Hybrid smartwatches are for those who want a little bit of technology and traditional design: a watch that has an analog look, but has smart functions such as activity and health/fitness trackers. Simply put, a hybrid smartwatch has combined features of a traditional analog watch and a smartwatch. This is the perfect type of watch for those who want the functions of a smartwatch, but don’t want something that looks too high tech or complicated.

These are connected to smartphones, allowing the user to use the watch as an activity tracker, receive notifications from the phone, and control functions remotely (ie. using the watch as a controller for the music player)
