SMART WATCHES, BUT WHICH IS BEST FOR YOU

This guide is all about smart watches and what they offer for you.

With the rise of smartwatches, the tech industry brought all kinds of functionality to our wrists. We can stay in touch with people, pay for things, track our fitness activities, and a whole lot more without having to pull our phones from our pockets. The best technology enhances our lives without intruding too much, and smartwatches are a perfect example.

Smartwatches are still a very new thing to a lot of people and if you want the best smartwatch then you're looking for a real jack of all trades. The best smartwatches do more than let you know if you're getting a call or text message on your wrist. 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.

Several types of smart watches have emerged that focus on tracking physical activity. These smart watches have made a positive impact on physical activity of many people. Smart watches motivate their users to be active by sending them various reminders about daily exercise, goals the users could strive to achieve, and overall tracked progress that the users can view as motivation. Users can also receive rewards from goals that they hit each month, or challenges they can complete.

Some smart watches have gone beyond fitness tracking, and now have health features that can save your life. They can detect elevated heart rate alerts and automatically connect you to emergency services if you fall. Electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood oxygen (SpO2) readings are perks of certain models, too. The former detects signs of atrial fibrillation, while the latter is a good indicator of respiratory health.

But the best smartwatches do all these things better than others. Some have huge numbers of apps you can download, and some have batteries that will barely last a day, while others can go nearly a week on a charge. Of course, there's style and appearance, the best smartwatches can be customized, from their straps to their faces, to best fit with your personality.

There are so many great smartwatches to choose from right now but the best on paper may not be right for you. With options for sporty people, runners, the fashion-conscious and those on a tight budget, there's a lot to think about when buying a smartwatch.

Finding the best smartwatch is something of a balancing act. There are some smartwatches that will do most everything well, and there are others that will excel at a few specific tasks. Regardless of where your priorities lie, there are plenty of capable watches coming in at a range of price points and below is a list of the best latest smart watches that cover many different price range and functions.

HOW TO PICK THE BEST SMART WATCH FOR YOU

There are plenty of factors to consider when you're shopping for a smartwatch. Whether this is your first wearable or you've been around the block a time or two, you'll want to narrow down some key aspects before deciding. Everybody will be different when it comes to picking their type of smart watch as their needs will be different to the next person. Here are the main factors you should focus on:

• Size and design preferences

First and perhaps most importantly, you'll need to determine what size watch you're after. Smaller watches are often a bit cheaper than their larger counterparts, and some watches may be too large or small for your wrist. Of course, we can't forget about aesthetics. After all, you're still shopping for a watch, and it should be compatible with your style.

• Consider your must-have features

You'll also need to weigh the importance of features like GPS, fitness and sleep tracking, cellular connectivity, heart-rate monitoring, and mobile payments. Fortunately, it's not hard to find a watch that has a bit of everything these days.

• What about battery life

Some users can't stand the thought of having to take their watch off every 24 hours to charge it. Some models offer battery-saving modes that turn off certain features to prolong battery life. All watches will be different with some devices lasting five to seven days, but they usually have fewer features and lower-quality displays, and some fitness watches can last weeks on a single charge.

• Compatibility

Apple Watches only work with iPhones, while Wear OS devices play nice with iOS and Android. Smartwatches made by Samsung, Garmin, Fitbit and others are also compatible with both Android and iOS, but you’ll have to install a companion app. The smartwatch OS will also dictate the type and number of on-watch apps you’ll have access to. Many of these aren’t useful though, making this feature one that’s not too high on our requirements list.

• Price

When you’re shopping for anything, price is a major factor in whether or not you decide to make a purchase. You may need a little help making the final decision on what style and price point is right for you. The best smartwatches generally cost between £100 and £400. Compared to budget smartwatches, which cost between £30 and £100, these more expensive devices have advanced fitness, music and communications features. They will often also have perks like onboard GPS, music storage and NFC, which budget devices generally do not have.

Hopefully these pointers get you going towards choosing a good smartwatch. Hopefully the experience is fun and you take the next big jump into the future.
