If you\u2019re interested in the inner workings of your body, what are the best watches for health monitoring? Today\u2019s smartwatches can do it all; ordering a pizza? Sure. Connecting with a satellite orbiting Earth? No problem. Whether you\u2019re crushing Hyrox<\/a> races or just trying to not suddenly die on your way to work, the latest generation of wearables makes it easier than ever to keep tabs on the metrics that matter most.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost doctor visits are just a snapshot \u2014 your vitals are taken, checked, and recorded in one place, one time,\u201d says Parth Bhavsar, MD<\/a>, board-certified family medicine physician. \u201cBut a health watch tracks data over weeks, months, or longer. That\u2019s where the value is. Changes in resting heart rate<\/a>, fitness, sleep, or movement typically happen gradually, and changes usually occur long before you become sick or need to visit a doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are the best watches for health monitoring, from tracking your sleep, heart health to stress levels<\/a> and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmong the wearables in the market, the clinical data on the health features of Apple Watch<\/a> are the strongest,\u201d says Dr. Bhavsar. \u201cThis is particularly true in the case of the single-lead electrocardiogram for the detection of irregular heart rhythm.\u201d And with the latest update, Apple Watch is now able to detect hypertension, or high blood pressure \u2014 a leading cause of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease that affects over 1.3 billion adults worldwide. \u00a3369.

Fans of the Android ecosystem need not stress<\/a>. No, seriously \u2014 following Google\u2019s acquisition of Fitbit, Pixel Watches now come with Fitbit\u2019s body response feature that detects signs of stress in real time to help you keep your levels in check. Like the Pixel Watch 3, you\u2019ll also be able to keep tabs on a range of core health metrics, including heart rate and sleep tracking \u2014 just with better battery life and more seamless Gemini integration. \u00a3349.
