Top 5 best smartwatches 2020
The best smartwatches in modern times are beyond the expansion of the smartphone; they are independent wear technology.
As the world's leading technology companies such as Apple, Google, and Samsung have worked to meet the needs of niche markets such as the fitness tracker, they have entered the arms race. Each generation of the smartwatch was suppos
ed to succeed not only in the past but also in the latest versions of its rivals.
This has created a thriving market place for smartwatch consumers, not only those on the mainstream market such as the Apple 5 or Samsung Galaxy but also other sports-related watches such as the Mobvoi TicWatch or the Fitbit Ionic.
The bad news, as in many other things in our consumer economy, is that the number of options can lead to overestimation.
My purpose in this article is to help you simplify your choices. Before learning more, ask yourself why the best smartwatch is needed. Counting speeds in the pool? Representatives in the gym? Happy to have a piece of the latest gear?
Then, as you read this article, you can measure each watch to see how it meets your needs. The final selection can be made by cost, brand, other features, etc.
In this article, I begged and borrowed as many watches as I could to try and compare them. I am sure that, after reading this, you will have the information you need to make the right choice. On Black Friday around the corner, there is no better time of the year to grab yourself a great piece of wearable technology.
Just a quick look at the top ten list, you can check out the table below. If you want to dig deeper, check out the reviews below and the buyer guide at the end.
1 Apple watch series
Apple's latest smartwatch is, without a doubt, the best smartwatch… for iPhone users. Because it won't work with an Android phone.
The only improvement that this watch has in addition to its previous version is its constant display. There are some other software and hardware upgrades, but from a user's point of view, this is the one you see most. This helps the watch to sound like a real clock and look like a new sports tracker.
If you have worn a smartwatch before, then you may have stopped noticing the time it takes for your watch to wake up after you light up your wrist. But as long as you wear a watch with a permanent display, you will see that something is missing.
I really appreciated this for two points in my day - when I was making a wood, and when I was walking with my bike trainer. These are both situations where I sometimes desperately want to see how long my time is, but I can't lift my wrist to use the clock.
For all apps except Workout, the clock will still be in sleep mode. The display will not display the app but instead, the default on the clock face indicating the time and, depending on the face of the clock face, other sensitive data. To me this was great, but if you were hoping to keep another app open without the clock going to sleep, then this might not be the right watch for you.
The only problem I had with the display was the dimmer, which wasn't dim enough. It has to adapt automatically, but it always shines brighter than my future (and my bright future, I promise).
So I ended up getting used to the cinema mode at night. I think Apple should have installed low light mode like regular wristwatches with light hands. It's easy to see, but it doesn't bother you. It may have led to longer battery life, too.
There’s a lot of hype surrounding the LTPO technology used in the Apple Watch 5. Apple says it’s the reason for the long battery life of the device. However, a little research shows that it is actually only a growing improvement from the OLED display to the Apple Watch 4.
Well, the new Watch 5 has a lot of new display drivers that make things work better, and the light sensor is better than its predecessor, but it's not something that could not be done on the Watch 4. held only 2019 to use it for marketing purposes which are expected to be improved in the previous version.
Among the new LTPO technology and new drivers and sensors, the clock can go from a refreshing 60Hz to 1Hz in just 1 second, creating efficient blurring and long battery life. The speed of the whole process won Apple's; some manufacturers find it difficult to make displays that can make those changes faster and stronger.
When it comes to exterior design, you don’t find a dynamic change in the Apple Watch 5. The models in the Apple Watch series are best known to all who look the same from one generation to the next - looks are part of their product.
The frame is the same aluminum curved. The display is square as before, and the digital crown, which you can use to scroll through the clock menus, has not changed. You can use the small button next to the digital crown to see the apps you recently opened and activate Apple Pay.
Speaking of durability features, the Apple Watch 5 has never experienced any improvements in its capabilities. Heart rate monitoring, accelerometer, and GPS are similar to those on the Apple Watch 4.
Another great elevation compass, which tells you where you are going and makes your height in line with GPS. This is a good feature for travelers, runners, or cyclists, or it can be used sparingly by other people.
