Smartwatches become a need for people who get a lot of notificaions on their phone throughout the day, and they find themselves distracted all day, having to pause to check the latest notification - taking out the ohone when it beeps / whirrs, looking, putting the phone back where it was. Repeat. All day long.

Good smartwatches for Android phones can be easily paired with any Android phone. They come for many wrist sizes and dress styles. They have longer lasting battery. Finally, they are fast to respond to your touches and voice commands. They are good at tracking your walking and other light exercise .

Good smartwatcehs are also good at tracking your fitness, as good (even better) than dedicated fitness tracking machines.
