From the sundial to the smart travel companion: How time-keeping became an important part of self-care

The article explores the evolution of timekeeping devices from ancient sundials and water clocks to modern smartwatches like the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9. It traces the historical development of mechanical watches during the Middle Ages, the transition to portable wristwatches driven by military needs, and the digital revolution of the 1970s with quartz technology. Today’s smartwatches go beyond telling time, offering health monitoring features such as sleep apnea detection, heart health tracking, and hearing care through advanced sensors and AI integration.
