9 Best Smartwatches You Must Buy In 2016

Instead of putting your money where your mouth is, why not put it on your wrist?

2015 gave birth to a plethora of new smartwatches with big names like Apple, Pebble, LG, Motorola, Tag Heuer, Fossil, Samsung Sony and more entering and expanding the wearable range. There are so many to choose between now, from Android Wear to the latest Pebble timepieces, with even the Apple Watch is flying off the shelves. Some say that wearable tech is to the smartphone what wristwatches were to the pocket watch. Of course, your smartphone holds far more information than a pocket watch ever did, yet all of which is still locked into your pocket. Cynics would believe that smartwatches are not for you to make calls with and speak into, like Inspector Gadget, but instead they provide a quick and easy way to check what notifications are on your smartphone, so you can decide whether it's worth delving into your pocket or searching around your bag to fetch your smartphone or not... But, not only can smartwatches help you ship left or right on Tinder, they can also help change your lifestyle. Some are great because they're cheap and powerful while others are much better for sports and checking your pulse. As is stands, you'll need to pick a watch with more limited functionality if you want long battery life while ones which can do all sorts will typically last a couple of days. Fitness fanatics will want to look for a device with a heart rate monitor and built-in GPS, although the heart rate monitors are often poor - so there's certainly something for everyone. Lets take a look at some of the best - and the worst - smartwatches that rolled off the production line in 2015.
