  1. Battery Capacity – Some smart watches come with good battery capacity. But others have very small battery capacity. If you are planning to listen to music throughout the day and track your fitness, make sure you check watch with a decent battery size. 

  2. For example, Fit bit wearable's have a pretty high battery backup whereas Apple smart watch has low battery capacity. Due to the large number of features provided by apple watch, the battery drains quickly.

  3. Style – Style is also one of the important factors while selecting a smart watch. The watch you choose may have many cool features but if it looks bulky you want to keep it hidden then it won’t be worthy to buy. There are many smart watches with good design as well as features. You can choose as per the design and style you want.

  4. Storage – This factor depends on how you want to use your smart watch.

Some smart watches like Samsung Galaxy Gear have low storage capacity while the Neuvo smart watch has an external storage feature as well.
