PEBBLE TIME STEEL:
The Pebble Time was a huge hit. It was truly a revolutionizing step in the smart watch industry. We were not even fed up rejoicing with this tech wonder when the Steel version of the watch was announced.
The Pebble Time Steel is thicker than its predecessor. This build makes it much more casual and sporty than the heavy, luxurious accessory. The watch has an addition 1mm added to its structure. But, it makes no big difference as there is a larger battery which can run the watch for up to 10 days.
PRICE: $299
BEST FOR AFFORDABLE STYLE:
L G WATCH URBANE:
The watch in its silver and gold color option is worth teasing and showing-off to others. The watch has much features and appearance of a traditional timepiece.
Urbane has a feminine and an extra classy and fashionable touch to it. The watch also has a 23-karat gold watchcase and handcrafted alligator leather strap. This luxury will cost you extra $1,200. That is the reason we have made this watch am “affordable” style topper.

Twenty four months have passed and still no difference in popularity. Two years and still counting…
Yes! We are talking about the famous original Pebble Time smart watch. The watch has an affordable price tag, a continuous seven-day battery life and both iOS and Android compatibility. The watch has also undergone through updates. Both the software and hardware have been little refreshed. The new additions include the modern Timeline OS and a color e-paper screen.

BEST FOR SPORTS FANS:
GARMIN VIVOACTIVE:
Garmin Is the first and the leader device which has made the quintessential fitness dream came true.
The Vivoactive has full notifications on alert all the time. It also offers uncountable number of sports tracking features in very affordable price. It’s an everyday sports wearable. Garmin has perfectly blended fitness features, top notch notifications and different games like running, cycling, swimming, golf etc into one lot.
The ragged design and the worst screen tech make the watch doubtful for public appearances; which is really sad when compared with the striking features.

This watch excels in all the departments mentioned in above watches, categorically. The Samsung Gear S2 is a complete and spectacular smart watch, which when once seen will left you the itching desire to buy it.
There are extra charges for the cellular version and to completely benefit from the GPS features, but, even the standard version is the cherry on the top. The battery life is not too great but it is certainly better than many other watches available today.
