Applications are the best way to get the most out of your smart devices. In fact, a smartphone is only made smart because you can install a range of applications for different purposes. So, it is only logical that a smartwatch that allows you to install new applications will give you a better feature set compared to one that doesn’t. Applications on smartwatches can range from simple alarms to something like a full music player. The number of applications for smartwatches is aplenty, and you should pick up a watch that allows you to install new applications. So, here are 6 wearables available on Amazon which let you install applications.
The Apple Watch is one of the most popular wearables in the world and for good reason. The device offers a very good combination of style and functionality. This mantra is continued with the Apple Watch Series 5, which is the newest wearable from the company. The device gives users access to an app store with loads of apps to choose from and install. The device itself is already pretty feature-rich, thanks to abilities such as always-on OLED display, ECG tracking, fall detection and more.
Samsung has been manufacturing wearables for quite a while now and as such, the company has amassed a pretty sizable app store. Samsung’s wearables tend to come with the company’s own TizenOS, which works with Android and iOS. The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 comes with a pretty sleek design and features a digital bezel that lets you navigate through the menu by moving your finger around the bezel. The Watch Active 2 also comes with a bunch of other features such as an AMOLED display as well as IP68 certification.
This smartwatch doesn’t stray much from the path of a traditional watch. It keeps a traditional circular bezel with a stainless steel strap, making it look like a conventional watch. However, it runs on Google’s Wear OS platform, for which there is a dedicated app store that users can access via their phones and download applications to take the functionality of their smartwatches to the next level. Using the app store, you can install Google Maps, Spotify, Google Keep, Uber, an audio recorder and more. Since the smartwatch has a screen with a size of 1.28-inches, you can get relevant information from these apps on to your wrist.
Fitbit has been making wearables for quite a while now. It’s newest wearable is the Versa 2 and it too comes with the option to install a bunch of applications. However, that isn't all that Versa 2 has to offer. The new device comes with an always-on display and comes with Alexa built-in. Other features include a range of activities to track as well as IP68 certification. Fitbit also claims that the Versa 2 can last for five days between charges.
The Apple Watch SE is currently the most affordable smartwatch from the company. It is a budget-friendly alternative to the latest Apple Watch and gives you more or less the same functionality as the high-end smartwatch. The Apple Watch SE can be upgraded to meet your requirements using applications from the Apple Watch Store, which opens up pandora’s box of new applications and features that you can install on your Apple Watch. Using the physical crown, you can switch between the watch menu and applications. The smartwatch is also your ultimate health monitor and fitness tracker, which keeps a check on a range of activities from the office to the gym.
For those who want superior performance and functionality out of their smartwatch for the price, the Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 is a good option. It comes with Android Wear OS, which allows you to access the smartwatch store, which has many applications to enhance usability. It comes in with a big display and a chunky build, ensuring that you don't have to worry about flimsy materials or the likes. The display on this smartwatch is a reasonably sized 1.4-inch screen, which makes the most out of smartwatch applications such as Google Maps, Android Auto and more. It also has NFC, meaning you can make payments via the Google Pay app on the smartwatch.
