As WIRED\u2019s resident<\/span> wearable tester, I\u2019ve tried enough smartwatches to know there\u2019s life beyond the Apple Watch. I just apparently don\u2019t want it. Maybe it\u2019s because I joined the Apple ecosystem at 10 years old and have been indoctrinated ever since. I\u2019m fluent in iOS, macOS, and watchOS, and for better or worse, the Apple Watch is my default wearable.<\/p>\n

But what\u2019s the best Apple Watch to buy? There are now three models, each with its own set of features, and the differences between them can appear minor even when the prices aren\u2019t. Fortunately, I\u2019ve tested them all; Here\u2019s how the current lineup stacks up.<\/p>\n
