The 10 Best Women's Smartwatches of 2020

No plastic and silicone, only leather, glass and steel - this is how the developers of KingWear KW10 expressed their protest against the standard look of smart watches, which was once borrowed from sports watches and fitness trackers. The owner of KW10 has no need to figure out how to dress so that the smart accessory is in harmony with the outfit - it looks solid with any set. In addition, a variety of colors and combinations of leather and steel are available for purchase.

The display draws special attention. Due to the huge number of shades, their saturation and contrast, women often attribute Amoled technology to it, but in fact it is a good old IPS screen with a diagonal of 0.96 "and a resolution of 240x198. The positioning of the device as completely waterproof according to the IP68 standard is also pleasing. But what upsets sensitive women hearts is the lack of instructions in Russian and the device's unwillingness to receive notifications from some applications, for example, from Facebook and Instagram.

The hot offers of last year, IWO 2‒7, had not yet cooled down, when another novelty IWO 8 popped up in 2019, and not just one, but with a “ten” girlfriend.There are still few reviews of the latest version, apparently, they are still looking at it, but 8 managed to impress women with the same resemblance to 4th generation “apple” gadgets, a very affordable price and, most importantly, functionality corresponding to a decent appearance . And the design is really amazing for a Chinese replica - what is the aluminum case and glass IPS display, ceramic back cover with a heart rate sensor and wireless charging included.

Compared to previous models, IWO 8 has better implemented display animations, but their choice of demanding users is still not satisfying. In addition, the developers tried to improve the quality of communication with the smartphone via bluetooth, and they more than succeeded - the clock “flies” much less often than it happened with the “sixes”. The heart rate monitor began to work much more accurately, and the sleep tracking function also works quite truthfully. Only an ECG device is ready to make even a table, moreover, it can show that it is normal. Sports features are standard: the watch keeps track of the steps taken, calories burned, and, if necessary, gives a signal about the need to be active. As an organizer and smart assistant, they are also good. All in all, we still recommend the IWO Smart Watch to the female audience who dream of a real “apple” on their wrist, but can't afford it yet.

Most smart watches are very bulky and heavy, which is why not all users decide to conduct a study of their sleep patterns.From this point of view, fitness bracelets are more compact and convenient, but they lack all the advantages of smart watches. The main feature of the "smart" Versa from Fitbit is their lightness, thanks to which the watch does not interfere with sound sleep and at the same time accurately reads information about its continuity, duration, sleep phases. The gadget is also capable of monitoring daily activity, that is, counting steps, calories burned, heart rate and tracking physical activities (15 sports are taken into account).

If we add to these functions receiving notifications from the phone, listening to music via a bluetooth headset (the amount of built-in free memory is approximately 2.5 GB) and a women's health monitoring program, we get quite functional "smarts". With their help, it is easier and faster to achieve your goal, switch to a healthier lifestyle, and create a community of like-minded people who also use the Fitbit Versa model. The design of the watches is thought out in such a way that they do not attract too much attention, but if desired, they can be customized at any time thanks to a large selection of straps and dials.

The Finnish manufacturer of sports heart rate monitors has also decided to participate in the “arms race” with smartwatches and introduced a new smart model M430. Its appearance and functionality clearly hint at belonging to sports goods. The most important advantage of the gadget is a high-precision optical sensor that allows you to measure heart rate by simply placing the case on your wrist.Directly during the lesson, a woman receives all the data about her training: start and end times, intensity, load tolerance. You can safely study while waiting for an important call or message - a smart assistant will display a notification on the screen and remind you of the event from the scheduler. True, you can’t answer through a wrist gadget, for this you still have to take a smartphone.

The gadget also monitors daily activity: the quality of sleep, the time spent awake in a lying or sitting position, minor movements around the house and walks outside of it. This information allows you to more accurately understand your own lifestyle, achieve balance, give the body time to recover. It is very interesting to periodically take various fitness tests in order to understand the dynamics of development and, if necessary, improve it. Despite the heftiness, “smarts” are very convenient, the information on the monochrome screen is read perfectly, the watch’s waterproofness is also good: you don’t have to take them off to take a shower.

In appearance, these watches are strikingly reminiscent of the famous Apple - the same square case with rounding, the same color palette and a beautiful reflection of sapphire crystal. This similarity is very popular with young women who are not yet able to acquire the original. A closer acquaintance with the replica of users also does not disappoint: they look quite decent on the hand, the build quality is very good, and the declared functionality, judging by the numerous reviews, is worked out 100%. And they know how not so little:

• instantly pair with your Android/iOS device;
• understand control commands through a responsive sensor;
• show notifications from the smartphone when it is not available;
• switch tracks in the player, show the exact time, track the number of steps, etc.

But most importantly, thanks to the support of a SIM card, they can be used as a smartphone and quickly track messages on social networks or communicate with an interlocutor on a speakerphone, being, for example, driving. With normal use, a 380 mAh battery lasts for 1-1.5 days - you don’t have to live next to a power outlet. There are complaints about the built-in camera - one and a half megapixels is still not enough, and its presence can be considered symbolic. In general, if you want to amuse female pride with a fashionable gadget and are ready for a small compromise, take a closer look at the Chinese copy, it is definitely worth the money.

