The Best Smartwatches of 2023

★★★★★ Great watch, 10/10. Pros:Tons of apps, settings and watch faces to choose from, with even more downloadable via the Connect app.Great amount of customization of all of the above...reordering, amount of fields per "screen", tons of things to choose to be displayed.Screen/face is NOT distorted in any way from any angle while wearing polarized lenses.Good sized band, face is perfect size despite what you may have found on Google images. I'm convinced that Google images pictures of this watch are heavily modified to "blow it up" in size, or all the models have 2" circumference wrists/forearms...this is not the case with the actual watch.Cons:As with anything that reads or tracks heart rate, if you have a high resting heart rate for any reason, it will read that you're "working out", and stack up calories burned and add to your workout times even if you're not actually working out.Final 2¢:If you splurge and get the solar version, dont expect to never plug it in to charge unless you're an avid outdoorsman. Simply driving from Point A to Point B hanging your arm out the window isn't ample. If you spend all day just about every day out on the lake fishing like I do, or are out hiking or hunting, biking, whatever...you'll rarely plug it in to charge. However it fully charges pretty quick (~4hrs) considering it'll last around two weeks on a single charge, depending on what sensors/apps you choose to run constantly.10/10, would buy again.

★★★★★ Good track of activities. Had to such Not easy to find information on the functions. Likes very much the design. Garmin could clarify better the meaning of "solar". It gives the impression that would charge the watch but just keeps the battery running a little bit longer.

★★★★★ It is more rugged than a Fitbit. I like the fact it is capable of keeping up with me. I tried Fitbits but they only last 6 months. This one had lots of functions and is rugged enough to survive.

★★☆☆☆ Not a fan. I have owned several Garmin watches. This was my least favorite. It is hard to see in the dark and kept disconnecting to the app. I have never had this issue before with Garmin.

★★★★★ This watch has a lot of features. Sleep tracking includes REM which is importantTake some time to read the manual as not everything is intuitive. Like how to start activities. Glad I got the S model. Fits my wrist better than an oversized watch

★★★★★ Better than Apple. Bought this as a present for someone that didn’t want an Apple Watch. This product is superior over a fit bit but not tied to one operating system. It takes a few days to figure all the features but so worth it. I would definitely purchase again. Garmin has my business

★★★★★ (. Good but without Premium 2YR CPS Enhanced Protection Pack

★★☆☆☆ Check Garmin support threads regarding spontaneous power off…. …before you buy. Draw your own conclusions

★★☆☆☆ Apenas llevo usándolo un mes y ya no funciona la carga solar, que fue la razón por la que compré este modelo mas caro en vez del modelo estándar.

