iOS, so it makes sense to buy one of these

Apple Watch on the market? It probably won't be a huge surprise to learn that it's the newest one

The Apple Watch 5 is the device that offers the best selection of features within Apple's range, but it's not a cheap option.It's

currently the most expensive Apple Watch, and the biggest upgrade for that is the fact you'll get an always-on display.This doesn't drain

your battery life as much as you may expect as the watch will dim its screen to offer you notifications on your wrist at all times rather

than you having to raise it and wake it up to see your stats.WatchOS 6 is available on the watch, so you can downloads apps directly to your

wrist and it comes with a compass feature for the very first time.If you own an Apple Watch 4, there's not much reason to upgrade here but

if you own an older Apple Watch or you're looking to get your first smartwatch this may be a solid option for you.Read the full Apple Watch

Apple Watch 4Once best Apple Watch money can buyOS: watchOS 5 | Compatibility: iOS | Display: 1.78" OLED | Processor: Apple S4 | Band sizes:

Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, LTELarger displayLightweight designBattery could be betterDoesn't offer always-onThe introduction of

the Apple Watch 5 may have seen the Apple Watch 4 drop in terms of pure excitement, but it's not cheaper than ever and it's not all that

disimilar to the latest device.This was the first smartwatch from the company to increase the display size to a 1.78-inch OLED

That looks great on your wrist, and the device comes in either 44mm or 40mm versions.We particularly liked that the speaker is louder, plus

money you may want to look at the Apple Watch 4 over the latest addition to the range.Read our full Apple Watch 4 reviewImage 1 of 5Image

Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, LTEGood battery lifeClear, bright screenOnly iPhone compatibleSiri still patchyThe Apple Watch 3 was of

course the best smartwatch to use with an iPhone but it's not the best anymore

Even though you can now buy the Apple Watch 4 and 5, this is still a fantastic smartwatch.The Series 3 has a bright, high-quality screen,

built-in GPS, waterproofing, optical heart rate monitoring and well over a day of battery life, plus all the things that make the Apple

with style and substance, suited to both the office and the gym

And of course, being an Apple Watch, it works perfectly with iPhone.Read our full Apple Watch 3 reviewImage Credit: TheIndianSubcontinent 4

Apple Watch Series 2Good, but difficult to find for a good priceOS: watchOS 5 | Compatibility: iOS | Display: 1.53" OLED | Processor: Apple

Battery: A day and a half | Charging method: Wireless | IP rating: Water-resistant to 50m | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,

NFCWater-resistantGPS onboardExpensiveLack of useful appsThere's a lot going for the Apple Watch 2

It's water-resistant, which means it's more durable than many of the other devices on this list and you won't have to worry about

getting it wet in the rain when you're out for a jog.With GPS onboard and watchOS 5 software running on it, if you own an iPhone this is a

find and often if you do spot it at a third-party retailer it'll be around the same price or sometimes even more expensive than the watch

just above this one.Read our full Apple Watch 2 reviewWear OS and Tizen watchesA variety of other devices work with your iPhone too

We've listed them below including watches that are running both Wear OS and Tizen software.Earlier this year, Google renamed its Android

Wear platform to Wear OS and said a good amount of the most recent devices running the software will be toting the new name in the coming

iPhone now as well

isn't greatThe latest Samsung watch is our favorite money can buy right now, but it's not our favorite to recommend alongside an iPhone

We found the Galaxy Watch to work best with Samsung phones, but if you own an iPhone it'll still work really well and will offer top-end

fitness features alongside its premium look.We particularly like the design of the larger Galaxy Watch, but you have the choice of either a

46mm or 42mm build

Each will sit large on your wrist but also offer a big, bright display.Opt for the LTE version and you'll be able to get phone calls and

notifications when you're on the move too

The rotating bezel around the outside is one of the main highlights, and the 46mm version also comes with four days of battery life from a

single charge.It may not be the best smartwatch to work with your iPhone, but it is still a fantastic choice if you like the design and look

of the Galaxy Watch from Samsung.Read the full Samsung Galaxy Watch reviewImage 1 of 4Image credit: TheIndianSubcontinent Image 2 of 4Image

chipset that offers enough power to run any of the apps you'll find in Wear OS, and in our experience we found the whole interface to be

notably smooth.It'll last for around two days from a single charge, and the design here feels premium on the wrist when you consider how

much it costs compared to other Wear OS watches.There isn't much uniqueness to the Fossil Sport, but it's good at pretty much everything

you'd expect a smartwatch to do and it'll work with your iPhone too.Read the full Fossil Sport reviewImage 1 of 3(Image credit:

is one of the more affordable devices on this list, and it's worth noting that this isn't the most premium looking device

That said, it's still a fantastic Wear OS watch.It offers solid battery life as well as built-in GPS, an accurate heart rate sensor and

sleep tracking as well.The latest Wear OS software is running on the watch too, but you won't be able to get contactless payments as there's

no NFC on this watch.Read the full TicWatch E2 reviewImage 1 of 5Image Credit: Mobvoi Image 2 of 5Image Credit: Mobvoi Image 3 of 5Image

techPremium designLimited appNo LTE featuresOur favorite Wear OS watch is the TicWatch Pro, which you can use easily with your iPhone

TicWatch is a little known brand so far, but this watch comes with two different displays that helps it stand out from the rest of the

crowd.There's a transparent LCD display at the top with a full color OLED panel below it

That means you can get a full Wear OS watch experience with the TicWatch Pro, but when the battery dies off you can then still get some

details like heart rate, date and time through the secondary display.That's a great feature - but there's lots else to love here

including GPS, NFC for Google Pay and the Snapdragon Wear 2100 chipset we've seen in almost all the Wear OS watches on this list.The best

part is the lower price than a lot of other top-end smartwatches, which makes this one of the best Wear OS choices to use alongside your

iPhone.Read the full TicWatch Pro reviewOther alternativesThere are quite a few devices you can use with your iPhone including some running

Fitbit OS and others that you may not even refer directly to as a smartwatch

The Fitbit Versa 2 is slimmer and smaller on your wrist than an Apple Watch and offers a lot of great fitness features including swim

tracking as well as HIIT coaching.The Versa 2 is also cheaper than Fitbit's other watch called the Ionic (which you'll find coming up in

this list) making it an attractive option for your wallet as well as your wrist.Fitbit OS isn't as fully fledged as the Wear OS or Apple

Watch devices above in this list as there are still a limited amount of apps available to you, but if you want to have a watch as a fashion

piece and focus on the fitness elements you'll enjoy the Versa 2.It allows you to listen to music on the move, plus you have Fitbit Pay so

you can do contactless payments if your bank supports it

Our main gripe with the Versa 2 is the lack of GPS, but if you plan to exercise with your phone in your pocket or strapped to your arm it
