FOR many people, smartwatches have become an essential accessory— they monitor your health, keep you on track for fitness goals and even let you make digital payments at the checkout and listen to music without your phone.
The right smartwatch can help you stay connected, informed
and on track for your fitness goals.
And there’s one for you out there -- from
budget watches, style-forward models, fitness-focused smartwatches, and more,
here are the 11 best smartwatches you can get right now.
1.Apple Watch Series 6
It’s something of a cliché to call the Apple Watch Series 6
the best Apple Watch yet— but if the price is no object, the Series 6 is a worthy
investment. It has all the great features from the Series 5, including the
always-on display, plus the all-new SpO2 blood-oxygen sensor. It also has faster
charging, which comes in handy for the new sleep tracking feature.
2. Samsung Galaxy Watch 3
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 3 has a lot to offer, including an
innovative rotating bezel to spin through apps, notifications, music, and more.
You can get there using the on-screen menus and runs with an excellent Tizen o/98perating system with a wealth of health and fitness features.
3. Motorola Moto 360
3rd Generation
The Moto 360 is the one you want if the style is your key
criteria. The classic round display with a stainless steel bezel, always-on
display, tasteful watch faces, and optional leather band make this watch look
good on any wrist. You can also opt for
a silicone strap that’s well-suited to exercise.
4. Kate Spade New York Scallop 2
What do you get when a major women’s fashion brand combines
fashion and tech? The “Scallop” is the answer, which makes sense as its most
noticeable feature is the sculpting around the watch face. It’s also one of the smallest and lightest
smartwatches you can find, weighing just 8 ounces. If you’re so inclined, you
can even use the “Choose Your Look” app to make the watch face match the color
of your outfit each day.
5. Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2
Clocking in at a budget price tag, this watch is exciting
because it gets the smart Tizen OS -- a great rotating bezel for quick access
to the watch’s major features, and even the same ECG, VO2 Max, and fall
detection. This is a superb health and fitness watch for Android owners. There’s
also menstrual tracking for those in need.
6. Apple Watch SE
If you’re shopping for an Apple Watch right now, you have
more choices than usual, since there’s a new flagship (the Series 6), a budget
model (the Series 3) and Apple Watch SE all available. For a mid-range price
tag, you get most of the features found in the iPhone Series 5 and Series 6 except
the always-on display, ECG and SpO2 sensors.
7. Fitbit Versa 3
A powerhouse fitness-focused smartwatch, Fitbit has exercise
and tracking down to a science. The Versa 3 has GPS on-board, besides the obligatory
heart rate tracking, sleep tracking, with waterproofing, you can take to the
shower or pool. Overall, it seems to do everything, from great battery life to
health, fitness, and notification duties.
8. Verizon GizmoWatch 2
Depending on the age of your child, you may want a kids’
smartwatch as a tracking device. This watch is relatively rugged and has an
IP67 rating. Your kids can make calls and text as well. Perhaps the most
important feature for parents is its tracking ability—you can see exactly
where your kid is anytime from a mobile app on your phone. You can also
geofence your kid and get alerts when he or she leaves the area you specified.
9. Garmin Vivoactive 4
If you are serious about your fitness routine and you are an
Android user, there may be no better watch than the Garmin Vivoactive 4. It’s
hard not to love the on-screen animated exercise demonstrations, including
Pilates and yoga routines. It also includes Garmin Pay (contactless payments
like Apple Pay or Android Pay).
10. AmazFit Bip S Smartwatch
There are budget smartwatches, and then there are budget
smartwatches. For well under US$100, the AmazFit Bip S is a stunningly good
value. It has all the most important features including heart rate monitoring, water-resistance up to 5 ATMs, built-in GPS, a slew of exercise tracking modes
and more. It does all this with impressive 40-day battery life, one of the
longest of any smartwatch.
