technology · wearable · gadgets · connected

Worn on wrist. A smartwatch looks like a regular watch but packs a computer inside. You wear it on your wrist just like a traditional watch, and it stays with you all day.

Talks to your phone. Smartwatches connect to your smartphone and work together as a team. Your phone sends information to the watch so you can see messages, calls, and notifications right on your wrist.

Touch to control. Most smartwatches have a touchscreen display just like a smartphone. You tap and swipe on the watch face to open apps and make things happen.

Tracks your health. Smartwatches can count your steps, measure your heart rate, and monitor how much exercise you're getting. They help you stay active and healthy by keeping score throughout your day.

Powered by battery. Because a smartwatch is so small, it needs recharging regularly, usually every day or two. Despite being tiny, they pack amazing computing power into that little screen on your wrist.
