Smartwatches are quickly gaining popularity amongst the masses because of the functionality and features they offer.

Now, if you are looking to buy a smartwatch there are myriad options available in the market.

But worry not, because there are multiple android smartwatches that are equally good as the Apple ones.
Here is the list of the best android smartwatches to look out for this year:
