10 Best Smartwatch For Men | Best Smart Watches For Men
Smartwatches have moved to a different approach as compared to what they were a few years ago. The emphasis has now moved on from smartphone notifiers to extended purposes which increase the utility of your phone with features such as fitness, media controls, and even calls.
Smartwatches have moved to a different approach as compared to what they were a few years ago. The emphasis has now moved on from smartphone notifiers to extended purposes which increase the utility of your phone with features such as fitness, media controls, and even calls.
Android smartwatches have also gotten a second life thanks to efforts by Samsung and other hybrids. In 2020, we have some really dependable smartwatches that keep our hopes alive in the wearable tech world.
While smartwatches haven't seen the pace of revolution that smartphones have, we have still seen improvements ranging from design, battery, software, and features. These wearables now make a lot more sense if we compare them with two-year-old watches.
Smartwatches nowadays have neat little tricks up their sleeves. Want to talk to your smartwatch to search for something? Can do! Want to monitor your activities, ranging from walking, running, swimming, or just... sitting? Can do! You can even set up an SOS feature on some watches, and if they detect an accident or a fall, they will inform your contacts. So here are the best smart watches for men. Oh.....By the way, welcome to MR. VOLUMISED.
BEST SMARTWATCH FOR MEN
THE BEST APPLE WATCH MONEY CAN BUY
PRICE = ₹52900
OS: watchOS 6 | Compatibility: iOS | Display: 1.78" OLED | Processor: Apple S4 | Band sizes: Varies based on watch size | Onboard storage: 16GB | Battery: 1 to 2 days | Charging method: Wireless | IP rating: Water-resistant to 50m | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, LTE
The Apple Watch 5 is a premium smartwatch, but one that doesn't offer a huge upgrade over the Watch 4, apart from the very welcome always-on display. It hasn't risen in price, and there's more storage on offer – but many will find the cheaper Apple Watch 3 a more attractive device.
FOR
Always-on display
More storage
WatchOS 6 brings decent upgrades
AGAINST
Too similar to Apple Watch 4
Battery life poorer
Always-on display too bright at night
Trust Apple to absolutely nail it when it comes to unique pieces of technology. Although there are smartwatches dime a dozen, there is hardly anything better than the Apple Watch in the market right now, all things considered.
The Apple Watch Series 5 is our favorite smartwatch you can buy right now. The design remains unchanged for the most part but adds an always-on display which was notably missing on the older versions of Wear OS.
You now get a bigger display with the choice of 40mm or 44mm dial sizes, as well as all the rest of the tech we've come to expect from the Apple Watch. The speaker is now louder, the build is still lightweight while feeling just as premium, and you can use your old straps with this new watch.
While all the above things are good, the most exciting tech is the fact there's an ECG feature within the heart rate tracker. It can test your heart to see if you're at a high risk of atrial fibrillation, which will allow you to seek help earlier if your health is in danger.
Since its launch, Apple has expanded the availability of the ECG feature to more markets outside of the US, including India. While it may not be used as often as other regular features, it could still save lives - as it has already done a couple of times.
There are still tons of fitness features and the latest watchOS 6 apps onboard so you'll likely love this smartwatch. The Apple Watch 5 is our favorite watch you can use with an iPhone (this won't work with Android devices), but it's just been pipped to the title of the best overall smartwatch.
THE FITNESS BRAND MAKES ITS FIRST BIG SMARTWATCH PLAY
PRICE = ₹29,999
OS: Tizen OS | Compatibility: Android, iOS | Display: 360 x 360, OLED | Processor: Exynos 9110 | Band sizes: 20mm | Onboard storage: 4GB | Battery duration: 2-3 days | Charging method: Wireless | IP rating: IP68 | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

