Or if Apple isn't your thing then Android Wear now has a wide range of devices supporting the cause including the stunning Moto 360, the fitness-friendly Sony Smart Watch 3 and the design-focused LG G Watch R.

So here it is, the Apple Watch. Not only is it Apple's most un-Apple design we've ever seen on the outside but it's just as radical on the inside as well. Apple has built and entirely new operating system just for the wrist-worn wearable so you can see notifications, fitness information and even send each other hand-drawn messages. It'll come in a range of different versions including an 18-karat gold 'Edition' version.

The Asus ZenWatch is arguably one of the best-looking smartwatches out there giving the Moto 360 a run for its money. It's also one of the best. With a water-resistant body, Gorilla Glass 3 display and super-slim body it's actually one of the few wearables that we'd actually take out to dinner. It's hard to think of a higher compliment for a smartwatch at the moment.
Asus ZenWatch Price: £199.99
Motorola Moto 360(03 of08)

The Moto 360 is widely-regarded as the watch that'll win you over to going smart. Running Android Wear the Moto 360 features a stunning all-metal design along with a Gorilla Glass 3 round display. It's light, features wireless charging and is waterproof.

The LG G Watch R is probably the first smart watch that desperately wants to convince you it's a watch. The fully-circular touchscreen display shows a number of different watch faces while Android Wear gives you voice control. There's a heart-rate monitor on the back for those fitness addicts as well.

Microsoft Band(06 of08)

Microsoft has joined the fight and the Microsoft Band is its opening salvo. The Band is a simple affair to look at but packs all the tech needed to power a top-of-the-range smart watch and fitness tracker. It comes with a heart-rate monitor, notification centre for alerts and comes with a bright OLED touchscreen. The clincher? It's compatible with iOS, Android and Windows Phone.
Microsoft Band Price: £TBC
Samsung Galaxy Gear Fit(07 of08)

The Gear Fit is more of a fitness band than a smart watch, or maybe it's the other way around. Either way with it's small curved OLED screen water-resistant body it's a real looker. It's subtle enough that you won't be seen as a screaming tech fan but yet packs in enough tech that you'll be wanting for nothing.
Galaxy Gear Fit Price: £124.95
Withings Activité(08 of08)

The Withings Activité might be the one smart watch that can actually claim to being a watch first. Beautifully designed and extremely simple the Activité features a small dial which shows you just how active you've been. It's waterproof and uses Bluetooth LE to relay all the big data to your phone.
Withings Activité Price: £TBC
