Summary

While you're wearing a connected watch, you can leave your phone in your pocket and just check your wrist for urgent notifications.Smartwatches had a rough start. It competes with the Apple Watch on several fronts, like activity tracking and heart rate monitoring, but it's more affordable. (The whole watch looks pretty, I might add!) You can check and respond to notifications, stream audio from Spotify, make contactless payments, track swimming sessions and sleep (a feature missing on Apple's watch)—all with a battery that lasts two to three days. There is a seemingly endless amount of watches running this operating system, from brands as varied as Puma to Michael Kors, but this one from Fossil is the model to buy.It's powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset, which isn't as powerful as I'd like, but since the chip is paired with 1 GB of RAM, the watch feels a lot less painful to use than other Wear OS watches. Like the Fossil watch, you can see and respond to notifications, track your heart rate, talk to Google Assistant, and customize the buttons to open apps, which you can download straight from the watch through the Google Play Store. It's a fitness tracker that doesn't look like one, but it also has a feature only two other watches on this list have at the moment: an electrocardiogram.Like the Apple Watch, you can measure your heart's electrical signals and check for atrial fibrillation and irregular heartbeats, which could be a sign of other health conditions that require your attention. It can track sleep too—though as reviewer Adrienne So says in her review, it's not as accurate as other sleep trackers that use an optical heart rate monitor.If you don't want to wait for the ECG, the perfectly-capable Withings Move is also available right now in the US for a mere $70.For the longest time, I stuck to simple, minimalist timepieces like the one from Instrmnt. There are app notifications, movement reminders, automatic exercise tracking, as well as menstrual, sleep, and swim tracking.As reviewer Adrienne So says in her Versa Lite review (8/10 WIRED Recommends), the heart-rate tracking is precise, and the battery lasts four to five days between charges, which is much more than most smartwatches.
