Want to use your watch not only to monitor your sports performance, but also to receive notifications of messages and calls, for example? Want to be able to download apps and maybe even make calls and send messages? Then you are looking for a sports watch with smartwatch functions: the perfect hybrid of sports, lifestyle, and a bit of fashion. Because smartwatches often look a lot fancier than a rugged sports watch. Luckily, there are plenty of brands that make watches that suit every aspect of your life!
A good (built-in) heart rate monitor will give you even better insight into your training and recovery and allow you to progress even more efficiently. Which watch & heart rate monitor combo suits your lifestyle depends on what you value. Do you mostly want a very accurate measurement of your heart rate? Then the combination of a sports watch with a heart rate monitor and a heart rate strap that you wear around your chest is recommended. Do you just want a subtle watch that also measures your heart rate? Then a basic sports watch or an activity tracker is probably enough for your needs.
