It's an exciting time to be in the market for a new smartwatch because your options are no longer limited to just a few fan favorites. Sure, the Apple Watch still dominates the market, but it now faces tough competition from the likes of Samsung, Garmin, and even Google. Smartwatches are also much more capable now than older options that were mostly limited to displaying notifications and tracking your activities. The best smartwatches on the market right now can do so much more, from measuring your heart rate and tracking different types of workouts to even giving you access to digital assistants on your wrist.
