Smartwatches are one of my favourite types of gadgets; they allow you to monitor your health, fitness and give you access to useful services without needing to carry a huge phone around. Plus they tend to look pretty awesome.
The worst thing about them is when they stop working after few days, or sometimes even worse. What I look for in a smartwatch is long battery life of at least a week; this way I don’t need to remember to charge yet another device every night. In this post I’ll be showing you the very best smartwatches that feature long battery lives. I’ve included options in every price range.
