As the name suggests, this is a great smartwatch for folks who want to track their active lifestyles. It's also perfect if you seek a smartwatch with a simple, traditional design. Best of all, the cost is reasonable, starting at $119.98.

If you're looking for an affordable fitness option, the Fitbit Versa Lite is a safe bet. It's slightly pricier than the Samsung Galaxy at $131.39. And it has every feature you'll want to start monitoring your health. That is, after all, what it was designed to do.
3. Fossil Sport
Fossil is a premium watch brand, and its smartwatches don't disappoint. The new Fossil Sport comes complete with the latest Google operating system. The design is also comfortable and sleek, belying the watch's many features.
2. Fitbit Versa 2

The Versa Lite is an entry-level smartwatch. But the Versa 2 dials it up a notch. The screen is better (and always on), it includes a microphone, and includes Fitbit Pay (allowing you to make purchases on the go).
