The Fitbit Sense has a design that's quite similar to the Versa, listed higher on this list, and as a Fitbit it's also quite similar to use. However, this Android smartwatch model comes wtih health features that go beyond the physical. It could still offer better battery life (despite surpassing the regular Apple Watch) but a powerful and accurate GPS is great for exploring, especially with watchOS 10's improved hiking waypoints feature, plus it's a working dive computer with the Oceanic Plus app. The ScanWatch is a fine example of a good-looking hybrid that still offers powerful features – with ECG, blood oxygen estimates and advanced sleep monitoring all coming alongside a 30-day battery life.

We weren't overly impressed by the accuracy of data in our testing, but we do still think there's value here for those who truly just want basic smarts - namely, notifications in a very stylish-looking watch. The Guess Connect's best function is its voice-control feature, which can activate Siri or Google Now. As we say, there's also a heart rate monitor on board to continuously keep a tab on your heart rate throughout the day, as well as during your workouts. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the ultimate Apple Watch with the smartwatch world's best screen ever, with its sumptuous Retina Display OLED commanding up to 3,000 nits of brightness. It's bigger and bulkier, than the standard Apple Watch, and has a faster S9 processor, enabling that excellent Double Tap gesture available on the Series 9 below. In all other respects, it's identical to its predecessor, the original Apple Watch Ultra. You pay a lot, but in return, you're getting on-trend looks, sapphire crystal protecting the watch face, and Italian leather straps. All models are water resistant for up to 100 meters, though you're more likely to jump in the shower with them than go for a swim.Using that knowledge we've then ranked them, while also factoring in their price, performance, value, and core specs. Latest updates Our review process involves using the devices as if they were our own personal wearables, ensuring every smartwatch gets fully tested in the real world. A comprehensive sweep of features takes place, and usage is varied over multiple days to give us a clear idea of how battery life performs. Press the lower knob on the side to dismiss the notification. Tapping on the glass display is supposed to bring up all your alerts if you do it within a minute of receiving a notification, but it didn't work for me. Martian said this might be due to a glitch in our review unit.

You can expect 25 days of battery life with normal use, and another 20 in power reserve mode. Fossil Gen 6 Hybrid Frederique Constant is one luxury Swiss watchmaker that hasn't been afraid to embrace the smartwatch age. It offered discreet smarts on its Hybrid Manufacture and Horological hybrids and with its Gents Vitality range, it's made room for more connected features. It isn’t always clear how to access features – although the general rule is that the top button acts as a confirm, while the bottom one declines or cycles through to a different option – and those who are coming from a fully fledged smartwatch will find that not having a full-face touchscreen makes everything less intuitive to use, at least at first. Notifications A Find Phone function helps locate your misplaced phone, as long as it's within Bluetooth range of the Connect. When launched, Find Phone makes your phone play a loud ring tone.

Overall, the app's interface is straightforward. I especially like that it includes a user manual in the Settings section. Battery Life: Just Two Days There's an optical heart rate monitor and ECG sensor to help detect signs of arrhythmia, and you're also getting a SpO2 sensor to measure blood oxygen levels and monitor breathing during sleep. The charger has a charging speed, works well it does the job and has a wireless design. Further, this lost the original, is made for the bottom line, it works as intended and has good design. Lastly, the oriflame guess smartwatch charger is good for fast charging speed, is portable, it works very well and has a cradle design. When you’ve connected the watch to the app, you’ll be able to control the number of notifications you’ll receive on your wrist. You can personalise the vibration patterns for each one and add more options if you require them. The Withings ScanWatch Horizon is essentially a version of the ScanWatch with a more formal-friendly look that houses all of the same features as the cheaper version.

We're fans of all the styles, as they offer largely the same on-screen experience - it's just a case of how much you're willing to spend and what fits your wrist best.

With such great possibilities from this Guess watch you'll truly be dazzled by what it can do. As well as the aforementioned functions it also comes with music control, so you can change whatever song or content you're listening to from your watch rather than your phone. It's easy to connect it with Android or iOS phones. It connects with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and has a pretty impressive battery life. With saver mode on the battery could last for up to 25 days. Striking and Stylish Alerts are the Guess Connect's bread and butter, as with all Martian powered watches, but we found the connectivity and reliability here to be a bit of a pain. We dropped our Bluetooth connection a couple of times and also had some trouble dismissing WhatsApp messages. Seriously, they wouldn't leave us alone, even though we were pressing the correct button - the 'down' or power button. Tapping on the watch glass to see our latest notification also didn't work every time. Disappointing. It works with Android and iOS devices with the Skagen companion app letting you assign shortcut features to the pushers that sit above and below the crown. They can also be used to scroll through messages. It isn’t only notifications that you can view with the Guess Connect. You can take calls by pressing the top button on the watch; the Guess Connect has a speaker built into the right-hand side and a microphone on the left. I still can’t see who’d want to take a phone call in this way in public, but it’s handy to use around the house. Each model will also last around two weeks on a single charge, too, so it'll go longer than most 'proper' smartwatches.
