Tips For Waterproof Sports Smart Watch
Many people in the market for a new smartwatch are looking for one that is waterproof and rugged. There are many on the market, with varying degrees of ruggedness, some even including heart rate tracking. Here are my tips to help you find your next best watch!
1. Understand what you need:
In general, water-resistant watches can be thrown into the pool, but not showering them or submerging them below water level is recommended as risking damage to your watch’s internal components. With that said, there are different degrees of water resistance, and some smartwatches can take double the amount of water pressure as others.
2. Look for the IP rating seal:
The IP rating is a 2-digit number that helps you understand how protected your watch is against the elements. The first number deals with liquid protection, and the second number deals with dust. The higher the numbers, the more protected your device is.
3. Make sure to double-check waterproof claims:
The IP rating alone isn’t enough to give you peace of mind since some brands inflate their waterproof claims while others are pretty accurate. For example, if your watch is rated at IP68, it means it can be submerged in up to 1 meter of water for no longer than 30 minutes.
4. Wallet-friendly options
Not everyone is looking for a rugged smartwatch and many are simply looking for something sleek with a bit of functionality. For the casual smartwatch user, something like the Honor Band 4 or Samsung Gear Sport might be more suitable until they get their hands on a device that really interests them.
5. Compare your watch to other smartwatches:
Take a look at competitive products to see what they offer and how they compare to the watches on your wish list. If you’re looking for a smart sports watch, it’s helpful to have a comparison between different brands that specialize in those devices.
6. Price:
Remember that you get what you pay for. Price does matter, but so do functionality and design. If you end up finding your next best smartwatch at a budget price, make sure to read reviews and feedback from others who have purchased the device.
