TOP 5 SMARTWATCH 2016

FINDING THE RIGHT SMARTWATCH RIGHT NOW IS A DIFFICULT TASK GIVEN THE PLETHORA OF NEW MODELS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE FROM THE LIKES OF APPLE, PEBBLED, LG, MOTOROLA, TAG HEUER CARRERA,

FOSSIL, SAMSUNG AND FIAT.

1. SAMSUNG GEAR S2

• AS EFFORTLESS TO LIVE WITH AS A PEBBLE, AS SMOOTH AS AN APPLE VIEW AND WITH A RESPONSIVE, ROTATING BEZEL AS THE SECRET WEAPON, THE S2 IS THE SORT OF SMARTWATCH YOU'D PROBABLY KICK YOURSELF FOR GIVING AT HOME. YOU WILL NEED TO PAY EXTRA FOR THE CELL PHONE VERSION TO MAKE THE ALMOST ALL OF THE GPS FEATURES BUT EVEN THE STANDARD VERSION FEELS AS THOUGH A JUMP FORWARD.

• THE BATTERY LIFE IS PREFERABLE TO MOST RIVALS; COMING FROM USED ANDROID WEAR LOOKS AFTER DAILY, AND SAMSUNG'S SMARTWATCH BEATS THESE HANDS DOWN.

2. APPLE WATCH

• IF YOU FIND THE APPLE WATCH THE LEADING EXAMPLE OF FASHION BLENDED WITH TECH OR A BOXY ABOMINATION IS VERY INTO PERSONAL TASTE. BUT FOR OUR MONEY, IT'S ONE OF THE BETTER LOOKING SMARTWATCHES MADE TO TIME FRAME (ESPECIALLY WHEN PAIRED WITH A QUALITY APPLE SEE STRAP) AND, COMING IN TWO SIZES, IS ONE OF THE VERY UNISEX AS WELL.

• THE BUILD QUALITY IS SUPERB, AND THE IMPACT OF BOTH THE 38MM AND 42MM WATCH IS SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER THAN YOU'D EXPECT. DESPITE ITS FLAWS (POOR SPORTS FEATURES AND THE LACK OF GPS), THE APPLE WATCH WAS ONE OF THE FIRST WEARABLES THAT WAS REALLY A PLEASURE TO WEAR. THE APPLE WATCH 2 IS DEFINED TO ARRIVE SOON THOUGH...

3. TAG HEUER CONNECTED

• A CONFESSION FIRST UP - WE'VE NOT YET EXAMINED THE NEW TAG SMARTWATCH ENOUGH TO FULLY REVIEW IT. YET , WE HAVE SPENT SOME TIME WITH THE INTEL-POWERED DEVICE AND IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG BEFORE YOU UNDERSTAND REALLY THE BEST BUILT, AND HIGHEST QUALITY, ANDROID HAVE ON DEVICE TO DATE. COMING FROM AFAR IT GENUINELY APPEARS LIKE A REGULAR INDICATE HEUER WATCH - IS ACTUALLY ONLY WHEN YOU GET UP CLOSE THAT YOU NOTICE IT'S A LARGE LARGE BEAST.

4. SONY SMARTWATCH 3

• THE SONY SMARTWATCH 3 WAS YOUR ENVY OF IT IS RIVALS, THANKS TO THE BUILT-IN GPS CONNECTIVITY, WHICH MEANS YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR SMARTPHONE AT HOME WHEN YOU ARE FOR A RUN (THE MOTO 360 SPORT HAS MATCHED IT ON THAT FRONT NOW THOUGH).

• THE SPORTS STYLING MAKE IT EXQUISITE FOR A WEEKEND JOG, AND WHILE THE SCREEN IS DULL IN CONTRAST TO SOME OF THE RIVALS, THE LATEST GOOGLE ANDROID WEAR UPDATE MEANS IT CAN PAIR WITH CELLULAR HEADPHONES FOR BEATS ON THE RUN. THE STEEL EDITION PROVIDES A TOUCH OF SCHOOL TO THE SMARTWATCH THAT WE AT WAREABLE (WELL, ALMOST ALL OF US) AGREE OFFERS THE MOST BANG FOR YOUR SMARTWATCH BUCK.

5. ASUS ZENWATCH 2

• MAJOR OF THE ZENWATCH 2 IS CHOICE, AND ASUS IS APPROACHING THE INNOVATING SMARTWATCH MARKET IN AN ADULT WAY. THE BRAND NEW ZENWATCH COMES IN TWO SIZES - ESSENTIALLY, INDIVIDUAL AND FEMALE MODELS. GENERALLY THERE ARE ALSO A PROSPERITY OF STRAP OPTIONS INCLUDING RUBBER, STEEL, LEATHER AND EVEN A SWAROVSKI PROTECTED ONE. THIS MAKES IT A NICE VERY FIRST STEP FOR POTENTIAL GOOGLE ANDROID WEAR BUYERS.

• WHILE LITTLE IS PROMOTING ON THE ZENWATCH 2 ON THE HARDWARE FRONT, THE TAIWANESE COMPANY HAS INSTALLED A WIFI CHIP TO EMPLOY THE NEWS IN ANDROID USE, AND FAST CHARGING TECHNOLOGY MEANS YOU CAN DRINK UP 50% OF THE BATTERY IN AROUND 35 MINUTES.
