Nixon The Mission Smartwatch Review
Nixon has come out with its most high-performing smartwatch yet, called The Mission. But how does it stand up to other sports watches?
Garmin Vivoactive HR review
The vivoactive HR blends the look and general shape of the company’s fitness bands with the technology found inside Garmin’s high-end smartwatches like the fenix Chronos.
TomTom Spark 3 review
There’s no shortage of fitness trackers and sports watches by any means, but that does not prevent TomTom from having another shot at its popular Spark line with the Spark 3.
Garmin Fenix 3 HR review
Those who don’t mind a big, beautiful hunk of performance tracking tech on their wrist won’t find another watch that does what the fenix 3 HR does and looks so good doing it.
Pebble 2 + Heart Rate review
The Pebble 2 + HR promises a lot, but delivers a little. We review the smartwatch.
Apple Watch Series 2 review
Apple Watch Series 2 with Apple's new WatchOS 3 breathes new life into the leading smartwatch. It’s faster, brighter, and much more waterproof than before.
Suunto Ambit3 Vertical review
Suunto has skiers, hikers, climbers, and all sorts of athletes in its sights with its newest smartwatch, the Suunto Ambit3 Vertical. With an altimeter, a barometer, a compass (ABC), a thermometer, and the coolest video mode ever, it’s got something for any adventurer.
Mobvoi Ticwatch 2 review
A Chinese company just launched a Kickstarter campaign for a smartwatch called the Ticwatch 2. It’s not running Android Wear, but it’s a sleek-looking device with a mostly smooth OS.
Casio Smart Outdoor Watch WSD-F10 review
Casio’s WSD-F10 includes unique features like an altimeter, barometer, and compass, along with Android Wear, but do the outdoor features justify the $500 price?
Samsung Gear Fit 2 review
Samsung’s Gear Fit 2 is better than a Fitbit in almost every way. Its design is sleek, it offers smart notifications, and it can automatically track your workouts. Here’s our review.
Fitbit Surge review
Released almost a year ago, the Fitbit Surge offers GPS, continuous heart rate monitoring, and a slew of activity trackers. Despite a growing market, it remains a competent, smart choice.
Microsoft Band 2 review
With the Microsoft Band 2 wearable -- a smartwatch with strong fitness tracking and health monitoring features -- the company has fixed the design flaws that made the first Band so hard to wear. But design dings and downright disasters leave this product dead in the water.
Asus ZenWatch 2 review
The Asus ZenWatch 2 isn't a bad smartwatch for the price, but if fails to build on its predecessor in any meaningful way. Here’s our full review.
Apple Watch review (Updated for OS 2.0)
Apple has made the first piece of wearable tech that feels friendly and has a little bit of quirky character about it. We test it out to see if it’ll take smartwatches mainstream.
Vector Luna review
Smartwatches have a reputation for toy-like designs and overly flashy features. The Vector Luna gives us the one main feature we all want — long battery life — and a gorgeous, stylish body. Here’s why it may be a better choice for you than the Apple Watch.
Hands on: Huawei Watch
The Huawei Watch’s classic good looks and high-resolution screen make it stand out among other smartwatches, but how does it compare to the LG Urbane and the Apple Watch?
Pebble Time review
The Pebble Time tries to take on Android Wear smartwatches and the Apple Watch with a revamped design and user interface. Did Pebble do enough to combat the competition?
Huawei TalkBand B2 review
We review the quirky Huawei TalkBand B2, a fitness tracker on your wrist that houses a full Bluetooth headset inside it. But do you even need this?
LG Watch Urbane review
The Watch Urbane is LG’s smartwatch take on stylish, classic timepieces. Resplendent in striking rose gold, it makes a big, bold statement on your wrist, but the design turned out to be very divisive.
Hands on: Vector Luna Smartwatch
This smartwatch can’t be turned off, but still manages to return at least 30 days battery life before recharging, plus it’s more classically styled and cheaper than the Apple Watch.
Asus ZenWatch review
Its tasteful design and comparatively thrifty price may turn heads, but Asus’ first Android Wear watch fails to live up to expectations.
Garmin VivoActive review
Garmin’s new Vívoactive blends fitness tracking with GPS to deliver a lightweight, stylish, fitness watch that does much more than count steps.
Martian Watches Passport review
The Martian Passport has combination of basic smartwatch features and voice control functionality, but it’s held back by a high price and chunky design.
Hands on: Practech UB
How do you make a new smart watch standout in an increasingly crowded market? Give it an unusual feature -- or in the case of the U Band, a few of them.
Hands on: LG Watch Urbane LTE
We go hands on with the Watch Urbane LTE, LG's attempt to make its own smartwatch operating system. With awesome new features, LTE built in, and a beautiful new design, it's our favorite new watch at Mobile World Congress 2015.
Hands on: LG Watch Urbane
We put on the Watch Urbane, LG's latest Android Wear watch, which shares the exact same guts as the G Watch R.
Hands on: Neptune Duo
Not only does the Duo offer a unique smartwatch design, it also relegates the phone to little more than a connected screen.
Withings Activité Pop review
Withings introduced a much cheaper version of its first fitness-tracking watch. It’s called the Activité Pop, and it’s just as good.
Withings Activite review
The Withings Activité tracks your steps with incredible accuracy, monitors your sleep, and wakes you up peacefully, all while looking dead-drop gorgeous.
Garmin fenix 2 review
Garmin’s update to its premium fitness GPS watch makes it one of the smartest watch we’ve seen -- especially if you’re into the outdoors.
Microsoft Band review
The Microsoft Band wearable fitness device and smartwatch packs 10 different sensors into one amazing package, a technology feat to be sure. But Microsoft lost sight of function somewhere along the way -- and ended up building an unwearable wearable.
Meta M1 Core review
We review Meta’s M1 Core, a smartwatch built by watchmakers, rather than consumer-electronics heavyweights.
LG G Watch R review
The LG G Watch R features the world’s first circular P-OLED screen, and makes good use of the latest version of Google’s Android Wear operating system. We take an in-depth look at this gorgeous new smartwatch.
Netatmo June UV review
Netatmo’s June UV bracelet is one of the earliest examples of wearable tech made by women for women. Most of the focus is on its design, as its functionality is limited to measuring UV rays and warning women about sun exposure.
