The top 10 Smartwatches of 2022 that you can buy right now [Music]
Bringing you my real world experiences with these watches to help you choose your ideal watch.
So first of all we will begin with the Top 10 Best Smartwatches of 2022 and then I'll follow up with some various categories
including my favourite, the Hall of Fame category. So get comfortable, epic video about to start.
Now all the prices mentioned in this video, are subject to change. All links will be shared in the description box
and I will take a second just to ask you guys, to hit the like button to support the channel,
as it's also very motivational and rewarding seeing that you guys are liking the content.
So without any further Ado, let's begin with the best smart watches money can buy of 2022.
So this is my top 10 starting from the bottom. So at number 10, we have the Honor Watch GS3.
A premium and affordable smart Fitness watch, with a generous 1.43" AMOLED display. You get 5ATM, BT phone calls, 14 day battery life, but
there is no NFC payments with this one.
So at number 9 we have, the Fossil Gen 6.
This is a full-featured smartwatch and it does have a rather nice compact 1.28" SAMOLED display, powered by the Snapdragon 4100+
and it's running WearOS v2. You also get BT calls, 3ATM water resistance and you do get NFC payments with Google pay
and a 1-day battery life. So that's my number 9 the Fossil Gen 6.
So at number 8 we have the Apple Watch Series 7 & Series 8, in joint eighth position, because there is not much between them
they both look exactly the same. They both offer the same 1.78 inch OLED display with super accurate Health tracking with
ECG, irregular heart rate monitoring, SP02. You also get 50m water resistance.
The series 8 has a slightly faster processor and crash detection along with a temperature sensor
Other than that it's exactly the same as the Series 7. So if you already have a series 7 absolutely no
point upgrading to the Series 8.
Now at number 7 we have the beautifully designed Google pixel watch with its compact 1.1" AMOLED display with 1000 nits Peak brightness
but it is powered by a 4-year old processor the Exynos 9110.
Saying that you're still getting a Comprehensive Health tracking experience it's also running the latest WearOS by Google v3.5
It does support BT phone calls and you do get a one day battery life along with 5ATM water resistance and NFC payments by Google pay.
so at number 7 it's the Google Pixel watch.
All right moving on number 6 we have the Huawei Watch 3 Pro. Check it out guys, beautifully designed feature-packed premium smart Fitness watch with impressive large 1.43 inch AMOLED display.
You get a beautiful titanium build quality with sapphire glass on top it is running HarmonyOS
With 5ATM water resistance 3-day battery life and you also get NFC, but not supported for NFC payments
All right moving swiftly to number 5 we have another beautiful creation by Huawei there is
no doubt in my mind that Huawei makes some of the most attractive and beautifully designed watches
this is the Huawei Watch GT3 Pro in Ceramic White with sapphire glass on top
and a beautiful 1.32" AMOLED display. You get 5ATM water resistance, BT phone calls a massive 14 day battery
life and NFC but again NFC payments not yet supported.
Alright so things are getting real heated here. What is going to be in position 4? I bet you guys can't wait....
Well here it is number 4 we have, the Garmin Venu 2 plus.
Now this is an advanced premium Fitness watch jam-packed with health features and you have a gorgeous compact 1.3" AMOLED display.
You get 5ATM water resistance, this does support BT phone calls and you get a pretty decent 9-day battery life.
NFC payments are supported with Garmin pay and this Smartwatch offers full compatibility, with both Android or iOS.
So whilst I was testing this watch, the sheer number of features and accuracy of those Health features was quite incredible.
Alright time for number 3, what is it going to be?
It's the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS. Now whilst this watch actually released last year it still
did enough to deserve a number 3 position in this year's top 10.
This is a full featured SmartWatch with dual display design like no other that's a 1.4" AMOLED display
with an FSTN display sandwiched together. You have military standard durability, IP68 water resistance,
A powerful Snapdragon 4100 performance. Bells and whistles when it comes to Accurate Health tracking
features an impressive 3-day battery life.. Now you might be thinking why is 3 days impressive Chigz?
Well this is not a premium Fitness tracking watch, you don't have that limitation.
