Smart Watches have revolutionised how we work out. From tracking your stats such as heart rate and distance to letting you control music from your wrist without pulling out your phone, smartwatches offer many advantages. While most smartwatches are geared towards productivity use, some of them also focus on fitness tracking. Here are some great options optimised for fitness available on Amazon, selected based on their specifications and features.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 is the South Korean tech giant’s latest smartwatch offering. It has an attractive aluminium dial that measures a mere 10.9mm in thickness. The dial has a thin bezel which helps keep the focus on the gorgeous Super AMOLED screen. The Galaxy Watch Active 2 is powered by the Exynos 9110 dual-core chipset and runs on the Tizen-based Wearable OS 4.0. It has onboard GPS and features automatic workout-tracking even for specialised cases like swimming. Apart from tracking workouts, the watch also lets you track your sleep and offers guided breathing exercises to help with mental health. If you dislike chunky watches on your wrist, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 is a great pickup.
Garmin Instinct Solar
With the Garmin Instinct Solar, you no longer have to worry about your smartwatch running out of charge in the middle of a long trek as it recharges itself via solar energy, making it a great companion for adventure activities like extended hikes and camping trips. It is a robust, chunky watch measuring 45 x 45 x 15.3 mm and is composed of high-quality fibre reinforced polymer for durability. It has great battery life to boot. Promising up to 24 days of usage and 30 days of standby time, the battery speaks for itself. The two window screens, with negative display, further optimise battery life. If you are an outdoorsy person looking for a smartwatch for your next trip in the wilderness, the Garmin Instinct Solar could be the one for you.
Fitbit Versa 2
If you plan on wearing a smartwatch everywhere and track your stats all the time, it makes sense to get one that looks stylish enough for every occasion. The Fitbit Versa 2 is one such smartwatch with an understated design that goes well with all kinds of outfits. It features 24/7 heart rate tracking to let you better understand your calorie burn and diet effectiveness. The Versa 2 also has Amazon Alexa integration so that you can use your voice to interact with the digital assistant to accomplish a wide variety of tasks such as pulling up workout videos on YouTube and setting up timers. The brushed anodised aluminium dial paired with the woven jacquard band lets the Versa 2 look more like a regular smartwatch, even while Fitbit’s long expertise with fitness tracking helps you stay on top of your game. If you are looking for an everyday fitness smartwatch, the Fitbit Versa 2 is a great option.
Apple Watch Series 6
If you are an iPhone user and enjoy Apple’s ecosystem, it makes sense to consider the Apple Watch Series 6. It is the most powerful smartwatch available in the market right now, and it leverages all of that processing power to offer a wagon load of features. The standout marquee feature on it is its ability to take an Electrocardiogram or ECG at any time. It also features blood oxygen level monitoring, 24/7 heart rate tracking, built-in Siri and an LTE antenna so that you can leave your phone at home while working out and still make calls and stream music wirelessly. If you are in the market for a premium smartwatch and use an iPhone, the Apple Watch Series 6 should be high up on your list.
Noise ColorFit Pro 3
The Noise ColorFit Pro 3 is a lot of smartwatch for not a whole lot of money. Featuring a 1.55-inch TruView display, the ColorFit Pro 3 is pleasing to look at and offers a lot of customizability with several watch faces and bands to choose from. A unique feature that this smartwatch offers is stress level tracking – it measures your heart rate 24/7 and suggests breathing exercises to help calm you down if it senses your stress levels are high. There is also an inbuilt SpO2 monitor that lets you keep track of your blood oxygen levels, while the 10-day battery life ensures you don’t have to charge it frequently. The companion app makes tracking and changing the settings on your watch easy. If you are looking for a smartwatch to track your fitness without breaking the bank, the Noise ColorFit Pro 3 should be on your radar.
Amazfit T-Rex Pro
The T-Rex Pro is Amazfit’s most rugged watch yet, offering military-grade toughness so that the watch can take a beating and keep on ticking. It can handle temperatures between -40°C to 70°C, water pressure up to 10 ATM and high levels of humidity. It’s meant to be your adventure partner and comes fully equipped with a barometer, compass, altimeter, weather and moon phase tracker, and so much more. GPS support means that you’ll never get lost even when you’re out in the wilderness, and the 18-day battery life ensures you don’t have to worry about charging the smartwatch often. It also features blood oxygen saturation tracking, which is vital if you plan to reach higher altitudes.
