Wearable Technology

Whether you're looking to upgrade your smart watch or buy your very first one, you'll find the latest devices at the best prices on this page. From smart watches to activity trackers and clip-on pulse monitors, wearable technology is the next big thing in health and fitness. And no matter if you're a walker or runner, cyclist or swimmer, these wearable devices will help you get more out of your workout.

Smart Watches

Simply put, you can think of a smart watch as an extension of your smartphone. A smart watch pulls all your alerts and notifications from your smartphone and displays them on a little screen strapped to your wrist, saving you from having to whip your phone out every time you feel it buzz. Instead, you'll be able to just glance down at your wrist to see if a notification is worth responding to, or if it's just another spam caller.

Many models on the market also feature extensive health and fitness tracking capabilities: miles walked, estimated calories burned, and peak heat rate, just to name a few. Impressively, today's smart watches aren't that bulky compared to your average wrist watch, despite being kitted out with batteries, sensors, accelerometers, and GPSs.

Wi-Fi Smart Watches vs WiFi + LTE Smart Watches

While browsing our range, you'll come across 'Wi-Fi' and 'Wi-Fi + LTE' smart watches. Wi-Fi-only smart watches can't connect to cellular networks, like a smartphone without a SIM card. Rather, they rely on your smartphone's data to access the internet when there's no Wi-Fi available.

As a result, you'll have to carry a smartphone to get the best functionality out of a Wi-Fi smart watch. Most people already bring their smartphone with them wherever they go, so this shouldn't be too much of an issue. But as you can probably imagine, this can be quite cumbersome for some activities and sports.

If you'd rather your smart watch not effectively be tethered to your smartphone, consider LTE smart watches, which do feature the necessary antennas to connect to cellular networks directly. Given their already crammed chassis, modern LTIE smart watch utilise eSIMs (sold separately), as opposed to physical, slot-in SIM cards.

Activity Trackers

If all you're looking for in a smart watch is health and fitness tracking, you may be better off with a dedicated activity tracker, like a Fitbit. Compared to a smart watch (effectively a mini-smartphone on your wrist), an activity tracker pairs things back to the essentials.

You won't be able to answer calls or catch up on emails on an activity tracker, but it'll have everything you need monitor your health and fitness. And as it's not trying to be so many things at once, the precision and granularity of an activity tracker's sensors is often higher than that of a multi-purpose smart watch. What's more, without the added functionality of a smart watch, the batteries of activity trackers can last for days, or even weeks, at a time, so you can be out getting fitter for longer.

All in all, despite the ever-growing popularity of smart watches, activity trackers still remain a popular choice among those passionate about monitoring their health and fitness with the highest accuracy possible.

Wearable Technology and Your Exercise Regime

Seeing all your health and fitness data laid out in front of you on a smart watch or activity tracker can be a real motivator. You'll feel compelled every time you go for a walk to push your step count that little bit higher, or your miles travelled further when cycling, for example.

Not to mention that this advanced data will help you plan a better exercise routine around your current exercise level. Walking, running, cycling - whatever your exercise of choice, the advanced data provided by smart watches and activity trackers will help you improve your performance and take your training up a level.
