Other smart watches for review
The number of smart watches on the market is amazing. I tested the models from Tag HeuerThen CitizenThen MontblancAnd many other fashion brands, but most of them are Simply expensive For what you get. Here are a few options I like.
Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra for $ 650: 47 mm Galaxy see ultra .7/10, wired evaluation) is the Apple Watch Ultra and Garmin competitors, and this is the first item that is firmly in the world of strong, rich and powerful smart watches designed for professional athletes. It lasts more than two days for a fee because it is a large 47 mm watch and can pack powerful battery. There is a titanium shell and sapphire glass surface, plus it is rated as 10 ATM and IP68, so you can engulf it up to 100 meters underwater. The heart rate monitoring process is significantly suitable for Apple Watch Ultra 2 and dual -band GPS to provide accurate mapping. The software is not intuitive and some of the missing features when compared to other performance smartwatches, but this is a good start if you are in the world of Android.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Fe for $ 200: Galaxy Watch Fe is a smart watch with good budget Galaxy Watch6 Se -Ri if you are trying not to spend much because you can find them sold at an almost equivalent price. The Galaxy 40 mm Fe clock There is a smaller screen that is not bright, and has a slower processor and a smaller battery, so you will have a richer experience by spending a bit more. Health sensors are almost the same, and I have accurate results with my heart rate and sleep monitoring. The battery also lasts about a day if not less.
OnePlus watch 2 for $ 300: This is the OnePlus smartwatch last year and it is currently listed at almost equivalent to the new OnePlus Watch 3. Avoid paying $ 300 for it (that is Regular $ 250 on AmazonAlthough I argued waiting for a sales even better). OnePlus 2 46 mm (7/10, wired recommended) Running OS and lasting about three days per charge, a little more if you enable some energy -saving settings. The medical abilities are missing, there is no autumn or electrocardiogram, but have a sleep monitoring and it is quite accurate. Some features, such as tracking heart rate, moving distance and steps, with the accuracy of the mixture in my test, that means you should not buy this smartwatch if you mainly use it. For those functions. Also, consider the OnePlus watch 2rBut you can grab it for Less cash. The difference is mainly around the construction quality. The screen is not bright, it has aluminum case instead of stainless steel and no Sapphire crystal protection, so it is less durable. However, this makes it lighter and Comfier to wear.
Apple Watch Series 9 for $ 399: Series 9 (7/10, wired recommended) is a great smartwatch but avoids buying it at its MSRP. Try to wait for sale and spend less than $ 300 for it. It has all common health and physical features, and additional features like Double tap. .
CMF Watch Pro 2 for $ 69: CMF is a secondary brand because nothing, and See pro 2 is amazing value. It looks attractive (very minimalist!), And you can exchange strap or even frame shape if you want. This is one of the smart watches worth 100 dollars that I like to wear but feel great on my wrist. Therefore, many of them look very bland and lack of personality. It runs an exclusive operating system but works with both iPhone and Android devices via Bluetooth. I was able to see the notice from my phone (you can only answer some people with canned reactions), and heart rate and sleep monitoring are accurate for a budget device, even if It takes a little time to handle and show you the results. However, my steps were off compared to high -end smartwatches. You can follow the exercises with it and it even has GPS to provide mapping data, although the details are quite basic and there is no additional context to the numbers. You can control the playback, change the clock face (all are very beautiful on the AMOLED screen) and test the weather. This application is very skillful, although I have noticed the clock tends to be disconnected, so some notifications are not at all times. Sometimes, the screen on the clock is stuck on a screen and I have to press the crown to return to the main screen. These are quite small kits, especially considering the great 10 -day battery life that I can achieve. I went to Paris for a few days and came back, and I didn't even bring the charger. It is rare to find this type of value for $ 69.
Withings Scanwatch 2 for $ 350: Rhyme 2 scan (7/10, wired recommended) Can be overcome for a similar watch. The set of health monitoring features is comprehensive, you are monitored with heart rate, electrocardiogram, blood oxygen and sleep monitoring. The battery life is also, because it can live up to 30 days with the use of light. (The heavier use will see about 22 days before it is necessary to charge.) The main problem is the small screen on this watch, too small to read some notifications. GPS is also connected, meaning it requires your phone to be tied and nearby. There is a health registration+ option, but we recommend fighting it, because it does not provide many utilities. Rhyme 2 is 42 mm or 38 mm in size and does not have the rich features and applications you will find on the Apple Watch, but if you want to monitor your health and you do not want the one Your watch looks too technology, this will do this job.

Google Pixel Watch 2 for $ 200: Original Pixel watches There has been a lot of features when it launched, but Google slowly added them for more than a year. That means Pixel Watch 2 .7/10, wired recommended) There is almost everything you want. Automatically start and detect automatically stop, detect autumn, spo2 Measurements, and even a redesigned Fitbit app looks much more modern. Google has even added safety tests, allowing you to share your position with emergency contacts if you do not respond after a certain time. And newer updates have since added features such as car accident detection and bicycle autumn detection. It was a beautiful and comfortable watch on the wrist. It also nailed its health and physical features, from reliable heart rate and sleep monitoring data to improved exercise screen showing you the most important information in the blink of an eye, including The whole heart rate area. Unfortunately, the battery life is ok, it will last about a day.
Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro 5 Enduro for $ 350: The design of a smartwatch is important. You must like to wear it! Unfortunately, I felt completely nothing with Mobvoi's latest watch; Enduro is simply boring. It is ashamed that it is a solid OS watch and can provide a large amount of battery life in one charge thanks to the company's smart dual Display technology (it uses energy control panel. Low the screen is always on, and an OLED when you start interacting with it). Another problem? Mobvoi is poor in providing timely software updates and who knows this watch will even get the current Wear OS 5 version.
Huawei Watch D2 for £ 291: At first glance, this smartwatch looks like an Apple Watch Chunky. It is not sold in the US, but the reason to buy it if it To be Available in your area is a closed, reasonable blood pressure cuff in the strap. Huawei's D2 watch is the only smart watch that provides blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), can perform measurements in 24 hours, an important thing to get an accurate picture of your health. Because blood pressure changes throughout the day. This smartwatch is also very good at gymnastics and sleep monitoring, but there is no voice assistant unless you have Huawei phone and lack of polishing and gentle application about the insight (you get evil. whether, but very little explanation of its meaning). D2 watches do nothing to dispel my first impression and cannot match our other options here on most fronts, but if you are advised to closely monitor the blood pressure of the blood pressure. You, it can be worth watching. –Simon Hill
Avoid these smartwatches
Not every smartwatch is a winner. Here are a few of us tried but not worth the dough.
Montblanc 3 summit for $ 1,270: This is a beautiful (and large) smartwatch, but it runs OS 3, super day. There is no speaker, no Google assistant and fitness features feel half baked. It does not only offer all over a beautiful face.
