The Apple Watch may be the world’s best-selling smartwatch, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s the best smartwatch you can buy. As an Android user, your options are virtually endless since there are Android-compatible smartwatches that can fit any budget, any style, and any occasion. To help you make a good choice, we’ve put together this list of the top 20 Android-compatible wearables that are better than the Apple Watch, making sure to include something for everyone. Does Apple Watch Work with Android? The most straightforward answer to this question is: No, at the moment the Apple Watch doesn’t work with Android. The situation may change in the future, but considering Apple’s walled garden approach, we wouldn’t count on it. Best Apple Watch Alternative Samsung Galaxy Watch The Samsung Galaxy Watch is first up on our list and is probably the most stylish smartwatch out there today. If you’re a professional, this one will replace your traditional watch without a problem. By default, it comes equipped with a stylish strap, but there are a handful of other options that you can pick up to meet different style preferences. The Galaxy Watch doesn’t run on Android Wear but Samsung’s own Tizen OS. However, it still functions just fine with the Android platform. When you’re done in the professional world for the day, you can take the Galaxy Watch out as a “sport” watch or fitness tracker, with the ability to track your steps, heart rate, distance ran, calories burned, and more. Buy it now: Amazon FitBit Versa 2 The FitBit Versa 2 is not really a full-fledged smartwatch, but it’s also not just a simple fitness tracker. It’s actually a hybrid device that represents the best of both worlds—or the worst, depending on how you look at it. As far as we see it, the FitBit Versa 2 is perfect for someone who’s just getting into smartwatches and isn’t really ready to spend big bucks just yet. For less than $200, the FitBit Versa 2 offers more than you might expect. To start with, it can monitor your heart rate, evaluate the quality of your sleep, count your steps, and calculate burnt calories. You can also use it to read push notifications, control music playback, and pay without your wallet. Best of all, it lasts almost a week on a charge, so there’s no need to charge it every night. It’s worth mentioning that FitBit was recently acquired by Google, so we can expect even bigger things from the company in the future. But if don’t want to wait until the new FitBit is released, don’t hesitate and buy the Versa 2—you won’t be disappointed. Read our full review for more information about the FitBit Versa 2. Buy it now: Amazon Huawei Watch 2 Designed to accompany you both in the gym and at the office, the Huawei Watch 2 is a compelling smartwatch with extensive connectivity options and impressive fitness tracking capabilities. Because it has an integrated cellular antenna, you can use it to make phone calls on the go without taking your smartphone out of your pocket. The built-in GPS and Glonass dual-positioning system offers highly accurate location tracking during outdoor activities, and Huawei’s improved heart rate monitoring technology can help you adjust the intensity of your workouts. Other noteworthy features include mobile NFC payments, sleep tracking, offline storage for music, and Google Assistant. The Huawei Watch 2 fits all 22 mm watch straps, which means that you can dress it up or dress it down for various occasions with a simple strap removal tool. The bezel is ceramic, and Huawei claims that it’s crafted using 23 separate processes. While we can’t confirm that, we can say with confidence that it looks amazing. Read our full review for more information about the Huawei Watch 2. Buy it now: Amazon Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 If you own the previous version of the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2, you can keep your credit card in your wallet. If not, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 may just be the Apple Watch alternative you’ve been looking for. Thanks to its round watch face, nobody will ever accuse you of wearing an Apple Watch clone, and because there are two different sizes to choose from (40 mm and 44 mm), it’s easy to ensure a good fit regardless of how large or small your wrists are. What can the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 do? A lot! As its name suggests, this LTE-enabled smartwatch comes with a wide range of fitness-tracking capabilities, including heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, real-time coaching, and more. On a full charge, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 lasts approximately two days, so you can be sure that you won’t have to charge it too often even a year or two from now. Read our full review for more information about the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2. Buy it now: Amazon TicWatch E2 The TicWatch E2 is a great smartwatch for people who are not too concerned with brand names and are just looking for something functional and reliable to wear every day. Because it costs just $160, you don’t need to worry too much about it, knowing that you’ll most likely replace it in a year or two with a newer model anyway. Thanks to the silicone strap the watch comes with and its water-resistant case, the watch can easily handle all elements and survive even swimming (although we definitely wouldn’t buy with this specific purpose in mind). Under the crisp 1.4-inch AMOLED display is the Snapdragon 2100 chip running the latest version of Wear OS. While the newer 3100 processor would be nice, it’s hard to complain considering how affordable this smartwatch is. Buy it now: Amazon TicWatch Pro