Officially, the 12 Best Smart Watches

If you think watches are only as smart as the owner, you've been living under a rock for the past decade. We've been at the mercy of our machines for a while now, and many of us treat a watch as just an extension of our cell phones. They take your calls, alert you of your texts, and let you adjust the volume of your music or the track playing—all without picking up your phone. That's not all they have to be though. The best smartwatches are the ones that track your health and fitness and count your steps and calories while helping you look your damn best wearing it. At Esquire, we know our shit when it comes to tech, but what we're known for is style. A smartwatch needs to look stylish. We wouldn't recommend something that would make you look like a dork.
