5 smartwatches that I am adding to my New Year gifting list
The start of a new year feels like the right moment to give something that genuinely adds value, which is why I always consider smartwatches for my gifting list. Beyond telling time, they help the people I care about stay mindful of their health, manage daily routines better and stay connected through the day. Features like heart-rate tracking, fitness nudges and timely alerts make them feel less like gadgets and more like everyday companions.
From partners and parents to siblings and close friends, I see smartwatches as gifts that keep giving long after the celebrations end. That's why I've shortlisted smartwatches that combine stylish design, reliable performance and practical features, making it easier to choose something meaningful for the people.

Both matter, but consider the recipient's lifestyle first. Someone who exercises will value tracking and sensors, while a fashion-oriented person may appreciate style and display quality.Do smartwatches work across different phones?
