The Best Smartwatches for Women in 2025

The Garmin vivoactive 4S balances strong health features with an affordable price, and in our testing its heart rate, sleep, and stress tools were dependable for daily wellness tracking. We found its 1.1-inch display a bit small for extensive on-watch reading, and during our review heavy GPS and music use noticeably reduced battery life despite an advertised long runtime. Scoring 7/10, it’s a practical pick for women who want sports and smart features—contactless payments and a variety of preloaded activity apps—while accepting a smaller screen and occasional need to recharge sooner under intensive use.

The Fitbit Charge 6 is a lightweight, comfortable tracker that we found excellent for sleep and all-day wear thanks to its week-long battery life in our testing. Built-in GPS and NFC are welcome inclusions, but during our review GPS accuracy was inconsistent and the proprietary charger is inconvenient if you forget it on a trip. With a 6/10 score it’s an affordable, practical tracker for habitual wearers who prioritize battery and comfort, though power users may be frustrated by spotty GPS performance and the extra cost of Fitbit Premium for advanced insights.

The fēnix 8 is our top-tier, do-it-all multisport watch — in our testing its titanium build, sapphire crystal and robust tracking gave it an impressive sense of premium durability and performance, and it earned a 9/10 for those qualities. We found battery life exceptional, delivering weeks in smartwatch mode, and the addition of mic and speaker upgraded everyday smart features, though during our review software glitches and the unit’s bulk were noticeable drawbacks for smaller wrists. If you prioritize multisport accuracy, ruggedness, and long battery life over a slim profile, the Fenix 8 is hard to beat.

The Venu 3 is a sporty, feature-rich choice that earned an 8/10 in our testing thanks to its vibrant 1.4-inch AMOLED and seriously long battery life — we saw the potential for up to 14 days in smartwatch mode (336 hours). We found its fitness tracking and 30+ sports modes reliable for everyday training, but during our review GPS accuracy suffered in tricky environments because it lacks multiband GNSS. If you want long runtimes and crisp visuals this is a great pick, but note limited third‑party app support and no LTE option.

The Fitbit Luxe leans fashion-forward while still covering core health features and scored a 6/10 in our testing; its compact profile makes it comfortable for all-day wear and the battery impresses for a small tracker at roughly 120 hours. We found the smaller display less satisfying than the Sense or Versa 3 for reading notifications, and during our review the lack of built-in GPS meant you’ll need your phone to map runs. It’s a stylish, discreet option if you prioritize looks and basic wellness tracking over standalone sports features.

The COROS PACE 3 is a budget-friendly sports watch that feels featherlight on the wrist and earned a modest score in our review for its value-focused approach. Our experience shows its long battery and affordable price are attractive for runners who want basic tracking without frills, but we found smartwatch features to be limited and the plastic construction lacks the premium feel of pricier rivals. If you prioritize lightweight comfort and straightforward fitness metrics over music apps or a polished interface, the Pace 3 does the essentials well.

The Garmin Forerunner 570 is aimed at athletes and scored an 8/10 in our testing thanks to robust activity tracking, a bright AMOLED touchscreen, and up to about 11 days of battery in smartwatch mode (264 hours). We found built-in GPS and over 30 activity profiles useful for varied training, but during our review the lack of offline maps limited navigation on unfamiliar routes and some advanced features now require a Garmin Connect Plus subscription. If you want dependable tracking and long runtime for training, this is a strong contender despite extra costs for premium features.

The vívosmart 5 prioritizes an easy-to-read experience with a 66% larger display that, in our testing, made notifications and metrics much easier to scan on the go. We found the interface straightforward and battery life respectable at around a week (168 hours), but during our review the lack of built-in GPS means you’ll need your phone for accurate outdoor routes and some users reported unreliable heart rate readings during intense workouts. If a simple touchscreen tracker with clear text is your goal, it’s comfortable and accessible, though not ideal for hardcore runners.

At $97, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is an affordable, lightweight tracker that in our testing proved comfortable for all‑day wear and delivered reliable core health tracking. We found the 240‑hour battery and IP68 water resistance make it a dependable companion, though the small display can be hard to read in bright sunlight. During our review the lack of built‑in GPS meant you’ll need your phone to map runs, which limits standalone use. With a 6/10 score it's a practical budget pick if comfort and battery matter more than sports features.

Garmin’s Lily 2 Classic blends a feminine, classic look with thoughtful health tracking — in our testing the watch delivered dependable heart rate and sleep stats and a battery that stretched up to about five days. We found the touch display occasionally unresponsive, and during our review the lack of built-in GPS meant you'll need your phone for accurate routes, which is a real limitation for runners. At a 7/10 score it’s a stylish everyday companion for wellness-focused users who value long battery life and comfortable wear, but don’t expect call handling or standalone navigation.

The ScanWatch 2 mixes classic analog looks with serious health sensors, and our experience shows its ECG and long 30-day battery are excellent for users focused on clinical-style monitoring. During our review the hybrid display provided subtle smart info without sacrificing style, but we found the lack of built-in GPS and a small digital panel made navigation and reading notifications less convenient. At 6.5/10 it’s a stylish, long-lasting option for health-focused users who prefer a traditional watch aesthetic over full smartwatch functionality.

