Martian Notifier review
Martian’s Notifier is a stylish and stealthy entry to the smartwatch category that keeps the focus firmly on notifications from your Android or iOS device.
Wellograph review
The Wellograph is a premium device that will track your heart rate and activity, but it’s very expensive compared to smartwatches that deliver a lot more functionality.
Neptune Pine review
The Neptune Pine promises to combine everything you love about smart watches and smartphones into one, convenient device. Can it really pull this gargantuan task off?
Netatmo June UV review
Netatmo’s June UV bracelet is one of the earliest examples of wearable tech made by women for women. Most of the focus is on its design, as its functionality is limited to measuring UV rays and warning women about sun exposure.
Meta M1 Core review
We review Meta’s M1 Core, a smartwatch built by watchmakers, rather than consumer-electronics heavyweights.
Microsoft Band review
The Microsoft Band wearable fitness device and smartwatch packs 10 different sensors into one amazing package, a technology feat to be sure. But Microsoft lost sight of function somewhere along the way -- and ended up building an unwearable wearable.
Withings Activite review
The Withings Activité tracks your steps with incredible accuracy, monitors your sleep, and wakes you up peacefully, all while looking dead-drop gorgeous.
Martian Watches Passport review
The Martian Passport has combination of basic smartwatch features and voice control functionality, but it’s held back by a high price and chunky design.
Garmin VivoActive review
Garmin’s new VĂvoactive blends fitness tracking with GPS to deliver a lightweight, stylish, fitness watch that does much more than count steps.
Asus ZenWatch review
Its tasteful design and comparatively thrifty price may turn heads, but Asus’ first Android Wear watch fails to live up to expectations.
LG Watch Urbane review
The Watch Urbane is LG’s smartwatch take on stylish, classic timepieces. Resplendent in striking rose gold, it makes a big, bold statement on your wrist, but the design turned out to be very divisive.
Huawei TalkBand B2 review
We review the quirky Huawei TalkBand B2, a fitness tracker on your wrist that houses a full Bluetooth headset inside it. But do you even need this?
Pebble Time review
The Pebble Time tries to take on Android Wear smartwatches and the Apple Watch with a revamped design and user interface. Did Pebble do enough to combat the competition?
Apple Watch review (Updated for OS 2.0)
Apple has made the first piece of wearable tech that feels friendly and has a little bit of quirky character about it. We test it out to see if it’ll take smartwatches mainstream.
Microsoft Band 2 review
With the Microsoft Band 2 wearable -- a smartwatch with strong fitness tracking and health monitoring features -- the company has fixed the design flaws that made the first Band so hard to wear. But design dings and downright disasters leave this product dead in the water.
Fitbit Surge review
Released almost a year ago, the Fitbit Surge offers GPS, continuous heart rate monitoring, and a slew of activity trackers. Despite a growing market, it remains a competent, smart choice.
Samsung Gear Fit 2 review
Samsung’s Gear Fit 2 is better than a Fitbit in almost every way. Its design is sleek, it offers smart notifications, and it can automatically track your workouts. Here’s our review.
Mobvoi Ticwatch 2 review
A Chinese company just launched a Kickstarter campaign for a smartwatch called the Ticwatch 2. It’s not running Android Wear, but it’s a sleek-looking device with a mostly smooth OS.
Suunto Ambit3 Vertical review
Suunto has skiers, hikers, climbers, and all sorts of athletes in its sights with its newest smartwatch, the Suunto Ambit3 Vertical. With an altimeter, a barometer, a compass (ABC), a thermometer, and the coolest video mode ever, it’s got something for any adventurer.
Apple Watch Series 2 review
Apple Watch Series 2 with Apple's new WatchOS 3 breathes new life into the leading smartwatch. It’s faster, brighter, and much more waterproof than before.
Pebble 2 + Heart Rate review
The Pebble 2 + HR promises a lot, but delivers a little. We review the smartwatch.
Garmin Fenix 3 HR review
Those who don’t mind a big, beautiful hunk of performance tracking tech on their wrist won’t find another watch that does what the fenix 3 HR does and looks so good doing it.
Garmin Vivoactive HR review
The vivoactive HR blends the look and general shape of the company’s fitness bands with the technology found inside Garmin’s high-end smartwatches like the fenix Chronos.
Garmin Forerunner 35 GPS running watch review
The Garmin Forerunner 35 is a sassy little Chiclet of a watch that is the most attractive, affordable heart rate monitoring GPS running watch Garmin has ever made.
Fossil Q Crewmaster Hybrid Smartwatch Review
Not everyone wants to wear a touchscreen smartwatch, or a sporty fitness band, but does want the benefits both bring. The Q Crewmaster may be the answer, as it combines the best features found in both, and matches them with a cool, traditional watch body.
Emporio Armani EA Connected Watch review
Fashion brands aren’t about to miss out on the wearable tech craze, and Emporio Armani is the latest to come out with a smartwatch. However, it has made the sensible decision of creating a hybrid smartwatch. We’ve been wearing it, and here’s what it’s like.
Huawei Fit review
Part activity tracker and part smartwatch, the Huawei Fit’s standout feature is its heart rate monitor, which maintains a careful eye on your heart health on a daily basis. Does this make it worth wearing?
Martian Alpha T10 review
You can call on Alexa and your smartphone's voice assistant with a Martian mVoice smartwatch, but the device also ditches features found in competitors. Can you really rely on voice for your smartwatch needs?
ZTE Quartz review
All that glitters is not gold – or quartz. ZTE’s Quartz may not be the most glamorous smartwatch, but it offers basic Android Wear functionality at a fraction of the cost.
Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR review
With stunning on-screen graphics, stats, and performance metrics, the Spartan Sport Wrist HR is a great training watch.
Mighty Cast Nex Evolution review
The Nex Band Evolution is a highly-configurable IFTTT-friendly smart wearable. You can use it as a remote to trigger all sorts of actions, but how useful is it? We take a closer look.
Huawei Watch 2 review
LG’s Watch Sport may have been the first Android Wear 2.0 smartwatch, but the Huawei Watch 2 Sport is the one to buy. Here’s our full review.
LG Watch Sport (Android Wear 2.0) review
Google and LG wanted to showcase the best of Android Wear 2.0 in the LG Watch Sport, but as our review shows, will it even fit on your wrist?
Motorola Moto 360 (2015) review
Update: How does the Moto 360 (2015) stack up against the smartwatches of today, and is it still the best choice for women? Read our updated review.
