These Are the Five Highest Rated Apple Watch Alternatives on Amazon

There is no doubt about it. The Apple Watch is slick. But what if you are over the iPhone? What if you like your Android phone? What if you just don’t want to drop a chunk of your rent check on another tech accessory you might eventually hate?

There are so many alternatives to the Apple Watch that none of that is a deal breaker when it comes to getting in on the convenience of carrying your tech world on your wrist.

Some of them aren’t even expensive. We found five that people love that will work with the phone you have.

Fitbit Versa Lite Edition Smart Watch

Fitbit has its own operating system so it works with Apple or Android phones. And, since it has been focusing on health since before smart watches were even a thing, it’s a system that has thought of everything when it comes to motivating you to live healthy.

It does all the other things a smart watch should do, too, such as alert you to texts and calls and let you pay for things and listen to music with only your watch.

This is the sort of price you’d expect a low-end watch to be and it does so much more.

It has a continuous heart monitor. A selection of slick watch faces. It will coach you as you swim laps, run, or workout. And you can install any Android apps that work with Google Wear on it so that you don’t have to consult your phone to see whose calling, read that text, talk to Google, or much more.

It’s waterproof so you won’t kill it if you get stuck in the rain, wear it in the shower, or take it swimming with you.
