Huawei has announced a series of new smartwatches, which vary considerably in design and features and are ready to take on the best from Apple and Samsung.

Now with a speaker and microphone, the Garmin Fenix 8 is pretty similar to the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, but only one wearable is worth buying.

Samsung usually doesn't change as much year to year with its smartwatches, but add an extra 12 months, and the Galaxy Watch 7 feels like a bigger departure from the Galaxy Watch 5. This is partly due to hardware changes and how Wear OS and Samsung's One UI function when better components are inside.
