* Smartwatch capabilities coupled with Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant
* Picks for men, women and those with discerning taste
* You’ll (almost) never have to pull your phone out again
Wouldn’t it be great if you never had to pull your phone out of your pocket or purse to send a text or check your email ever again? Who wouldn’t want that freedom. Better yet, wouldn’t it be ideal to simply voice your wants and desires and have them miraculously happen or appear? Of course!
We’re still a few years from that becoming a reality, but for now, you could pick up any one of these smartwatches and not only check email or send a text message hands-free, but also add items to your Amazon cart thanks to Amazon Alexa.
Each of our picks are fully functioning smartwatches, meaning things like text messages and emails will be routed to your wrist, as well as being able to create calendar events or even check the weather. In addition to those niceties, Amazon’s Alexa has been integrated into each one, which makes them perfect for Prime members or those with an Amazon Echo (or Dot) and any number of connected devices at home, like smart bulbs, a baby cam or even a Nest thermostat. Have Alexa do the work for you.
We’ll soon be navigating the world by voice, so it’s time to put down your phone and start talking aloud.

At first glance, the Martian AE 01 looks exactly like any analog watch, but it can do so much more than tell you the time, which it can do if you ask it. Set any number of customized notifications, so you’re only being interrupted for the most important phone calls, emails or text messages.
