It also tracks recovery time, aerobic and anaerobic training effect. The smartwatch can store up to 1000 songs for phone-free listening and can even syncs your favourite music from select streaming services like Spotify.
 
The new safety feature - built in incident detection, allows users to share their real time location with their pre-chosen contacts, in case one needs assistance.
