Video Description

Reviewing the best smartwatches of 2025, from premium WearOS wearables to budget-friendly options. The Pixel Watch 4 is almost here, 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 wearables of 2025 down below. The Pixel Watch 3 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). Here's hoping the Pixel Watch 4 can upgrade in that area. Otherwise, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is better for longevity and boasts a more rugged design, if you want to stick with WearOS. 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. As well as quite a few premium devices, I've tested some budget friendly fitness trackers and great value efforts like the Nothing Watch Pro and Xiaomi's Redmi Watch 5 series. From the Ticwatch Pro 5 Enduro to the Huawei Watch 5, here's the best smartwatch options for battery life, gym use and more. And if you're after an Apple Watch style design for a lot less cash, check out the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro. What's your own favourite smartwatch as we prance our way through 2025? Let us know below!