Samsung took everything great about the Galaxy Watch, such as the reliable performance, a beautiful display, multiple-day battery life, and brought it to a form factor that is suitable for everyone.
FOR
Great performance
Enjoyable digital rotating bezel
eSIM capability
2-day battery life
Minimal design, suitable for everyone
AGAINST
Limited app selection
Fitness tracking occasionally inaccurate
The included band too big
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 is the easiest high-end smartwatch to recommend for Android users for a multitude of reasons. It runs on Tizen OS which is much more consistent than Wear OS in terms of performance and efficiency. We're looking at almost 2 days of usage on a single charge.
Secondly, unlike its predecessor, it has a beautiful design that will suit almost all users. It's a minimal yet classy approach to a smartwatch. The bands are also changeable. The best part is that it too comes with a rotating bezel, which is arguably one of the best ways to navigate a smartwatch.
FOSSIL'S LATEST BIG SMARTWATCH ATTEMPT
PRICE = ₹22995

The Fossil Group has become synonymous with Wear OS smartwatches as mainstream manufacturers slowly left the market. The fifth-generation brings improvements to performance and battery life while bringing Google's extensive app store to wearables.
While we still don't think they are the best for the price due to inconsistent performance and battery life, but if you are insistent on a Wear OS watch, there's no better option than one of Fossil's Gen 5 watches. Luckily, these come in many options and designs to not just look geeky.
OUR FAVORITE WEAR OS WATCH COMES WITH TWO SCREENS
PRICE = ₹30,914
OS: Wear OS | Compatibility: Android 4.3+, iOS 8+ | Display: 1.4" 400 x 400 OLED paired with LCD screen | Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 | Onboard storage: 4GB | Battery duration: Up to 48h, 5 extra days in Essential mode | Charging method: Magnetic connecting pin | IP rating: IP68 | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, NFC

The Ticwatch Pro is one of the most interesting smartwatches on the market and its dual-screen technology is a genuinely innovative idea that combines the functionality of a traditional watch with the benefits of a top-end Wear OS device. With a mid-range price, a premium design, and lots of great features, the Ticwatch Pro is one of the best smartwatches you can buy.
FOR
Innovative screen technology
Premium design
Long battery life in Essential mode
AGAINST
The mediocre battery in smart mode
Limited Mobvoi app
No LTE version
Our favorite Wear OS watch is the Ticwatch Pro. You may not have heard of Ticwatch before, but the latest from the company it a top-end watch with a unique dual-screen feature.
There are two displays on this watch - one layered on top of the other. On the top is a transparent LCD display that can display the time, your heart rate, and more when the battery is low.
Below that is a bright and bold full-color OLED screen that will give you all of the benefits of Wear OS. That means you can have a normal smartwatch, which we found would last around two days, and then have the time and some other features still available when your battery is running low.
The second display really shines when you are running on a low battery. In our testing, we found that the TicWatch Pro lasted for just under a week when in low power mode. The second transparent LCD display may not have been needed, but it works just fine.
In terms of smartwatch features, there's GPS, NFC for Google Pay, Bluetooth for listening to music, and the slightly old Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 chipset in here running the watch as well.
The Ticwatch Pro costs Rs 22,999 in India, which makes it a noteworthy option if you don't mind the slightly old chipset that powers it.
WORLD'S BEST SMARTWATCH FOR A REASON
PRICE = ₹20900
OS: watchOS 5 | Compatibility: iOS | Display: 1.53" OLED | Processor: S2 dual-core | Band sizes: Varies drastically per watch size | Onboard storage: 8GB / 16GB (Non-LTE and LTE respectively) | Battery: 18 hours | Charging method: Wireless | IP rating: IPX7 | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC

The two versions of the Apple Watch 3 impress - but the cheaper, non-4G version of the wearable delivers good value for money and top fitness capabilities from the wrist.
FOR
Good smartwatch battery life
Clear, bright screen
Fantastic fitness features
AGAINST
Only iPhone compatible
Siri still patchy
High price for the 4G model
The Apple Watch 3 (or Apple Watch Series 3, if you're picky) was the best smartwatch but has recently been bumped off the top spot and down a few places since the launch of the Apple Watch 5.
The Apple Watch 3 is essentially just the Apple Watch 2 frame with some new innards... but they make a big difference. Plus the price has recently dropped, making this a much more attractive proposition now.
It's still water-resistant so you can swim with it and you won't have to worry about getting it wet in the rain when you're out for a jog. There's GPS onboard to make running that little bit easier plus, you can now upgrade to watchOS 5 too.
The Apple Watch 3 can be a little difficult to justify, especially now that the Watch 4 is here. However, if you still want an Apple Watch and don't want to spend a lot, Watch 3 is a good option.
Factoring in the new price drops, this one's a steal with all the features and battery life it has.
FULLY-LOADED WEAR OS WATCH AT BUDGET PRICES

