We’re not gonna lie. When Steve Jobs first unveiled the Apple Watch back in April 2015, we didn’t expect the market to get so damn big to the point we have to count down the top 10 best smartwatches in 2021.

Clearly, Mr. Turtleneck and sneakers was onto something well before anyone knew what the next big thing would be. And now every tech company and their dog are selling their own version of a smartwatch. 

While most smartwatch owners will stick with either iOS or Android, others may want to look at various other options out there that might be more suitable depending on their smartphone of choice. Then it’s really just a matter of understanding both your wants and needs in a wearable device.

Do you need a smartwatch with all the bells and whistles or a smartwatch that’s just really good at watching every step you take, like The Police? Maybe you need access to golf course maps, health monitoring features, or accurate timekeeping. Or perhaps you just want a fancy way to tell the time.

Whatever it is you’re looking for, you’ll be certain to find the perfect smartwatch companion for you in our top 10 list of the best smartwatches in 2021.
