Naturally, the first thing you’ll want to consider when buying a smartwatch is compatibility.<\/p>\n
All Apple Watch models run watchOS, Apple’s smartwatch operating system, and connect strictly to iOS-powered devices, meaning they’re iPhone-only. The Series 7, Apple’s latest flagship model, requires an iPhone 6s or later, running iOS 15 or later.<\/p>\n
Samsung’s latest smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch4 and Watch4 Classic, run the new Wear OS platform, and only work with Android. They require a smartphone running Android 6.0 or later with 1.5GB of RAM, a departure from 2020’s Watch3, which also worked with iPhones.<\/p>\n
All the other models on this list work with both Android and iOS smartphones<\/p>\n
What Should You Pay for a Smartwatch?
\nSmartwatches might be costly, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot of cash to obtain a nice one. Yes, the $1,229 Apple Watch Herm\u00e8s will get a lot of attention, but you could get five Fitbits for that amount.<\/p>\n
If you’re buying a smartwatch for the first time, you might want to consider opting with a less expensive option in case you don’t use it very often. The $20 Wyze Watch and the $159 OnePlus Watch are two inexpensive choices, but before you invest your money on either, read our evaluations to understand their limits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
