Another main function of the smart watch is the health monitoring function, which mainly includes health applications such as sleep, heart rate, ECG, blood oxygen, and breathing training. These functions are mainly to monitor the health of the human body and provide medical advice on the data monitored by the administrative bureau. Most manufacturers now regard the health monitoring of smart watches as their main development direction. It is currently predictable that blood glucose monitoring technology will be applied to smart watches. Adult smart watches cannot be generalized. According to different scenarios, manufacturers develop the same product to adapt to business, sports, leisure and other scenarios. Such as Huawei, Apple, Samsung, Veepoo, etc. Children’s smart watches focus on voice calls and security, and are equipped with communication and positioning functions to facilitate parents to understand their children’s whereabouts; for example, in daily life, we can make some children’s products mainly by some low-end manufacturers.
