Check Out These 15 Stylish Android Smartwatches
The best Android smartwatches provide the convenience of a smartphone and double as a stylish men’s fashion accessory. And if you’re looking for a gym companion to play music and track your workouts so you can keep up on this year’s fitness goals, most of the watches below can do that too.
We’re going to review the best smartwatches for Android users. Strictly speaking, not all of these watches are running on the Android operating system (known as Google’s Android Wear OS), which means some of them aren’t true Android watches. However, to the average customer, this distinction doesn’t really matter. All that matters is whether that new watch can sync up with Android devices, and since some of the smartwatches running on Wear OS leave something to be desired, we wanted to provide a range of options.
For Android users, all of these watches provide a lot of style and utility but won’t cost you an arm and a leg to own. To elevate your wardrobe and improve your quality of life, consider one of the best Android smartwatches for your wrist.
1. Skagen Falster 3 Smartwatch
If you want a touch of Scandinavian minimalism in your life, look no further than the Skagen Falster 3. This sharp-looking watch is built on top of Fossil’s Gen 5 smartwatch template and runs Google’s Wear OS, which means that it makes no compromises when it comes to being the best Android smartwatch around. In addition to features such as GPS, heart rate monitoring, contactless payments, this watch has a fully swim-proof design and the inclusion of a mic means that it can take calls and interact with Google Assistant.

2. Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2
When you combine features, style and affordability, it’s hard to beat the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2. This product keeps you looking sharp whether you’re in a suit or at the gym (for bonus style points, opt for the rose gold over the classic black). When you’re using it as a fitness tracker, it has onboard music storage so you can ditch your phone while you exercise. It’s also smart enough to track a run for you even when you forget to fire up the right app. The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 receives your phone’s notifications and even allows you to scroll through social media to keep up with your digital life. And even with great utility and style, it’s also affordable. For obvious reasons, this watch is designed to work best on Samsung devices, but it will function well with Android products, too. For this reason, this is a great selection for Android users.

9.Garmin Venu Sq
The Garmin Venu Sq is more about utility than it is about design, but some people don’t like to be overly stylish or flashy. It has over 20 pre-loaded workouts for tracing as well as heart rate zones to help you maximize your workouts. You can even track your recovery with SpO2 and sleep tracking. It’s a pretty stripped-down watch as far as esthetics — you won’t be turning any heads in the office, but for around $200, it’s a pretty good Android Smartwatch for fitness gurus.
Buy: Garmin Venu Sq $189.99
10. Garmin Lily
For those with smaller wrists and hands, big bulky watches are heavy and uncomfortable. Thankfully, the Garmin Lily fills that gap with a stylish Android smartwatch with plenty of features and none of the bulk. Health nuts will appreciate the breathing, energy level and stress monitoring features as well as the Sp02 sensor after long work outs. There are even a handful of widgets and notifications like sending an emergency contact your location in the event of an emergency or seeing your calendar for the day.

12. Fitbit Ionic
The Fitbit Ionic is a great choice for those who value fitness and health. It’s the only Fitbit in their smartwatch line that features onboard GPS to accurately track distance and pace while you run. And taking the extra step, onboard music storage lets you ditch your phone while it provides the playlist you need to get through your workout. It has many of the same features as the Versa 2 (minus Alexa, alas), but it has more training capabilities. It’s a little bit more square and less stylish than similar fitness trackers, but if training is your motivation, style is likely on the backburner. Android users running Android 5.0 and up can sync up with their phone to receive notifications on their wrist.
Buy: Fitbit Ionic $179.99
13. Michael Kors Access Bradshaw 2
Some people want a watch that doesn’t scream “look at this new piece of technology I’m wearing!” Enter the Michael Kors Access Bradshaw 2. Although this designer men’s watch does boast plenty of smart capabilities, it looks like a premium metal watch that’s closer to business and formal attire than a smartwatch. The stylish Android smartwatch runs on Wear OS and is available in four colors: gunmetal, rose gold, silver and gold. While it looks great, this accessory also provides a smooth user experience. The performance is equally as impressive with onboard music storage, GPS and even the ability to take calls from your wrist. If you’re willing to drop the extra coin on this stylish timepiece, you’ll be rewarded with more than a great-looking timepiece. With Wear OS and classic styling, this is one of the best Android smartwatches for sale right now.

Although its other smart features are rather limited, it does make for a great fitness tracking watch.
