Nowadays we are permanently connected to technology, paying attention to our smartphones, social networks, wireless headphones and, since a few years ago, also to smartwatches, devices that allow us to perfectly combine connectivity with the registration of our sports activities .
Smartwatches have been evolving and improving their features with the aim of reaching a wider audience and allowing us to perfectly combine the connectivity functions we need for our daily lives with the monitoring and tracking of our health and sports activities. Maybe you don't need a heart rate monitor, nor do you need a 500 or 600€ sports watch.
That's why at RUNNEA we want to introduce you to what our team of experts consider to be the best smartwatches that you can combine in your daily life with the practice of your favorite sports. Models that will surely triumph throughout this "just" released 2025 thanks to their incredible technical performance, but with a great value for money.
And there already are smartwatches on the market that have advanced sensors such as altimeter, heart rate measurement or blood oxygen saturation, in additionto GPS tracking (essential for our outdoor activities), water resistant build (allowing us to perform water activities) and the measurement of parameters related to fitness activities, so they represent a good choice for athletes who do not need the great features offered by heart rate monitors oriented exclusively to sport.
