Whether looking for last-minute gifts for your active family, or just something to keep those New Year’s resolutions alive, a smart watch could be just the thing. We know what you’re thinking … they look like a spy kid, but with our growing dependency on tech and the need to stay connected, many smartwatch brands step up to the function-meets-fashion plate.
Check out these stylish looks for multipurpose use for fitness, travel, staying connected with the kids, business and everything in between — spoiler, there’s no Apple Watch on this list.
Strictly Fitness
If you like the square face, definitely a smartwatch look of an Apple Watch, but with a fashionable twist, the Fitbit Versa is perfect. With Bluetooth built in, round-the-clock heart rate tracker, room for hundreds of songs and a variety of health and wellness tools, this watch is for the fitness-focused traveler or anyone in your family vowing to take more steps in 2020.

Fashion and Function
With the face of an analog watch and the heart of a smartphone, Garmin’s vívomove HR is for your active family member. With subtle displays of your heart rate, distance, steps, stress tracking and more, this watch is a discreet, functional and timeless piece you can wear (nearly) anywhere. Just a fun fact, you can never wear smartwatches to important events like weddings.
Mix and Match
kind of nailed a blend of subtle fitness tracking with classic timepiece look — the best of both worlds for your picky family. With hybrid options and sport-dedicated styles, Fossil offers part digital, part analog faces, full analog with digital capabilities and fully customizable digital faces with a slew of band options. You can basically build your own smartwatch with Fossil, perfect for your fickle teens and choosey adult children. And yourself, why not? It’s the holidays!
