A good battery life, options to monitor body vitals, and a clean OS. Here is what to keep in mind if you are looking at investing in a smartwatch

While there are several ways to define a smartwatch, choosing one for yourself is a tedious task. And we are here to make that a tad easier with this buying guide.
Display
A good, bright display is the most-desired feature in a smartwatch.

Opt for AMOLED display smartwatches because those are vibrant and you can identify the fonts even under the sun.
Sensors
