- Count your calories burned
- Display distance traveled
- Keep track of your exercise activities

- And many more other functionalities.
The fitness-feature landscape is constantly changing as wearable technology evolves.
The smartwatch will also alert you if it detects irregularities in your health condition, such as low blood pressure. There is also a built-in GPS feature which allows you to track your runs without having to bring your phone along with you.
Some native sports apps are also able to show you a visual step-by-step exercise routine which can come in handy if your cellular data is out of service.
You can also check your energy levels throughout the day and schedule your workouts and rest time accordingly. These features are especially beneficial to people who want to keep regular tabs on the quality of their health.
