What are the best Selling Smart Watches on the market right now?
A smartwatch is a device that combines the functionality of a traditional wristwatch with the computing power of a smartphone. With the ability to perform a wide range of tasks, such as tracking fitness, monitoring health, and receiving notifications, smartwatches have become increasingly popular in recent years. So, what are the best-selling smartwatches right now?
Based on the latest data, The best-selling watch is Apple Watch Series 8.
1. Apple Watch Series 8 is the slickest Apple Watch yet
Apple Watch Series 8 is the slickest Apple Watch yet. Sure, it’s not as capable as the Watch Ultra, but it’s much smaller and lighter. While the Ultra isn’t overbearingly heavy, this is much more manageable, fitting more wrists more easily.
The design is terrific, though familiar as it is unchanged from Series 7. The curved glass in front of the display is still highly appealing and pleasing to the touch.
The latest features are useful, particularly, the temperature sensor, crash detection and the low power mode that extends usage considerably. If that sounds like a short list, it is, but factor in the already extensive features of the Apple Watch, and it adds up nicely. In fact, unless you need the extreme sports capabilities of the Ultra, Series 8 adds up to the best smartwatch around.
If you’re thinking of getting Apple Watch, the Best time is now. Many users have reported that it motivates them to do more steps and live a healthier lifestyle.
2. Samsung Galaxy Watch 5
Galaxy Watch 5: the fitness features are not quite well implemented or accurate enough to tempt dedicated athletes. As a smartwatch, however, there’s a lot to like. It looks snazzy and is easy to read and the continued use of Wear OS means there are plenty of apps to expand its utility.
But with very little to separate this from the last generation other than the currently non-functional temperature sensor, there’s really no reason to upgrade. You may be better off getting a bargain on last year’s model. Yet, it still remains between best-selling smartwatches in 2023.
3. Fitbit Versa 4. The Real Deal?
When Google acquired Fitbit back in 2020, we half expected the best Fitbits, including watches like the Fitbit Versa 4 would use Google’s WearOS software going forwards, but that has not happened. This watch is more like a tweaked version of the Fitbit Versa 3.
Despite this, Fitbit Versa 4 is one of the best-selling smartwatches, particularly in the UK providing good value for money. It launched in late September 2022, two years after the Versa 3. At this price, some obvious rivals include the Garmin Venu Sq 2 and the Apple Watch SE, which cost slightly less and slightly more respectively.
4. Garmin Vivoactive. Must-have for every runner
The fitness watch is part of Garmin’s rapidly expanding range of its best running watches with touchscreen features and sits in the middle of the lineup in terms of both price and features.
The Vivoactive 4 is still significantly cheaper than the company’s Fenix and Forerunner flagships, and smart changes to the controls mean you are much less likely to accidentally pause and stop exercise tracking with touchscreen swipes and prods.
The Garmin Vivoactive 4 looks relatively similar to the Vivoactive 3 and Forerunner 645. A band of silver, but not chrome-bright, metal sits around the edge of the watch. Its screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 3 tech, but it’s not recessed like the Fenix 6’s, making it slightly more vulnerable. Every bit of such protection adds to a watch’s dimensions, though.
So, these are the best-selling Smart Watches right now in the UK. Which one will you choose?
