Not all wearables are worth buying, so we’ve assembled a list of the best smartwatches on the market you should consider.
If you want the best smartwatch, you’re looking for a real jack of all trades. You need a watch that’ll monitor your health, track your efforts when exercising, last for a long time between charges, have useful tools like flashlights and timers and, perhaps most importantly, come at a reasonably low price. Here at TechRadar Middle East, we’ve tested all the best smartwatches on the market, including offerings from all the biggest companies as well as up-and-comers and smaller names, allowing us to rank them definitively so you know which to consider. We’ve tried everything, from top-tier Apple Watches and Fitbits to Tizen-sporting Samsung watches. There’s also Wear OS, which is Google’s own wearable operating system in the vein of Apple’s watchOS and, spoiler alert, you’ll see it show up in a lot of these devices. If you’re buying the best smartwatch for you, it’s worth looking into getting the best phone for you too, as there’s sometimes added functionality depending on the handset you’ve got, though some smartwatches don’t even need a phone to connect to. You should note that certain smartwatches are limited in compatibility to certain phones. For example, you won’t be able to use an Apple Watch with one of the best Android phones. When we review each of the best smartwatches, we consider design, feature set, battery life, performance speed, fitness smarts, price and more, so whatever factor is important to a purchase, you can be sure we’ve considered it. The Apple Watch SE is the best smartwatch money can buy right now, but it’s only the right choice for you if you own an iPhone. Scroll down for our second choice in this list if you’ve got an Android phone. If you do have an iPhone, you may wonder why the Apple Watch 6 doesn’t take our title of the very best smartwatch? That’s because the Apple Watch SE does almost everything that smartwatch can, but for a much lower price. The Apple Watch SE comes with some top-end specs, a high-end design and a great range of features that you can’t get on every other smartwatch right now. The battery life isn’t the best on the market, and there isn’t an always-on display, but if you’re after a great value for money choice for your next wrist companion you should opt for the Apple Watch SE. Read the full Apple Watch SE review The best smartwatch money can buy right now if you own an Android phone is the Galaxy Watch 3 from Samsung. It also works with an iPhone though, and this is the company’s most accomplished wrist wear yet.