Specifically designed to function with Android, the TicWatch Pro is a fully-featured smartwatch that you can use on Android and iOS — the TicWatch Pro has you covered for almost any purpose, such as for the professional world, health tracking, communicating, or for fun. The second area where the TicWatch Pro tries to separate itself from the competition is the extended battery life. Many smartwatches will only last through a single day on one charge; however, the TicWatch Pro has a couple of options for beating the average. Under light use in the Essential Mode, the TicWatch Pro can last for 30 days on a single charge. Or, the Smart Mode of the TicWatch is designed for heavier use and lasts two days on a single charge, which is still more than most watches today. Buy it now: Amazon Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle Fossil’s Carlyle is powered by wearOS, which is made by Google. It works on both the iPhone and Android, so you can use it with pretty much any smartphone you have. It has heart rate and activity tracking, so you’re pretty much replicating what the Apple Watch has, but on Android. One of the cool things about the Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle is the sheer amount of battery life in it. It’s way more than an Apple Watch—allowing you to extend your battery life for multiple days with smart battery modes. And when you’re low on life, the Carlyle can charge up to 80 percent in under an hour. Buy it now: Amazon Fossil Townsman Looking for something with a little more of a classic style? The Fossil Townsman will be right up your alley. This one doesn’t have any smartwatch functions, as it’s more of a dressier watch from Fossil. It’s worth having this one in your arsenal for those nights where you need to dress up a little more, such as at a black-tie event or even a wedding. The Townsman is a stainless steel watch and has a chronograph face. It does have interchangeable bands, so you can even dress this down as you’d like. Buy it now: Amazon LG Watch W7 Convincing people who are into traditional watches to try a smartwatch is no easy feat, but you would be hard-pressed to find a smartwatch that has a greater chance of succeeding than the LG Watch W7. Just the fact that it has traditional lugs and crown makes it stand out. When you also notice that the watch has fully functional mechanical hands powered by a precision movement, it becomes clear that LG may be up to something truly amazing here. Of course, there’s no point in making a smartwatch with mechanical hands unless it combines the elegance and functionality of a traditional watch with at least some features found in modern smartwatches. In the case of the LG Watch W7, you get the latest version of Wear OS by Google, a broad selection of customizable watch faces, and support for messaging, email, calendar, and app alerts. Buy it now: Amazon Motorola Moto 360 (2nd gen) Coming in as the successor to the original Moto 360, we have the second-gen version from Lenovo’s daughter company, the polished men, and women’s 360. With a refined exterior, improved battery, a whole lot of size, case, bezel, band, and face choice, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Android Wear single-handedly propelled to the mainstream by the “New” Moto 360. Buy it now: Amazon Huawei Watch GT 2 When it comes to men’s watches, 42 mm is probably the most versatile case size there is. That’s why we’re happy that the Huawei Watch GT 2 is available both in 46 mm and 42 mm. We’re also glad that it has a lug width of 22 mm, which means that your options as far as straps go are virtually endless, and you certainly don’t need to limit yourself to original straps from Huawei. The GT series of smartwatches has always been all about long battery life and intelligent power-saving technology. The latest addition to the family, the GT 2, is no exception, boasting a power reserve of up to 2 weeks and Huawei’s self-developed wearable chip, the Kirin A1, which is powerful despite being very efficient. Two POGO pin connectors facilitate charging by connecting to the proprietary charging disc. Instead of Wear OS, the GT 2 runs on Huawei’s Lite OS, a lightweight operating system that’s easy to navigate but somewhat limited in functionality. Buy it now: Amazon ASUS VivoWatch BP Asus describes the VivoWatch BP as the first wearable health tracker in the world. It integrates a pair of medical-grade ECG and PPG sensors as well as ASUS HealthAI technology. This device can provide you with highly accurate heart rate and blood pressure information and tell you when you should relax. As such, it’s perfect for people with a medical condition that demands a stress-free lifestyle, but it can also be used by serious athletes who want only the most accurate information. Considering that similarly accurate wearable blood pressure monitors from brands like Omron cost 2.5x as much, the Asus VivoWatch BP is a pretty good deal and the perfect gift for someone who should avoid stress as much as possible. Buy it now: Amazon Amazfit Bip There are many people who dearly miss Pebble smartwatches and their simple yet highly functional design, long battery life, and affordable price. If that sounds like you, you should consider the Amazfit Bip, a lovable smartwatch compatible with the Mi Fit app from Xiaomi. The Bip costs less than $100 but lasts longer on a charge than the Apple Watch. How long? Up to 45 days depending on how you use it. It’s always-on display stays, well, always on and remains clearly visible even under direct sunlight. Under the display is a low-power GPS chip that’s surprisingly fast and accurate—great for tracking all kinds of activities. The watch itself is plastic, but its durability