The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is top of our list of the best smartwatches as the best watch for most people, provided you’re not already using an iPhone. It’s a great watch that's reasonably priced, and boasts advanced health and fitness features, good sleep tracking features, great communication tools, and a wealth of apps courtesy of the Google Play store. 

Right now, you can get the larger 44mm model of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 for under $175 in Amazon’s US deals, a huge discount of 44%. The smaller 40mm model is also on sale in the US for $151, a 46% discount.
