That is why the smart watches are becoming more popular than other wearable gadgets. Despite of some initial failures and question over the success of smart watches, we have seen many brands taking initiative in introducing new smart watches in the recent years and surely we may expect the launch of few more best smart watches in upcoming years. The competition is definitely for being the best smart watches on the market as every brand is looking to establish their supremacy over others.
The best smartwatch for 2015 is still in the offing, but that doesn't mean there aren't good options to weigh down your early adopter wrists now. Dozens of choices are available. A third are made by startups like Pebble, a third from rebounding firms like Motorola, and a third are from Samsung alone... in the last 30 seconds. All of them deliver important information closer than "at hand," from texts messages to email alerts. Notifications and apps are the big difference between smartwatches and the best fitness trackers.
Yes, Apple Watch will likely change the face of digital wristwatches in the spring and Android Wear will continue to evolve new watches like LG G Watch R and ASUS ZenWatch. But, so far, here are the best smartwatches to strap to your naked wrist that, for more than a decade, has been relying on a mobile phone to check the time.
10. Samsung Gear S
The Gear S is definitely a premium-looking smartwatch if you don't mind how big it is. Instead of opting for a classic analog style like the Moto 360 or sporty analog look like the LG G Watch R, Samsung has made a rather futuristic beast, putting the Gear S in its own unique spot. The AMOLED screen is a thing of beauty and the Tizen OS runs surprisingly well. However apps are extremely limited at the moment.
You'll also need a compatible Samsung phone to use the watch. The calling and texting features the Gear S is most famous for also come at a high cost. You'd have to shell out the $350 (£329, AU$449) for the Gear S plus whatever price for a compatible smartphone - like $879 (£600, AU$960) for an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - then pay an extra data fee. Without the data plan, you're stuck with a huge, uncomfortable smartwatch which will run off of Wi-Fi. The Gear S made the list purely because it functions well enough for what it's made for and has loads of potential... but only if you're willing to pay the price.
9. Sony SmartWatch 2
Before there was Android Wear-touting Sony SmartWatch 3, the Sony SmartWatch 2 beamed all of the same important notifications to our wrists from Google-powered phones. Its 1.6-inch LCD handled is large enough to read all of our texts, email snippets and even Twitter feed without taking out the 5.2-inch Sony Xperia Z3.
Best of all, the very literally named Sony SmartWatch 2 is compatible with all Android phones that run Android 4.0 or greater - something we can't say about most Samsung smartwatches. To boot, it uses a normal micro USB charger, has an aluminum body and a variety of silicon or stainless steel straps, with third-party 24mm bands compatible.
8. LG G Watch
The LG G Watch was the very first Android Wear smartwatch we donned at Google IO 2014, and we continued to wear it for months even with its square-shaped design and plastic build. That's mostly because the battery life gave us a solid day and a half between charges. That made it easier to swipe through all of the contextual Google Now notifications, texts and email alerts beamed to our wrist. It also eased the battery usage of our Android-connected LG G3 because we could see these messages and the current time via the always-on display.
LG G Watch gave us the best insight into Android Wear in July, but it's very much a device for wearable diehards. It looks like a computerized plastic wristwatch and the default rubber strap is a dust collector. We're also not a fan of the the buttonless design and proprietary charging cradle to turn it back on. Of course, all of these faults have been corrected with the LG G Watch R, making this version the first edition of an Android smartwatch fit for early adopters.
7. Sony SmartBand Talk
The light frame makes the Sony SmartBand Talk very comfortable to wear day in, day out without discomfort. At $169.99 (£130, AU$199) you're paying a fair bit for technology that is less than cutting-edge. The price will probably drop before too long, though, which should make the Talk easier to recommend.
Fairly small, light and comfortable, the design isn't flashy but it works. You can also get more colourful straps, if the choice of a black or white watch just isn't jazzy enough for your tastes. It's the screen that you should really take note of though.
Unlike the LG G Watch and Moto 360, the Sony SmartBand Talk uses an e-ink display. It's just 1.4 inches across and offers a resolution of 296 x 128. You only get three days of battery life, at least from our testing. That's about the average of smartwatches with more intensive screens but maybe the SmartBand's tiny 70mAh just couldn't cut it.
6. Samsung Gear Live
Samsung recycled its boxy smartwatch design when it made the Samsung Gear Live, but that was enough to make it our favorite Android Wear watch early on. That's because it conformed to the wrist with curves lugs, making it better than the black slab that is the LG G Watch. Gear Live also sneaks in a so-so heart-rate monitor, a smaller (though still proprietary) travel charger and a 1.63-inch Super AMOLED display with a superior 320 x 320 resolution. Intelligent Google Now notifications made it worth owning over non-Android Wear watches if you couldn't wait for the more stylish Moto 360.
Of course, now that Motorola and LG's circular watches are out, it only serves as the boxy alternative if you have something against rocking the iconic round design of the Moto 360 and LG G Watch R. Samsung is known for outdating its own products with quick refreshes, but this may be its only Android Wear smartwatch until MWC 2015 in March. And even then, the South Korean electronics giant may stick to making Tizen watches like its Samsung Gear S.
5. Apple Watch
Apple iWatch is one of the most rumored smart watches so far. We came across many rumors over their design, features and releasing date. But finally Apple unveils its design in September 2014 but surprisingly the name is “Apple Watch” instead of being “Apple iWatch”.
Though quite late to join the game but with new Apple Watch, Apple has justified its name to bring innovation in tech world. Apple Watch has redefined the category of smart watches with its master piece that is very attractive in design. The Apple Watch comes in two sizes which may be configured using four different cases and six different bands -all these makes it the most customizable smart watch ever.
4. Moto 360
Motorola Moto 360 is another fantastic smart watch which is known for its excellent quality, attractive design and affordable price tag. It has a very attractive stainless steel design and powerful gorilla glass display.
3. Pebble Smartwatch
If you are impressed by the Pebble Steel smart watch’s powerful appearance but don’t like its traditional stainless steel, probably Pebble is the right choice for you as it has got even smarter with different colored non-metal designs. Though you won’t get powerful metal but you have independence to choose it in the color of your choice as it comes in five colors – Red, White, Black, Orange and Grey.
You may also download a huge number of apps from Pebble store right through your smart phone – including both iOS and Android users. With water-resistant feature and even cheaper price, Pebble is certainly the best budget smart watch that you could ever have.
2. Cookoo – Long Battery Life Smart Watch
Cookoo is another fantastic smart watch with stylish design. It has got a very beautiful appearance with its stylish round dial. Available on both operating systems – Android as well as iOS, you have 1000+ apps to install and run right through your smart phone.
Though Cookoo is comparatively new name in the smart watch market yet when it comes to water resistance and longer battery life, this is the name which is mostly cited all around among smart watch lovers.
1. Sony Smart Watch 3
While most other brands are gearing up to launch their first smart watch, isn’t it surprising that Sony is launching one after another smart watches without compromising over the quality as the users are getting exactly what they expect from a top quality brand like Sony.
Sony has launched Sony Smart Watch 3 with all features that you could wish to have as a smart watch buyer. The biggest strength of Sony’s smart watch 3 is its built-in GPS. It has also got USB charging port. The better looking transflective screens makes it even better than the preceding releases of Sony.
