Smartwatches: A useful health tool on your wrist

Smartwatches are digital watches that do more—a lot more—than your old analog time tracking device. These typically integrate with a user’s smartphone, run various health and activity-focused apps, and send alerts for incoming calls, e-mail messages and social media messages. Most of them even make mobile calls. We take a look at two such wearables that are high on features and usability, with decent price tags.

Noise ColorFit Ultra Buzz
Noise ColorFit Ultra Buzz features a full touch screen 1.75-inch LCD display. The display resolution is 320x 385 pixels. It has an IP68 rating. You can use it underwater up to a depth of 1.5m for up to 30 minutes. However, avoid saunas, hot water and ocean water. ColorFit Ultra Buzz is not shockproof, so please avoid dropping it from a height as the watch may get damaged.

It features HR sensor, Accelerometer and SpO2 sensor. ColorFit Ultra Buzz does not feature a camera but you can use the remote camera control feature to click a photo. You get notifications for SMS, calls, email, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Instagram, FB messenger, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Gmail, Outlook, Snapchat, and Telegram, as long as the notification feature is turned on and your phone and smartwatch are in Bluetooth range and in sync. You even have a phone tracking option! Just turn on the watch screen, swipe up from the home screen, and select Find my Phone. However, this will only work if your phone and smartwatch are connected via Bluetooth and in range. Overall, a decent smart wearable.
