Canyon Jacky SW-69 Smartwatch reviewed

More and more people are using smart watches to track their health, and, if nothing else, to hit those initial 10,000 steps. Much like Malcom Gladwell’s hypothesis about putting in ten thousand hours into something, there is both truth, a truism, and a degree of subjectivity about such an arbitrary number.  Some studies and analysis suggest the same may be true of ten thousand steps. It may not exactly need to be that amount, some people may need to do less, some, ultra runners for example, will blow past that many times in one day. However, like all approximate rules of thumb, health advisors see no harm in hitting ten thousand steps in a day, and it may well also be doing you the world of good too.

Getting out and about afterall can only be good for you. Vitamin D, mental health, fresh air, and the simple benefits of exercise itself. The tracker on your smartphone is therefore the tool that tells you how close you are to hitting this goal, and can be a motivator to going that extra mile, literally, to reach those golden numbers. Smart watches can also tell you a whole lot more, heartbeat, the weather, give you mindfulness goals, and much much more. Or not. This therefore is the question, how smart do you need your smart watch to be? Battery life is important, although, for some people, once the 10k steps have been reached, it can be liberating to then take off, and turn off the watch for the day. Sure the manufacturers want you to sleep with it on, just think of all that extra lovely data they can gather on you.

This therefore brings us to the Canyon smart watch offering, currently selling at a fraction of the price of many of its more highly produced competitors. If you have a kid, doing weekly activities, and wanting to see how far they are going, how fast, what their heartbeat is, then this could be perfect. Sure for the price, you will probably get less bells and whistles, but, for the core functions that you are looking for, then this could be a great purchase for the coming spring and summer months. Information can inform and motivate behaviour, which is probably the main benefit of a smart watch afterall, and this one does the job well.
