Upgrade your daily routine with the best smartwatches for men

The best smartwatches of the year don't look much like smartwatches at all

If our grandfathers lived in an era of analog and our fathers in a time of digital, we’ve landed squarely in the future of smart — smartwatches, that is. These whirring electronic gems have been kicking around for years now. While they seemed at first like little more than Jetson-esque playthings, they’ve come a long way in terms of durability, affordability, accessibility, and practicality. Even better: They're a helluva lot more affordable now, too. All of which is why they're replacing "dumb" on the wrists of most active people these days.

Smartwatches have become incredibly popular in recent years, and while they were only made for convenience in the past, they're now aesthetically pleasing to look at too. Two birds with one stone, right? These days it's hard to tell if you're even looking at a smartwatch, with brands like Diesel and Citizen coming out with stainless steel bracelets and hybrid models. Of course, that doesn't take away from the reason men actually buy smartwatches, which is for things like heart rate monitoring, fitness tracking, built-in GPS, etc. and these all have exactly that.
