Smartwatches have become a trendy accessory, and the reason for this is not far-fetched. Aside from being stylish and just telling the time, they also perform a variety of functions that are imperative for daily activities like tracking your heart, sleep, overall activity/fitness level, call/text notification, weather alerts and a host of other functions.
