A good Sports Watch is an investment in your health and will probably last you for years. It needs to be comfortable, stylish, versatile enough to match multiple outfits, reliable, and accurate at tracking your progress. The following are tips on the best sports watch.

1. COMFORT

Comfort is very important when it comes to wearing a watch as you will be wearing it most of the time. Ensure that the strap is neither too loose nor too tight. The watch should sit well on your wrist without pressing too hard into your skin.

2. TRACKS MULTIPLE ACTIVITIES

Look for a Sports Watch with different activity trackers such as steps, running, and cycling. You will also want to ensure that the activity tracker is suitable for any outdoor workouts in all weather conditions, including rain and snow.

3. ADJUSTABLE STRAP

A Sports Watch with adjustable straps allows you to change the length of the strap depending on how loose or tight you need it when exercising or at other times when you want it to be looser.

4. CAN TRACK YOUR HEART RATE

To improve your workout sessions, you need to know how hard your body works. To do this, try a Sports Watch that comes with an optical heart rate monitor to measure the beats per minute of your heart. You can then adjust and challenge yourself more accurately during workouts.

5. WATER-RESISTANT

A water-resistant Sports Watch can be submerged in around 50m of water, which makes it suitable for swimming and showering. To ensure that your watch stays in good condition, look for a model with either a stainless steel or rubber strap.

6. TRACKS YOUR SLEEP

It isn’t easy to know if you are getting good quality sleep when you are on your own. A Sports Watch with Sleep Tracker will monitor how much light, deep, and REM sleep you get to give you a better idea of the quality of your sleep.

7. CAN TRACK YOUR LOCATION

If your Sports Watch has built-in GPS, it can also track the distance, pace, and location of your workout. This is especially useful if you want to improve your distance running skills as it will guide you along the best route.