★★★★★ Best smartwatch, bar none. Now bigger, brighter, and tougher. My first Apple watch, a Gen 5, was a surprise birthday gift from my family. It wasn't something I was thinking about, as I've been a fan of analog, solar-powered watches for years. And I didn't care for the way the early Apple watches went dark when you weren't looking at them, nor the need to charge a battery every day. But I loved that Apple watch (still do, my wife now wears it happily). I found it incredibly handy, especially after moving to work-from-home due to the pandemic -- picking up phone calls and keeping up with Outlook tasks is huge. AND, weirdly, the pesky "activity rings" encouraged me to get back into an exercise routine (just to shut them up) and I lost weight that had been bothering me for years. As a result, I've really gotten involved in the Apple health environment, linking my scale and tracking my various measurements. It's been a great motivator to keep improving my physical shape.So, why the big, expensive Ultra? We do like to get outdoors (kayaking and nature photography here in Florida) so I've got a use for a durable, GPS-enabled device. And that Gen 5 was a little small for my maturing eyes. This watch handles all of that, and offers even more health data (Blood O2, etc.). And it hasn't disappointed.LikesLooks -- important in a watch. I'm not a huge guy, but all this "It's too BIG" hullabaloo is nonsense. It looks terrific on my wrist and is just as comfortable to wear as the smaller Gen 5 watch (thank you, titanium/ceramic construction).Productivity -- It would be hard to go back to having to check my phone for calendar reminders, weather activity updates, etc. And even without a paid cell plan, the Ultra of course lets you answer calls on your wrist so long as your phone is nearby. It's a great help in a work-from-home environment.So many complications!The larger face on the Ultra 2 allows more complications, in a more readable fashion, and the Ultra-specific watch faces show them off to great effect. I don't know if I need to know my altitude, compass heading, number of steps, outside temp, day, date, time, battery status, and upcoming Outlook tasks all at once, but I really enjoy having that ability now.OutdoorsI've used the Ultra for exercise tracking (works great, of course) and it's had no trouble banging around the yard, but so far no nautical outings or hikes to test the backtrack or other GPS features to track distance (and keep you from getting lost!). But I'm sure glad to have them.BatteryI mean, more would be better, but my Gen 5 was running out of juice after about 15 hours, and the Ultra 2 is generally in the 70-80% range after the same period. I still charge it every night, but I don't worry about it giving up before then as I was starting to have to do.Not So LikesNone really so far. Okay, paying iPhone money for a watch is a lot. But to be fair, it's not hard to spend what the Ultra 2 costs on either a fancy outdoors watch like a Fenix/Garmin, or a more traditional high-tech watch like a Citizen, or a really nice looking watch from whomever.To me, this one covers it all. Attractive titanium case, Sapphire crystal, water resistant enough for diving; tough enough to take out boating or hiking, all in a multi-billion-transistor wrist computer with dozens of customizable watch faces, a compass, altimeter, depth gauge, heart monitor, blood oxygen sensor, sleep and exercise tracker, appointment reminder, music player and wrist telephone. Phew. And yes, it tells time, more accurately than a $200,000 Rolex that can't access the Internet. And it doesn't need to be reset twice a year for Daylight Savings Time. I wish the Apple bands were more plentiful and less expensive. I got the comfy Trail Loop, but it would be nice to have the Ocean too without paying another $99. But I've been wearing my existing silicone sport bands most of the time (large Gen 5-up bands fit perfectly) and Amazon has a staggering number of Ultra-compatible watch bands available (picked up a really nice SS mesh band for business outings for $27 and a leather one for about the same).Bottom lineIf you have an iPhone, an Apple smartwatch is a no-brainer. Yes, it's another thing to charge at night, but you're already doing that. And it is almost odd how handy it is having so much information available on your wrist -- once you have it, you won't want to be without it. I also think the exercise integrations are huge, whether you're a hardcore gym rat, or just need to make sure you didn't sit in a chair all day -- being able to track your improvements is a great motivator. It's been a game changer for me. I literally exercise in part to watch my "numbers" improve. Weird, but true.As for the Ultra -- the name's a bit much, and the price is steep, but if you want MORE of what Apple smart watches can do, in a bigger, more attractive, sturdier, more capable package, this is a great piece of gear. I couldn't be more pleased.Five big, smart stars.

★★★★★ Badass. This is my 5th Apple Watch and it is the best model I’ve had, and second place isn't even close. Battery life, screen size and brightness are dramatically improved from the series 7. Only critique is the band. It’s well made and the purpose of the design is obvious, but I find the magnetic leather band or the mesh Velcro band to be more comfortable.

★★★★★ Amazing Watch. I really like this watch - so much better than my previous Apple Watch (Series 5). There were three features that convinced me to buy this watch: 1) brightness, 2) battery life 3) Oxygen Sensor. As you all probably know by now, it looks like Apple is going to remove the Oxygen Sensor - not happy about that. This is why I am only giving two stars for the "Value for Money" - I hope that Apple provides us some compensation for the loss of this feature. Only time will tell....

★★★★★ Amazing. Coming from the original Apple Watch Series 1 to the Ultra 2 is a HUGE difference. I love the always on display and the battery life is amazing. Great watch and got it on sale for $100 off. A bit pricey but definitely worth it. If you’re looking into a nice watch, this is the one for you. It’ll last for years to come, so worth the investment.

★★★★★ Beautiful piece of tech. I bought it 2 weeks ago. I thought it would be hideous but useful. I was completely wrong. I’m an outdoors kind of guy and it works wonderfully when I run cycle snorkel in the sea, swim laps in the pool and more.The bands and watch faces can be changed to make it work for smarter occasions. I bought a third party titanium band and put a smart watch face on the screen and now it looks nice and spiff.I highly recommend this product!

★★★★★ Ultra Means Ultra. This purchase was a gift to myself with an Amazon gift card for 40 years of service at my company. I love the look and functionality of this Apple Watch and the quality really is ultra. I appreciate the larger screen real estate on the Ultra because you can see it better and can add more complications to the bigger screen. I’m very happy with this purchase.

