8 Fossil Q Founder

Fossil Q Founder is the next entry in our list of the best smartwatches 2017. The smartwatch undoubtedly has a stunning design. Hardware specifications are also quite good (although some features like heart rate monitor and GPS are missing). We also didn’t like the flat tyre effect of the screen. The smartwatch could be a lot better if they had not included it.

9 Motorola Moto 360 Sport

Motorola Moto 360 Sport is specially designed for fitness freaks. So, it has all the features related to fitness like GPS, Optical Heart rate monitor, Barometer, and Vibration/Haptics engine.

While GPS and other sensors are quite accurate, we regret that we can’t say the same for Heart rate monitor. We still didn’t admire the flat tyre on screen. They should replace it because it just doesn’t appeal to the hard-core fitness fans.

Despite all these flaws, Motorola Moto 360 is one the best smartwatches 2017 you can buy in $250.

To our greatest surprise, swim-tracking is also offered in the gadget. However, it doesn’t have a heart rate monitor.
