Tapping into an aesthetic that leads to some of the best Fossil watches for men with classic and modern taste, the Fossil Gen 5e Smartwatch looks pretty great. It features a two-tone stainless steel bracelet so it looks like a traditional watch but with plenty of smartwatch functionality thanks to Google’s WearOS. It’ll fit nicely into your work aesthetic as well as look good on a night out. Its features include notification tracking for all your calls, calendar alerts, emails, SMSes, and social media-related doings, as well as the ability to track all your activity goals. Three smart battery modes extend the battery life so you won’t need to recharge too often either. An always-on display means it’s always ready for you to look at, as well, giving it a stylish advantage over other smartwatches.

Not quite one of the best smartwatches but certainly very stylish for the price, the Fossil Gen 5 smartwatch is a great option if you can spend a little more. It offers a 22mm stainless steel watch band that looks elegant while providing plenty of durability. There’s all the usual activity tracking functionality along with heart rate monitoring and GPS for tracking your activity outdoors. In addition, a touch-sensitive LCD screen means you can control it straight from the display, plus it’s water-resistant so it’s good for a more active lifestyle to go alongside your evening style. A strong battery life of well over a day means you can keep up with all your notifications all day long without missing a beat.

Your Apple Watch’s band may look clean, but a recent study has shown that your favorite band is probably covered in the sort of disgusting filth you would expect to find crusting up the seat in a public lavatory. According to Florida Atlantic University, 95% of the straps tested were coated in something unpleasant. This includes the infamous E.

Other unpleasant microbes discovered by researchers include staphylococcus spp, which can cause staph infections when it is introduced to an open wound, and pseudomonas -- another organism that can cause incredibly dangerous infections under the right circumstances.
