Design snobs, this one’s for you. Most smartwatches are extremely functional but almost always lose a few points when it comes to design. Not this one. There is a rotating digital crown and two programmable buttons, with the former making it feel more like a traditional timepiece. However much one may love this one, but it’s not something that will be worn to run a marathon. Yet, there are all the tech hubba-hubbas in there — GPS, a heart rate monitor, speedometer, altimeter, barometer and a compass. And there is a stress monitor… useful if you running late for a board meeting!

The third-generation Connected is not only about great looks. A number of spec goodies have been packed in — better screen resolution and a variety of new sensors. Yes, there is GPS connectivity but also a tap away is heart rate, compass, accelerometer, and gyroscopic sensors. The big USP is precision sports feature. Powered by Google’s WearOS, it’s a macho companion for running walking or golf. In fact, there are maps of more than 39,000 courses worldwide, complete with 2D/3D plan, satellite view, distance to obstacles and distance from strokes. Get working on your handicap.

It doesn’t scream smartwatch right away, instead, the efforts of the French gadgeteer have gone towards coming up with simple-looking device. In case you are impressed with the ECG function on the Apple Watch but want an alternative, this makes a good buy. Almost all the big functions of the Apple Watch are here, ECG, blood oxygen and heart-rate monitoring to tracking your activities and workouts, plus, sleep parameters. The best part of it is the oblong design that veers towards a traditional-looking piece of wristwear. And it boasts an exceptionally-good battery life of up to 30 days.
