Some of its more advanced health-tracking features require a Galaxy phone, but it's still a very capable fitness tracker on the whole.В Its collaboratively created software from Google and Samsung means it keeps the polish Galaxy watches were known for while adding a growing list of popular apps to support it. Its classic watch styling looks good, and its rotating bezel controls are intuitive.

SamsungвЂ™s Galaxy Watch 4В is the best all-around wearable for Android users, especially Samsung phone owners.

The Forerunner 245 Music, meanwhile, may be better for those who donвЂ™t need an altimeter or tracking for hikes and other outdoorsy activities but want to retain the lionвЂ™s share of 745's activity-tracking features. Those who love the 745вЂ™s approach but donвЂ™t need things like music storage, blood oxygen monitoring, or running-cadence analysis can save a significant amount with a Forerunner 45.

The Garmin Forerunner 55 and 245 Music are two less-expensive options worth a look for moderate runners.

It lacks a touchscreen, but with GPS, 24/7 heart rate, all-day blood oxygen monitoring, and music storage for up to 500 songs, it's a capable companion for running, swimming, biking, and most other sports.

GarminвЂ™s Forerunner 745 is our top runnerвЂ™s watch for its deep training stats, useful yet easy-to-read analysis for all athletes, and suite of dedicated runnerвЂ™s tools.

There's no ECG sensor, but it should have you covered with basic to moderate health insights otherwise.

It has a nice combination of sleek smartwatch looks (in both software and hardware) and the requisite fitness tracking and notification capabilities we expect at that price point.

If you can find it for less than $200, the Fitbit Versa 3 is another option we like.

It doesn't have the Apple Watch's extensive app support, but it offers nearly the same level of fitness hardware (ECG, blood oxygen sensors, heart rate, GPS), week-long battery life, a more in-depth companion app, and actual Android support, all in a stylish design. Meanwhile, the Apple Watch SE can save you a few bucks depending on your needs. Fitness tracking could still use more context, but the Series 7вЂ™s all-around package is tough to beat. The new, bigger screen offers larger font sizes and more space to read fitness data and notifications, too. Battery life is just okay at roughly one day per charge, but charging from zero to 100 now takes just over an hour. No other wearable offers close to the app variety, ecosystem cohesiveness, and third-party support that the Apple Watch does.

The Apple Watch Series 7В is still the best all-around smartwatch available.

A slightly more affordable smartwatch we like.
