Buying a smartwatch will make your life much easier. This is a universal device that will not only show the time, but also remind you of upcoming meetings, wake you up in the morning and notify you of incoming calls. Read about these and other features, as well as how to choose a smartwatch, in our article.
h2. *What is a smartwatch and what are they like?*

After the advent of smartphones, it became clear that other gadgets could also be made smarter. First of all, this affected the watch. So how are smartwatches different from ordinary watches and what can they do? It's simple: they inherited many functions from modern phones and can enter into symbiosis with them, simplifying work and eliminating the need to go into your pocket for a smartphone every time. Learn more about development details at [https://diceus.com/expertise/wearable-app-development-services-and-solutions/].

Instead of a dial, smartwatches have a modern electronic display, often in color. In most devices, the screen is touch sensitive. Such devices allow you to answer calls, send messages, surf the Internet, store information on them like on a USB flash drive, and even take pictures, as well as scan the owner's physical activity with them.

The number of functions and capabilities of smartwatches directly depends on their price. Sometimes the exception is gadgets, which can be expensive simply because of the brand.

There is no official classification of smartwatches, so it is rather arbitrary. Smart watches can be divided into:
 #  Watch-phone is an interesting variant of devices that does not require connection to a smartphone, but at the same time you can make calls with their help. They have a built-in micro or nano size SIM card slot. On such a watch, you can install various applications, view documents and even photos with their help.
 #  Companion watch - this watch will already ask for connection to your smartphone and without such symbiosis will not be able to function at its full potential. But due to this connection, the watch-companion is much more functional than its other brothers, since many operations are processed by the processor of a smartphone, which is by far more powerful than the one that can be put into a watch.

Fitness bracelets and watches - this category includes universal devices that not only perform some of the functions of a smartwatch, but are also designed to collect various information about the owner's physical activity and the state of his health. These gadgets are designed for sports and are not intended to emphasize the status of the owner; therefore, they are lightweight and can be of different colors and shapes.

Fitness watches, as a rule, can count the owner's heart rate and the number of steps taken, switch to workout mode in the gym, read GPS routes, and much more. All received information is sent either to a smartphone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, or to cloud services via the Internet, where it is stored for later analysis.

As for fitness bracelets, their functionality is slightly more modest than that of watches, they are smaller in size and often do not have a display. All control is carried out using a smartphone. However, in more modern models, manufacturers still add convenient touchscreens, thanks to which it is not at all necessary to carry a smartphone with you for jogging.
h2. *Software platform or watch OS*

Like any electronic device, smart watches work using the program installed in them, so you can distinguish:
 *          A watch without an operating system, in which the functionality is limited to those options that were originally built into them by the developer. There are no prerequisites for customization in them, so be content with what you have. As a rule, this applies to watches from the cheap segment and to fitness bracelets. You will not be able to install the applications you like on them, only in some models you can slightly modify the interface for a more convenient one. Sometimes manufacturers release new firmware for their devices, adding new features and changing the interface.
 *          A clock running an operating system is a full-fledged minicomputer with a processor, RAM, internal storage, etc. Customization of such a clock is limited only by the power of the device itself, the developer's idea and the owner's imagination. They can download a variety of applications that will allow you to take your smartphone out of your pocket less often.
