These Are The Five Watches To Help You Get Fit, Smarter
Posted on 26 May, 2022
It can be so hard to know if exercise is actually working – are you really getting fitter, or huffing and puffing for no particular reason (and certainly not for fun, wow)?
Well, the proliferation of smart watches have given us new ways to measure the effects of our exercising with unprecedented precision.
You’ll soon know what’s working for you, and what’s not. Given the amount of time it’s possible to spend worrying about fitness, that surely makes them worth the money.
Here the best picks on the market.
Polar Unite
Whether you’re taking the stairs, doing the chores or dancing, the Polar Unite will give you personalised daily workout guidance to inspire you and weekly training stats to track your progress.
It also boasts a 24/7 heart rate tracker and sleep assistance and updates you on how your energy sources were used during the day to help you understand your body better.
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch4
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch4 not only tracks your steps and calories but it allows you to compete with friends. It also measures body composition, heart rate, ECG and blood pressure, oxygen levels and sleep.
FitPolo Fitness Tracker
The FitPolo Fitness Tracker has nine sport modes to track heart rate, distance, speed, GPS and calories burned. It’s also compatible with most phone devices via Bluetooth and there’s a music control function, heart rate and sleep monitors.
OnWalk One
The incredibly simple OnWalk One device measures your steps and distance when walking on flat ground – it’s not suitable for running or hillwalking. It will record your activity whether it’s in your pocket, your bag, or on your belt.
Fitbit Charge 5
According to Fitbit, people who use fitness trackers average 43 per cent more steps each day but its Charge 5 is more than just a pedometer.
It automatically recognises and records workouts for over 20 different exercises and uses your heart rate to guide you toward your desired level of intensity. It also has a built in GPS and water resistance.
