Smartwatches at Abt

Wristwatches have been a classic accessory for over 150 years, but have only ever had one concrete function: telling time. As technology has advanced and cell phones and touch screens were introduced to popular culture, we somehow found a way to merge the past with the future to create a wrist accessory that offers not just style, but high function: the smartwatch. Wearable technology has never looked so good and Abt has plenty of options for you to choose from.

Just as there are many wristwatch designs and styles, so is the same with smartwatches. Several are built specifically for sports, some durably designed for the wear and tear of armed forces and some aimed toward fitness or fashion. We have a broad, diverse collection, sure to provide the perfect smartwatch for almost anyone. These accessories got their name from their technological intelligence as, depending on the model, they're able to monitor your location with GPS, play music, connect you to phone calls and more. Their range of abilities can be supported and expanded by connecting your cellphone to the device as well. Because this accessory is not compatible with all the apps and games available on your smartphone, using a smartwatch also improves your focus as it offers less distraction, all while keeping you on top of your most important daily notifications. If your accessory has fitness tracking features, it can monitor your movement and steps throughout the day and report the data to an app on your phone for you to review. Long-term progress is guaranteed to be consistently measured, whether it's your heart rate or sleep cycles. If the idea of squinting down at a tiny screen doesn't seem ideal, these watches also come in different screen sizes for user convenience. You may not need to take it off, even for a dip in the pool or a quick shower, as more of these watches are now waterproof and dust resistant.

Intelligence Meets Fashion

One advantage of the classic wristwatch was the uniqueness of each design. Whether it was a different color or shaped bezel, each one had its own personality and defined look. While smartwatches have a more streamlined design with their touchscreens, different brands and companies have managed to maintain unique and bold styles with interchangeable watch bands and straps. The shapes and smooth rounded bezels of these accessories are kept simple in order to complement the bands, which come in all different materials, patterns and shades. Classic wristwatch bands are attached to the bezel, and unable to be switched out or removed. Once you invest in a normal watch, you are stuck with the same fashion for as long as you wear it. This is not the case with smartwatches. As your sense of style changes, so can your watch band. You can even try matching the strap to your favorite outfits and looks on a consistent basis.
