Best smartwatches of 2020

By Grind City Culture -




Apple Watch Series 5
Sarah Tew/CNET The Apple Watch Series 5 may be the most expensive one our list, but it's the gold standard when it comes to smartwatches. It has everything we loved about its predecessors, including the seamless compatibility with other Apple devices, advanced fitness tracking and potentially lifesaving health features like a built-in EKG and fall detection.
The biggest downsides to the Apple Watch: It's iPhone-compatible only, and it has shorter battery life than most of its competitors. Read our Apple Watch Series 5 review.

Apple Watch Series 3
It's been nearly three years since the Apple Watch Series 3 made its debut, but it continues to hold its own. It may not have the always-on display, EKG or fall detection feature that the Series 5 has, but it has everything else for half the price. And with the update to WatchOS 7 coming in the fall, the Series 3 will also be adding sleep tracking to its long list of health and fitness features.
One potential drawback of the Series 3 is that the older watch may stop getting updates before the Series 5 does. This year's WatchOS 7 update for example, left out the Series 2, Series 1 and original Apple Watches. Read our Apple Watch Series 3 review.

Fitbit Versa 2
Angela Lang/CNET The Versa 2 is the best Fitbit you can buy if you're looking to do more than just track steps. With a battery that lasts longer per charge than those of most other wearables on this list, the Versa 2 also works with Android or iPhone and has Alexa on board. You don't get built-in GPS (unlike Fitbit's latest tracker, the Charge 4) so you will need to take your phone with you to track route and distance on runs.
But the Versa 2's biggest strength is the Fitbit app, which presents your workout details clearly so you can easily interpret your efforts. Read our Fitbit Versa 2 review.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2
Angela Lang/CNET There's no question that the Galaxy Watch Active 2 is Samsung's sleekest smartwatch to date, with two sizes to fit more wrists. The combination of a touch bezel and touchscreen makes navigating the interface a breeze and you can also get an LTE edition so you can receive calls on the go, without needing your phone nearby. Battery life can be inconsistent, however, and the ECG isn't active outside of Korea just yet. Read our Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 review.

Amazfit Bip S
If you're looking to get more bang for your buck, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better deal than the Amazfit Bip S. This $70 smartwatch is compatible with both Android and iOS devices and checks most of the boxes when it comes to features: always-on display, built-in GPS and the best battery life of any device on this list. You can get up to 40 days of use on a charge, or about two weeks of heavy usage with the GPS on and brightness up (a time that's still above and beyond the rest).
You may have to make some sacrifices when it comes to aesthetics, though, as it has a plastic casing and the screen isn't as bright or responsive as the ones on the Galaxy and Apple Watch. Read more about the Amazfit Bip S.

  “Nuke Bizzle” faces 22 years in prison after brazenly bragging about an identity-theft campaign in his music video, “EDD.” Rapper Fontrell Antonio Baines, who goes by the stage name “Nuke Bizzle,” made his first appearance in U.S. District Court in downtown Los Angeles on Friday after being charged with fraudulently applying for more than $1.2 million in jobless benefits under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Central District of California.
