2. Google Pixel Watch – Best for Android (and Fitbit Fans)
One of the biggest draws of the first official Pixel Watch is its beautiful design. Not only does it look and feel great, with its own personality, but it’s also compact, light and comfortable.
But more than that, it’s packed with great tech and works brilliantly thanks to the combination of the intuitive Wear OS 3 software, a digital crown and a dazzling screen.
Fitness tracking is handled by Fitbit, which also makes this the best smartwatch right now for anyone wanting to keep their data in the Fitbit family, as it’s comfortably better than Fitbit’s own Sense 2 and Versa 4, which weren’t good enough to use in this chart.
Unfortunately, Google didn’t get it right in every department, with unpredictable battery life, limitations when it comes to charging and, strangest of all, the lack of proper automatic exercise detection despite Fitbit-powered tracking. Still, this raises the bar for the new standard smartwatch experience on Android and gives rivals something to aim for.
