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.

This is the perfect watch for fitness bracelet owners who are looking to take their fitness to a slightly higher level. Featuring an elongated and slightly curved case, the lightweight Huawei Watch Fit actually makes it seem like you can’t feel it on your wrist at all. Still, it has a relatively large AMOLED display with nicely vibrant colors.
It is based on the same platform that powers the triple-priced Huawei GT2 Pro. There are compromises, of course: it lacks a barometer and an electronic compass, it can’t play music or measure SpO₂, but the basics remain – GPS, clear interface, simple operation, reliable mobile notifications, a suite of apps and optional dials. This watch started around 160 dollars, but now you can get it for about 80 dollars.
Basic Specs:
- Display: 1.65″ AMOLED touchscreen, 456 × 280 pixels resolution
- Battery life: 7 to 9 days
- GPS: yes
- App installation: no
