Many people have hopped on the smartwatch bandwagon early and now feel naked without their watch, others are just now wrapping their head around a watch that can track everything they do — from their steps and heart rate to their sleep patterns.

Whatever your preference, there’s a watch for you and even for your little ones to start them off on a healthy path from elementary school or younger.

The Apple Watch is one of the most sought-after smartwatches in the game, and here’s why.

The Series `0 model combines all the activity tracking of its elder models and the high-speed cellular capabilities of the latest iPhone, making it a hands-free experience to take calls, send messages, and also track your heart rate, sleep, blood oxygen levels and more. The watch and band come in various colors, including the above navy, rose gold, pink, red, silver, gold and more.

Who said Kenneth Cole was only about fashion.

Not that this smartwatch isn’t stunning, as you can pair this with a work outfit or when working out for 24/7 health monitoring. The watch comes in under the $200 mark, making it an affordable must-have for health tracking, recording sleep patterns, steps, heart rate and more features that compete with the most high-tech of watches. The watch and strap come in a versatile black, with customizable watch faces depending on your activity.

For a less expensive Apple Watch with some of the highest quality specs, the SE model is for you.

This watch is about $200 less than the Series 6, but still has the GPS and fitness tracking you need from a smartwatch. The watch is water and sweat-proof, so never fear when jumping into the pool to get in some cardio. The screen is also the same size as the Series 6, with an easy-to-read display showing you your cycling directions, sleep tracking, music and podcasts and more.

This isn’t your mother’s Fitbit.

Taking a huge step forward from the original model, this Fitbit is as high-tech as it gets, complete with Bluetooth to easily sync with Alexa and other voice assistants. This new model comes with the most advances 24/7 heart tracking with PurePulse 2.0, as well as sleep tracking, blood oxygen measuring and more. Sold on Amazon, the watch comes in the above black color as well as in navy, light pink and light purple.

For a slimmer fit and a stylish design, check out the Fitbit Luxe.

Sold at Best Buy, the smaller model looks like the original skinny smartwatch, but still has an impressive AMOLED color display screen and easy-to-use display. Even though the watch itself is small, the little battery can go up to five whole days without a charge, making this a great choice for those who want to track sleep, activity and exercise all day and all night long. The slim smartwatch comes in three colors, including the pictured white, an orchid pink and a solid black model.

Possibly one of the most affordable smartwatches, the Wyze is one to watch.

The smartwatch is sold on Amazon and can easily track your fitness levels when paired with any smartphone, iOS or Android. The watch is waterproof as well as Bluetooth enabled, syncing up with Alexa to help you out hands-free. The best part is that the watch can track your heart rate for up to 10 whole days on one charge, giving you a great overview of your health without needing to take it off for days at a time.

Android lovers, rejoice. The Samsung watch is a highly requested one, now ranked as an “Amazon Choice” product online.

The time is ticking to get one, too, as the watch is now on sale for a limited time. It comes in black, silver and a stunning rose gold, measuring 44mm for the perfect fit. The circular screen is also a nice touch as opposed to the square Apple version, mimicking a real watch.

Keep track of your kid’s activity levels, even when keeping track of them at all is a challenge.

This adorable and kid-friendly Fitbit is great to not only keep your kids motivated to get in their 30 minutes of activity per day, but also make sure they are sleeping well and overall healthy. The watch also comes with some pretty fun features, such as badges to collect when achieving goals and the option to compete with the whole family with fitness challenges for all Fitbit family members.
