So you might have heard of this smartwatch before. However, it just can’t go without being mentioned in the best smartwatches list! Honestly, it’s pricey… and the features are not that much more extensive than the ones listed above. The Apple Watch is totally waterproof, tracks your steps, heart rate, receives texts, makes calls… all that fun stuff. It’s really just a cell phone, but on your wrist.
The Gear S3 takes up the smartwatch game just a touch (ha, get it?) from the Gear S2. The S3 allows you to use smart pay, receive calls and texts, use a GPS, and send e-mails, all from your wrist. Not to mention, the charge lasts for literally days.

A fashionable yet functional watch, the Marc Jacobs hybrid does much more than just tell time. This watch tracks and monitors your sleep, connects to your smartphone for music and notifications, oh, and never needs charging.
Okay, so this isn’t exactly a watch… it’s a ring, to be exact. However, this had to go on the best smartwatches list because the idea behind it is so cool. Basically, it’s a ring that tracks your calories, distance, sleep, steps, resting heart rate, and more! If you’re not a fan of watches but love the information they provide, this may be your best bet!
Using an android based operating system, this Huawei watch is a great workout companion. Not only does it have a built-in GPS to track your movements as well as your heart rate, it tracks how long you sleep too. In addition, you get basic notifications sent straight to your watch! If you’re an Android fan, this smartwatch is for you.
This is easily one of the best smartwatches for women. Not only is it visually pleasing, but it offers all the features above (minus the water resistance). If you’re looking for a smartwatch for a woman in your life, don’t pass up on this one!
If you want to keep it simple, then the Fitbit flex is just about as basic as you can get. Not only is it affordable, but it tracks your steps, distance, and calories burned! It’s water resistant, so don’t take it swimming.
This small watch is yet another basic design. Sticking to its core values, the fit2 tracks your heart rate, steps, sleep, and lets you play some music to top it off! It’s affordable, and another simple option to those who want it!
