It was only a couple of years ago that smartwatches rose in popularity. Today, numerous fashion brands – and even a number of Swiss watchmakers – have come up with their own connected timepiece.

Watches now tell more than time. They can track your fitness level, and monitor your sleep, plus provide notifications and alerts for texts and apps. Some are even able to make and answer calls hands-free.
