Best smartwatches you can buy right now

1. Apple Watch SE

The Apple Watch SE is the best smartwatch money can buy right now, but it's only the right choice for you if you own an iPhone. If you do have an iPhone, you may wonder why the Apple Watch 6 doesn't take our title of the very best smartwatch? That's because the Apple Watch SE does almost everything that smartwatch can, but for a much lower price.

The Apple Watch SE comes with a high-end design and a great range of features that you can't get on every other smartwatch right now. The battery life isn't the best on the market based on our tests, and there isn't an always-on display, but if you're after a great value for money choice for your next wrist companion you should opt for the Apple Watch SE.

2. Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is a wearable that had a lot of publicity around it. This sees Samsung return to Wear OS, having used Tizen for recent models. But this isn’t Wear OS as you might know it-it’s a new take on the operating system, designed alongside Samsung, and with a very Tizen-like skin on the top.

Add to that great performance, what we found to be a comfortable fit, a lightweight build, and interesting new body composition measurement tools, and this makes for a top smartwatch, especially for those interested in tracking their health and fitness.

But with some of its features requiring a Samsung phone, and no support for iPhones, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 isn’t something we can recommend to everyone. It also arguably isn’t worth upgrading to if you already own a recent Galaxy Watch.

3. Apple Watch 6

The Apple Watch 6 hasn't taken the top spot in our best smartwatch list, but this is the absolute best device you can get if you own an iPhone. Why isn't it ranked above the Apple Watch SE? Because it's a lot more expensive than that option.

It isn't a huge upgrade over the Apple Watch 5 though. There are new features like blood oxygen monitoring and an upgraded chipset, but largely it's a similar device with the exact same screen and design.

That said, if you're after an Apple Watch this is the best from the company ever, we just found the lack of any major upgrades a slight disappointment.
