That is why the magazine carefully studied the segment and selected 13 of the best women's smartwatches. User reviews, expert opinions, as well as a comparison of the visual and technical characteristics of all models were taken as criteria for compiling the rating.

Samsung Galaxy Watch (42 mm)

Smartwatch rating: 4.9

Perhaps the most unusual concept of a women's smartwatch that you would never expect to see from a manufacturer of technology and smart gadgets. Suddenly, for myself, the Samsung Galaxy Watch turned out to be a very successful combination of elegance, style and functionality, and not for the largest price. This model uses its own operating system Tizen, which supports connection with both the platform iOS and Android versions 8 and 5.0, respectively. Super AMOLED – the 1.18-inch display is framed by a stainless steel case and has an IP68 waterproof rating, which allows you not to take off the watch while taking a shower without much risk.

Samsung Galaxy Watch has advanced multimedia functions: it can independently play music and output it to third-party devices. All this became possible thanks to the built-in speaker and Wi-Fi / Bluetooth 4.2 interfaces. In addition, we will note the presence of a microphone and an NFC module for contactless payment.

Advantages

• huge functionality;
• the ability to listen to music directly from the watch;
• 2-core Exynos 9110 processor with a frequency of 1.15 GHz, 768 MB of RAM and 4 GB of internal memory;

Apple Watch Series 4 GPS 44mm Aluminum Case with Sport Loop

Smartwatch rating: 4.8

The undisputed trend among women's smartwatches is Apple Watch Series 4, which opens up new facets for lovers of an active lifestyle. Obviously, they work exclusively with devices on the platform iOS, but not older than 12th version. The case of this particular model is made of aluminum and ceramic, and the bracelet is made of textiles. At the same time, the touchscreen is quite ordinary, “wrapped” in mineral glass and corresponding to the WR50 water resistance class. It is noteworthy that with all the described structural part, their weight is only 36.7 grams.

From the system part Apple Watch Series 4, we can distinguish that the smart watch is based on a 2-core processor Apple S4, supplemented by 16 GB of internal memory. In addition to standard metrics, they can be used to take ECGs (although the function is available only in the USA) and use the built-in “Walkie-talkie” application. There is only one drawback: extremely low battery life – only 18 hours.

Advantages

• durable aluminum-ceramic body;

• powerful system part (processor Apple S4);
• the ability to play audio.

disadvantages

American-made smart watches for women, made especially for sophisticated and elegant sports lovers.

And if in terms of the appearance parameters Michael Kors MKT5055 can be called an outstanding model of smart watches, then in terms of filling and functionality it is similar to FOSSIL Gen 4 and ARMANI Connected ART9005.

• very beautiful body finish;
• a wide range of functions and capabilities;

In addition, Garmin Forerunner 245 tries to target all popular platforms: not only Android and iOS, but even Windows and OS X. The electronic display with a diagonal of 1.2 inches is framed by a silicone case with a strap made of the same material, as if hinting at its belonging to the sports segment.

And here we should abruptly move on to the functionality. The fact is that the Garmin Forerunner 245 is positioned not only as a sports watch, but also as a travel smart watch.

Water resistance remains at WR50, which means you can shower and swim in the watch without diving.

In terms of the functional part, the Noerden Life 2+ smart watch has not changed at all: the same capabilities for taking metrics (relative to the Noerden Life model), the same software functionality, but with increased stability of actions.
