Even with the release of the second generation Apple Watch SE, the first generation Apple Watch SE is a smartwatch worthy of purchasing. It still holds its own in terms of features, with all of the tracking capabilities the Apple Watch lineup has become known for, including the ability to track tai chi and pilates workouts, in addition to things like running, yoga, swimming and dance.

Not only is it a great alternative to something like the Apple Watch SE, but the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 stands alone as a well-priced yet premium fitness tracker.

It’s able to do each of these automatically and with advanced detail. It’s capable of providing body composition analysis, which will help you crush your wellness goals with body readings right on your wrist. This should be an especially attractive option if you have other Samsung devices, as the Galaxy Watch 4 can slip right into your Samsung device ecosystem.

The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro Titanium comes in at the higher end of the Galaxy Watch lineup. It has all of the great features you’ll find in the Aluminum model, as well as things like the ability to become an extension of your Galaxy smartphone, and to sync with other Galaxy mobile devices. Advanced sleep coaching, improved sensor accuracy, auto workout tracking, and enhanced GPS are par for the course with the new Galaxy Watch 5, and interchangeable bands and faces make it as versatile during a night out on the town as it is using a hike through the mountains. This Pro Titanium model also includes LTE, and is a little larger than the Aluminum model.

The Apple Watch Series 8 is no longer the newest Apple Watch on the market with the release of the Apple Watch Series 9, but there isn’t much dropoff from the Series 9 to the Series 8. The Series 8 has a sleek, comfortable design that looks as good for a night out on the town as it does for a run on the trail. Advanced sensors provide insights to better help you understand your health. Innovative safety features are included, such as crash detection and fall detection, and the Apple Watch Series 8 integrates seamlessly with all of your Apple Devices. If you’re in search of one of the best smartwatches and want something that fits right in with your already-existing Apple devices, software, and synchronization, there’s not many better options the Apple Watch Series 8 makes a more affordable option than newer releases out there.

The Apple Watch Ultra is a more recent addition to the Apple Watch lineup, and while there’s a newer Apple Watch Ultra 2 available, we think the original Apple Watch Ultra is still a big, exciting, overwhelming success.

It does everything the Series 8 can do, and it comes with LTE cellular capability standard. This will allow you to interact with your web-based world without the need for a wifi connection, making it a great option for travelers and people who like the wander the unbeaten trail.
