Ever since buying the Fitbit Charge 2 in 2016, I’ve been a huge fan of smartwatches and fitness trackers. While smartwatches are great for their “smart” features and workout tracking capabilities, that’s not why I love them. I can pull out my phone to check a notification or pace myself during a long run without a wearable. The underlying health metrics that modern smartwatches measure are irreplaceable, though.
