Five editor-tested models made Men’s Health’s best-smartwatch list, with Samsung’s Galaxy Watch9 named best overall and Apple Watch Ultra 3 taking best Apple smartwatch.
The ranking focused on balancing style, durability and fitness data after weeks of real-world testing by editors who evaluated comfort, versatility, battery life and workout performance.
Suunto Race 2 won for stylish running, Casio G-Shock Move DW-H5600 for durability, and TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E5 for luxury, reflecting different use cases from trail training to formal wear.
Battery life remains a key divider: full-featured watches typically last 1 to 2 days, while fitness-focused models can stretch 5 to 20-plus days and hybrids up to a month.
The guide underscores a broader smartwatch pitch for men who want one device to handle health tracking, GPS and coaching without sacrificing office or evening style.
