What To Cook Mum On Mother's Day
“It depends,” says John Wong, The Good Guys Buyer – Mobiles and Plans. “A fitness tracker will complement Mum’s wellness goals with various sport modes and high-tech heart rate tracking, GPS tracking for pin-accurate 5km runs, and plenty of health-based tools like sleep and menstrual cycle tracking. “Smartwatches suit an active lifestyle too, and are big on smartphone connectivity, which means Mum can check and reply to notifications without having to unlock her phone. They also offer the traditional watch face, whereas fitness trackers offer slick, sporty styling.”
Smartwatches have adopted a lot of fitness-based features such as heart rate, sleep and activity tracking; and some fitness trackers will show notifications from your phone, like only the smartwatch once could.
If Mum wants to beat her parkrun time or track her triathlon training, or is into a particular sport, she’ll appreciate the advanced metrics of a fitness tracker. But if she’s looking to keep tabs on her health while keeping on top of her busy schedule, opt for a smartwatch instead.
Whichever model you choose, the latest smartwatches are fashion statements that will work with any wardrobe:
If she lives in activewear, swears by Pilates or insists on walking everywhere (or all of the above!) then it’s official – you’ve got a sporty mum. All that movement simply must be tracked, and a fitness tracker is up for the job.
“On top of the basics – tracking steps, heart rate and energy expenditure – the latest fitness trackers can measure heart rate zones to help Mum keep her heart rate high in HIIT class or steady during a long run,” says John Wong. “There’s also GPS tracking for pin-accurate mapping on her weekend hike.”
Don’t forget recovery! Fitbit’s Body Battery considers recent sleep and physical activity to show when she’s recovered or in need of a rest day.

A smartwatch is a workout buddy, health tracker and sleep coach in one. For all-day wellness, Apple, Fitbit and Garmin watches can remind Mum to stand, get some steps in, or drink water.
Smartwatches link back to a smartphone app, so she can flick through key health measures such as steps, blood oxygen levels, body temperature and sleep, all at the touch of a button.
“Sleep tracking doesn’t just note the hours you spend asleep – this smart tech recognises light, deep and REM sleep stages to show whether a sleep was restorative,” says John Wong.
There’s period tracking, too. Mum can log symptoms through the app, then check her cycle stage from her wrist.

From texts and emails to reminders and map directions, a smartwatch keeps Mum connected. She’ll be pinged with the latest updates and can reply by writing a message or using voice control.
“There are Apple Watch screen sizes to suit every need – a 41mm screen is perfect for a compact and slender look, while a 44mm or 49mm display makes texts easy to read and replies easy to type,” says John Wong.
Mum will love going out phone-free with a cellular Apple Watch – these models let you see and reply to messages, take calls and stay connected without a smart phone nearby.

Look for a smartwatch with apps and features that will help your mum keep calm and carry on.
A watch with music storage houses all her favourite playlists and podcasts for her morning walk, while breathwork reminders and bite-sized meditations help to maintain her Zen. Fitbit watches use respiratory and heart rate data to deliver a Stress Management Score, plus guided breathing sessions for instant relaxation.
Mum can make the face of her Garmin, Fitbit, Apple or Samsung watch her own with widgets – sunrise and sunset times, step count, tides, weather and UV levels can all be visible with the flick of her wrist.
