Why it’s a top pick:
At a more reasonable cost, the Galaxy Watch FE offers much of the sophisticated fitness capabilities of the Galaxy Watch 7 along with the normal range of Wear OS apps and intelligence. Apart from advanced outdoor running statistics like asymmetry and vertical oscillation, it tracks a broad spectrum of exercises and precisely measures heart rate, speed, and VO2 Max. It tracks sleep, even snoring, and you can use it to calculate your body fat percentage like a smart scale. That is to say, in terms of health tracking, it is still ahead of the curve of Wear OS rivals and so provides the greatest value for your money of any choice on this list. For an additional $100, the Galaxy Watch 7 offers a bigger display, sleep apnea detection, and artificial intelligence health insights among other benefits.
Pros:

Why it’s a top pick:
With a longer battery life than the first model and extra health features, Google's Pixel Watch has entered its second version. From an aesthetic standpoint, it's a breath of fresh air with a domed face resembling a puddle of water on your wrist. From the software perspective, it adds a lot of Fitbit functionality to Wear OS (some measurements, such sleep stage data, need a Premium subscription). It also has all the preinstalled lifestyle and fitness elements you'd expect from a premium smartwatch. Access to the Play Store also lets you tailor the experience via several third-party applications.
Pros:
- Improved battery life over previous version
- More Fitbit health and fitness features
- Responsive performance
- IP68 rating
- 100% recycled metal casing

Among the improvements over its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch 7 offers a complete Energy Score and Wellness Tips filled by Galaxy AI, sleep apnea detection, dual-frequency GPS, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) index tracking for a thorough view of your metabolism. To start an app, snap a photo, or mute an alarm, you use gesture such as finger tapping or wrist rotating.

Why it’s a top pick:
Fast, tactile navigation on the Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 5 is provided by a spinning crown. Without turning on the battery-draining AMOLED display, the ultra-low-power screen lets you scroll through data like compass bearings, your SpO2 level, and heart rate readings. Rivaling the OnePlus Watch 2, it survived on a charge for up to 80 hours in testing. Though it otherwise provides lots of lifestyle features, a large choice of downloaded apps via the Google Play Store, and strong fitness capabilities, there's no cellular option and Google Assistant support isn't available as of this writing.
Pros:

- Bright AMOLED display
- Attractive design
- Good app selection
Cons:

Why it’s a top pick:
Default settings allow the OnePlus Watch 2 to run for four days on a charge, hence defeating Wear OS smartwatches in battery life. Along with thorough health, sleep, and exercise tracking, it provides a wide choice of apps and smarts.

Why it’s a top pick:
Designed for explorers, the Galaxy Watch Ultra has a more robust titanium casing and far better battery life than its siblings (up to 46 hours on a charge with the always-on display enabled). Its programmable action button and bright, 3,000-nit display make it stand out. It also has a multi-sport tracking tile designed for triathlons and has 10ATM certification enhanced water resistance, up from 5ATM on the Watch 7. Keep in mind that it only comes in a large 47mm case size. Its tough construction and adventure elements still make it a decent option for mountain bikers, trail runners, hikers, and people who work outside as well as for anyone who wants a fully featured Android-compatible timepiece that lasts more than a day on a charge.
Pros:
- Battery lasts more than a day
- Detailed sleep and health insights
- Customizable Quick Button
- Responsive touch and gesture controls
- Durable titanium build

Best Fitness-Focused Watch
Garmin Venu Sq 2
Phone OS Compatibility:Android, iOS
Watch OS:Proprietary
Processor:N/A
Display Size:1.41 inches
Display Type:AMOLED
Fitness Features:Accelerometer, GPS, Heart Rate Monitor, Blood Oxygen Monitor, Temperature Sensor
Battery Life:9 days
Separate App Store: ✔
Phone Call Capacity: ✖
Why it’s a top pick:
Both a basic wristwatch and a premium fitness tracker, the Garmin Venu Sq 2 stands out. Google and Samsung's smartwatches can't compete with its weeklong battery life, built-in GPS for fitness tracking, large AMOLED display, and crucial lifestyle features like Garmin Pay. Beginning at $249.99, it's far more reasonable than the Venu 3 ($449.99) or the earlier Venu 2 ($399.99). Should you choose a fitness-oriented smartwatch that will survive long between charges, this is a great deal.
Pros:
- Large AMOLED touch screen
- Weeklong battery life
- Lightweight design
- Plenty of health metrics
- Contactless payments
- Integrated GPS
Cons:
- Does not track floors climbed
- Preloaded workouts are not animated
- Limited lifestyle features
Best Stress Management Features
Fitbit Sense 2

Processor:N/A
Display Size:1.58 inches

Fitness Features:Accelerometer, GPS, Heart Rate Monitor, Blood Oxygen Monitor, Temperature Sensor

Why it’s a top pick:
Fitbit's top-of-the-line wearable, the Sense 2, helps you easily track your health and control your stress. Its sophisticated sensors track your moods to keep you aware and watch for bodily indicators of stress all day. To set Fitbit apart from Google's Pixel Watch, company reduced the price this generation and deleted other lifestyle apps, guiding it more toward wellness. Though the second-generation Sense has some usability enhancements over the original, including a more responsive touch screen, a physical (vs. haptic) button, and somewhat better battery life (around five days on a charge in our testing), we don't like the appearance of the new transparent display border for the heart rhythm sensor. Though the Sense 2 is better if you want all the wellness bells and whistles, including an ECG sensor and a more strong stress management experience, the more cheap Fitbit Versa 4, which also monitors important health indicators including breathing rate, heart rate variability, and skin temperature variation, is the better choice for most people.

The fourth-generation Fitbit Versa is a good candidate if you're looking for reasonably priced fitness-oriented smartwatch.