This is a full featured Smartwatch giving you a smartphone like experience on your wrist, with built-in Wi-Fi LTE options
With third-party app downloads you've got the App Store with Google Play you've got the Google Play app store
giving you mainstream app downloads, like Spotify, driver you've got Google Maps, YouTube, YouTube music and lots more.
You can make and receive Bluetooth phone calls and you can actually reply to most notifications, directly from the watch.
So this is what I call a super smart watch. So still at number 3, last year and this year, the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra. Really like this watch.
So I wonder who's next. The best smartwatch you can buy this year position 2, is no other than the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5.
The expression: everything, but the kitchen sink... is what you get when you buy Samsung's latest Galaxy watch.
Every person who has tested this watch from my recommendation has thanked me.
So this is my daily driver smart watch the one that I wear every single day.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 you get impressive specs, impressive performance, impressive Health tracking, in fact more Health features than any other smart watch out there.
Now every person who has tested this watch from my recommendation, has thanked me.
So Galaxy Watch 5, you're getting impressive specifications, very good performance, 1.4" sAMOLED display
A very gorgeous display, impressive Health tracking. In fact, this watch will give you more Health features, than any other smart watch, out there.
Now, you are getting the incredible WearOS v3.5, with oneUI on top, and I simply love this UI.
You've got BT phone calls, 5ATM water resistance and military standard durability.
The compromise, is the battery life. Which is 2.5 days, there are tricks to make it last a bit longer,
but that is the compromise for having the best smartwatch features, design and build quality,
Basically the complete package.
Now this watch is compatible with Android only, and if you want ECG or BP monitoring, then it has to be a Samsung phone.
I'm connected to the Pixel 6A and it works absolutely fine. I don't really use ECG or BT monitoring. So I'm not missing those features.
So my choice number 2, is the Galaxy Watch 5, my daily driver.
So who takes the number 1 position?Who is the king of the Smartwatch jungle? Who offers the most comprehensive features, specifications, health tracking, build quality, durability, battery life and comfort?
Well the best smartwatch you can buy in 2022 and probably most of 2023 as well!
This is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.
Now this smartwatch has the bells and whistles in terms of health features, sapphire crystal glass, 1.4" sAMOLED display, powerful new chipset, latest WearOS 3.5.
Probably the best and most accurate and most well presented sleep tracking than any other Smartwatch of 2022.
Samsung has given us the biggest battery upgrade we have ever seen in a Galaxy watch, so that's 590mAh, which can last up to 3.5 days with normal usage.
So many features squeezed into a smartwatch, no thicker than 11mm and it weighs only 76g.
So this is a very Advanced Smartwatch.
This video is not sponsored by Samsung or any other company. I always buy my own Samsung tech, full price just like you guys
and from my everyday testing there is no doubt in my mind Samsung is ahead of the competition with its smart watches.
It's not just about Hardware or software it's the full package and how well presented everything is
it's a very attractive comfortable Smartwatch and this is my number 1 watch of 2022.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro
The Smartwatch world is indeed quite extensive and all our requirements are different.
We are not finished yet.
Some of you might be looking for something more particular, and to help you narrow things down.
I have a few more categories that I will share with you.
So now it's time for Chigzy's Hall of Fame of SmartWatches 2022.
So featuring some of the best smart watches of recent years, which you can still buy and enjoy, with the added benefit of the price being much cheaper.
The first one is Huawei Watch GT2 Pro, Which is still in the Hall of Fame guys.
This Smartwatch was so well ahead of it's time, in terms of Design, Technology and health features.
It was originally released in 2020 and it's still regarded, as one of the best, pound-for-pound smart watches, that you can buy, for the money, right now.
Especially as it's dropped down considerably in price. But you're still getting a flagship quality premium smart Fitness Watch.
We're talking about titanium build quality, sapphire glass, BT phone calls, 5ATM water resistance, it's got HR monitoring, SP02 and a very decent two-week battery life.
This watch is also compatible with both Android or iOS devices and the only drawback is NFC payments are not supported.
So no third-party apps supported, so it's basically a beautifully designed, premium, smart fitness watch. With a great battery.
Huawei Watch GT2 Pro is still in the Hall of Fame guys. You can still buy this watch right now, for really low price.
