The Coolest Smartwatches To Buy This Year
The coolest smartwatches have a few things in common: they are reliable, have a good Operating System, and offer plenty of versatility. When it comes to the latter, smartwatches should be able to track your heart rate and let you monitor your health, track where you are with GPS, and use your voice to search the Internet.
Even though some smartwatches can fully function without need of a smartphone, most watches still need to be paired to a decent smartphone for the user to make the most of them.
There are plenty of smartwatches in the market today. However, not all of them are worth the cost. So, we have listed below some of the coolest smartwatches you can buy this holiday season.

Fitbit Versa 3
The Fitbit Versa 3 is one of the best smartwatches not from Apple or Samsung. It is also one of the best watches for users who are focused on becoming or keeping fit. The watch is comfortable to wear, it has a built-in GPS, and the display provides a crisp image which makes it easy to view the display.
At around $200, it’s one of the more affordable smartwatches you can buy. The only significant issue with the watch is that its side button is not the best. But other than that, it’s a great option, especially for fitness enthusiasts.
Fossil Sport
The Fossil Sport is one of the sportiest-looking smartwatches today. And at just under $200, it’s also a bargain. The watch comes with a lightweight design, it’s powered by the Snapdragon Wear 3100 chip, and it has GPS. It runs the Google Wear OS, and has numerous watch faces to choose along with apps. When it comes to the OS, the Fossil Sport might actually be better than Samsung smartwatches. In terms of battery life, the watch can last up to two days, which is not bad.
The Fossil Sport doesn’t have any unique or outlandish features. However, it’s a decent and capable device that nails all the basics.
TAG Heuer Connected
TAG Heuer is known for its premium watches. So, it’s a sigh of relief that the brand’s latest attempt at a smartwatch is actually good. TAG Heuer Connected is a great-looking watch. It resembles a mechanical watch, with its sporty case and its round display.
The Connected doesn’t just look good, though. It also has a built-in heart-rate sensor, a GPS and enhanced sports tracking. As a premium smartwatch brand, the only competition it faces is the Apple Watch. However, TAG Heuer has the advantage of looking more like an actual mechanical watch.
Apple Watch Series 6
The Apple Watch is probably the best smartwatch of any kind you can buy today. Its safety features are unparalleled, for one. The watch constantly monitors your heart rate, and if it detects anything irregular, it will recommend you see a doctor. If you collapse, it can even alert the emergency services for you. Potentially life-saving features like these are a major part of why the Apple Watch is such a hit with both users and critics.
Other than health, The Apple Watch Series 6 also has a stellar design, GPS, waterproofing, increased customization options compared to its predecessors, and more.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 is among the best smartwatches for Android users. It has the best features of the Samsung Galaxy Watch but compressed into a lighter and smaller form factor that’s more comfortable.
The watch has a 1.2-inch 360 x 360 display that’s small enough not to feel overbearing, yet it’s still bright and beautiful. It has the Galaxy Watch’s essential features, like a heart rate and ECG sensor, a health app that monitors sleep and stress, 39 workout modes, and a way to monitor the user’s blood pressure.
It’s more affordable than both the Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch 3, but doesn’t sacrifice too many features to make it feel like a downgrade.