A striking representative of the so-called neoclassic is the Noerden Mate2 hybrid watch. The brand did not adapt to the market leaders and unexpectedly introduced to the market a model with a classic “pointer” dial instead of a screen. The performance is worthy of the best Swiss traditions: a round steel case, sapphire glass, pleasant strap material and perfect fitting of all elements make it clear that the manufacturer has thoroughly worked on the appearance of his offspring.

At the same time, the functionality was not forgotten - Mate2 fully complies with the definition of a smart watch.So, the model collects a database of daily activity, allows you to make the most of Bluetooth capabilities (search for a lost smartphone, control the camera and player). Someone in them lacks backlighting, someone complains about the lack of NFC, and someone complains about the instability of the connection and weak vibration. In general, everyone agrees on the same opinion: absolutely all minor sins can be forgiven for these beauties, they look so solid on a woman's hand and cope so well with the task of a smart assistant.

Usually, smartwatches from the Middle Kingdom suffer from poor visibility in bright light. But the next creation from the famous Chinese giant Xiaomi - the "smart" Amazfit Bip - is completely devoid of this drawback. Due to the application of a special polymer film-transflector, its display shows equally well both at dusk and sunny weather, and also saves battery power. Energy-saving technologies and increased battery capacity allow the watch to perform its functions for 1.5 months (!). Their unique survivability is confirmed by reviews - on average, no more than 4% of the charge is consumed per day.

The model provides full control of physical activity: reads the pulse, monitors sleep, counts the exercises, displays the results and performs their comparative analysis. But unlike conventional fitness bracelets, smart watches allow you to leave your smartphone at home during a workout, while staying up to date with current events, receiving messages and reminders from it.Despite the impressive autonomy and functionality, the watch does not look bulky on a woman's hand, it is presented in 4 successful colors, and the strap is made of high-quality soft silicone. With the advent of a full-fledged firmware with the Russian language in 2018, they can be considered an excellent choice.

If you, like other active women, are tired of exercising with a smartphone in your pocket or in your hand, get a Vivoactive HR smartwatch with a sports bias. They are produced by an American company known for a rich assortment of navigators and other useful gadgets for outdoor activities. Whether you're running, swimming or snowboarding, indoors or outdoors, your smartwatch will track your exact performance and provide personalized recommendations to improve your performance. Even for those people who are far from sports, the device will serve as an incentive for additional activity, show notifications from a smartphone, and deal with the playlist.

The main advantage of the model is its impeccable GPS positioning, which works offline. If you stop during the training, the device will instantly determine this by the coordinate system and automatically stop the calculation. Even golf enthusiasts will surely appreciate it - the watch is so smart that it will recommend the direction of the shot and display the score on a well-readable contrast screen. In general, they are praised for their functionality, autonomy, water resistance, but scolded for their thick body and lack of sound.To sum up, the Garmin Vivoactive HR can be compared to a strict trainer who will push you in training, give you an achievement for achievement, and raise the bar again tomorrow.

Smart watch Watch Active is one of the most inexpensive offers not only in the Samsung line, but in the whole market. The first thing they pay attention to in this device is its compactness. In a company with a pink or silver version, it kind of hints at its main audience, and as practice shows, women really like watches. However, in the blue-green and black versions, they acquire the proper severity, so they are definitely suitable for men. A significant advantage of the gadget is an advanced user interface based on the Tizen OS and the OneUI shell, which in 2019 began to be supplied with all flagship smartphones from Samsung.

Despite its diminutive size, focus on a female audience and, for some, a frivolous design, the watch received shock protection at the level of the US military standard MIL-STD-810G. In addition, the manufacturer indicates that they are not afraid of rain, showering, and even short-term immersion in water to a depth of 50 m. In the reviews, users confirm that they swam several times without removing the accessory and did not find any problems after that. They also note pleasant control - even though the model is devoid of a branded bezel, but the interaction with the display is flawless.

The third generation of Apple Watch has been pleasing its fans with additional sensors and operating modes for quite a long time. A reliable 38-mm aluminum case and a thin silicone strap are practically not felt on a woman's hand, and a discreet design allows you to wear smart phones even to the office, even for training, and finally get rid of attachment to the phone. For example, you don't have to pick up your iPhone when you need to read a message, dictate a reply, download via Wi-Fi and listen to music, or answer a call. However, all the functions in a short review can not be counted.

The troika differs from the previous 1st series in the water resistance of the case (IPX7) - according to reviews, it really withstands swimming in the pool, after which the speakers “spit out” the accumulated water. Another watch constantly monitors the work of the heart. Of course, they are not so smart as to make a ready-made diagnosis for their owner, but they will definitely warn about problems with heart rhythm. This feature is especially useful for men over 40, but it will not hurt women either. The OLED display with an oleophobic coating and increased scratch resistance is clearly visible even in bright sunlight. As for autonomy, the Apple Watch Series 3 can work without recharging for 3 days, however, a lot depends on user activity.
