The latest smartwatches

Smartwatches 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 smartwatches include:

• Receive notifications. Your smartwatch 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 smartwatches 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. Smartwatches show you your location, and let you receive locations from family and friends

Yes - all smartwatches connected to a network will let you send and receive text messages.

You just need to make sure your smartwatch and phone are using the same operating system, otherwise the two devices won't support each other.

For example, if you have an Apple iPhone and a Samsung smartwatch (which uses the Android operating system), many features including text messages won't work.

All smartwatches are designed to make and receive calls, providing your watch is connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth.

If your smartwatch has its own SIM card, you will also be able to make and receive calls without connecting to your smartphone.

iPhone is only compatible with Apple Watch - this is because they share the same iOS operating system.

Any smartwatch using the Android operating system will not be compatible with iPhone.

Smartwatches are designed to be water resistant - not waterproof.

You may be okay taking your smartwatch in the shower and wearing it during shallow water swimming, but it's always best to check the IP water resistance rating and the manufacturer ratings of your particular smartwatch before you get it wet.

There are a handful of smartwatches on the market that come with cameras.

However, these are usually very low quality compared to smartphone cameras, and so most of the leading brands that we sell do not include them.

None of the smartwatches that we sell come with cameras.

If you've bought a smartwatch on one of our Vodafone EVO plans, your monthly payment will be split into two parts. You'll have one Direct Debit for your Watch Plan and one for your Connectivity Plan. Add these together and you'll get the total cost of your monthly payment.

Watch Plan covers the cost of your smartwatch as per your Consumer Credit Agreement

Connectivity Plan covers the cost of your smartwatch connectivity (also known as OneNumber)

Find out more information on Watch Plans and credit agreements

In most cases, the Direct Debit payments for your plans will come out on the same date, but you may see one of the payments coming out a few days earlier or later. Please make sure you don't cancel either of these Direct Debit payments, as we'll be unable to collect the payment for either your airtime or your device.

You'll see two references on your bank statement. It will show the following:

Airtime: VODAFONE LTD
Device: VODAFONE LTD DEVICE

If you want to change your Direct Debits so both payments come out on the same date, you can do so by calling 191

How to view both parts of my monthly payment

Download the My Vodafone app and go to the Dashboard.

Choose Your Plans and you'll see a tab for Airtime Plan and a tab for Device Plan.

Choose Airtime Plan to confirm your smartwatch connection to our network. Or find out more about your Connectivity Plan (also known as OneNumber) by visiting the OneNumber portal

Choose Device Plan to view and manage your Watch Plan - you can make additional payments to your Watch Plan at any time.

You can also view your monthly payment online in your My Vodafone account

You can choose to upgrade your smartwatch as soon as 3 months into your Watch Plan.

Simply visit the My Vodafone app and go to your Device Plan to upgrade.

If you don't want to upgrade, you can choose to continue with your current plan.

How do I pay off my smartwatch early?
You can make additional payments to your Watch Plan at any time, by logging into your My Vodafone account online, or by visiting the My Vodafone app and choosing Your Plans > Device Plan.

Choose to pay off some, or all of, your Watch Plan early. Once it's paid off, your monthly payment will be lower, as you'll only need to pay for your Connectivity Plan to keep connected. Or you can choose to leave.

Can I make a one-off payment for my Watch Plan?
You can make a one-off payment for your Watch Plan at any point. This reduces the amount you pay monthly for all following payments - but it won't change the length of the Watch Plan agreement.

What happens once my smartwatch has been paid off?
Once you've paid off your Watch Plan, your monthly payment will be lower, as you'll only need to pay for your Connectivity Plan to keep connected. Or you can choose to leave.

Your Connectivity Plan (also known as OneNumber) connects your smartwatch to our network.

It also lets you share your phone's allowances, number and contacts with your smartwatch.

So you can use data, minutes and texts, even when you're away from your phone or WiFi.

To connect your smartwatch to our network or pair it with your phone, read our step-by-step guide on how to set up your smartwatch
