The smartwatch market is relatively new, but it's already fallen into the same pattern as mobile phones.
So there are a large number of watches using Google's Android Wear, up against a choice of two Apple Watches, one large and one small, in a variety of finishes, but all running the same operating system, watchOS.
Then there's an outlier, but as Microsoft only makes this, that role falls to Kickstarter-funded Pebble, with its growing range of versatile smartwatches.
Here at techradar, Smartwatches go through the same intense reviewing processes as our phones and tablets, as we weigh up everything from design and features, to interface and price. That means we can bring you what we believe is THE comprehensive list of the best smartwatches around, telling you which watch offers the best balance of function, performance, style and value for money.
Every Android Wear smartwatch in the world today
Recent improvements to Android Wear, the release of the far more feature-packed Apple watchOS 2 and updates to the Pebble make smartwatches more competitive and appealing than ever. All of them deliver important information, from texts messages to email alerts, without the need to get your phone out. Most also offer fitness tracking, and apps then open up a wide range of additional functions.
The question is, who out of Samsung, Sony, LG, Motorola, Asus et al makes the best Android Wear watch, where does Pebble sit, and does that little wearable made by Apple deserve its position as the number one selling watch/Watch?
