Science and Technology Desk: Smartwatch is a smaller version of smartphone. Again, the function of fitness bands is almost the same. Which is better for whom?

Smartwatch

How many steps did you walk throughout the day, what is the heart rate and the level of oxygen in the blood! These are a few things. Whether it's a smart watch or a fitness band - the two functions are almost the same. But these days many wear smartwatches and fitness bands at the same time. So what is the meaning of having two kinds of instruments in both hands?

Many people may not know that a smaller version of a smartphone is a smartwatch. There is no way to take the phone out of the pocket in the crowded bus. Then this device is the hope. Talking on the phone, viewing messages, Facebook or Instagram notifications can all be done with the help of a smartwatch. Many people think that fitness bands are only for the health conscious. Everything from high blood pressure, heart rate to blood oxygen level can be measured in this device. How many steps you walked or how much exercise you did throughout the day, can be understood by looking at the level of calorie burning.

But technology is improving day by day. Many people do not want to spend money on different devices. So the technicians tried to combine several features of these two devices. Several organizations cater to that need. But it is a bit troublesome in terms of use. Connecting the fitness band with the phone is not very easy.

Smartwatches include all kinds of fitness trackers. This includes GPS. The facility of measuring calories separately according to the needs of each body is also provided. Apart from this, there are music playlists, Bluetooth for wireless headsets, mic for hands-free talking. If you want, this device can work independently even if you don't connect the smartwatch with the phone. The price of the smartwatch is a bit higher. Starting from 3 thousand rupees, the price of smartwatch can be 50 thousand or even more than lakhs.

Fitness bands are not that smart. Nevertheless, fitness bands are in demand among the health conscious. Because, the display of the fitness bands is smaller than that of the smartwatch. There is no danger of running out of battery quickly like a smartwatch. These types of bands can also be worn during sleep. Best of all, fitness bands are also cheaper than smartwatches. There are fitness bands from various companies in the market. There are various options starting from 2000 taka to 20000 taka.
