Smartwatches are not a 'must-buy' for most people at current prices and with their current capabilities, but if you are set on getting one, there are a handful of things to consider such as compatibility and key features.

Ideal smartphone: The no compromise device that should be possible to create in 2016
In 2015 I saw a ton of great smartphones hit the market, but I'm yet to see the elusive 'perfect' device – the phone with no compromises in hardware or software.

Motorola Moto X Style/Pure Review: Solid hardware for a great price
The Moto X Style packs a 5.7-inch 1440p display and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 808 SoC, alongside 3 GB of RAM and a 3,000 mAh battery.

We're also seeing decent upgrades to the front and rear cameras, MotoMaker support, plus a water resistant design.
