Best smartwatches for Android phones
Galaxy Watch and Pixel Watch run Wear OS, so you get Google Wallet, Maps and proper app support. Samsung's health features work best with a Samsung phone. If you would rather charge weekly than nightly, Garmin and Huawei work with any Android phone and give up apps for battery.
Best for most people
1. Samsung Galaxy Watch8 (44mm)
44mm, cushion design · Energy Score, sleep coaching · Personal running coach · Bluetooth
The best all-round Android watch, with Samsung's slimmest design yet, a daily Energy Score, bedtime guidance and a personal fitness coach. It runs Wear OS, so Google apps and payments are on board. Some health features work best with a Samsung phone.
Best for Pixel phones (renewed)
2. Google Pixel Watch 3 (45mm)
Wear OS · 24 hours (36 in Battery Saver) · Actua, 40% larger · Fitbit advanced running · Renewed
The Pixel Watch 3 pairs a bigger, brighter Actua screen with Fitbit's running tools and real-time workout guidance. It is the natural pick for Pixel owners and anyone who wants Google's own take on Wear OS. Battery life is about a day, so expect to charge it nightly. This listing is renewed rather than new.
Best rugged (renewed)
3. Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (LTE, 47mm)
100m · 1.5" Super AMOLED · 32GB · Renewed · LTE
Samsung's toughest watch, with 100m water resistance, a titanium silver case, 32GB of storage and LTE so it can work away from your phone. Fast wireless charging helps keep it topped up. The SIM is not included, so you will need a mobile plan to use LTE. This listing is renewed rather than new.
Best Wear OS battery life
4. TicWatch Pro 5
Built-in · Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 · 5 ATM · Up to 80 hours
A Wear OS watch for people who want more than a day between charges, thanks to a dual-layer display and an 80-hour claimed battery life. A rotating crown and Snapdragon W5+ chip keep it quick to use. It only supports Android phones and pairs through the Mobvoi Health app.
Best budget
5. Huawei Watch Fit 5
NFC, GPS · Fall detection · Up to 10 days · 1.82" AMOLED
A light, slim watch for Android users who want long battery life, GPS and fall detection without paying flagship money. The 1.82-inch AMOLED screen reaches 2500 nits, so it stays readable in sunlight. Huawei's app store is small, so do not expect Wear OS-style apps.
Best renewed
6. Samsung Galaxy Watch5 (44mm, Renewed)
44mm · Sapphire crystal · 0-45% in about 30 minutes · Renewed
A renewed Galaxy Watch5 is the low-cost way into a proper Wear OS watch, with sleep and snore tracking and Samsung's BioActive sensor. The sapphire crystal front resists scratches well. As an older renewed model, it may show light wear and will get fewer updates than the Watch8.
Nothing matches those filters. Try fewer filters, or search for a brand like "MSI" or "Crucial".
How we rank
Ordered by how well each sells in its Amazon UK category, what the listing confirms (specs, battery, compatibility, sizes), and price. We have not handled these products: the write-ups rest on what each listing states. Prices and stock are checked daily.
Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Each Amazon UK price shows the date and time it was checked. We earn a small commission if you buy through our links, at no cost to you. It never changes the order. More about how we work.
