What smartwatch would you recommend? Also, I'm an Android phone user. ❣

    It depends on what you plan to use it for and what functions you need. I am a runner and walker, so I like my Garmin Forerunner. I can track my pace, HR, cadence, etc. while I run. I don't need a lot of bells and whistles so I have one of the lower end models, the 55. I actually preferred the 35 because it was easier for me to use, but this one had a couple of functions I was curious about, like calories and stress levels.

    My husband and I both have Samsung watches and like them.

    I have an old Fitbit Alta. It works for me. The app for it works with my iPhone, but it also worked with my Samsung when I had it. It also syncs with MyFitnessPal and my scale (which is slightly creepy).

    Think of what you want from it, and if you want to charge it every night, or wear it for several days 24/7. What size and shape are your preferences, etc. As long as you don't know that it's impossible to give recommendations. Also, dcrainmaker has been testing sportwatches for years.

    Garmin for sure, but I second the suggestion to check out DC Rainmaker.

    Another.....what do you want it to do for you? If you're planning on running or cycling etc and want a GPS enabled device Garmins are hard to beat but they've got a very wide product range, agree with the recommendation to check out DCRainmaker's reviews.
