2. Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 44mm Bluetooth AI Smartwatch

Second Place – Samsung Galaxy Watch 7

The Galaxy Watch 7 is a powerhouse in its own right, offering a stylish 44mm frame loaded with next-gen features. Galaxy AI takes fitness and wellness tracking to a smarter level—with Energy Score and Wellness Tips helping you optimize your routines. Heart rate tracking is more precise than ever, filtering out noise from movement for real-time insights. It's an excellent pick for Android users who want personalization and performance.

The design is modern and sporty, making it great for everyday wear or active lifestyles. However, while it excels in AI-driven fitness, it may lack the polished feel and broader app ecosystem of its Apple rival. Still, it's a smart, bold choice with tons of upside.
