Voice assistant: We gauge the usefulness of the voice functions, both in speech-to-text messaging and replies, and, where applicable, in the digital assistant (Google Assistant or Bixby).Battery: We measure whether the battery can last a full, active day (at least 16 to 18 hours).If it’s not durable, it will look beaten up long before it’s time for an upgrade. Build quality: A smartwatch will likely rattle around on your wrist day in, day out-possibly for years.Fitness: How well does the watch function as a basic fitness tracker? Ideally, you shouldn’t need to wear two devices on your wrist for things like step tracking, reminders not to stay sedentary, and roughly accurate (but not exact) tracking of long walks, runs, or cycling sessions.If a smartwatch is slow for basic tasks like checking notifications or tracking your exercise, it’s not worth using. Performance: Smartwatches should be responsive enough to be more convenient and faster than taking your phone out.It’s a notable plus if a watch is available in a variety of styles or sizes.

This includes the strap, the case, and how it fits on all sizes of wrists. Style: Unlike a phone, a smartwatch is on your wrist for all to see, and it should look good doing it.Notifications: A smartwatch should present notifications clearly while making it easy to dismiss them or to compose a reply.
