The Apple Watch series 5 x Hermès adopts new combinations of colours for spring 2020; the charming concrete rope design (pictured) is our favourite. The watch also comes with an exclusive orange rubber sport band and the buckle recalls those on the straps of a saddle, a nod to the equestrian heritage of the brand. The watch face is revisited to match, showcasing time in an elegant, uniquely Hermès way.

The Huawei GT 2 may look like a regular smartwatch but it has all the features of a fitness tracker. What's most impressive is that the battery life lasts around two weeks. This 42 mm, ultra-thin watch also features a water resistance rating of 50 metres, and many more integrated smart features such as TruSleep, workout monitoring, message reminders, heart-rate monitoring, GPS tracking and more.

With an always-on screen and various sport-tracking features - including cycling, running and golf - this is TAG Heuer's most sophisticated smartwatch to date. The watch boasts well-designed software including GPS, and we love the sleek, unmistakably Tag Heuer design. Although it's marketed as unisex, it does feel like a men’s watch - at 45mm you will find it is larger than its previous iteration - but that being said, it’s definitely the most luxurious Android option on the market right now.

Louis Vuitton made its first foray into the world of smartwatches with the Tambour Horizon, based on the brand's classic Tambour Moon design. The attractive watch caters to its jet-setting clientele with features focused on travel and flights rather than fitness or health functionality (no heart-rate sensors here) as is common with most other smartwatches. The style has two signature features - the LV Guide, and My Flight - enabling you to travel the globe in style with bespoke Vuitton travel recommendations based on the city the watch finds itself in. Both iOS and Android compatible, with 4GB of space for songs and apps, it's perfect for frequent fliers.

The Michael Kors Lexington Smartwatch is perfect for style-conscious sporty types, as it combines the brand's popular silhouette with next-evolution technology. Cast in stainless steel and powered by Google, this design not only offers text and email alerts, but also payment methods, heart-rate tracking, swim-proof functionality and more (we love the GPS tracking feature). Interchangeable straps are also available, should you want to mix it up.
