Intro:
I’ve tested more than 75 smartwatches over the last 2 years, some of which cost as little as 20 dollars, whereas others set me back 1000 dollars. In this video we are going to use objective measurements to see which of these watches performed best at different price points, to help you decide which watch is best for you. I will particularly focus on the sports and health tracking features of each of these watches; so let’s take a look at those results!

In this video I will show you which smartwatches and health trackers performed best in my testing, also taking into account the prices of the different watches. So, whether you are looking for a premium smartwatch, or you have a small budget, this video will help you make your decision. Now, I will spend most of the video looking at the heart rate accuracy and sleep tracking performance; but I will also discuss some other features, like GPS tracking, step counting and general health tracking. But, let’s start by looking at the heart rate tracking accuracy, since this is important for most people.

I would only buy the Whoop Strap if money isn’t an issue, and I want my aim is to get a general solid health and fitness tracker. On the other hand, if I was mostly interested in just the sleep stage and heart rate tracking, I would buy an Apple Watch. My favorite Apple Watch is the Apple Watch Ultra, given its longer battery life and bigger screen. However, the Apple Watch SE is good enough for the majority of people, and this is much much cheaper. If I was really on a strict budget, I would probably get the Huawei Band 6 or 7, or maybe the Huawei Watch Fit 2 if I wanted really good heart rate tracking. If my focus was on sleep stage tracking on a budget, I would probably get the Fitbit Inspire 3.
