Smart watch

Why he’ll love it

A smartwatch tracks his steps, workouts and sleep, and shows texts on his wrist. The most important check is compatibility, since some watches only work fully with iPhone. Look at battery life, water resistance and whether he'd prefer a sporty or a classic look. He'll love tracking his fitness goals, getting notifications without pulling out his phone and paying contactlessly from his wrist. Consider screen size, comfort and the range of watch faces and straps. Check how often it needs charging, as some last days and others a week or more. It suits tech fans, gym lads and anyone who likes to keep an eye on their health and stay connected. It’s a great pick if he’s into tech and gadgets. Double-check compatibility with his phone, laptop or smart home system before you order, as that is the one thing that trips people up. At £100+ it’s a big-ticket gift for milestone birthdays, anniversaries or a special Christmas, so it’s worth taking time to choose the right one. Prices and availability change, so check the latest details, sizes and reviews on the product page before you buy, and keep the receipt in case he wants to swap it.
