The best smartwatches for girls in 2021 - Apple, Garmin or Samsung?

Most of all, the devices differ in the shape of the display used and the material from which the strap is made. And this is the case when it is difficult to recommend any specific model. We can only say that the Huawei product will seem to many girls the least interesting. This is due both to the round display and the design of the strap - the watch seems more masculine than feminine.

Especially for this comparison, we have selected the lightest smartwatches. As a result, they do not cause much discomfort. Especially the model from Xiaomi, which turned out to be quite a fluff. Not to mention the great color variety. This is also important. The body of the "apple" gadget can be painted in one of seven colors! Garmin products offer the same number of options. In the case of other devices, there is a similar, albeit slightly less abundance. We also note the existence of a large number of varieties of watch straps from Apple and Samsung.

Usually smart watches are on the wrist in any weather. And they are often used to fix workouts related to water sports.In this regard, one should not be surprised that all the models we have chosen are fully protected from water ingress. Their manufacturers claim that the case will withstand a pressure of 5 atmospheres. However, not all devices are designed for swimming in salt water! Samsung warns that their device may still refuse to work after this. Therefore, if you regularly swim in the sea, it is better not to even consider buying a Galaxy Watch4.

As mentioned above, the clocks we have chosen differ from each other in the shape of the screen. Huawei and Samsung have it round. This makes the device the best choice for a person who does not want to draw too much attention to himself. There is no doubt that many will feel like you have a traditional watch on your wrist. However, this does not mean that this option is preferable. It’s not for nothing that Apple Watch has been equipped with a square display for many years, but at the same time it is very popular.

The smallest screen is at the disposal of the South Korean device.At the same time, everything is in order with the resolution, in connection with which many messages are placed on the display in their entirety. It is impossible not to note the protective coating, which is a new type of glass Gorilla Glass. However, to harm the Apple watch screen is also worth trying. The fastest scratches appear on devices from Garmin and Xiaomi.

If we carry out a detailed comparison of screens, then the display that Garmin watches are endowed with becomes an outsider. You can find fault with the technology of its manufacture, and with a resolution of 240x240 pixels - this is not what you expect from such an expensive product.

The devices we have chosen are full-fledged smart watches. These are not fitness bracelets, on the production of which they save in every possible way. No, these devices are ready to offer the best opportunities realized through various sensors. And their number can surprise. Let's start with the fact that absolutely all models have a GPS chip at their disposal. Its activation during a run allows the device to remember the route and speed to which you accelerated. But you need to understand that this significantly increases energy consumption. Also, such a chip allows the watch to display a map. A digital compass will help you quickly understand in which direction you need to move.

Three devices out of five received an altimeter at their disposal. This sensor is also called an altimeter.With it, the device will be able to understand that you are now climbing the stairs, and not walking on a flat surface. Not to mention the fact that such a sensor is very important for those who are going to conquer the mountains.

All watches boast a barometer. And all of them were not without a heart rate monitor. And many gadgets are able to determine the level of oxygen in the blood. In the context of the coronavirus pandemic, this is very important. Some other sensors are also present in the devices. Initially, it was assumed that the Garmin product will have a thermometer, which determines the ambient temperature. However, after the release, it became clear that this model only supports an external sensor, the purchase of which will cost 3-4 thousand rubles.

Most often, wearable electronics are equipped with at least one wireless module. With its help, the information is sent to the smartphone, where it can be viewed in more detail. In the case of smart watches, this is Bluetooth. I am glad that almost all the devices we are considering have received the fifth version of the “blue tooth”. And only an expensive Garmin product, for some reason, has a much less energy efficient and stable module. But only at his disposal there is support for ANT +.This means that the device can receive information from any external sensors. For example, from the cadence sensor. A curious feature that many athletes should appreciate.

Most of the smartwatches we reviewed include other wireless modules. For example, Huawei, Samsung and Apple Watch have an NFC chip. It allows you to pay for your purchases by the hour. It is also present in the device from Garmin. However, this device forces you to use your own service to pay for purchases, which will not suit every reader. As for Xiaomi, these watches, due to their cost, are deprived of such a chip. As there is no Wi-Fi in them, the support of which is implemented in three out of five devices. However, this is no longer so important.

