Smartwatches - what to look for when choosing one?
Smartwatch - a watch that is a combination of a smartphone and a James Bond-esque device for special tasks. It is a sign of our times, a miniaturised version of a personal trainer, coach, accountant, parent, diary and more. What to look for when choosing one to live happily ever after with the watch of your dreams?
Smartwatch - what features are most important?
When choosing a smartwatch, first and foremost we need to be guided by specific guidelines and needs. We will need different features when selecting a smartwatch for a child, something different for a man, a woman, an athlete or an elderly person. The questions always remain in the spirit of: "what do I do for a living", "what do I require from a smartwatch", "what functions are essential for me". - questions can be quietly reworked to suit the needs of the people we intend to bestow such a watch on. One thing is certain, the first and most important feature of a smartwatch is its durability and reliability, the rest we will adjust in the process.
Garmin Forerunner 735XT 010-01614-10 - for the athlete
Are you an athlete, an avid runner and looking for a smartwatch for you? The Garmin Forerunner 735XT 010-01614-10 is one of the best items on the market. What makes this model stand out? First and foremost, strong workmanship. The case and strap are made of lightweight and highly durable plastic, while the electronic displayis protected by a flexible mineral glass that can be polished. Every athlete will appreciate the comfort of such a watch, and the numerous functions will satisfy the highest needs of the runner. It is worth noting options such as wrist heart rate measurement, race simulator, rest assistant, advanced cycling and running dynamics. If that's not enough - the watch has a function for determining your lactate threshold, i.e. it will determine the intensity of your workout, after which you may have so-called 'soreness'. This is ideal for people who are preparing for marathons and half marathons.
What else does this watch have? It receives notifications from your smartphone about calls and text messages, and in the other direction, it will send information regarding your activity to the Garmin Connect app. With a pedometer and calorie counter, you'll accurately monitor your activity throughout the day and adjust your diet to suit your needs. Also useful is the sleep monitor, which (as soon as you fall asleep) will automatically check your sleep activity and create relevant statistics, so important for nightly rest and recovery. Other useful options include creating your own training plans, connectivity with the Strava Premium app, sharing your achievements in real time, as well as dozens of other interesting features.
All in all - a watch ideal for active people, while being a very affordable model in the sports smartwatch market.
Emporio Armani ART5023 - for the modern man
The well-known fashion brand Emporio Armani is no longer just about fashionable outfits, accessories such as eyewear or high-end perfume fragrances. The fashion house decided to get into the watch business as well, and over time it has aligned itself with the latest technological trends and created its smartwatch series. What makes the Emporio Armani ART5023 smartwatch model so eye-catching?
It is, above all, a smartwatch that combines sporty and elegant styles. The aluminium envelope in black and turquoise is suspended from a rubber black strap with predatory notches. The watch looks very masculine, matching casual and elegant styles with a sporty twist - so wear it with a sports tracksuit, with jeans and with a less businesslike shirt. Armani has also ensured that the watch is highly functional, equipping it with the Wear OS by Google, Bluetooth connectivity, a touchscreen, as well as the Google Fit app and dozens of training functions. And that's not all, after a workout outdoors or at the gym, we can use the watch to pay in shop (oh, that useful NFC!), make use of Google 's practical assistant, play music and check the weather forecast for the coming days. The device still has a heart rate monitor, pedometer, calorie counter and thermometer.
The smartwatch from Emporio Armani will be perfect for the active businessman.

Diesel On Fadelite Smartwatch DZT2019 - streetwear bullwatch
The Diesel On FadeliteSmartwatch DZ T2019 is a less standard proposition, geared towards everyday style, so-called streetwear. If we are looking for a watch without a huge amount of sporty options, but still fitting in with new technologies, the Diesel On comes to the rescue. What sets it apart? The layout alone speaks volumes about its character -the red plastic envelope and red silicon strap branded with the brand's name show that this is not a business style and is unlikely to be suitable for a job interview or a business meeting. Instead, it is ideal for a day out on the town, a meeting with friends or just to feel cool, trendy and casual. The polyamide display is not very large, but it shows everything.
What options does this watch have? First of all, the Wear by Google software allows you to seamlessly use features such as Google Pay (i.e. contactless payments), Google Assistant, apps downloaded directly from Google Play, as well as bluetooth, music control, access to a pedometer and calorie counter and checking the weather forecast. In addition to this, the watch has several sports functions, so it will work well for a workout at the gym, but this is not its 'domain'. This Diesel watch will be a great choice for people who prioritise an active me that is geared towards sport, but doesn't give up on it.
Smartwatch - which one to choose?
When choosing the right smartwatch or sports band, let's pay attention not only to its functions "inside". We should bear in mind what the smartwatch is made of, the durability of the materials, and it is also worth checking user reviews on the web. If we already know what we need, the watch will be found in a trifle. All that remains is to buy it and wear it with pleasure (taking care every day) or give it to a loved one.