One feature to note is the EKG monitoring that came out with Series 4 and is still in operation in Series 5. To find out more, read our review of the Apple Watch 4.
Apart from the fact that there are not many new features in the Apple Watch 5, there is still an amazing watch with all the functionality and the Watch 4. GPS is very accurate as well as a heart rate monitor.
When you swim, the clock will calculate the length and length with accuracy, or the clock may have a problem telling you exactly which strokes you are doing.
2 Samsung galaxy smartwatch
The Samsung Galaxy Watches series is another entry in our list with always an on option. This makes sense because its direct competitor is the Apple Watch5.
These are both great watches, and if you do not mind spending money and looking for a simple watch with a lot of apps, the real decision between the Samsung Galaxy and the Apple Watch 5 is which OS you need. Apple 5 for Apple users; Samsung does not
Another difference is style. when you need a watch for luxurious or fancy dinner parties, the Samsung Galaxy is probably the best watch on the global market. It seems that a collector shade can be kept in a box.
Its round, stainless steel case gives it a classic look, adding only its rotating bezel. These bezels were used by divers, pilots, and other professionals in ancient, analog clocks to determine the time. On the Samsung Galaxy, the bezels are cleverly designed to navigate menus.
This feature is more beneficial than it sounds at first glance. Samsung has redesigned a style from classic watches and provided a feature that allows users to interact more easily with their watch. Turn it over to see your notifications.
Rotate it for quick access to widgets. Combined with the physical button and touch screen, it is one of the most intuitive watches to use.
The Galaxy Watch Active 2 also has a version of a rotating bezel - although it is a virtual bezel it uses haptics to mimic the feel of a physical bezel.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch comes in 2 types of sizes. one 46mm version and another 42mm version. The 46mm variant has a silver and black theme while the 42mm version comes in Rose Gold or Midnight Black. Both are comfortable.
The larger version looks best on a larger wrist in more wear. The smaller version looks slimmer and more natural when worn with more activewear.
However, looking aside, it is an important technical component for different sizes. The larger, 46mm version has a larger screen and a battery life of more than 24 hours. Both of these are important components of wearable technology, and for this reason, we recommend the 46mm version.
Samsung watches - including the Galaxy - run on Tizen OS, which Samsung uses on its TVs (and other devices). As a multi-platform OS, Tizen's nature allows the Galaxy to rotate.
The 46mm version easily lasts 4 days (smaller, the 42mm version lasts 3 - which is even better). It's simple to use, retrieving information and messages, tracking workouts, and making heartfelt efforts to communicate with Bixby, a Samsung defective AI.
Like all great smartwatches, the Samsung Galaxy has fitness tracking capabilities, including a wide variety of sensors and Samsung Health apps. When you become very sedentary they will form a relationship with you and explore six different exercises (you can set it up to explore an additional 33 exercises). It has a sleep tracker and is waterproof up to a maximum depth of 50 meters.
Problems with this watch are mostly at the end of the software rather than the hardware. For starters, there are some frequently used, important, third-party apps, including Facebook Messenger, Google Maps, and WhatsApp.
Other issues include no fitness apps that come with the Wear OS, such as Google Health and others. The only apps you can get are the ones in the Tizen ecosystem, which are no different than Wear OS or iOS.
Even Bixby, who is a voice assistant, has nothing satisfying. It has problems understanding most voice commands, a problem that can be solved over time as the company upgrades its algorithms.
3 Fossil gen 5
Fossil has been in the watch-making business since 1984 and has developed a reputation for making great watches ... within their mid-price range. In his 35s, he saw in his "Fossil Swiss" line other purses, perfumes, handbags, and other fashion products such as purses and high-end watches.
fossil brand still focuses on mid-range priced watches
With its Gen 5 smartwatch, Fossil has kept those roots; According to this writing, the Fossil Gen 5 is $ 100 cheaper than the Apple Watch 5, and $ 50 cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy. Considering its price, features, and functionality, it is placed squarely in the center of the watch pack from the reviewer’s perspective.
