These smartwatches are doing more than just tracking your steps.
When it comes to smartwatches, we’ve come to a point where it feels like the question is no longer, ‘Should I get a smartwatch?’ but rather, ‘Which one should I get?”
There are so many different smartwatches available on the market today, and generally, they all offer the same thing: a way to track your health and fitness. Most smartwatches do this in similar ways — tracking steps, heart rate, breathing, and sleep — so when you’re looking for the right one for you, it will likely come down to which one has the specific features you need to help you monitor your health or reach your fitness goals.
Here are three smartwatches that include more advanced features to help you on your health and wellness journey!
Track your blood pressure with the HUAWEI WATCH D2
Of all the new smartwatches that have been released recently, the HUAWEI WATCH D2 may be one of the most unique ones, as this is HUAWEI Philippines’ first-ever smartwatch that includes Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM).
HUAWEI has taken a big step forward in the technology of health tracking with their ABPM feature. This device was designed to help its users track their blood pressure throughout the day, which provides them a more accessible and round-the-clock insight to their cardiovascular health. To measure your BP using the device, all you need to do is raise your wrist. The D2 also allows users to set scheduled alerts to remind you when to check your blood pressure throughout the day.
On top of the unique ABPM this smartwatch has, the HUAWEI WATCH D2 also includes a feature that allows users to measure nine vital health indicators — heart rate, BP, blood oxygen, stress, skin temperature, ECG, vascular elasticity, pulse wave arrhythmia, and sleep apnea detection — with just one click, and will generate a quick ‘Health Glance’ report.
Although health data on any smartwatch are mere references, having this accessible monitor at all times can help Filipinos who might benefit from tracking blood pressure levels, assess patterns, and note fluctuations.
Get personal coaching with Garmin Venu 2S
If you’re looking for a smartwatch that isn’t just there to track your workouts but is there to guide you through them, then you should check out the Garmin Venu 2S.
Garmin is one of the most well-known smartwatch brands in the market because of the vast amount of features they offer all in one device — sleep, steps, heart rate, breathing, hydration, respiration, and many more — but what makes the Venu 2S special is the workout features they offer.
The Venu 2S has a screen that’s advanced and big enough to include animated, on-screen workouts, which include easy-to-follow cardio, strength, yoga, HIIT, and pilates workouts that come preloaded onto the watch. In addition, this watch is also very special for runners who are trying to achieve their goals as this smartwatch includes the Garmin Coach, a personal running coach that sets weekly programs and benchmarks that will help you train for a 5K, 10K, or half-marathon.
The Venu 2S is your personal trainer that you can have on your wrist at all times.
Track your recovery with WHOOP
WHOOP has recently become one of the most popular smartwatches on the market — but it definitely isn’t your typical smartwatch. For starters, this device does away with a screen to eliminate distractions and makes it even more wearable for 24/7 use.
But among the most unique features that WHOOP does to help you monitor your health and fitness are its strain and recovery trackers. The strain tracker helps you understand how much of an impact your workouts are having on your body, and a ‘Strain Score’ helps you see your total daily exertion. From there, it also helps you understand just how much recovery time you need to bounce back. Using a ‘Recovery Score,’ the device measures how your body adapts to lack of sleep, illnesses, or the impact of your physical training.
The WHOOP is great if you’re looking for a smartwatch that does more than track — this device helps you understand your body better and provides guidance on how to best take care of it.
