1. Do smartwatches have GPS?

Yes, most smartwatches are equipped with GPS for outdoor activities and navigation, often paired with features like a compass and altimeter.

2. How do smartwatches track sleep?

Smartwatches use heart rate variability and motion sensors to estimate how long and how well you sleep, breaking it down into different stages.

3. Can you listen to music on a smartwatch?

Yes, many smartwatches support music playback, either from files stored on the watch or streamed from your phone.

4. Can a smartwatch work without a smartphone?

Yes, most smartwatches function independently for basics like checking time, counting steps, and tracking calories. Models with cellular connectivity can even make calls and access data without a phone, though battery life may be shorter.

5. Can you make calls on a smartwatch?

Yes, you can make calls via Bluetooth if your phone is nearby, or directly from the watch on cellular-enabled models with a SIM card.

6. Are smartwatch blood pressure monitors accurate?

Many smartwatches offer estimated blood pressure readings using PPG technology, but they're generally less accurate than dedicated devices like the FDA-approved Omron.

7. Can you change a smartwatch strap easily?

Yes, most smartwatch bands are designed to be interchangeable, so you can switch them out to match your style or comfort needs.

8. Are smartwatches safe to use?

Yes, smartwatches are typically made from safe, skin-friendly materials and provide health monitoring features that are especially helpful for kids and seniors.

9. Are smartwatches waterproof?

Most smartwatches have an IP67 rating, making them resistant to dust and brief water exposure. Some models rated IP68 are suitable for swimming and showering.

10. How is heart rate tracked on a smartwatch?

Smartwatches track heart rate using PPG sensors, which project green light onto the skin and measure reflected light changes to gauge pulse.

11. How long does a smartwatch battery last?

Battery life depends on usage, typically lasting 2 to 21 days. Intensive features like GPS and calls drain the battery faster, while efficient CPUs help extend it.

12. Can you take photos with a smartwatch?

Yes, many smartwatches can act as a remote control for your phone’s camera, while some, especially kids’ models, have built-in cameras for direct photo capture.

13. Can smartwatches measure stress?

Yes, smartwatches can gauge stress by analyzing heart rate variability, helping to track both physical and mental strain.

14. How are steps and activity tracked?

Smartwatches use a 3-axis accelerometer, sometimes with a gyroscope and altimeter, to accurately track steps and activity levels.
