Those with a sporty lifestyle need a smartwatch that can not only keep up with that, but also has a sporty design. Luckily, there are some great smartwatches with a sporty design. They are well equipped to handle your workout and fitness needs, while also being a full functional extension of your smartphone on your wrist. Besides tracking your fitness regimes, they can also alert you of notifications, help you respond to messages and do a whole lot to enhance your workouts. Picking out a good smartwatch is a challenging task, so here are some of the best ones.

How we do our research

Our ranking criteria

We consider each smart watch’s features, compatibility, durability, shape, design, and display quality. Additionally, we also consider other factors such as accuracy in data, brand, price and more.

Things to look for while buying smartwatch with GPS

Buying a smartwatch can get tricky, especially with the plethora of options available in the market today. To make things easier, we have listed down some key points that you should consider before buying a new smartwatch with GPS.

Fitness tracking features

Fitness tracking is one of the biggest reasons why people buy smartwatches as it tracks your calorie count, steps and more. With the advancement in technology health tracking on smartwatches has gone beyond, now look for additional features such as ECG heart-rate monitoring, SpO2 meter and activity tracking.

Design and build

Usually, there are two dial options when buying a smartwatch, a traditional round one and a square or rectangular one.

Coming to build quality, cheaper smartwatches rarely offer materials like metal for the casing or leather for the straps. They have a plastic finish with silicone straps that don't last long. When you are going for the premium brand you can expect better build quality.

If you are regular in sports activity then look for a watch with IP certification.

Display

It is important to consider the capabilities and quality of the display as it shows you all the essential information. Look for a watch with a good display that works well indoors as well as outdoors, especially under direct sunlight. Make sure the smartwatch has a responsive touch and protective glass.

Apart from these, you should also consider the display type, AMOLED display is much better when compared to LCD as it offers better colours and contrast

Battery life

Today, battery life remains one of the most popular features but still, most of the smartwatches offer limited battery life. Look for a smartwatch with 2-3 days battery life as they have features like cellular support, continuous heart rate tracking and other biometric sensors.
