Wearable Fitness Equipment
The following are 3 top wearable products for people who are fitness lovers!
#1 - Garmin Forerunner 35
Some smartwatches have so many complex features that it can be easy to get confused. Some try to do so many things with a compact device that everything starts to get somewhat scrambled.
The Garmin Forerunner 35 goes back to basics and provides you with all of the important information that you want to know in an easy to understand and simple package.
Design
First of all, there is the actual part of the watch itself. It offers a very minimalistic and clean digital clock, in addition to the battery charge level and date.
At first glance, that is all you need to know over the course of the day as you are using the device as a watch.
LCD Displays Real Information
To review your fitness information, you can switch over to the other screens, but as you are walking around or working, you will have all of the basic information that you need. There are a couple of different screens that are available Each one provides you with basic health stats.
For instance, the heart rate screen displays your resting heart rate and current heart rate. The heart rate sensor constantly measures, so it can provide you with a fairly accurate average that will tell you if you are getting a sufficient amount of rest.
There is a screen as well for distance traveled. It includes a distance reading and a step counter. Based on the distance you have traveled and your information, it also provides you with a calorie counter and information on the times when you have burned the highest number of calories.
GPS System
A basic watch doesn't necessarily mean it can't have some fancy features as well. This watch has one of the best GPS systems. It keeps detailed information about your runs that can be used to help you track your progress.
It can tell you how fast you ran or the route that you took, and even more. Whether you are a hiker or cross county runner, this information is valuable. For runners who are less experienced, the run/walk mode is useful to help them pace their runs out better.
You cannot simply sprint throughout a whole long run. You must pace things out. This watch model tells you when you should walk and when you should run to allow your heart rates to go down. That can be very helpful for people who have not run competitively before, and are unsure what pace to go at.
Syncs With Smartphone
The Garmin Forerunner 35 is able to sync with a majority of smartphones so that your alerts can be forwarded to you. That way your run does not have to be interrupted by needing to pull your clunky smartphone out to read a brief text message to get the alert.
#2 - Apple Watch Series 5
The Apple Watch Series 5 provides a high quality build and numerous incredible features that helps you maximize the use of your iPhone whether you just like to use technology or are focused on fitness.
There are plenty of apps available, both downloadable and built-in, to help you make improvements to your lifestyle and health and make things easier for you at all times.
The watch features the signature Retina display from Apple, which has a very high resolution to the point that you cannot distinguish individual pixels. This makes everything look clean and seamless.
LCD Display
The display is a touch screen and is colorful and bright. The Series 5 features an always-on display and works more like traditional watches, which means it doesn't need to be fiddled with when you simply want to take a quick glance at your watch to see what time it is.
It is possible to turn the watch off, but many people find it more useful to leave it on. The Apple Watch is able to track many different levels of your body's activities.
Advanced Tracking
It tracks a number of regular things such as how much you have exercised or the distance that you have run, and also tracks such things as sleep patterns and heart rate levels.
If you feel tired, your watch may be able to display the times at night when you have experienced poor sleep. This watch can even track such things as noise levels measured in decibels to tell you when things are too loud.
That can help to prevent you from suffering long term hearing loss due to remaining in a loud environment for a long period of time. There is also an app that tracks and logs information on your menstruation cycle..
iPhone Integration
When your Apple Watch and iPhone are connected together, it tracks your notifications and responds quickly to your calls and messages. You can text individuals back directly from your watch. It is actually a lot easier to do this you may think.
The watch can also receive and make phone calls, and you can answer them through your watch. Apple Pay allows you to place your debit cards inside the virtual wallet and then directly pay through your watch.
These days, many scanners at grocery stores and restaurants accept Apple Pay. All you need to do is choose the card you would like to use and then hold your watch to the scanner. According to Apple, the service is secure and fast, so you can be assured that your information will not be at risk when using your cards.
#3 - Fitbit Charge 4
If you like going on long hikes or runs, or just go to the gym on a regular basis, having a Fitbit could help to greatly improve your experience by tracking essential information. It also serves as a smart, stylish watch at the same time.
The Charge 4 is the most recent Fitbit. It comes with lots of features that will be loved by fitness enthusiasts, which makes it a must-have for runners and gym goers. The most obvious and first characteristic of the Charge 4 is that it is a simple and sleek watch.
Customizable

Advanced Tracking
The Charge 4 constantly tracks your heart rate. This is an important health and fitness factor. If you have a high resting heart rate, it can be an indication of other issues. You also might have a specific heart rate that you are trying to achieve during your workouts.
If you decide to wear your watch while you are sleeping, it can provide you with information on the quality of your sleep, and if you are waking up at specific times. When you are getting a full night's rest, you sleep in different stages. It can let you know which parts of the sleep cycle need to be improved.
The battery life on the watch is a week long, so you can sleep with it on without needing to worry about having to charge it too often. One of the defining features of this watch is that it comes with a built-in GPS to track your progress and pace along a trail or path.
For cross country runners and outdoor runners, that information can be critical and otherwise hard to track. It also can tell you which parts of your run were easier and which were more intense.
Phone Connectivity
