Nowadays we are permanently connected to technology, pending our smartphones, social networks, wireless headphones and, since a few years ago, also to smart watches, devices that allow us to perfectly combine connectivity with the registration of our sports activities .

Smart watches have been evolving and improving their features with the aim of reaching a wider audience and allowing us to perfectly combine the connectivity functions we need for our daily lives with the monitoring and tracking of our health and sports activities. Maybe you don't need a heart rate monitor, nor do you need a 500 or 600€ sports watch.

In RUNNEA we present you the best smart watches that you can combine in your daily life with the practice of your favorite sports.

Graduated in Business Sciences and Master in Sport Management. I am passionate about sport, it is my way of life and indispensable in my daily life. I'm lucky to work in a field that I enjoy very much. I love starting the day with a little running or trail running to charge the physical and mental batteries. I also like to travel and, sometimes under the excuse of participating in a race. I'm collaborator of RUNNEA, hoping to contribute, to add valor to the project and to the area in general.
