Which smartwatch suits me? Five questions and answers

Choosing the smartwatch that suits you best is something you should take some time to do. A smartwatch is often an investment, so you want to be sure that you will enjoy your new purchase. That is why we have listed five important questions about smartwatches for you.

1. What type are you?

Are you a real gadget freak who always uses the latest apps first and can’t wait for the latest generation smartphone to be released? Or is technology more something that makes your life easier for you, but is not the most important thing? That is the first question you should ask yourself when considering purchasing a smartwatch.

Are you crazy about using all available technology to its limits? Then go for a comprehensive smartwatch that works independently of your smartphone. You can find this type of smartphone from Samsung, Garmin or the latest generation of Fossil smartwatches, among others. For example, the Samsung Galaxy, Garmin Fenix ​​6 or the Fossil Garrett.

2. How smart do you want to be?

Do you especially like the smart functions or find them useful as an extra? Then take a look at hybrid or connected smartwatches that combine the benefits of smart with the functions of a regular watch. For example, the hybrid smartwatches from Fossil or the Bluetooth Connected watches from Casio.

Do you want to use the smartwatch for specific functions, for example to work on your fitness? Then the choice for a specifically sports-oriented smartwatch makes sense. For example, a simple activity tracker from Calypso or one of the advanced connected sports watches from the G-Shock G-Squad collection.

3. Which style suits you?

Do you have a casual style or are you dressed more businesslike? Do you mainly use your smartwatch for exercising or do you wear it all day? There is a smartwatch for every style. For example, the Swiss connected watches from Jaguar or the ultra-sporty Vivo-Active from Garmin. Or are you perhaps more of a fashionista who goes for a stylish smartwatch from Michael Kors?

4. What may it cost?

At Techzle we sell activity trackers from €39. What a smartwatch costs depends on the software, functions, hardware and materials used. Once you have answered the above questions and you know what your budget is, you can make a choice. Go to our smartwatch page and click on the price range in which you want to buy a smartwatch.

5. What else should I pay attention to?

As the great Johan Cruyff said: “Every advantage has its disadvantage.” A complete smartwatch is extremely useful, but consumes power and needs to be charged often. And a simple activity tracker may be affordable, but it also offers little functionality. That is why we have finally listed some advantages and disadvantages of the different types of smartwatches for you, so that you can make an even better choice.

Have fun with your new smartwatch!
