Most of the best smartwatches of 2015 you can already buy in stores or online use Google’s Android Wear. There is also the choice of two Apple Watches, one large and one small, in a variety of finishes, but all running the same operating system, watchOS. Then there is also an outlier, but as Microsoft only makes this, that role falls to Kickstarter-funded Pebble, with its growing range of versatile smartwatches.

6. Asus ZenWatch
Best Deal: From $129 here
If you're after a stylish smartwatch that does your basic range of Android Wear things, the ZenWatch is worth a look. There is little difference from the other similarly priced Android Wear watches, but it's well put together and looks good.
It doesn't stand up to the Sony Smartwatch 3 in terms of battery life or general ruggedness, and if you prefer a round face, well, clearly this isn't for you. However, this timepiece is in the top tier of rectangular Android Wear watches on the design front.
There are better Android Wear watches out there for a similar price, but if you are personally fond of the ZenWatch's stylings then it won't let you down.
It's worth bearing in mind that Android Wear updates mean that this and other previous generation smartwatches will remain near the cutting edge for longer, although eventually the processor will presumably struggle to keep up with the demands of new features.
