The Apple Watch Series 7 improves upon the excellent health features of its predecessors and comes with a lavish new display. I'm PCMag's expert on fitness and smart home technology, and I've written more than 6,000 articles and reviews in the 10-plus years I've been here. I unbox, set up, test, and review a wide range of consumer tech products from my home in Florida, often with the help of my pitbull Bradley. I'm also a yoga instructor, and have been actively teaching group and private classes for nearly a decade. I’m PCMag’s executive editor of reviews, steering our coverage to make Soundbar sure we're testing the products you're interested in buying and telling you whether they're worth it. I previously managed the consumer electronics reviews team, and before that I covered mobile, smart home, and wearable technology for PCMag and Gigaom.
- The unique dual-layer display helps extend battery life, which is a nice bonus.
- First and foremost, you want to make sure that the smartwatch you buy can integrate with your smartphone and the apps you already have.
- It is also built with NFC that allows you to use Android Pay directly from your wrist.
- The data shown is comprehensive, ranging from calories burned and time elapsed, to peak training effect and recovery time.
- With all these features, Garmin promises that D2 Delta PX can last up to 20 days when in smartwatch mode only and up to 18 hours when using GPS and Pulse Ox Sensor.
This list is different, here we skip those astronomically priced smartwatches and focus on high-end watches we think are worth seriously considering. The Apple Watch SE is a hybrid of the Apple Watch Series 5 and the Apple Watch Series 3. The $279 smartwatch doesn't have all the Series 6's features, but still stands out for its speedy chip and safety features. It also offers an LTE option, making it a good choice for those interested in trying out Family Setup. Fitbit is still the king of fitness trackers — and the Versa 2 has made them a contender in the smartwatch market, too. We investigate a watch’s different fitness-tracking features, such as GPS functionality, step counting, and exercise recognition.
Best Smartwatch With Mechanical Watch Looks
If you're looking for the best smartwatch for women, you might prefer something more subtle like the Fitbit Versa 3 or Garmin Vivomove Sport. The good news about wearing a smartwatch in 2022 is that there are tons of options on the Wear OS side. If that's not quite your speed, you also have some fantastic options from other leading companies such as Samsung, Fitbit, and Garmin. If this has been a thorn in your side, you'll be pleased to learn that the Fossil Gen 6 lineup is here to change that. Most importantly, this Fossil smartwatch launches with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4100+ chipset that remedies many previous problems that users often experienced.

We look at the different customizations offered to determine how versatile a watch is. Clearer “first-time user” instructions would have been appreciated. Because I suffer from allergies, air purifiers are essential.
Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic
This won't stop any smartwatch from working, but it does mean you should think carefully about buying a model with the new software if you plan to keep it for several years. Google and Samsung teamed up to create a software operating system for wearables, called Wear, also referred to as Wear OS 3. The joint project incorporates both the Wear OS and Tizen platforms, along with fitness expertise from Fitbit. The first smartwatches with the software are the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. The GBD-200 uses a single internal battery which should last for about a year before it needs replacing — if you use the Bluetooth connection all the time and track an hour of activity each day. It gets the balance between design and technology just right and is a great choice for a hybrid smartwatch.
