What's the difference between smart watch and sports watch?

With the development of science and technology, smart wearable devices are also developing rapidly, and now there are many types for users to choose from, even to a dizzying level. Many users who do not know much also equate smart watches with sports watches. However, in fact, these two watches are also worn on the hand, but they are not the same two products.

To put it simply, smart watches focus on "smart life", which is a collection of smart devices shrunk on the wrist, while sports watches focus on "sports", which can reflect your exercise data and analyze exercise results.

Below, I will share with you in detail the different advantages of sports watches and smart watches.

This is an important function that traditional watches cannot provide.

3. Voice interaction function

The half marathon closes in 3 hours, the whole horse closes in 6 hours, not to mention 50 kilometers off-road and 100 kilometers off-road... If you turn on the heart rate and GPS of the watch, you can't stand it without long battery life. Therefore, most professional sports watches are blessed with long battery life.
