In all my years of reviewing smartwatches, 2024 was perhaps the biggest year, with tons of great smartwatches released, including some new disruptive brands and entirely new categories of smartwatches. All of these new watches make it tough to choose the right one, and if you choose the wrong one, you could be missing out on some incredible new features or just paying more than you should for a good watch.

I bought samsung 7 lte for 170USD(15k ir), I was thinking best investment till I found it has some features locked for samsung phones only and my sim provider doesn’t support lte in prepaid 😅😂
Sould have bought oneplus 3 instead
For me is my Apple Watch series 10 and my mi band 9. Those two have worked really well with me. Use the Apple Watch while I’m at work and the mi band for tracking my sleep and weekends only😊
You don’t need an alway on display 🙄
Yeah but Fitbit sucks AND it requires a subscription. I don’t know if battery life has improved in the 4, but all previous pixel watches have shit battery life. Ah also it has very few free watch faces with little customization. Thumbs down for me.
