#1 Choosing a connected watch compatible with your smartphone
Not all connected watches are compatible with all smartphone brands. That’s why you need to find out beforehand to make sure that your watch will be able to connect to your phone! As a general rule, if you have an iPhone, it is advisable to opt for an Apple Watch. If you have an Android phone, you should choose another model.

Connected watches can be recharged at different frequencies: daily, weekly, monthly, and even for some every year because they work with a battery. Depending on your use, this criterion can be very important. Take the time to compare models!
#3 Determine your use
Your connected watch can have several objectives: health, fitness, sleep… Depending on your expectations, you will pay more or less attention to different criteria :

- health functions: watches have a heart sensor and some models even offer the possibility of performing an electrocardiogram, calculating the maximum oxygen volume or oxygen saturation in the blood.
