Reviewing the best smartwatch options in late 2025, from premium WearOS wearables to budget-friendly options. The Pixel Watch 4 is here and more domey than ever, while Samsung's Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and the OnePlus Watch 3 are solid smartwatch choices - but don't forget Huawei, Xiaomi, Nothing and other offerings! Let us know your thoughts on the best smartwatch of 2025 down below. The Pixel Watch 4 is a respectable upgrade over the previous generation, despite the lack of sapphire glass and the less-than-stellar battery life (for the 41mm model, at least). I'd recommend grabbing the bigger size, if you want your smartwatch to last more than 36 hours. Otherwise, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is better for longevity and boasts a more rugged design, if you want to stick with WearOS. Samsung also offers the Watch 7 Ultra, one of the top consumer choices although not the best for battery life. Alternatively, the OnePlus Watch 3 (or OPPO X2) improves that battery life thanks to its clever dual OS and dual chipset design. Definitely one of my favourite smartwatches right now. The Huawei Watch GT6 and GT6 Pro boast stand-out design and are top for battery life, plus here's the best smartwatch options for gym use and fitness tracking. And if you're after an Apple Watch style design for a lot less cash, check out the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro. As well as quite a few premium devices, I've tested some of the best budget smartwatch options - like the Nothing Watch and Xiaomi's Redmi Watch 5 series. What's your own favourite smartwatch as we prance our way through 2025? Let us know below!
