Track time, keep fit & look smart
[ad_1]
Whether you own several of them already or are stubbornly resisting getting one, a smartwatch can be a good investment in personal style, daily productivity and even your health. Choosing the best smartwatch, though, can be an ordeal because there are just so many options.
In this list of the best smartwatches to buy, I tried and tested a whole range of them, got feedback from veteran users, and did a lot of tapping and swiping on my wrist. I even had an out-loud phone conversation in a public space with my hand held up near my mouth (and will probably never do that again).
Below is an in-depth look at the specs for each model, a run-down of why you may consider it the best smartwatch, and some attractive online deals. As you go down the list, you’ll notice that the best specs don’t automatically make a particular model the best smartwatch— that’s because cost is one of our chief considerations in ranking them.
