More and more brands offering luxury smartwatches are leaving their marks in wearable tech through collaborations and their own ventures into the industry. With mobile brands like Apple and Samsung proving their success in this area, it’s only a matter of time for our favourite watchmakers to follow suit.

This smart chronograph, tailor-made for aviation professionals and yachtsmen, showcases the special features that record flight and regatta times — “chrono flight” and “chromo regatta”. Although it does not come with LTE connectivity, the BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) will keep you updated on notifications from your phone wirelessly. This connection also allows the automatic UTC time correction to take place. Visibility plays a key role here, and Breitling utilises the high-intensity LCD backlights when you need to tell the time. Once that’s done, the screen will shut off so as to not disrupt a pilot’s vision by creating unnecessary reflections.
Only available in stores.
For the ladies reading this, the Garmin Lily will wear nicely if you have more petite wrists. To top it off, the smartwatch features menstrual cycle tracking (complete with markers for symptoms, flow and mood), pregnancy tracking and a morning report that alerts you of the day’s weather along with your daily events. The Lily comes in two variations, the classic, which uses Italian calf leather to encircle your wrist, and the sport, which features skin-friendly silicone straps. But fret not — no matter which dial that your heart desires, the straps are interchangeable, so you can wear the same watch for multiple occasions.