It is unlikely that you need to talk in detail about the capabilities of the Apple Watch SE. This device is on everyone's lips. As you know, it has a very wide functionality. And if it suddenly is not enough, additional applications will come to the rescue. I am glad that this model included a microphone and a speaker, because this allows you to access Siri. However, many other modern smart watches are also equipped with them. They are not only in Garmin and Xiaomi products. This also means that using this smartwatch will not be able to answer an incoming call.

A distinctive feature of the device from Garmin is the presence of a music player.Several hundred songs can be downloaded to the watch, after which they will be played in any headphones and speakers connected via Bluetooth. And the device is ready to track a variety of types of training. And above, we have already said that the gadget supports the connection of external sensors.

Smart watches from Huawei are ready to boast of a constant heart rate measurement, an abundance of watch faces (not all of them are free), displaying messages from a smartphone, and many other features. If we talk about the sports component, then the gadget tracks about a hundred types of workouts. It also monitors sleep. And he tries to wake you up at the perfect moment for this.

Samsung has been producing wearable electronics running the Tizen operating system for a long time. However, the Galaxy Watch4 comes with Google Wear OS. This results in a disadvantage in the form of a short battery life. But we will talk about this separately. In the meantime, we mention that a proprietary shell is installed on top of the OS, so the interface will seem familiar to everyone who has already used South Korean smart watches. You can use this watch with any smartphone. However, two important features will be available only to those who have a device from the same manufacturer. We are talking about building an ECG and measuring blood pressure. And this watch is able to analyze the composition of the body. A nice bonus for those who still don't have scales with this feature!

As for Xiaomi Amazfit GTS 2 Mini, this device also offers a lot of possibilities. It allows you to remotely control music playback on your smartphone. They also track sleep. Not forgotten and all kinds of training. Interestingly, even skiing is among the corresponding list.You can find fault with smart watches only about measuring the level of oxygen in the blood - the result shown is far from always true.

The best in terms of functionality are smart watches from Apple. But this is the only device of its kind that cannot be paired with an Android smartphone. This means that you should not give such a gadget to a girl who does not have an iPhone.

As mentioned above, all the devices we have chosen have a GPS chip. And if training involves its use, you will have to connect the network adapter at the end of daylight hours. If it is not activated, the results will be different for everyone. Worse than the others show themselves Apple Watch. The gadget is stuffed with hardware to the eyeballs, and its operating system cannot be called particularly energy efficient. As a result, you will have to use the network adapter every day. Luckily, wireless charging makes life a lot easier. Not to mention that the process does not take much time.

If we talk about Samsung, then it has a similar problem - you have to charge the device every day, albeit for only 20-30 minutes. Against this background, the device from Garmin looks much more interesting. If you do not listen to music, then you can count on 5-6 days of battery life. Huawei smartwatches last about the same.As for Amazfit, the owners of this gadget are waiting for a similar, but still lower result. And this watch takes a little longer to charge than the rest.

As you know, Xiaomi produces excellent fitness bracelets that can boast of low cost. It is not surprising that smart watches turned out to be very inexpensive. To be honest, if they were more expensive, there would hardly be a lot of buyers for them. If fans of Apple products are willing to overpay for the brand, then you can’t say the same about the rest.

Perhaps the worst value for money product is Garmin. And you need to understand that you may also spend money on external sensors, because only with their help you can use absolutely all the functionality. As for Samsung and Apple, the price tag of their watches seems too high. However, they also have their own buyer, which is not surprising.

A rare case when almost all devices in comparison are approximately equal. Even the highest average score was received by three devices at once! And if you use a Samsung smartphone, we recommend taking a watch from the same manufacturer.Travelers are better off looking towards a Garmin product. But get ready for the fact that you have to pay a little more than you would like. If your way is saving, then it is better to purchase a smart watch from Xiaomi. Yes, they do not have very wide functionality, but there is nothing to worry about.

As for the Apple Watch, it's a chic smartwatch. But they have one drawback. They need an iPhone. That is why we will not undertake to recommend this device to absolutely everyone, although it is in many ways superior to its competitors.
