Smart watches FAQs
Thinking about getting your first smart watch? Here’s how they work, the benefits, and anything else you might need to know before you get fully connected.
Internet of Things (IoT) is a widely-used term used to define connected objects that ‘talk’ to each other and share information – such as your smartphone and smart watch.
Smart watches are portable devices which link to your phone, and are worn on your wrist. Like your smartphone, they use touchscreens, allow you to make payments and respond to alerts, and they support apps like your phone does
Some common features of smart watches include:
- Receive notifications. Your smart watch will alert you when you receive calls, texts, app messages and emails.
- Use voice commands to respond to messages.
- Track your health and exercise. Many smart watches allow you to monitor your heart rate and how many steps you’ve done.
- Manage media playback. For example, if you’re using AirPods, you can control the volume and music using your Apple Watch.
- Track your location using GPS. Smart watches show you your location, and let you receive locations from family and friends.
- Stay updated even when you’re out and about, without looking at your phone.
- Easily reply to messages and calls on the go.
- Track your fitness and your workouts, so you can work towards health goals.
- See your social media notifications without having to open the apps on your phone.
- See your location and send your location to others.
You should still be able to use your phone to tell the time and to track exercise, but any functionality that needs Wi-Fi or a data connection from your phone will stop tracking or providing updates. For example, you may not be able to make or receive calls, see the latest social media posts, or reply to emails.
We offer guides on how to get started for all of the smart watches on our website.
You may need to check that your phone can pair with a smart watch, and that they can be connected via Bluetooth or WiFi. You may also need to download an app for your phone that links to your smart watch.
Smart watches are designed to be water resistant – not waterproof. You may be OK taking your smart watch in the shower and wearing it during shallow water swimming, but it’s always best to check the IP water resistance rating of your particular smart watch before you get it wet.
Apple Watch is designed to work with iPhone, whereas the Samsung Galaxy Watch is compatible with iPhone and Android phones.
