Apple Watch Series 5 – $384
Not alone is this smartwatch trendy; it is also the best out there. Beyond being an Apple product-something that could have added to its popularity, one distinctive feature that differentiates it from other watch series by Apple is its Always-On Property. This feature allows it to keep the time and additional information on it visible for as long as it is on.
Although other smartwatches have this feature, none can match the wits and finesse of Apple Watch 5. It can be paired with an iPhone to make calls or send texts. Apple smartwatches sell out fast. As such, the best time to order one is now. It came out on September 20, 2019, and many vendors will still have it in stock.
No other Android-based smartwatch outshines Galaxy Watch Active 2 in beauty and features. Although Samsung will still have to up a few things to match Apple’s Watch series, Galaxy Watch Active 2 comes with top-end features that justify its price. The fact that it is light, slim, and comfortable to wear is a reason many buyers are trooping to get it.
Although the display size is just about 1.2inches, users can see all the information and time. Its health features, such as ECG and heart rate sensors, workout modes, sleep & stress monitoring, and others, are fantastic. If you want a smartwatch that will allow you to switch platforms, Galaxy Watch Active 2 makes the right choice. It pairs smoothly with iOS devices – something that Apple smartwatches do not support.

Samsung Galaxy Watch – $199.99
Galaxy Watch is a smartwatch released by Samsung in August 2018 – a year before the Galaxy Watch Active 2 became available. More than a million units of it have been sold this year alone. Two things that users cannot stop commending this smartwatch for are its excellent battery life and good screen display. With just a single charge, this watch can last up to four days, even if used extensively.
There are two models of this smartwatch-the large 46mm model and a much smaller 42mm model. The larger model has a higher battery life than the smaller one. Another great plus to this smartwatch, which helped to popularize it, is its compatibility with Android and iOS devices. Its Always-On feature also makes its health information and time visible always.

Fossil Sport – $219
Away from Apple and Samsung, another smartwatch that rocked the market in 2019 is Fossil Sport. Its top-end features and low price tag are what keeps commending it to buyers. Granted, the GPS might be a bit slow; however, many of the features on Apple and Samsung smartwatches are available on it too.
-
Mobvoi TicWatch Pro – $224.25
TicWatch Pro is among the best smartwatches to have made its way to the market in 2019. It came with a unique double display layered on each other. The layer on top is transparent and has an LCD that can show you the time, health info such as heart rate, and other details.
Down the upper LCD is the second screen. It is brightly colored and offers all the benefits that Wear OS affords. The battery is strong enough to last for a few days, and if placed on low Power Mode, it can stretch to 30 days at a single charge. These merits account for its popularity.
-
Apple Watch 4 – $339.99
Released on September 21, 2018, Apple Watch 4 continues to be a favorite smartwatch among users in 2019. Its excellent upgrade in comparison to others makes a lot of users stick to it, not minding that it is a bit pricey. The display is incredibly more massive than those of its predecessors, and it is lightweight. Several users hail its display’s round edges and heart rate functionality, and that is why it is still relevant in 2019 despite the release of an upgrade – Apple Watch 5.
-
Mobvoi TicWatch E2 – $111.99
Not many people are familiar with this smartwatch brand until 2019. However, its great features that come at a very affordable price contribute to its full acceptance. It is among the cheapest smartwatches anyone can purchase right now. It is waterproof and comes with a battery that can withstand 4 hours of intensive usage. Similarly, its in-built GPS helps to track sleep time and records heart rate.
-
Fitbit Ionic – $193
As the name already suggests, this smartphone excels in different fitness options. It even has a coaching session dedicated to helping users maintain their body weight. When it first came out for sales, it was pricey. However, as soon as the price came down by seventy dollars, the sales increased significantly.
-
Apple Watch 3 – $229
This smartwatch was the best in 2017, but it continues to record huge sales in 2019 partly due to its price reduction and more-than-average features. Users can upgrade to the latest Apple Watch 5 to have a more enriching experience. Being able to swim while this watch is on the wrist is one thing that several users keep applauding this smartwatch. Its LTE connection, too, was among its selling tricks at the time of its first release. Although there are Apple Watch 4 and 5 now, its affordability and possibility of an upgrade are reasons why it is still beloved
-
Fitbit Versa 2 – $182.94
This smartwatch combines the functions of a time-teller and that of a fitness trainer. Among its features that make it widely acceptable are Alexa integration, compact body, and Always-On display. Fitbit Versa 2 only improves slightly on its earlier predecessor- Fitbit Versa. Although it doesn’t have the GPS feature, the battery life is highly commendable. Where your need is primarily a smartwatch to keep you fit, this model is the right choice.
Conclusion
In all, Apple smartwatches take the lead as both the most popular brand and the best. The only downside to Apple smartwatches is their inability to integrate with Android devices and their expensive price tag. It is evident from the list above that the features of each smartwatch model and their prices play a significant role in popularizing them. So, if you plan to buy one before 2019 elapses, you should consider these reasons.