However, this is a good watch that I think is the right choice for some users - especially users of Android devices. If you love your Android device and want very seamless communication between it and your watch, watch to get it. On display, you have seven options of bezel/band for a more athletic look, from classic stainless steel to black silicone. Fossil company is, focus on fashion, so their watches are fashionable accordingly - what you choose depends on your own look.
One problem I take with the fossil style is that it goes into function. Like previous generations of watches, their Gen 5 has three buttons that extend from the right side of the watch face. It may be unique to me, but when I stretch my wrist too far (especially wearing cycling gloves and walking tops), I can accidentally toggle the features of the watch.
The display is an AMOLED screen with a pixel density of 328 pp. It's fast enough to see, but it's unreadable in strong sunlight - you have to adjust the settings, which can be tricky when the screen is hard enough to see. Ho.
When navigating through the apps, you will still see a slight slowdown - but working the features of the clock is not frustrating or challenging.
In terms of battery life, the Fossil Gen 5 promotes "24+ hours" with "multi-day modes". In practice, this means that, in terms of settings, there can be a lot more options. There are "Daily" and "Extended" options, which are familiar to most technology users.
But there are also "custom" and "time only" options, which are not so bad. Until you find that each of these has 12 different settings. There are definitely tech ts enthusiasts who like to play with these settings and make the most of their batteries ... but most of us are better off with fewer options, and smart enough to give the watch the amount of confidence it gives us a functional look of smart life.
Built-in NFC, GPS, heart rate monitor, and speakers - the watch comes with the most authentic features of this generation. With the application of the cardiogram, the fossil states the ability to detect sleep apnea, diabetes, hypertension, and atrial fibrillation. The watch 3 is water-resistant to atmospheric pressures - it is also suitable for the shower, bath, or active swimming.
The basic app for fitness tracking is Google Fit, which works with both Android phones and Apple phones. It tracks your performance using heart points and trick minutes, which is great for those who don’t like to explore with so much technology on their smartwatch display.
If you want better, more comprehensive stats, you are always welcome to install third-party apps.
4 Mobvoi ticwatch pro
Mobvoi is a new entry into the field of ticwatch. To be completely honest, I didn’t hear the names of TicWatch or Mobwoi until last year. However, even though it is a brand new brand with new products, it has been able to gain its market share with attractive business strategy and sound designs.
Both the Mobvoi Ticwatch E and S were impressive, and now we have the Moboi Ticwatch Pro, the most premium product ever.
Mobvoi began creating artificial intelligence voice technology. They then expanded to include smart home devices and wearables, focusing on the underlined China market.
His main design philosophy is to minimize exterior designs and provide high-end specs on a budget. This is fair business.
But with Ticwatch Pro, they are offering high-end design with some really innovative features along with their general quality specs.
Like most smartwatches, there are no rotating bezels or crowns - most of your interactions come through the display or the two buttons of the watch. One of these acts as a home button, below is the program shortcut.
The performance of this watch was the first major innovation that Mobwoi brought into the market. It's not just a touchscreen, it's actually two screens combined in one screen face.
Top screen transparent LCD. This is the screen used in low-power or "required" mode. Data such as time and date, step count, and heart rate are displayed on a low-power screen that is still visible in direct sunlight.
This is the type of touchscreen used by most smartwatches under the LCD display.
The combination of these intelligent screens is the reason for the second innovative feature of the Tickwatch Pro - the battery life can be measured in days rather than hours. Putting the watch in essential mode (it does it itself when the battery is very low) means the watch uses very little juice.
This gives you limited access to other features of the smartwatch but also allows you to use the watch for a while without even thinking about recharging.
In terms of looks, Mobvoi has boosted its game here, but they are still not competing with Fossil, Samsung, or Apple. The Tikwatch Pro has a rounded face, and the bezel is marked within 5 minutes - at a glance, it looks like a high-end watch. But a closer look reveals what it is - mediocre.
On the wrist, it feels a little thicker and heavier, but not uncomfortable. there are 8 different options for straps, from colored silicone to brown leather. More interestingly, there are also options for silicone and leather strap straps.