Ok so next one, new entry for 2022 Hall of Fame...
Last year's, Galaxy Watch 4 Classic (46mm) Smart Watch. Cannot be forgotten guys.
Especially with that extremely satisfying rotating bezel so last year's champion and still one of the best
smart watches you can buy and it's dropped down in price.
If you miss the rotating bezel, this watch is still an option. Definitely check it out.
Another watch that needs to be inducted this year is the Galaxy Watch 3.
Now this Smartwatch is priced so low on Amazon. That I am surprised that, they still have stock.
The GW3 was originally released in 2020, this watch features comprehensive Health tracking, as expected from the Galaxy watches.
Accurate HR tracking, SPO2, this also has NFC, GPS, fall detection, BT calls.
and the Galaxy watch 3 was the only one, that was compatible with both Android and iOS.
This is the last of Samsung's breed of watches running the pure Tizen OS. So very close to my heart. I really like this watch.
Galaxy watch 3. So no doubt a beautiful watch and a treat on your wrist at such a low price.
Hall of Fame material right here, Galaxy Watch 3 can still be picked up, for an extremely low price.
Definitely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
One more smart watch that deserves not to be forgotten. The Amazfit GTR 3 Pro from last year so a premium smart Fitness watch, with some great Fitness features. Along with a very nice display.
and also this watch has some of the best looking smart watches. I've ever seen in a smartwatch.
You also get 5ATM, BT calls, HR monitoring, SPO2, GPS and you get a very nice always-on display.
To go with it, the only thing to mention is NFC payments are not supported.
I look forward to seeing which SmartWatches get inducted next year.
Let's move on to our next category. OK so the next category, we're talking about is IOS.
if you have an iPhone then the best smartwatch for you is of course the Apple watch.
So Series 7 is a very good apple Watch Series 8 is just slightly improved so not worth upgrading if you already have the 7.
Apple Watch Ultra is another option if you can afford it, but I personally would not spend that kind of money on a smart watch with such limited fun functionality.
It's massive and bulky, dare I say it's ugly. So that's option number two for iPhones...
but there are other options, that you can consider, if you've got an iPhone.
Garmin and Fitbit watches also work with iPhones.
Garmin Venu 2 Plus. So a very good option there, completely compatible with iPhones.
Now if we refer back to the Hall of Fame the Huawei watch GT2 Pro also works really well with iPhones
and so does the Galaxy watch 3 and the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro.
So these are your options if you have an iPhone.
Now if WearOS by Google is your requirement. Then the absolute best WearOS smart watches of this year
is of course the Galaxy watch 5 series you also have the option for last year's Galaxy watch 4 classic or Galaxy watch 4 Series, that is also running the latest version of WearOS.
so you've got all of these options here for Wea OS but that's not all.
We have some non-samsung options as well. Here is the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS
That's WearOS by Google and we also have the Fossil Gen 6.
These 2 are running wear OS version 2. I haven't received an update for them yet and not forgetting the latest Pixel Watch.
Which is running the latest version of WearOS 3.5. Just like the Samsungs so here are a bunch of options for the best WearOS experience.
Now here is a category for small wrists. If you're someone who just wants something a little bit more compact on the wrist
then these are the best smart watches for smaller wrists.
So the first one is the Galaxy Watch 5 (40mm) model.
So a compact version of the Galaxy watch 5. You get the same experience, the same Health tracking, the same features, but just in a smaller form factor.
The next one I recommend for small wrists is, Galaxy Watch 4 Classic with the rotating bezel and this one is (42mm) in size.
But you do get that really nice rotating bezel.
Next watch ideal for small wrists: Pixel Watch. I'm sure none of us can deny, that this watch is small, compact 41mm in diameter
and it's quite a comfortable and attractive design. So that is another good one for small wrists.
One more to show you for small wrists: The Huawei Watch GT3 Pro, so this one is (43mm)
You can see these are all small in size, small watches, with smaller screens, compact, lightweight, but absolutely feature packed.
So the best watches for small wrists people.
So there you have it guys, my best smart watches of 2022, shared same time every year.
This list was based on my real-time experiences with these watches and again this video is not sponsored.
