Are you thinking of buying a smartwatch? Well, we have compiled a list of the best smartwatches for you. Smartwatches are accessories that have known alternate fortunes on the market. After a bang-break, which according to analysts should have led to the emergence of a thriving market, the lack of innovation, especially on the software side, slowed down growth.

The number of smartwatch users is growing, and the market offer is broad and uneven. Many new arrivals come from China, but the only smartwatch worthy of note at least is Amazfit, which is updated weekly with interesting news that is becoming more and more versatile and around which a thriving developer community has developed.
