Do I really need SmartWatch for fitness?

 Smartwatch or fitness tracker helps you to focus on your fitness goal and reminds you to stay on the move. I personally use an Apple watch to track my daily activities which helps me to understand and track my progress based on trending data. One might ask what is trending data in terms of fitness trackers? Basically, the apple watch compares your three-month data with the previous three-month data to show you the trends. For a say, I used to walk 5 KM per day in the previous three months and started walking like 6 KM per day in the last three months. So, it will give you the direction as trending high. There are other features in expensive smartwatches like Apple, they calculate things like BPM (heart rate), HRV (heart rate variability), Sleep cycles (REM, CORE, and DEEP), standing time, and calories burned. Even breathing rates during sleep were collected.

Whether or not you need a smartwatch for fitness will depend on your personal preferences and needs. A smartwatch can be a useful tool for tracking your fitness progress and for motivating you to stay active, but it is not essential for everyone. 

Some of the benefits of using a smartwatch for fitness include:

 Convenience: A smartwatch allows you to track your fitness activities without having to carry a separate device, such as a pedometer or a heart rate monitor. This can make it easier and more convenient to track your progress and stay motivated.

 Accuracy: Many smartwatches are equipped with sensors that can accurately track your activity levels, heart rate, and other fitness metrics. This can provide more accurate and detailed information about your fitness progress than other types of fitness tracking devices.

 Motivation: Many smartwatches have features that can help you stay motivated, such as fitness challenges and rewards. These features can provide a fun and engaging way to encourage you to stay active and reach your fitness goals.

 Overall, whether or not you need a smartwatch for fitness will depend on your personal preferences and fitness goals. If you think that a smartwatch would be a useful tool for tracking your progress and staying motivated, then it may be worth considering.
