Smartwatches are the inevitable result of the passive evolution of traditional watches with a single function in the era of big data; intelligent society and fast-paced life force us to pay attention to the functions of watches. Based on various life needs, smartwatches are mainly divided into the following two categories in terms of functions.
Main function
The main function of the smartwatch plays a decisive role in the user experience brought by the smartwatch.

Today's smartwatches not only have step counting functions but also exercise guidance functions, so they can be called exercise monitoring. Through the built-in acceleration sensor to obtain your position and movement information from different dimensions, to achieve the effect of monitoring.
At present, the acceleration sensor used in most smartwatches has changed from the original two-axis to the three-axis. Compared with the two-axis sensor, the three-axis sensor adds an additional directional dimension monitoring in the horizontal direction, that is, the three-dimensional dimension, which improves the accuracy of motion monitoring. If it is a smartwatch selected based on sports needs, it is recommended to choose a smartwatch with a three-dimensional sensor.

The main use is the projection measurement method, which utilizes the absorption of light of a specific wavelength by blood to achieve the effect of monitoring heart rate and heartbeat.
