In mankind’s quest to make everything ‘smart’, it was just a matter of time before the humble wristwatch got the smart treatment. These handy little devices do more than just tell you the time. They can display notifications, let you answer calls, respond to texts and more. They may also feature an app store, where you can download apps specifically designed to be used on a tiny touch display. However, the line between fitness trackers and wearables are getting blurred and not all smart wearables are smartwatches. Some, if not most of these smart wearables have limited functionality, but do offer some basic smart features like notifications and weather updates. However, if you want the full-blown smartwatch experience, then you should take a look at these devices. Although the prices of the products mentioned in the list given below have been updated as of 22nd Jun 2021, the list itself may have changed since it was last published due to the launch of new products in the market since then.
There are hundreds of smartwatches out there, but none that offer the premium and polished experience of the Apple Watch Series 6. Series 6 now also offers an on-board SpO2 sensor, a super bright always-on display and fast charging.
