Best Smartwatches That Aren't Apple Watch (Summer 2025) | Top Watches For All Budgets!
Reviewing the best smartwatches of 2025, from premium WearOS wearables to budget-friendly options. The Pixel Watch 4 is almost here, while Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and the OnePlus Watch 3 are solid smartwatch choices – but don’t forget Huawei, Xiaomi, Nothing and other offerings!
Let us know your thoughts on the best wearables of 2025 down below.
The Pixel Watch 3 is a respectable upgrade over the previous generation, despite the lack of sapphire glass and the less-than-stellar battery life (for the 41mm model). Here’s hoping the Pixel Watch 4 can upgrade in that area. Otherwise, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is better for longevity and boasts a more rugged design, if you want to stick with WearOS.
Alternatively, the OnePlus Watch 3 (or OPPO X2) improves that battery life thanks to its clever dual OS and dual chipset design. Definitely one of my favourite smartwatches right now.
As well as quite a few premium devices, I’ve tested some budget friendly fitness trackers and great value efforts like the Nothing Watch Pro and Xiaomi’s Redmi Watch 5 series. From the Ticwatch Pro 5 Enduro to the Huawei Watch 5, here’s the best smartwatch options for battery life, gym use and more.
And if you’re after an Apple Watch style design for a lot less cash, check out the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro.
What’s your own favourite smartwatch as we prance our way through 2025? Let us know below!

I suppose you can’t use Apple Watches because then we’d already know which was the best, then it would spoil the video 😉
So well presented.
Hello Mr tech spurt
Please gimmie one phone as a gift
I’ll appreciate it
Thank you
What about amazefit BIP6 ?
Anyone else playing Uncle Spurt’s Shenanigans drinking game?
Great Video Tech Spurt
I bought the CMF watch pro 3, honestly for the price it’s very good!
google Fi gives me a free LTE connection for the Samsung watch Ultra, picked up last years model and saved near $250 usd
edit to mention the Huawei WATCH 4 Pro Space Edition, it’s awesome!
Where’s the Garmin ?
Apple bollocks 😂
Amazfit Balance 2, più della metà di questi, se li mangia…
OnePlus Watch 3 43mm is another contender for the ones that just dislike the HUGE watch 3
Why isn’t amazfit on here?
I wish the withings could do a black on white screen for the white dial watches. That would look awesome
One plus 3 watch for a modest exerciser. Change my mind 🧐
You seem cool as hell mate. I love the office, you have good taste in anime
I went from an iPhone with Apple Watch 7 to a Samsung with the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. I like the design on the 8 Classic and the battery life is much better. Apple watch has 18 hours new and mine was at 82% battery health. Instead of charging twice per day I charge every other day and I never get close to running out of battery.
Unfortunately, No Amazfit on this list is a crime. Especially with the recent watches released. Other than that, very great list
The "Smart"watch? The stupidest creation ever loosed on the feeble minded.
I have oneplus watch 2 it has almost same and I am not upgrading to watch 3;
I say if you go the Samsung route. Skip the 8 and the 7 and get the 6 classic for $200-250 USD. It’s 95% the same watch with the rotating bezel, minus the ugly/bulky squircle look.
Apple fan boy here, I actually want an non Apple solution. just the video i wanted. Thanks. Long time subscriber.
Wantum!
Great channel. You are a riot. Great job mate.
Amazfit Balance 2. Enough said.
where is garmin?
what are the best watches ranked from worse to best ?
Hahaha🤣, cool thumbnailmu, make me want to click this video👍
What are your recommendations specifically for people with thin wrists? I’m a man with skinny wrists just like yours. Looking for a small watch that’s also slim.
Don’t get a smart watch that’s expensive 😂 it will be in the bin in 2 years. Get a cheap one. Don’t make the mistake I did and save ur money or get a nice old school watch that will last you years
Cuales compatibles con apple
I bought one of the 45mm Pixel 3 watches and promptly returned it. They don’t include or even have available a band big enough for my wrist. I’m an ordinary fellow of sturdy build, and have owned dozens of wristwatches and a couple of cheap smart watches without ever encountering this problem before.
Here I am with my watch series 10 with about 18 hours of battery life with AOD on. I keep it off on my watch though for better battery life
what an absolutely worthless review lmao.
All youve told us is that these are all watches, have battery life and use apps.
Thanks dude.
Best smartwatch awu2 and best sport watch garmin
Guys, share your experiences or recommendations for the best watch other than Apple Watch that works with iPhone.😊
Garmin?
No garmin?
Hi. which smartwatch can measure blood pressure?? My headphones are broken so I can’t hear what you are saying 🙁
How about the amazfit balance2 which I have or amazfit active2
Was hoping to see Amazfit Balance 2 in this…
Been a fan of your channel for a while, mate. Couldn’t help catching that excellent choice of search on the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro (@13:10). That would be the ONLY reason for me to grab this lovely! 🤣
Uncle Spurt what watches similar to the samsung ultra watch could you recommend for chinese rom phones since they will not work with wear OS watches?
Time to update this and include the Google
2 full weeks on a single charge?? That must be if you NEVER TOUCH THE DAMN THING.
Yes, I’ll strap some overpriced janky Samsung or Google bollox to my wrist instead!! Grifters be grifting.
Huawei Get pro series 👍🏻 14 days min battery and a cracking watch. Don’t bother with GT 4…I’ve had from original to the now 5 series GT pro. It has golf courses on it? How many of a tually play golf ??
Apple overpriced? Have u see Garmin ? Apple is even 50% compare to Fenix and 970
Great review, but you completely ignored the Amazfit offering, great value for money and great battery life!
Pebble is coming out…