The Amazfit GTR 3 Pro blends a sleek, classic look with practical connectivity, and in our testing its built-in mic and speaker made Bluetooth calls convenient during busy days. We found battery endurance excellent — up to about 12 days (288 hours) with typical use — and the elegant design suits both workouts and evenings out. During our review the software and touchscreen responsiveness were uneven and the lack of third‑party app support limits customization, so this is best for buyers who value style and battery over app ecosystem depth.

The OnePlus Watch 3 impressed us with long battery life and comprehensive health tools — in our testing it easily lasted up to five days in smart mode and the ECG and sleep analysis were solid for tracking trends. We found the rotating digital crown to be a genuinely useful navigation aid, but during our review the watch’s large size made it bulky on smaller wrists and its lack of LTE limits solo use without a phone. With a 7.5/10 score it’s a strong pick for fitness-minded users who prioritize battery and health features over compactness or standalone connectivity.

If extended adventures are your priority, the Instinct 3 Solar stands out — our experience shows solar charging dramatically stretches runtime, delivering up to 40 days in smartwatch mode and making it the battery champ in this roundup. We found the built-in LED flashlight handy for night activities and appreciated the broad outdoor activity support, though during our testing the lack of topographic maps and touchscreen can frustrate navigation-hungry users. Earning an 8.5/10, it’s a rugged, endurance-focused choice with IP68 water resistance that favors serious outdoor and multi-day explorers over those wanting sleek metal finishes.

Enduro 3 is built for endurance athletes who need long-lasting performance — in our testing solar charging and lightweight 63 g construction made it comfortable for multi-day adventures, and we saw battery life claims like up to 90 days in smartwatch mode play out in extended use. We found the titanium bezel and sapphire lens added toughness, but during our review the absence of a mic/speaker and an AMOLED display limits some smart features and screen vibrancy. Scoring 8/10, it’s a rugged, long-life companion best suited to users who value durability and marathon runtimes over flashy smart features.

The Amazfit Band 7 is an affordable, no-fuss fitness band that earned a 7/10 in our testing by delivering standout battery life — roughly 18 days (432 hours) — and surprisingly accurate heart rate and SpO₂ readings for the price. Our experience shows the AMOLED display is bright and easy to use, but we found the lack of built-in GPS limits standalone activity mapping and the TPU strap can get sweaty and come undone during workouts. If you want long runtime and solid health basics on a budget, this is a compelling value, though the app has a learning curve.

If you want a bright, premium-looking screen and reliable health tracking, the Galaxy Watch7 is a solid pick — in our testing its Super AMOLED display and Exynos W1000 processor made everyday interactions feel fast and vivid. We found heart rate and sleep monitoring to be accurate for routine tracking, but the 40-hour battery and the removal of the rotating bezel are practical downsides that matter during long days. During our review the watch scored 6.5/10, and our experience shows it shines best for Samsung-phone users where features are less limited. Expect IP68 water resistance and smooth app support for fitness, music, messaging, and health apps, but plan to charge daily if you use GPS or heavy notifications.

The Pixel Watch 3 punches above its price with a sleek circular design and tight Google service integration — in our testing its Fitbit sensors produced accurate health data and the display stayed bright and readable. We found durability compromises like the absence of sapphire glass and middling GPS/workout tracking compared with higher-end rivals, and the 24-hour battery on the smaller 41 mm model means nightly charging for heavier users. During our review it scored 8/10 as a cost-effective, stylish option if you primarily want seamless Google features and reliable day-to-day fitness tracking.

The Galaxy Watch7 (44mm) impressed with a bright Super AMOLED and the improved Exynos W1000 processor, earning a solid 7.5/10 in our testing for everyday responsiveness and health tracking. We found the display made notifications and workout stats pop, but during our review battery life was a consistent downside — many users struggle to get through a full day when heavily used — and charging still takes around 90–100 minutes. It’s a strong pick for Samsung-phone owners who want a vivid display and smooth performance, but plan to charge regularly.

The Galaxy Watch6 (44mm) delivers a premium-feeling Super AMOLED with sapphire protection and quick charging — in our testing it hit 50% in about 30 minutes, which is great for busy days. We found the display and daily responsiveness excellent, but during our review GPS-enabled battery life was limited to just over nine hours, which constrains serious outdoor tracking. Scoring 6.5/10, it’s a solid choice for users who value screen quality and fast top-ups, but not the best option if you need long GPS runtimes.

The Apple Watch Series 10 earned an 8.5/10 by tightening the fit and boosting screen brightness — in our testing the thinner, lighter design made it more comfortable for day-long wear and the larger display was easier to read at a glance. We found its advanced health tools, like sleep apnea detection, to be a standout, but during our review battery life was a real trade-off at about 18 hours and the Blood Oxygen app is currently disabled. If you want best-in-class health features and seamless app integration, Series 10 is hard to beat, though you’ll likely charge nightly.
