Is a Smartwatch the Same as a Fitness Tracker?
Smartwatches and fitness trackers are from the same tech family, but they have their own quirks. They can both be used to log and analyse a range of workouts to help you smash your fitness goals, but fitness trackers have long been superior at this, as that’s all they do.
Smartwatches, meanwhile, also act like mini extensions of your smartphone, often letting you make and take calls, read and reply to WhatsApp messages and emails, stream music and much more besides. The best smartwatches now rival the best fitness trackers, so if you’ve got the cash, you know what to do.
