Smart watches for women

In the early years of wearables, women were an afterthought. We'd be stuck with large, oversized devices. Fortunately, things have changed, and many brands now offer slimmed-down versions of their smartwatches and sports watches that don’t shortchange women when it comes to features. There's been a rise of "unisex" options for smartwatches, with case sizes shrinking down to 38-42mm to suit thinner wrists. We’ve also seen a welcome rise in female-specific features – things like proper menstrual cycle tracking, the ability to change training programs to allow for pregnancy, or safety measures when out and about. Speaking of pink, though, we admit it is nice to have options other than black (or very very dark grey), especially for watches we want to wear all day, and all evening too. A bit of style or sparkle is always nice, as is the ability to switch out straps to match different outfits. With those properties in mind, we’ve rounded up the very best smartwatches, sports watches, and fitness trackers for women.
