Work it out

Get your daily dose of endorphins. While a smartwatch can track your activity levels, calories burnt, heart rate and more, it’s hard to know which one to pick. But with plenty of smartwatches and fitness trackers to choose from, you’ll be able to find the best one to suit your needs. Don’t worry If you don’t have a smartphone. If you know someone with an iPhone, you can link an Apple Watch to their phone so you can still track what you’re doing.
