The days of writing off even the best smartwatches as gimmicks are firmly behind us. They are taking us away from our smartphones, replacing wallets, keeping us fit, saving lives and they finally look like the kind of connected timepieces you’d want to have peeking out from underneath a shirt sleeve.
The good news is that in 2021, you can find strong smartwatch options whether you’re willing to spend the kind of money reserved for a traditional Swiss watch timepiece or you’re willing to sacrifice high grade materials for something that will serve up phone notifications and keep you moving during the day on a budget.
It’s not just tech companies like Apple and Samsung that are playing in this space now. Designer watchmakers and some less known tech names are proving that the options for prospective smartwatch owners are as abundant as they have ever been.
