10 Best Smartwatches to Buy in 2021 – Features and Assistances

A smartwatch could not replace your smartphone. In contrast, it is more of a smartphone accessory these days. With tiny screens and apps that you use every day, it indeed makes up for being a watch. If you are adamant on buying a smartwatch this year, here are the 10 Best Smartwatches to Buy in 2021 with detail specification and details on them.

Watches came into existence in the 15th Century, and the infamous Wristwatches followed in the 18th Century. As technology advances, digital watches and calculator watches have entered the global market and become a part of our daily lives. The Revolutionary discovery by Steve Mann in 1998 gave us the Smartwatches we use today.

Smartwatches don't have LTE, implying they can't receive calls or texts when not tethered to your smartphone or connected to wi-fi. However, they do have some lofty advantages like it shows who has messaged you or who's calling you without forcing you to look at your phone. The star feature to them is the dedicated fitness tracker, and you're bound to find something that suits you, no matter your smartphone model.

All smartwatches fall between a fitness tracker and something that carries smartphone notifications to your wrist. However, some can work untethered, entirely autonomously from a smartphone, all while your smartphone is miles away. There are also hybrid smartwatches, created by automated watch companies like Fossil, Tag Heuer, and Withings, with traditional watch battery life and sensors to track your movements.

Apple Series 6 smartwatches are the most compatible for iPhone users who want the best out of iOS software. It comes in more premium finishes, including stainless steel and titanium. It's the only current Apple Watch model with an always-on display since the series 5 was discontinued. Most people will notice the most significant difference when compared against other Apple Watch models, like SE and Series 3. With unique features like GPS-only, blood oxygen sensor, an electrical heart sensor (ECG) and more, the Apple Series 6 is indeed the top contender.

Without a doubt, Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 is one of the best-looking smartwatches from our list. It's dainty, expansive and has a beautiful and bright always-on OLED display. In contrast to its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch Active version 2 has a touch-sensitive bezel smooth while using. It has a battery life of 18 hours and runs with Spotify Offline. It also has sleep-tracking features that Apple watches lack. It works best with Samsung smartphones, and even with other android phones.

Well-known as the Best Budget Apple watch, the Apple Watch SE is suitable for most people as it combines most of the Series 6 features. The notable tradeoff is that the Apple Watch SE doesn't have an always-on display, the blood oxygen sensor or the electrical heart sensor (so it's not capable of taking an ECG). Apple Watch SE comes in a single aluminium finish. However, it has an optical heart sensor so it can still record the heart rate.

The Galaxy Watch 3 is the star product for Samsung Smartwatches more advanced than Samsung's smartwatch. While it is a bit expensive compared to the other models, the extra dough gets you a physical rotating bezel. With a premium titanium finish, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 is for people you love spending on watches. The flagship device is equipped more towards Samsung Galaxy smartphone users who want a more solid smartwatch replicating Swiss-made finish.

Launched in 2020, the Fitbit Versa 3 is an excellent entry-level smartwatch for iPhone and Android users alike. It is a considerable upgrade compared to Versa 2 primarily because it has a built-in GPS and more reliable heart tracker. Moreover, it has a built-in speaker and microphone, which the previous model lacked. You can use Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa all on your smartwatch's screen. With the reduced price of the Apple Watch Series 3, it's rather tough to suggest the Versa 3 to iPhone users.

Fitbit Sense succeeds the Ionic as Fitbit's brand-new flagship smartwatch. The Fitbit Sense is very much like Versa 3, with significant differences being health/wellness associated. Unlike the Versa 3, the Sense has three brand-new sensors:

• ECG - To potentially give you early detection of atrial fibrillation
• EDA - That detect stress
• Skin temperature sensor - to provide you with early indications for fever or other illness

Overall, the Fitbit Sense is an excellent third-party smartwatch for users who want a lot of wellness data, but it's expensive considering how alike it is to the Versa 3.

The Fitbit Ionic Fitness Tracker has an unusual appearance compared to Sense or Versa 3. However, the design gives it an edgy look. The feature includes a GPS with fitness guidance, 24/7 heart rate, health and wellness insights, on-screen workouts, phone-free music, payments and more. The redesigned touchscreen keeps the graphic crispy and clear, and you can also swap the bands to your liking.

Google recently acquired Fossil's smartwatch tech, creating Fossil Sport a little more intriguing than any other Wear OS watches on the market. It is compatible with iOS and Android phones and is one of the most beautiful looking watches by Fossil. The heart rate monitor and other features supported by the smartwatch is accurate and helps deliver excellent results. It's designed to enhance performance and extend battery life, both of which are issues faced with previous Wear OS devices.

The Withings Activite steel is a beaming watch merging time and activity tracking. It tracks your activity level and keeps you in the know with clear analogue feedback. Activité Steel is a passive smartwatch as the smartest thing it can do apart from tracking your daily movement is give you silent alarms. You’ll need to set them from within the Withings app.

Garmin’s Forerunner 945 extends the same fitness-focused features as the company’s even higher-end Fenix line of smartwatches. It is compatible with third-party products and apps, such as Final Surge and TrainingPeaks. Garmin partnered with Firstbeat, a company that studies physiology and heartbeat analytics to allow in-depth insights from your workout. Compared to its predecessor, Garmin Forerunner 935, it has a bigger battery, built-in storage to hold 1,000 songs, and supports full-colour maps.
