In addition, of the advantages, users note convenient control using buttons. Lovers of sleep are happy with the intensity of the alarm-vibration - here, even if you don't want to, you just jump up.

The downside is the problem with the strap. The one sold in the kit falls into disrepair quite quickly. But if the strap can be easily replaced, then software problems can not always be solved. For example, there is a difficulty in activating Russian fonts. You can't expect much from the watch, they were thought to complement and expand the capabilities of a smartphone, but nothing more.

If the previous positions in the ranking of smartwatches were more reminiscent of an electronic watch from the times of our childhood, then the product from the Chinese company Huawei looks more impressive. This is a real wrist watch with a round dial, stylish and rather weighty. The design is high-quality, the screen is always active (which further adds to the illusion of "realness"), and the straps can be changed to whatever you like.

Plus watches - in a large number of applications and versatility - they fit all smartphones. The only requirement is that the operating system is at least Android 4.3.

One of the few downsides to this best smartwatch from China is that the screen doesn't adjust to the brightness of the ambient light.Therefore, in bright sunlight it is not easy to see what is displayed on the screen.

This lightweight and stylish watch from the USA is a great help for those with an active lifestyle. A clear, error-free GPS allows you to plan your run up to literally a meter. And if the owner sits in place for a long time, the activity indicator will remind you that it's time to move.

Users note the abundance of applications and ease of use (for example, when recharging, you can simply connect the phone to a stationary computer, and at the same time it also synchronizes itself with an account on the Garmin website).

Paradoxically, the disadvantage of Garmin Vivoactive stems from its own advantages - the device is primarily intended for sports, hiking, planning physical activity. The rest of the functions are not very convenient: call alerts are not very informative, and the icons of different alerts can be easily confused with each other.

6. Prolike PLSW523

At the same time, the parent will immediately receive an alert on his smartphone, and using GPS will determine the location of the child.

The case is a little too big for a child's hand, but the children themselves like it. Another plus is the cheapest smartwatch, and for this price you can survive if a child breaks the watch or breaks it.

True, cheapness turns to the consumer with its ugly side - the free application is such that it discourages any desire to use it. There is also a better one, but it is paid - 99 rubles. per month. The battery is small, the watch will have to be charged every day.

5. Samsung Gear S3 Frontier

An excellent well-thought-out device that has both office functionality (the ability to talk on the clock, either by phone, connection to terminals), and functions useful for athletes (GPS, pedometer, heart rate monitor and even its own built-in player).

Users rejoice in the superior light sensor display and easy operation. Unlike many other watches running on Android, Samsung Gear S3 Frontier has developed its own OS, which is simple, logical and understandable even for beginners. The gadget also boasts a long battery life for such functionality without recharging - up to 96 hours in standby mode.

Attention! If you want to buy any application from Samsung, be careful; there is a possibility that under the guise of a program you may be slipped a simple and banal user manual

In fourth place in the list of the best smartwatches of 2018 is the product of the Chinese company Xiaomi, famous for its the best smartphones... It is intended primarily for sports. The brightness of the screen will depend on the ambient light (the brighter, the sharper). There is a pedometer, heart rate monitor, calorie counter, sleep rhythm tracking.

Despite the relatively low price of the device, Amazfit Bip has the ability to store these data in memory until synchronization with a phone or computer is possible. But the main advantage of this watch is its long battery life; the manufacturer boasts that they can last as much as 45 days without recharging.

On the downside, apart from sports, Amazfit Bip has little to offer. Message notifications do not contain information, only an offer to look into the smartphone. And it's unclear who is calling - the name is not displayed on the screen. There is no way to upload statistics to sports apps like Endomondo, Strava, etc.

Casio's Edifice is loved by white collars around the world. The watch looks great - solid, reliable, steel case, metal bracelet. And no cheap electronic screen with pop-up pixel letters and numbers. In fact, this is a real chronometer, only with the ability to communicate via Bluetooth with a smartphone. From it, you can completely customize all the functionality of the clock (believe me, you will have to mess around for a very long time without it), including an alarm clock, world clock and much more.

They can work endlessly (and this is not an exaggeration) for a long time - in addition to the usual battery, the watch has a solar battery.

Of the minuses: you should not expect all the full functionality of a smart watch from Casio Edifice, even for such a high price. The maximum that will be is a notification that an unread message has appeared in the mail.

  • backlit monochrome screen
  • compatible with Android OS, iOS
  • inform about an incoming call

And many applications will allow you to track your own physical activity to the nearest second. If you choose a specific training mode, the “trainer” will show you what the results can be and how quickly to achieve them, and also suggest possible optimization.

Cons: The Polar M430 is expensive and the design is simpler. The product seems to have come from somewhere in the nineties and most of all looks like a simple GPS tracker.

Apple Watch Series 3
