The Journey from Simple Timers to Health Hubs
Early sports watches in the 1990s focused on basic metrics like distance and speed. By the 2000s, GPS integration allowed runners to map routes, but limited battery life and clunky interfaces restricted adoption. Today’s smartwatches, such as the Apple Watch and Garmin Venu 3, use advanced sensors to monitor heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO2), and sleep patterns, transforming them into personal health coaches.

Innovations Shaping the Market
Brands like Garmin and Apple dominate with specialized features. The Garmin Lily 2 Active targets women with menstrual cycle tracking, while Apple Watch’s 跌倒检测功能 adds a safety layer for older users. Meanwhile, budget-friendly options like Xiaomi’s Redmi Band Pro offer 110+ workout modes and 14-day battery life, appealing to fitness enthusiasts.

Beyond Fitness: Lifestyle Integration
Modern smartwatches double as lifestyle tools. Features like contactless payments, music controls, and smartphone notifications make them indispensable. For instance, Samsung’s Galaxy Watch series integrates with Google Assistant, allowing voice commands for tasks like checking the weather or sending texts.
