Smartwatches and fitness wristbands are now real all-rounders: they serve as heart rate monitors and altimeters, count steps, calculate distance travelled and calories burned and analyse sleep patterns. Some can also be used to play music, make phone calls or send and receive messages. If you want, you can even find models that generate ECGs, measure blood pressure or enable contactless payment.
