What kind of smartwatches do you have? Smart wearables are already a big business for tech companies and wearers like the convenience of having notifications or a payment system on their wrists. But we&#8217;re curious how popular they actually are. <\/p>\n<p> There are many smartwatches with Apple watchOS and HarmonyOS. Some older models have Tizen. Those have access to a rich selection of apps from their respective app stores and tend to have more fully-featured communication options (including walkie-talkie functionality and even calls over the carrier network). <\/p>\n<p> They have a poor battery life but can last for a couple of days or less. You can get smartwatches with a longer battery life, which may last up to a week. You may not need all the apps that some smartwatches have, however. This is part of our second question, and we will get to it. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"822\" height=\"313\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/05\/weekly-poll-smartwatches\/inline\/gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"Weekly poll: how many of you have a smartwatch and what kind?\"\/><\/p>\n<p> If you only need basic health monitoring (e.g. heart rate, sleep and exercise tracking), then a smart band can do the trick. A smart band is also a good option if you only need basic health tracking (e.g. heart rate, sleep, exercise, and at-a glance notifications). These smart bands are less expensive, which means you won&#8217;t have to feel the band as soon as you touch it. <\/p>\n<p>So, who has a smart wearable and what kind? <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"620\" height=\"644\" src=\"https:\/\/strawpoll.com\/embed\/polls\/NoZrLXj8an3\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 644px;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i>If this poll widget isn&#8217;t working for you, try casting your vote <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/strawpoll.com\/polls\/NoZrLXj8an3\">here<\/a>. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>As to our second question, which features do you prioritize? There is some advanced functionality that arrived in recent years like ECG for more accurate and detailed heart info than a simple heart rate tracker. That tends to be reserved for the pricier models, however. Many people want to be able to run with their phones off the phone, and have a GPS tracker or music storage. Having voice calling available helps with that too and mobile payments are quite convenient. <\/p>\n<p>What features do you look for when considering a new smartwatch or band? Note that you can tick several options, including a custom answer by filling in the Other option. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"620\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/strawpoll.com\/embed\/polls\/2ayLWExE3Z4\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 900px;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i>If the poll widget above is giving you trouble, try casting your vote <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/strawpoll.com\/polls\/2ayLWExE3Z4\">here<\/a>. <\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-image\">https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/05\/weekly-poll-smartwatches\/-952x498w6\/gsmarena_000.jpg<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-link\">https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/weekly_poll_how_many_of_you_have_a_smartwatch_and_what_kind-news-54198.php?rand=119<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weekly poll: how many of you have a smartwatch and what kind?
