A smartwatch is a wristwatch sized computer which can perform some limited functions of a computer on its own and relies on an app for its extended functionality and management.

While timepieces have been one of the top-selling items globally, and people have invested millions in luxurious watches for the "timeless" experience, these new gadgets do so much more than display the time. Packed with front-line versatile innovation, smartwatches these days can perform a number of tasks that were limited to smartphones in the past.

Some examples include fitness tracking, call, and SMS alerts, storing and displaying pictures, videos, and presentations, monitoring vital signs, etc.
