We took a look at the best hybrid smartwatches of 2020 that offer all the great functionality of a smartwatch but look very classic.
When one of the first smartwatches, the Pebble, started looking for backers on Kickstarter in 2013, the tech world was excited not only by what it could do, but what it could mean for the future. And fast-forwarding to the present, features like the message sync that the Pebble watch offered are probably some of the least impressive things you'll find on a timepiece of its kind.
Despite the fact that most smartwatches these days don't really look like an actual watch anymore, there is still plenty of room for authentic design in the market. The distinct change in aesthetics and the lack of style of the average smart watch can deter many individuals from buying it.
Fortunately, there are plenty of watches available that are both traditional looking and smart, meaning you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Hooray! Here they are the best hybrid smartwatches of 2020, which you would only know were smart if you looked really closely.
Honor Magic Watch 2
This watch doesn't have a physical watch face, but it does its best to emulate it, with a super-detailed 1.39-inch AMOLED display featuring a wide variety of minimally designed watch faces that could convince anyone it's a classic watch . Underneath is the standard activity tracker, along with some intelligent power-saving technology that gives users an amazing two-week battery life.

Skagen Falster 3
Skagen's latest watch ditches the physical dial and replaces it with a 1.3-inch, color-rich OLED display running Google's Android Wear system. However, a wide range of perfectly designed watch faces, such as the special edition X by KYGO, ensure that you'll never know it's a smartwatch at first glance.
The design of the watch can also help with this. A very elegant yet robust stainless steel construction with a strong mesh strap is a great choice for those looking for an expensive and traditional looking watch with lots of smart features.

Withings Move ECG
Withings calls it "the world's first analog watch with a built-in electrocardiogram," which you'd never know just by looking at it. Despite looking like a pretty normal timepiece, the watch is smart enough to detect atrial fibrillation (heart beat disorders). Therefore, it is especially ideal for those who have any heart disease or other health problems.
For example, if you feel palpitations or an irregular heart rhythm, simply press the side button and place your finger on the watch face. Within 30 seconds, your EKG is ready for review on the app on your smartphone.

Withings Steel HR Sport
Withings is known for creating well-made smartwatches with traditional looks and a wide range of quality features. Its latest acquisition – the Steel HR sport – is no exception. Underneath the analog watch face are some pretty smart features, including automatic exercise recognition, as well as artificial intelligence that learns your activity moves to track your sport more accurately and in an even more personalized way. There are also notifications from the smartphone and GPS.

Huawei Watch GT 2
The Watch GT 2 is powered by Huawei's Kirin A1 chip, bringing some pretty powerful specs to users. What makes this watch truly special is that all these features are subtly hidden under a minimal and elegant design.
The bezel-less curved glass 3D display can display many traditional watch face shapes, and it's also been crafted using gemstone processing technology, which helps it resist scratches, water, and dust. It's also very comfortable on the wrist, thanks to its ultra-slim 9.4mm case. A really well made smart watch with a classic look.

Garmin Vivomove Luxe
We usually associate Garmin with giant sports watches aimed at more serious fitness enthusiasts. However, their Vivomove Luxe takes a bunch of these capabilities and packs them into a sleek stainless steel body with a polished finish and a domed sapphire lens.
The classic watch has two small "secret" color AMOLED screens that only appear when you need them. The impressive watch thus has a truly impressive number of features for its design, including smartphone notifications, NFC payments and a five-day battery life.

Fossil Hybrid Smartwatch HR
Fossil first opted for Android Wear when it launched the Fossil Sport a few years ago. However, he realized that many people liked both the smart functionality and the design that made Fossil famous in the first place. And so the Hybrid Smartwatch HR was born.
It works with both Android and iOS and tracks heart rate, activity and sleep, along with in-depth wellness stats. And the advantage of not having an all-digital display? More than two weeks of battery life on a single charge.

Skagen Hagen Hybrid Smartwatch
Skagen is one of the best brands of stylish and casual smartwatches. We recommend it if you want a minimalist design and, most importantly, the look of a classic watch with smart functions. The Skagen Hagen Hybrid has the physical dial you'd find on the average analog watch, but underneath it hides smart features like activity and sleep tracking and music control—all without the need for a digital display.
