- We tested dozens of smartwatches to see which ones are best for women in terms of style, size, and function.
- The 40mm Apple Watch Series 4 is the most stylish, high-tech smartwatch for women with its simple interface and attractive looks.
The first smartwatches were bulky, ugly monstrosities that only the most ardent of tech addicts could stomach wearing every day, but over the past few years, smartwatches have become much more fashionable.
As more and more fashion-forward brands join the latest tech craze, smartwatches for women have started to arrive. Fossil, Skagen, and Kate Spade are getting into the wearable world. Of course, traditional tech companies are taking notice of the trend, too.
Apple was one of the first tech companies to make female-friendly Apple Watch styles, and it remains the only company to have successfully made a smartwatch that's small enough for women with dainty wrists. Meanwhile, Samsung, LG, Huawei, Motorola, and others have dabbled in making attractive versions of their smartwatches for women.
As a female tech reviewer for the past six years, I've tested nearly every smartwatch that has come out to date - no matter how big or manly - so I can confidently say that these are the best smartwatches for women.
Our buying guide of the best smartwatches for women includes all kinds of watches to suit every style, so whether you like gold, silver, or a unique finish; whether you like chunky watches, slim ones, or futuristic styles, we've got you covered.