★★★★★ This is an incredible watch. After about 9 months of evaluating which smart watch I wanted, the final decision was the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The competition was the Garmin 75 Pro, a very fine watch but it's a hardcore sports watch. I am not that level of athlete, so I chose the Ultra 2. I love the watch because of its many functions including phone service that does not require your iPhone to make and receive calls. It's the real Dick Tracey phone from my childhood. It's interface with the iPhone is the main reason in my selection and I was not disappointed. I am very happy with my purchase. For apps there is a choice between icons and list. The icons fill about 3 screens which you can control using touch screen or you can use a list mode for more description. You can instantly toggle between the two. The screen is large, but the watch is lightweight, and is very comfortable to wear. Charging has not been an issue, it's fast and easy.

★★★★★ Great watch, good price on Amazon. Love this watch.Had 3 versions of Iwatch but this is superiorSo many functions, ease of use, big sizeLove the looks too!!

★★★★★ Detailed Analysis of Everything. I have to admit, this watch is kind of amazing. My son has been after me to switch from FitBit to Garmin for a couple of years now, but I was hesitant. Familiarity kept me from switching. Got this on Prime Day and the analysis and breakdown of every measurement is amazing. Where other programs want a Premium subscription for in depth analysis, this watch provides tons of data already built in. The sleep data breakdown is amazing. There is a "Body Battery" that provides an indication of how much energy you likely have left to finish the day, and it is eerily accurate. I've only been wearing it a week so all of the features haven't even kicked in but, those that have are incredible. I've seen reviews that say it is large and heavy, and I have to agree however, it really doesn't matter unless you have a tiny wrist. It feels like a quality machine, which it is. Heart Rate analysis, Breathing and Respiration analysis, exercise breakdowns and options, are all detailed and informative. That doesn't even scratch the surface of the statistics it provides. The number of activities it is capable of measuring can give you analysis paralysis just trying to decide. Health Stats, Performance Stats, programs for Training and Race Planning, Race predictions, gear mileage tracking (shoes, etc), and insights to compare your performance to other similar athletes, just to provide an overview. My son says Garmin is for athletes and FitBit is for Mall walkers. Now I get it. So far, I have used it for treadmill, rowing machine, and strength training. I'm looking forward to getting it outside for a run to see some new stats pop up. I've barely delved into what it can do and I'm excited to do more. You get plenty of rest breaks throughout the day just going through the analysis of your exercise and statistics. It's definitely more interesting and more beneficial than any time wasted on social media.If I had to provide negatives, I will concede it is heavy and large but, that is likely necessary accommodate the battery that lasts for weeks, not days. The solar function supposedly extends the battery life but I have barely used 20% in the last week so I can't say what the impact actually is. There is also a certain amount of sticker shock that was only partially assuaged by the Prime Day deal. I do wish it would sync directly with my Renpho scale as I don't intend to pay another $150 for a Garmin scale. Synching through a third-party app has been mostly unsuccessful so far. Initially I questioned the accuracy of the stair count, but that seems to be improving. A detailed user's manual would be very helpful as well, but I'm having fun discovering new things pretty much daily.My guess is that if you purchase this watch you will not be disappointed. If you haven't noticed, I am very impressed and that is not the norm for me. I tend to be hyper critical of high dollar items. If you can get past the sticker shock, I would definitely recommend checking out a Fenix 7x. Did I mention it has a flashlight built in? Kind of blew me away as well, but it is an LED and provides a good amount of light for being tiny and barely noticeable. You kind of have to see it to believe it (get it, flashlight, see it.... oh well). It's definitely worth checking out.

★★★★★ Prácticamente se adapta por completo en mis rutinas de ejercicios, tengo mediciones precisas de cada actividad

★★★★★ Marca todo los signos importantes de rendimiento excelente

★★★★★ Excelente producto a un gran precio, el tamaño es perfecto, super preciso que funciona para multiples actividades, sin duda una de las mejores compras.

★★★★★ Es muy bonito, fácil de usar y con muchas funciones

★★★★★ Llego en excelente estado el paquete, y el reloj tiene demasiadas funciones que hay que ir explorando.

