Why use a smart watch?

While watches used to be a fashion staple and a functional way to tell the time on the go, that’s less important these days when everyone has a phone that’s not only a clock but a calendar, a phone and a computer all at once.

The humble watch has received a big boost in the form of the smart watch, which kicks it up a dozen notches to offer brand new functionality with a style that’s all its own. So why bother with a smart watch when you have a phone, then? Well, while smart watches are great at doing what a traditional watch does, their real value lies in all the other great features they bring to the table, including some things a phone can’t do:

• • Health and fitness tracking, e.g. heart rate monitoring
• • Step counters
• • Connecting to your phone
• • Receiving text messages or notifications
• • Making and receiving phone calls
• • Customisable watch faces and straps for mix-and-match fashion depending on the event
• • And much more depending on the smart watch

Smart watches have brought the watch out of the dark ages and into the digital future … and they can still tell the time! Our versatile range has something for everyone, so no matter if you’re an Apple fan or a Garmin enthusiast, or need a watch for your kids, Officeworks has the perfect choice.
