00:00Time for a new smartwatch. Here are five great picks. The Apple Watch Series 11 is arguably the
00:04most well-rounded choice if you're invested in Apple's ecosystem and prioritize phone notifications
00:09and health tracking. It finally now lasts a full day with 24 hours of battery life and has a stronger
00:14scratch-resistant display. It's also the first Apple Watch to introduce hypertension alerts and
00:19a sleep score. But what if you don't have an iPhone? The best Android smartwatch is going to
00:24be the Google Pixel Watch 4. It gets about 60 hours of battery life on a single charge with
00:29the larger 45 millimeter model, which has a max brightness of 3,000 nits. It supports a number
00:35of Fitbit training metrics, including a daily readiness and sleep score. It has the best AI
00:40voices in Gemini built right in, now activated with a lift of your wrist. This is also one of the
00:45few
00:45smartwatches besides the price of your Apple Watch Ultra 3 with an emergency SOS feature for help when
00:51you're off the grid. Then the Garmin Venue 4. This isn't just one of the best fitness tracking smart
00:55watches. It's one of the best Apple Watch alternatives and is what I've been rocking for the last few
01:00weeks. It's packed with a ton of accurate workout tracking, sleep coaches, training readiness, and a
01:06lot more. This works with Android and iOS. My only limitation that I've found so far is I can't reply
01:12to text from my watch, but 10-day battery life more than makes up for it. For $80, the Amazement
01:18BIP6 is the
01:19best affordable smartwatch. You're getting a very premium design, which looks very inspired by the
01:24Apple Watch SE. The BIP6 tracks 140 different types of workouts that rival our other picks here,
01:30but if you want more personalized insights and to improve your sleep score and stress management,
01:35you're going to have to pay for the Zep Aura subscription. That said, if you're after a health
01:39tracker first watch, this is a solid pick. If you're serious about sleep tracking, the Samsung Galaxy
01:45Watch 8 is hard to beat. Samsung's AI-powered health insights are among the most detailed,
01:50and its sleep reports are super insightful. In addition to showing you how much time you spent
01:54in individual sleep cycles and your total sleep, it shows you how much you may or may not have been
01:58thrashing around, whether you snored, and it can also detect sleep apnea. So let me know which model
02:04you're rocking and if there are any models I should test for next time.
