Smartwatches represent a new generation of technology: With these small, digital all-rounders, you can read your e-mails and text messages, log your health data or make phone calls. But that’ just the beginning: these watches can detect when their owner falls and call for help in an emergency. At the same time, they also look chic.
Available in a slim, minimalist round design or as an angular variant, smartwatches are a handy companion during sports, at work or during leisure time. These electronic wristwatches monitor sleep, serve as a navigation system and are capable of playing music. They are usually linked to a smartphone and must be compatible with its operating system. The performance spectrum is far greater than that of an analog watch from classic watch manufacturers.

While will talk about two other Apple smartwatches, in the following, but you might not want to spend big money on a watch right away. This new Apple Watch SE from last fall appears to be a reasonable middle ground.
There are some trade-offs here. Most notably, the ECG and SpO₂ measurements are not included, the display doesn’t have the “Always On” feature, and the processor is from last year, which means it’s a bit slower. However, if apps, wrist information, iPhone integration, contactless payments and an interesting price tag are your priority, you’ll definitely be satisfied. Stay tuned for more of the best smartwatches currently on the market.
