smartwatch

Digital wrist companion

A smartwatch is a wristwatch that functions as a miniature computer, typically connecting to a smartphone to display notifications, track fitness metrics, and run apps.

Beyond telling time, smartwatches monitor heart rate, count steps, and allow quick responses to messages: I left my phone in the car but saw the text on my smartwatch.
