With 1 in 10 Americans owning and using one on a regular basis, their popularity is growing. They offer a wide array of benefits and it may leave you wondering how a device so small can impact your business. ### Increased productivity Have you ever missed an important call because your phone was on silent, in your pocket or your hand bag? What if you could answer these calls from your wrist? That is a game changer. Along with getting calls to your wrist, you can also receive emails, texts, and even event reminders so you can be more productive and always be on time with the help of your smartwatch. ### Travel Sometimes owning a small business means that you will travel. Sometimes travel is seldom, but some small business owners travel (driving or flying) A LOT. With wallet apps and GPS, smartwatches make traveling a cinch. You can access plane tickets, itineraries, and even turn by turn (or step by step) directions right on your wrist. It is also easy to access travel alerts with your hands full. ### Health Are you aware that overweight and obese employees [can cost you money](https://www.americanexpress.com/en-us/business/trends-and-insights/articles/obesity-epidemic-affecting-business-can/) in the long run? They can cause insurance premiums to go up, they tend to be less productive, and they take more sick days than the average American. Because of this, a lot of American businesses are partaking in [health initiatives](https://healthsolutions.fitbit.com/) to encourage employees to get fit. Typically they will offer free or discounted fitness trackers or smartwatches to their employees. The newest models of FitBits offer workouts directly on your watch along with tracking of exercise, steps, heart rate etc. Having healthier employees, yourself included, will make your business healthier. ### Music Did you know that music is capable of reducing stress, improve your mood, improve your memory and even improve cognition? Music is an integral part of life and culture. No matter what kind of small business you have, chances are that there’s music playing somewhere somehow. What if you could control that from your wrist? That is a major benefit of new smartwatches. Some smartwatches even store and play music directly from the watch so you can have music on the go. ### Payments Have you ever made it to the front of a check out line and realized you forgot your wallet? Or are you juggling a lot with your small business and don’t always have a free hand to look for your cash or card? Most smartwatches on the market these days have the ability to link payment info and pay directly from your watch. It is an easy and secure way to get all of your paying done on the go, which is a must for small business owners. ### Sleep well Did you know that 79% of American adults are getting less than the recommended amount of sleep? Sleep is vital for every business owner to remain productive and have a clear mind. Not only does an intuitive smartwatch, like the [FitBit Versa](https://www.fitbit.com/shop/versa?utm_source=&utm_medium=paidsearch&gclid=Cj0KCQjws5HlBRDIARIsAOomqA2OJlQkNYk_WIMk62nPlybhzMaxlH6r29i5Wq28WBuJdzvw5a7PeHUaAsB9EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds), track your sleep, but it also offers insights to help you work towards a consistent routine for sleep and offers reminders that your recommended bedtime is approaching.
