Help people live healthier lives by tracking workouts and daily activity. Setting fitness goals can help improve performance over time.

Apps to keep you connected to everywhere

Smartwatches are designed to help people live more active lifestyles by bringing health and fitness tracking with them everywhere they go.
People use smartwatches to track their workouts or daily activity for many reasons, such as maintaining a level of activity, improving their performance, or working towards a specific goal. Fitness apps can provide motivation and also allow people to reflect on their fitness journey.
There are certain contexts where people may not have access to their mobile phones. In this case their watch enables them to quickly glance at important health and fitness information that matters to them such as heart rate or step count.

Help people be more active and achieve their fitness goals

The smartwatch has accurate sensors that give people the insight they need to train and perform better. The on-body device enables better workout- and activity-tracking without adding anything cumbersome.
