The word 'Smartwatch' is an Anglicism that was taken directly from English. It is made up of 'smart' (intelligent) and 'watch' (Uhr).

The article is 'die' because the German base word is 'die Uhr' (the clock/watch). With many compound words, the last word determines the article.

Common verbs used with 'Smartwatch' are 'tragen' (to wear), 'den Akku laden' (to charge the battery), and 'mit dem Smartphone verbinden' (to connect with the smartphone).
Du musst deine Smartwatch erst mit dem Handy verbinden, um alle Funktionen zu nutzen.
You have to connect your smartwatch to your phone first in order to use all the functions.
When information is shown on the display, the preposition 'auf' (on) is used. For example, messages are displayed 'auf der Smartwatch' (on the smartwatch).

'Armbanduhr' and 'Smartwatch' both mean a watch that you wear on your wrist. The difference is in the functions. An 'Armbanduhr' mainly shows the time and can be analog or digital. A 'Smartwatch' is a special type of wristwatch with technology such as messages, calls, or fitness data. Learners may confuse the words because both are worn on the arm. If only showing the time is important, 'Armbanduhr' works well. If digital extra features are involved, 'Smartwatch' is more precise.
Meine Smartwatch zeigt mir beim Sport meinen Puls und neue Nachrichten an.
My smartwatch shows me my heart rate and new messages while I exercise.
