Festina SmarTime was conceived to be the perfect companion in every way. There is a heart rate monitor which keeps track of your heart rate during exercise. There are also other features that promote the user’s wellbeing, such as a sleep patterns monitor, and reminders to drink water and get up and move around. Sport is one of the other great allies of Festina SmarTime: the multi-sports mode is integrated with systems to track exercise data for different types of sports, such as hiking, running, cycling, swimming or football. Among the integrated features are a calorie monitor, counting distance covered or activity time. Style has by no means been compromised.
