BEST SPORTY SMARTWATCH

PEBBLE TIME ($329, Challenger) Perfect for time-strapped travellers. Raised buttons on the side allow you to operate the watch without having to look at it, and the coloured electronic paper display makes data readable even under strong sunlight. Best of all, this Android- and iOS-compatible watch lasts up to seven days on a single charge – a feat compared to other smartwatches.

POLAR A360 ($299, www.polar.com) Going beyond steps taken, distance covered and calories burnt, this activity-tracking watch also comes with a built-in heart rate monitor, so you can monitor your workout intensity. Its intuitive touchscreen interface and user-friendly app score bonus points.