Fossil Sport is a fantastic smartwatch for fitness lovers. However, the high price coupled with the lightweight design may put some more general users off. If you’re looking for a gym companion, though, it would be hard to find a better option.
FOR
Lightweight, comfortable design
Swim-proof
Powerful chipset
AGAINST
A little pricey
No high-end features
GPS can be slow to start
Thanks to the permanent price drop, Fossil Sport is now available for a more affordable price in India. In fact, this smartwatch is the cheapest with wear OS. The cherry on top here is the processor, the Fossil Sport is powered by a Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset, which also powers the flagship Fossil gen 5 line up.
With its high-end internals and lightweight design, it’s a gym companion that you won’t be able to put down. Thanks to the latest update, the watch can actually last up to 2 days on a single charge. Fossil Sport is best suited to users who prioritize health and fitness over style.
With Wear OS, you not only get to see the notification of your wrist, but you can also even reply to them from your watch itself. All this without even having to take your phone out. Also, there are a lot of other apps support as it belongs to Google’s ecosystem.
A SMALLER AND CHEAPER FITBIT ICONIC
PRICE = ₹13,399
OS: Fitbit OS | Compatibility: Android, iOS | Display: TBC, 1000 nits | Processor: Dual-core 1.0GHz | Onboard storage: 2.5GB | Battery duration: 3-4 days | Charging method: Proprietary charger | IP rating: 50M water resistant | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

While its feature set isn’t quite on par with that of its bigger brother the Ionic, the Fitbit Versa feels like the same watch but with a lighter and friendlier design and a much lower price point.
FOR
Lightweight design
Fitbit’s most customizable wearable
Relatively low price
AGAINST
Rounded design won't suit everyone
Battery life not as good as Ionic
No GPS
Fitbit has released Versa that is a touch smaller than the other one (that's the Ionic) but it comes with Fitbit Pay for contactless payments, 2.5GB of storage for music, and battery life that'll last around three days.
It doesn't have GPS for tracking your runs and the design doesn't feel as premium as some of the other watches on this list, but we really like the Fitbit Versa and it's one of the more affordable choices on this list.
Still, if the Versa doesn't work out for you, make sure you check out other options in this list - some of them even cost less than the Versa.
THE RIGHT BALANCE
PRICE = ₹14,995
Compatibility: Android 5+, iOS 10+ | Display: 1.06-inch e-ink | Battery duration: Up to 2 weeks | Charging method: Magnetic connecting pin | IP rating: 3 ATM | Connectivity: Bluetooth 5
Compatibility: Android 5+, iOS 10+ | Display: 1.06-inch e-ink | Battery duration: Up to 2 weeks | Charging method: Magnetic connecting pin | IP rating: 3 ATM | Connectivity: Bluetooth 5
An innovative approach to display
2-week battery life
Classy design

The Fossil Hybrid HR is a slightly different take on a hybrid, as it sits behind analog arms. It's quite literally a smartwatch behind a regular timepiece. This gives it 2-week battery life, but the conventional watch can go on for years without the smart features.
This is possible thanks to the e-ink display which consumes no energy most of the time. Yes, it's a little slim on functionality where you can't really respond to notifications, but does show you all messages and emails in a comfortable fashion.
The lower price at about Rs 15K, combined with a 2-week battery life makes it an interesting proposition for those who may not need a full-fledged smartwatch.
THE SPORTY SAMSUNG WATCH GAINS SOME STYLE
PRICE = ₹22,990
OS: Tizen OS | Compatibility: Android, iOS | Display: 1.2" or 1.3" 360 x 360 Super AMOLED | Processor: Dual-core 1.15GHz | Band sizes: 22mm or 20mm | Onboard storage: 4GB | Battery duration: 4 days on 46mm / less on 42mm | Charging method: Wireless | IP rating: 50m | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

