With a built-in heart sensor and Google Fit app, it also does a good enough job at fitness tracking, especially for gym-workouts. Although feature-rich, with a large circular HD display & robust yet thick design, it can be a bit too bulky & not a preferred choice for those who like to wear slimmer watches.
Huawei Watch
With good looks combined with some great features, Huawei Watch is more of an all-rounder-yet it comes at a relatively higher price. The watch comes with a timeless, yet sophisticated design that is available in several design options & would attract those with a taste for style. With a premium feel & look, Huawei watch is not only aesthetically appealing & comfortable to wear, but also its circular AMOLED display has one of the highest resolutions around.

A great choice for those who wouldn’t mind spending a large amount in exchange for great features.
Misfit Vapor

On the appearance aspect, it has an impressive circular AMOLED display surrounded by a thick grooved ring that you can run your fingers over, in order to scroll faster through menus on the screen.

Also, the built-in Misfit activity app can although not keep track of your gym workouts, but it can smartly keep track of your walking, cycling and even swimming –being Swim-proof & water-resistant. Besides, it is capable of relaying your phone notifications for calls, texts, and emails on its display along with alerts & vibrations so you don’t miss anything. Overall, it’s an attractive choice at an affordable rate compared to others.
Ticwatch E (Express)
If you are looking for a simple & cheap android wear watch that still offers a variety of good features for everyday use, Mobvoi’s Ticwatch E powered by Android Wear, is a compelling candidate. With a light-weight & simple design and a body made entirely of plastic, the watch is comfortable enough for everyday use and more damage-resistant than it looks.
Ticwatch features the latest android wear 2.0 and a tactile button which, for a change, is located on the left-hand side. Ticwatch’s signature “tickle strip “for easy scrolling is missing, but it has well-functioning built-in GPS & heart sensor, and a number of fitness apps making it an excellent option for everyday fitness & activity-tracking. With a built-in mic & speaker, the watch lets you make & answer calls, as well as keep you updated with all your phone notifications. Overall, it may not be the best Android wear watch or even best-looking one out there, still, Ticwatch E is a great option considering its low price tag.
LG Watch Style
LG Watch Style, is another collaboration of LG & Google that features Android 2.0 and many good features, but in a more-good looking & light-weight profile. As the name suggests, the most commendable feature about the watch is the stylish appearance that makes it the most worth-wearing wearable. With a circular 1.2-inch P-OLED one display, surrounded by stainless-steel frame it is the thinnest android-wear watch you could have & even features a rotatable crown on the side that makes navigation on the screen much more comfortable.
Although it lacks a GPS or heart-sensor, it still fulfills the task of a fitness tracker with an upgrade to Google Fit. Other than that it offers the same standard features as most smartwatches, in a much affordable price. But, its less-than-average battery-life is a trade-off for looks & functionality. This one would ideally be best for those who prefer fashion over features.
