The best Android smartwatches can do everything from monitoring your heartrate and keeping track of your steps to receiving calls and messages.
For Android mobile phone users, an Android smartwatch is often the best option for getting the most out of your wearable as Apple watches aren't always fully compatible with Android devices - and vice versa.
We've rounded up the most popular Android smartwatches on the Which? site for 2025. While we would never recommend a bad model, you'll have to sign up or sign in to see just how well they performed.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 6
We like: Waterproof, simple to use
We don't like: Doesn't work with Apple iOS devices
The successor to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5. The Watch 6 is available in 40mm and 44mm case sizes. Its sister release - the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic - is a bit bigger with a slightly different design.
We tested the watch with a silicone strap, but there are loads of options to choose from, including fabric and leather.
It has near-field communication (NFC), so you can make purchases using Samsung Pay. The app is compatible only with devices running Android - this means you can’t install it on iOS (Apple) devices.

Amazfit Active
We like: Easy to use
We don't like: Doesn't have access to all third-party workout apps
A smartwatch from Amazfit with a sporty look. It doesn’t look unlike an Apple Watch with its 1.75-inch square screen.
It’s mostly made from plastic with a metallic frame around the screen, but it does feel like good quality, and it comes with a silicone strap and is available in black, purple or pink.

Garmin Fenix 8
We like: Is compatible with both Android and Apple iPhones
We don't like: Very expensive
An adventure smartwatch with premium features built to endure rugged conditions – and one of the most expensive models we’ve tested. It comes with a round, colour AMOLED 47mm display and a silicone strap. There are several different colours to choose from including orange, yellow, black and white.
There are five control buttons on the side of the watch face and a built-in microphone and speaker. It comes with a generous 32GB of storage and has a 40-metre dive rating for scuba and freediving.

You don't need to splash the cash, these are the best budget smartwatches
Google Pixel Watch 3 45mm
We like: Option of an always-on screen
We don't like: Can't be used with an iPhone
Google’s third Pixel smartwatch.
Its round display has an AMOLED colour touchscreen with 456 x 456-pixel resolution, which is higher than on its predecessor. The display is available in two sizes, 41mm or 45mm, and we’ve reviewed the latter here.
With 5 ATM water resistance, it can be used in shallow water, but it’s worth knowing that the resistance can depreciate over time.
It comes with a silicone strap, which is the one we tested. You can buy a fabric or leather strap separately, but these aren’t water resistant.
It’s only compatible with Android phones and can’t be connected to an Apple iPhone.

Samsung Galaxy Watch FE
We like: A built-in microphone and loudspeaker so you can make/take calls
We don't like: Some features only available if you have a Samsung phone
It’s the entry-level model in Samsung’s 2024 range of smartwatches. In terms of functionality, it’s very similar to the more expensive Galaxy Watch 7, but has an older processor, smaller battery and lower-resolution screen.
The Watch FE is available in a 40mm case size (compared to the twin 40mm and 44mm sizes available with the Watch 7) and in black, blue, or silver. You can choose from many different strap options, including fabric and leather materials.
This watch has built-in GPS and is compliant with MIL-STD-810H certification, which means it’s designed to withstand harsher conditions. These include higher altitudes, high and low temperatures, freezing conditions, shock, and immersion.
