Apple Watch Series 6

Apple Watch Series 6 (Best Watch)

The Apple Watch Series 6 is by far and away the best smartwatch out on the market today. It has an excellent heart rate sensor, GPS and is fully waterproof. If sporty is what you are looking for then you can opt for the Apple Watch Nike+ which has a better strap for activities as well as having our favourite watch screen which doesn't come on the standard Series 6.  It's definitely worth opting for the 42mm as the extra screen size is an improvement when interacting with the screen.

Apple Watch SE

Great Mid-Range

Apple Watch SE (Great Value Cellular)

If the Apple Watch Series 6 is a bit out of your budget then we suggest the Apple Watch Series SE. Not only is this a great companion for REFSIX. It can record GPS and Heart Rate and offers most of the features that the Apple Watch Series 6 has to offer. It has the same internals as the Series 5, so will still be blazingly fast and have great battery life.

Apple Watch S4/S5

Best Value Apple Watches

Apple Watch Series 4 & 5 (Best Price)

Both of these watches are still very fast, have large bright OLED screens and can keep pace with Apple’s latest and greatest watches. Keep your eyes peeled for Black Friday deals on these older devices or even look at the second hand market.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 (Value Flagship)

Samsung’s newest flagship the Galaxy Watch3 bears a hefty price tag for its new feature set including its headline oxygen sensor. The Watch Active 2 has just received a software updated to bring this and may of the other new flagship features down to it at a more affordable price. The Active 2 has only been out for about a year and has a slimmer more Apple Watch style design.

The ‘Active’ branding means this is a smartwatch more suitable for workouts and fitness tracking compared to the regular Galaxy Watch. It’s waterproof, suitable for running, swimming and cycling as well as all your other activities

Most Innovative

TIcwatch PRO 3

TicWatch Pro3 (Most Innovative)

Now it is time for one of the cheapest items on this list. However don't be fooled by the price as the watch offers some incredible features considering. It features their unique ‘dual screen’ which has a super low power e-ink (think kindle) like display which stays on and shows all of the vitals like the time! It also has a full colour display for when you are interacting with apps. The best of both worlds!

Not only do you get full GPS and Heart rate data but the battery life is also very impressive so if you do more than one game in a day you know your watch will last longer than you legs.
