If you are looking some device like a smartwatch with a complete built-in sensors this could the best choice. There are a bunch of sensors in this device. Let me mention it:

1. Optical hert rate sensor (Not every smartwatch have this feature)
2. 3-axis acclerometer/gyro
3. Gyrometer
4. GPS ( with a built-in GPS , you can use app to track your steps while running or jogging without your phone in your pocket, cool right.. you leave your phone home.)
5. Ambient ligth sensor
6. UV sensor ( i think other smartwatch doesn't have this)
7. Capacitive sensor ( this one too, others doesn't have this feature)
8. Galvanic skin response
9. Microphone

Incredible right.. 9 sensors while other smartwatch usually only have acclerometer and microphone. and there are a few who have optical heart sensor and GPS.