The Galaxy Watch is Samsung's most refined smartwatch due to its helpful fitness tracking and four-day battery life – if you opt for the larger 46mm size that we liked and recommend. All of this is packaged inside a sophisticated-looking circular silver-and-black smartwatch that has a rotating bezel for effortless menu navigation. Be warned, third-party apps are lacking and its iOS support is limited if you're using an iPhone. This is best for Samsung fans.
FOR
Impressive four-day battery life
Great core smartwatch software
Rotating bezel cycles through UI
AGAINST
Proprietary wireless charger
Bixby has proven to be terrible again
No Google Maps, WhatsApp, FB Messenger
Coming in a close second from Samsung, it's the Galaxy Watch. Following on from the Gear S3 series and the Gear Sport in 2017, the Galaxy Watch is much improved.
We've tested out the larger 46mm version of the watch and were impressed with its battery life - in our testing, it lasted four days despite being used extensively. That's impressive considering a lot of other watches on this list last a day or so from a single charge.
The rotating bezel remains a highlight of navigating around the Tizen OS on the watch, and the interface is one of the easiest to pick up that we've seen on a smartwatch.
Apps available on the watch are more limited than Wear OS or watchOS 4 - two rival smartwatch operating systems - but it still offers a satisfying experience. It offers a great smartwatch experience, has plenty of fitness features and the design is good - there's not much more you can ask from a smartwatch.
PRICE = ₹11,990
Compatibility: Android, iOS | Display: 1.39-inch 454 x 454 Pixels AMOLED | Processor: Kirin A1 | Band sizes: 22mm straps | Onboard storage: 4GB | Battery duration: Two weeks | Charging method: Proprietary | IP rating: : 5ATM | Connectivity: Bluetooth, GPS

Huawei’s Watch GT 2e is a surprisingly solid and versatile fitness tracker that also serves up smartwatch staples like viewing notifications, swapping watch faces, storing music, and checking the weather, making it a useful companion for your next workout. It also delivers on its promise of long battery life. However, there’s not much point in buying one if you’re not into fitness.
FOR
Long battery life
Great fitness tracking
Affordable price
AGAINST
Limited software functionality
Limited compatibility with iOS devices
No third-party apps
Huawei’s Watch GT 2e is a solid and versatile fitness tracker that also serves up smartwatch staples like viewing notifications, swapping watch faces, adding music, and checking the weather, making it a useful companion for your next workout.
The watch also delivers on its promise of long battery life. It packs in a lot of features such as an AMOLED display, GPS, and continuous heart rate monitoring, as well as the ability to track a multitude of sporting activities. However, there’s not much point in buying one if you’re not into fitness.
When looking at the best smartwatches for you, you're somewhat limited by the smartphone you own. If you want an Apple Watch, for instance, you'll need to have an iPhone. And while Wear OS watches work with both Android and iPhones, you get far less functionality when not connected to an Android device.
Samsung's smartwatches offer the greatest in terms of cross-functionality, but even here, Android phone owners will get more in terms of replies to notifications and the ability to make and receive phone calls.
After that, when picking a smartwatch, you also want to get one that fits your wrist comfortably. Those with smaller wrists may find larger smartwatches — ones with case sizes larger than 44mm — to be too bulky and cumbersome to wear.
After that, you want to find a smartwatch that fits your style. Although the Apple Watch is limited to one shape, you can purchase it in different finishes. Samsung's smartwatches offer a little more choice, while Wear OS watches, which are made by a number of companies including Fossil, Skagen, Kate Spade, Moto, Tag Heuer, Diesel, and others, give you many more options when it comes to their design.
So, that's all, I hope you liked this post. If I missed something let me know in the comment section down below. See you soon. Good Bye!
