They all do some form of health tracking.  Mine (Series 5) has a heart rate
monitor, ECG, step counting.  Newer versions also have blood oxygen sensors as
well.

They also have "Fall Detection" so if you fall & pass out it can automatically
call emergency services.  It can also warn you if you're around loud noises
too long which could damage hearing.  There also mindfulness reminders and of
course the sleep tracking.

On top of that, I have my debit & credit card on my watch so I can just tap
that to pay for things.  All-in-all a pretty handy device.
