also look at whether or not the watch synchronizes well with mobile phones and media playback.

Tracking your fitness

Fitness watches can help you meet your exercise and physical health goals more easily. They may monitor calorie consumption and sleep quality; others provide insight into workout performance; many models even feature sensors to track heart rate, oxygen levels and GPS location tracking capabilities.

One of our top picks for fitness-minded smartwatches for women features built-in GPS functionality, enabling you to follow your route while on an outdoor adventure. For instance, Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 7 stands out with sleek styling and an array of interchangeable bands and watch faces – not to mention being packed with AI wellness and sleep insight features!

If you’re an active runner or cyclist, look for a watch with an optical heart rate sensor and pulse oximeter – these features use green light reflected off blood to measure heart rate and circulation – these features should come standard on most fitness watches; one such watch that includes these advanced fitness insights for $300 or less is the Garmin vivoactive 5.

High-end fitness watches typically cost $400 or more and provide sports-specific fitness insights, including your training zones for running, cycling and strength training. Some include built-in heart rate monitors with pulse oximeters to track blood oxygen levels; other metrics may include your VO2 max or activity intensity level; while mid-tier and premium models even provide coaching prompts to meet specific fitness goals.

Tracking your sleep

Sleep is essential to overall wellness. A full night of restful rest can enhance both emotional wellbeing and physical wellbeing while helping stave off serious illnesses like cancer or cardiovascular disease. Quality rest can also boost energy levels and make for more productivity during the day; using a smart watch with sleep tracking features could help pinpoint why.

Sleep trackers come in various forms, from smart watches and headbands providing biofeedback, to rings you slip onto your fingers that monitor heart rate and movement tracking. While not as precise as polysomnography (the gold standard of sleep research), these trackers can help assess whether you’re getting enough rest.

Some smartwatches come equipped with built-in sleep trackers that automatically record your slumber, while others require manual recording of it. A smartwatch’s sensors can pick up signs that your heart rate has dropped, signaling deeper stages of sleep or detect how often you wake during the night. Some users may worry about radiation emissions while recording; however, these typically low frequency non ionizing radiation emissions don’t present any health risk as smartwatches transmit signals in short bursts and don’t persist all night.

Staying connected

Imagine going for a run without having to carry your phone, which may become lost or damaged, with you. A smartwatch allows you to track your route and progress while streaming music from apps you love as well as receiving calls and texts without taking it out of your pocket or placing it in an armband.

Smartwatches with cellular connectivity allow you to use them as second phones. They connect directly to the wireless network on your smartphone while still functioning independently, giving you access to calling, texting, checking weather forecasts and sending reminders from them – giving you all of the functionality of a full phone without the hassle of carrying two.

If you want the most from your smartwatch, opt for one with built-in GPS that allows you to map and record routes for running. Smartwatches with accurate heart rate measurement as well as monitoring sleep can also come in handy – depending on your lifestyle needs or desires you can find smartwatches with extra features such as hands-free mic or payment apps that enable payments.

No matter if you use an iPhone or prefer Samsung smartphones, there’s a smartwatch designed for every style and budget. For active runners who wish to stay connected on the go while staying fit while running, consider trying one of Garmin fitness watches that provide advanced health and wellness features.

Finding your phone

Smartwatches make for the perfect phone companion, enabling users to easily take phone calls and respond to text messages without fumbling for their smartphone from pockets or bags. Certain models such as TOZO with Alexa built-in offer additional functions such as searching the web and controlling music playback without using your hands – perfect for busy professionals, athletes, or anyone who needs to stay connected on-the-go!

Many smartwatches also come equipped with a ‘Find Phone’ feature to assist in finding your smartphone if you lose it. Simply tap the button on your watch, and it will ring your device (in Vibration or Silent mode, even if locked), so you can hear where it is located.

Although some smartwatches can look bulky and ugly, manufacturers have worked tirelessly to balance functionality with fashion in ways that don’t scream “geek.” Women looking for stylish trackers that don’t look like toys have plenty of choices available from slim metal bands to leather straps that won’t shriek “geek.” Our experts evaluate smartwatches on ease of use as well as key functions like answering calls, tracking fitness/sleep data and connecting via Bluetooth; battery life as well as comfort/aesthetics when rating.
