now believe it or not one of the biggest questions we get on social media is what spart watch should you get this holiday season and this is a rather interesting topic particularly because smartwatches are still in their infancy they're not necessarily great products but then again some of them are extremely compelling for what they can do so we're going to try to help you out with this video pick the best one I'm hi Natalie better with pocket now here with a quick count to choose the best SmartWatch for you this holiday season there are two very important questions when choosing a SmartWatch number one the platform because not all smartwatches work with all smartphones and you actually need for these to connect so yeah the Apple watch doesn't work with Android but it's the opposite case with Android wear for example but the second and most important question is what you want the SmartWatch for one of the biggest questions I get on Twitter is which SmartWatch is best for fitness and you'll be surprised at how few of these smartwatches actually get fitness right others are just for notifications for example so it all depends on your needs to start Android wear is the honest of the crowd but that's not necessarily a bad thing because well if you want elegant smartwatches Android where it's got your back the problem is these are the worst products when it comes to fitness because most of these just track you but don't necessarily help you finish a workout or assist you in any way or actually serve as a full heart rate monitor they've got sensors but that's pretty much it but yeah if you're out for stylish SmartWatch or something that looks really good in the dust notifications really well then hey you've got the Moto 360 second generation you've got the LG watch urbane you've got the huawei watch which is gorgeous and there are a ton of options out there when it comes to style that's the best thing about android where you can actually pick the one you want and that fits your needs best when it comes to design now if you are on a budget then Android wear also has your back there are other watches that are extremely affordable like the azuz send watch too which is a really nice watch indeed but also there affordable and then the good thing about android where is that hasn't really changed in the past two years as a platform per se but when it comes to hardware and its needs so hey I'm still using last year's Moto 360 and I'm really happy with it I feel that I don't need to upgrade so if you find a good deal when it comes to last year's offerings yeah you can also go for that you'll most likely be good with these for a good amount of time and the only problem you'll probably notice is that yeah you'll have a clunky experience when it comes to certain aspects of the operating system particularly hey and the old moto 360 or in the 1st LG G watch for example don't go too cheap with Android wear again if you can afford a little more and buy something that's elegant for you and that's going to last you for a bit then yet spend on that if you want to live up to your true inner geek there is no better option than Samsung's gear offerings that are based on Tizen and the reason why is because these are not the best looking smart watches out there but they're the ones that can do everything if you want to make phone calls there's the gear s and there is the cellular capable gear s2 but even better is the fact that number one there is a bevy of applications that already supports Tizen for these watches and the other is that these watches actually bring sensors that are useful for fitness particularly if you want to use the gear s2 for a run you actually can leave your phone at home and I'm actually talking about the non-cellular capable watch you can actually use it for a full run and then just sync everything you can sync your music to it you connect your headset to it and it's actually extremely useful as a watch on its own without meaning to be connected to the phone but yes connected to the phone and can do even more things these are not the most affordable watches indeed but they can do a ton of things and they could do with ton of things right particularly the gear s2 this is the one we would most recommend if you want to go all out I mean the user interface is nice again the apps are good and the functionality is actually not bad at all all you have to do is make up your mind whether you want the sports very enter the classic and then you're good to go pretty much now the king of smartwatches is the Apple watch but not necessarily for all the right reasons did a really good job at marketing the watch but it's not necessarily the best looking one are the one that's the most capable it's still waiting for application support from developers and the fact that it's not really selling well tells you a lot now hey it is really good for a few things like for example fitness the Apple watch actually has its own application that's separate to the phone that can control your fitness activities and it also has a full heart rate sensor as well you can also sync your music to it and actually go for a run without the need of a phone which is a really great option as well the biggest problem with the Apple watch is that this is a first generation product it is clunky in certain things it can't do other things really well and the biggest problem is that its hardware is not the best and it's extremely overpriced this is actually one of those products that we would recommend that unless you find the really good deal for the sports variant I think it's best for you to actually wait for the Apple watch to which could be happening somewhere around next year particularly for its price but the best thing about the SmartWatch market is that there are a ton of other players out there that are really good at it like for example pebble which is one of the pioneers we've got the pebble time and the pebble time round which a really good SmartWatch is when it comes to looks and when it comes to the notifications but they're not the best when it comes to fitness but in the other opposite direction is Microsoft where they have a really good fitness wearable with the Microsoft band too but it's not necessarily the best when it comes to other things like looks for example or feel in the arm but hey if you're looking for a really good fitness wearable that's cross-platform then yeah the Microsoft band who is a good option and finally you also have other options from other companies that just dedicate to this like for example garmin garmin's vibo lineup is extremely good when it comes to fitness I would say the best ones out there but not necessarily great with other things and then you also have the Fitbit line about there like for example in the case of the Fitbit surge it's not the best smart watch out there and it doesn't look really well either but it's really good when it comes to fitness as well so again it all depends on what needs you have bottom line I guess this is the best way to end this video your needs determine everything at my personal experience I could tell you this much I've been using smart watches for the past two years and I really can find myself going a day without them they're extremely useful if you're able to pick right if you want good looks there are good options out there if you want fitness tracking there are other good options out there it all depends on your needs just remember you really don't need a smart watch but these things are getting really cool and really useful over time anyways that's it for this video thank you very much for watching and again there is a very