isn’t bad at all. You can even swim with it because it’s rated IP68. Buy it now: Amazon Samsung Gear S3 Samsung likes to experiment, and not everything the company puts on the market turns into a success. But when it comes to the Samsung Gear S3, the company has struck gold. This Tizen-based smartwatch is packed with features, including support for Samsung Pay and Spotify, and its gorgeous display will make you want to stare at it all day long. Despite being on the larger side, the watch wears smaller than it looks, and its design is undeniably attractive. Instead of pressing a couple of small buttons or using various swipe gestures, you can control the watch simply by turning its bezel. This control method feels very intuitive when scrolling through apps, messages, and long text. Buy it now: Amazon Xiaomi Mi Band 4 The Xiaomi Mi Band 4 is the most popular fitness band at the moment, and for a good reason. It costs less than a fancy dinner but does more than you would expect. Its features include 24/7 heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking, activity and swim tracking, notifications, and more. The Xiaomi Mi Band 4 is water-resistant up to 50 m and so light that you won’t even notice it on your hand. It can last nearly a month on a charge, and its bright and vivid AMOLED display lights up automatically when you raise your hand to see what time it is. Buy it now: Amazon Fitbit Charge HR If you’re willing to give up even more of your fancy wrist computer functions and get a longer-lasting, more straightforward, super-reliable wireless activity tracking device, you can’t go wrong with a Fitbit. They’re the sales leaders of the market for a reason, unlike Apple, and the Charge HR deservedly rules supreme in Amazon fitness technology demand. The Charge HR is water-resistant, dust-proof, lightweight, and capable of continuously monitoring your heart rate, calories, and cardio fitness level. You can expect your Charge HR to last four days on a charge because its tiny LED display doesn’t draw much power. Buy it now: Amazon Amazfit GTS Yes, the Amazfit GTS looks like an Apple Watch clone, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Many people love the design of the Apple Watch but don’t care for Apple products in general for a variety of reasons. Some of these people are also mature enough not to feel bad for wearing a product whose designers have clearly taken a lot of inspiration from elsewhere. Just like the Apple Watch, the Amazfit GTS uses a stunning, high-resolution display with ultra-high color saturation. The display is 1.65 inches large, and it can display plenty of useful information at the same time, including the heart rate, calendar, weather, and important events. With more information displayed at the same time, you don’t need to interact with the watch as much, which is one reason why it lasts around 14 days when used as a smartwatch and up to 46 days when used without Bluetooth. Buy it now: Amazon Garmin Vivoactive 3 Garmin has plenty of experience with activity trackers, and the Vivoactive 3 is one of its best products to date. This stylish smartwatch has an always-on display that can display any of the thousands of watch faces, apps, and widgets that are available in Garmin’s Connect IQ store. The smartwatch comes with around 15 GPS and indoor sports apps, which cover many different activities, such as yoga, running, and treadmill. Using the built-in heart rate sensor, the Vivoactive 3 is able to measure your V02 max, a measure that indicates the maximum rate of oxygen consumption measured during incremental exercise. Using this information, the Vivoactive 3 is able to figure out your fitness age and even monitor your stress levels throughout the day. Buy it now: Amazon Withings Steel HR Sport Many people still wear a watch because they dislike relying on their smartphone to tell what time it is. At the same time, however, there’s no denying that at least some of the features supported by modern smartwatches are just as useful as a reliable time-keeping device. With the Steel HR Sport, Withings combines the reliability of traditional watches with the features of smartwatches, creating a hybrid smartwatch for every occasion. Instead of featuring one large display, the Steel HR Sport has two sub-dials, one of which is actually a low-resolution display. Because of the small size and resolution of the display, this hybrid smartwatch lasts around 25 days on a charge even with heart rate monitoring and GPS turned on. The display can also show smartphone notifications, but only in a limited fashion. Buy it now: Amazon Skagen Falster 2 Let’s end this overview of the top 20 Android-compatible wearables that are better than the Apple Watch with what’s arguably the most beautiful smartwatch out there at the moment, the stunning Skagen Falster 2. Designed to be more than a smart device for counting steps and telling time, this Wear OS-powered fashion accessory has many useful features, beautiful OLED screen, rotating crown, and two customizable buttons. Because the Skagen Falster 2 uses 20 mm straps, you can dress it up with a mesh or metal strap or make it sporty with a silicone or nato strap. As is the case with many fashion-oriented products, the Skagen Falster 2 is somewhat held back by its average performance and battery life. Buy it now: Amazon Verdict As you can see, there are a lot of excellent choices as far as Android smartwatches go. Many of these are better than the Apple Watch in function or style — though some of it comes down to your preferences. Do you have a favorite Android-compatible wearable that’s better than the Apple Watch? Let us know in the comments section below, and you may see it end up on our list!
