Oaxis Timepiece

$159 (£ 125), oaxis.com

Just because you don’t want the look of a smartwatch doesn’t mean you have to give up on all their features. This latest hybrid hit matches a Swiss-made movement for the analogue side with a heart rate monitor, step tracking, sleep monitoring and notifications. Your heart rate, messages, calls and the like are displayed on a 0.42-inch OLED screen at the bottom. Other fitness stats are tracked in-app.

Keeping it this simple means battery life lasts a week, and the whole watch avoids looking and feeling massively bulky. The stylish Oaxis Timepiece is waterproof down to 30m, and is available in two sizes: 38mm and 41mm. It has changeable straps, and comes in black, silver (41mm only) and gold (38mm only).

T3SA YS: A really smart-looking watch, with the extras of a fitness band. For the price, this feels like a great smartwatch alternative.
