Best smartwatch for less than 200 euros (2022)

Smartwatches can register your sports activities and they also come with extra smart functions. You can browse your calendar, reply to a message, control your music or even make a phone call from your wrist. These are the best watches for which you pay less than 200 euros.

Best value smartwatch – Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

While smart watches are useful, they still perform fewer tasks compared to your phone. There is nothing wrong with that in itself, but it is therefore not surprising that you want to pay less for a smartwatch. A watch that gives you a lot of smart features in return for your money is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4.

Okay, now you’re probably thinking, “why is a 2021 watch the best buy in 2022?” The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 will receive updates from Samsung for four years, which means it will last longer in software terms than most other watches. On top of that, the price of the Galaxy Watch 4 has plummeted in recent months, and by the time you read this article, the watch might be even cheaper than listed below. That makes him particularly interesting now.

Samsung Health and Application Market

That and the combination of the large Play Store application market with the strong sports features of Samsung Health. The Galaxy Watch 4 was the first smartwatch with Wear OS 3, the version of Google’s smartwatch operating system that has been given a good coat of paint. But it doesn’t stop with paint alone. Google Maps, support for contactless payments in Google Wallet, an integration with the Google Assistant: these are all assets of the Galaxy Watch 4. This watch also benefits from new features that Google has unveiled with the launch of its own Pixel Watch watch , like the new Google Home app for Wear OS 3.

In addition to the regular Galaxy Watch 4, there is also the Classic variant that has the design features of a classic watch. My colleague Claudia has extensively tested the Galaxy Watch 4 and she wrote this in her review:

“I have enjoyed wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. It is a watch that is fast and accurate in operation and has a better battery life than the Wear OS watches of recent years. (…) In this smartwatch category At least the Watch 4 series is currently the best you can buy.”