The biggest problem with this watch is that it is not as user friendly as other watches. For starters, the LTE version has not yet been introduced. It uses the Wear OS, but everyone needs to download the Mobvoi app to work.
Not only does the MoboVoi app not have its own, but other important functions like the phone app also are not as good as you find on other smartwatches.
Ticwatch Pro's fitness tracking function is good and it works well for most users. Mobvoi advises not to get more wet than a hot bath, as long as the watch is waterproof - unless customers want to swim.
If fitness tracking is high on your list of needs in smartwatches, others on our list are more accurate and a better choice.
5 Fitbit versa 2
Google attributes the purchase of Fitbit to Versa 2 of Fitbit. Because with this watch, Fitbit has come closer than its competitor to match the style and functionality of the Apple Watch series that has long maintained its dominance in the smartwatch market.
The first iteration of the series, the Fitbit Versa, targets consumers who want a fitness watch with some of the functions of a smartwatch. They wanted to receive and respond to information, without being distracted by what hundreds of apps bring.
With the Versa 2, Fitbit has pushed this model into the smartwatch market - yet it is a fitness-focused accessory.
In terms of style, regular users will be forgiven for misusing the Versa 2 for the Apple Watch. Versa 2, which still focuses on fitness tracking, consists mostly of silicone (sweat-absorbing) bands and does not offer a higher level of bandwidth, such as the fossil line.
However, the real difference between Versa 2 and the Apple Watch 5 is that the former is more square and the latter more rectangular.
The original Fitbit bit version has 3 buttons. Versa 2 has only one, you can use it as a back button and select button. So you do not have to press more than 2 to get the feature you want to access. There are other things you can do on the touchscreen.
The screen is a big improvement over its predecessor. In Versa, this is the LCD display. However, the Versa 2 has a Gorilla Glass 3 protected AMOLED touchscreen - always with the option on.
Leaving this feature on the battery flows twice as fast, which is a great option when I am working and I want to see how long I can do without lifting my wrist on a plank (e.g. left) to activate the clock.
Versa 2 also has an advanced processor that not only allows the smartwatch to perform more functions - including more functionality with apps - but also to easily navigate between them.
Since Fitbit first sees itself as a fitness tracker, battery life is one of the most important features. This is because most watches only need one day before they are charged - which means they cannot track sleep. However, sleep tracking is one of Fitbit's selling points, and Versa 2 is not disappointing.
Not only is its sensor accurate, but its battery also lasts up to 5 days.
To access the App Launcher, swipe from left to right on the screen. Each page has 4 application shortcuts, which you can rearrange as you wish; All you have to do is lightly tap on the screen until you get haptic feedback. If you want to see the day's data, you can swipe and Fitbit will be enabled today.
It includes seven factors such as hour phase, total phase, sleep statistics, heart rate, and water, and food intake.
If you swipe down, you will have access to notifications and quick settings, Fitbit pay, and music control.
While the Versa is a smart enough watch and excellent fitness tracker, many of its best features are now behind the Powell. For example, there are essentially two versions of Sleep Tracker - paid and unpaid. The unpaid version takes into account your sleep habits and gives you a score.
Anyone struggling with poor sleep was recorded over a period of days or weeks to monitor their sleep habits and see the effect of any changes in their daily routine.
However, the paid version not only monitors their sleep but also shows them the volatility and total sleep duration, as well as the REM duration. It shows heart rate fluctuations, deep sleep, and light sleep and compares their sleep over the last 30 days.
The Fitbit premium costs just 99.9999 per month (according to this writing, it was pre-purchased by Google). For some, it will be a deal-breaker. However, the watch is mathematically complicated with a low sticker price - 30 230 less than the Apple Watch 5 (according to this writing).
Fitbit works with Versa 2 iPhones - however, iPhone users will benefit from the smooth integration of apps between their phones and Apple Watch, making Versa 2 a less attractive choice for Apple users.
However, with a lower price sticker than the Galaxy series, the Versa 2 is a real competitor in the Android market, especially for consumers who want a fitness-focused accessory.
