Top Smartwatches 2023

If you're in the market for a cheap fitness tracker, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6 is well worth adding to your shortlist. It might look unassuming at first glance, but it boasts some impressive features you'd expect to find in a much more expensive device (such as all-day stress tracking and a pulse oximeter), and its screen is exceptionally bright, vivid and responsive. When it comes to workouts, we found its connected GPS disappointing, and the band wasn't always particularly comfortable, but for casual use it's a great alternative to a Fitbit that offers a lot more than you might expect.

The stylish Polar Ignite 2 fitness watch tracks your activities, heart rate, sleep, recovery, and offers personalized daily workout guidance to help you train smarter.

Samsung’s latest smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch Active 2, is similar to the Galaxy Watch Active that came out earlier this year. But it has the crucial circular control bezel that the prior model lacked, and it’s perhaps the best smartwatch you can get for an Android phone right now.

The Garmin Vivoactive 3 is an attractive, durable wearable that hits the sweet spot between fitness tracker and smartwatch functionality.

Samsung's Galaxy Watch 6 offsets its unimpressive battery life with striking display upgrades to remain the best Android-compatible smartwatch.

The square Garmin Venu Sq 2 is a comfortable GPS-connected smartwatch with long battery life and all the best health and fitness features of the circular Venu 2 for a more affordable price.

The rugged Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro doubles the battery life of the standard model and adds exclusive outdoor adventure features, including turn-by-turn cycling and hiking directions, for $170 more.

With a unique design and familiar Wear OS and Fitbit features, Google's Pixel Watch is one of the best Android-compatible smartwatches you can buy.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic smartwatch offers the same improved display and middling battery life of its more affordable sibling, but in a deluxe design that brings back the beloved rotating bezel.

A solid and aesthetically pleasing new entry from Amazfit. The GTS 4 Mini isn’t the most accurate tracker I’ve used, but does well enough for most people’s general needs. It’s limited as a smartwatch, but as a classy looking tracker you can’t go wrong for the price.