★★★★★ Awesome. Nice watch. I already had the #3 but that just allows you to receive calls. The 6 you can make and receive calls. Lots of other nice features also. Only problem for me is it doesn't hold a charge long enough for me. This is a problem bc I like you sleep with it on and also wear it all day. Probably holds a charge for 12 hours sometimes a little longer. I have reception and wifi where I live which send to be a factor. It seems to last longer when I'm at work. Would highly recommend.

★★★★★ This is a great watch. My first use of any brand of "smartwatch", but Samsung has done a great job. Easy to set up, even for a 1st time user like me. Battery life is very good, slept with it on my wrist all night at it still had 49% battery life left. Pretty simple to set up and use. The model I got was Bluetooth and it paired easily with my Galaxy S23 Ultra phone, and it shares information easily. My only complaint is....the band was way too small for my wrist. I ended up buying a fabric band (which I recommend), and it is very comfortable. The watch is light on my wrist and it's easy to go through all the functions with either a tap or a twist of the dial. Great battery life too (did I mention that?!?)! Well built and should last a long time. Looks classy, for any occasion.

★★★★★ Another winning Samsung product. First off, the label next to my name says I’m a VINE VOICE reviewer. That is correct, however, please note that I paid for this watch myself with my own funds and the following are my unbiased and independent comments.I bought this watch brand new about 7 weeks ago. It is the standard 44mm Bluetooth Watch (not Classic, not LTE). This watch takes the best from Samsung (SS) and Google. The features are excellent but please realize that to use them to their full potential, you must use a SS Android Phone that is compatible with the watch. My phone is a SS Galaxy S10+ phone.My experience over the past years with smart watches includes four $300-$400 watches from competitors and none have superseded or matched the performance of this device (excluding battery duration without needing a charge). In addition, I owned the SS Galaxy Watch 5. The Galaxy Watch 6 counters seem accurate when checked with other devices that are calibrated and they are easy to use. For example, I do a lot of walking both indoors and out. The outdoor distance counter and GPS has been right on. When I walk indoors, it’s on a measured track that is exactly one mile. The distance counter on the watch is generally within a couple of percent of the track, which, in my experience, is far superior to those other competitors. With cycling, I’ve found the Galaxy Watch 6 to be great in measuring distances, speeds, heart rate, etc. The SS Health App teams well with the Watch 6.The UI is very similar to, if not identical to the others in the latest SS Galaxy watch family. The apps that are available for this watch are many and I’d guess are all interchangeable.Why did I upgrade from my Galaxy Watch 5? It was primarily due to the Watch 6’s upgrade to the hardware, but to me, it was important to have the technology that will seamlessly connect the watch to a new SS phone when the time comes to upgrade the phone. I understand this feature is available on the Galaxy Watch 6. Earlier versions require you to re-profile the watch settings when you change to a new phone.Did I have any issues with the watch? To begin, as others have noted, battery life could be better, but I am getting 2+ days on a full charge. I’m good with this, even though it is not as good as other brands. As far as recharging the watch, when I first received the watch, it took 2 to 3 hours to recharge, I felt this was excessive. There is the “Samsung Members” app to trouble shoot the device, and in addition, SS can “remote” into the watch through the phone to troubleshoot further. Don’t want to be repetitive, but you need a SS phone for SS Tech Support to do this. After some over the phone troubleshooting with SS and sending the watch back to them under warranty, they found that the charging cable was faulty and was the cause of the long recharge time. SS replaced the cable under warranty (after a 4 week long backorder delay), and now it takes an hour to recharge the watch from 20% to 100%. This is the expected time to recharge the watch. Kudos to SS Service, they were generally responsive in troubleshooting this issue and correcting it.I’m satisfied with this watch, it's appearance, and all it can do and can recommend it if you are in the market for a new smart watch.

★★★★☆ Very comfortable, informational and stylish. I am overall very happy with the 44mm Watch 6, it is comfortable, non-obtrusive, and stylish when I want it to be.I am very glad I didn't get the version with the rotating bezel, because this sleeker version provides the same functionality if you simply rotate your finger around the edge.The band that it comes with is comfortable.The sleep function works very well, and provides what I consider valuable and actionable insights.The pulse oximeter is slow and intermittent.The ECG function is nice, if somewhat redundant if you're relatively healthy; you always get 'Sinus Rhythm'. I suppose if you get anything else, you should see your doctor, but I would imagine that's a one time thing.The stress function is useful and appears to be accurate.The Samsung health app is good, but not as flexible as one may desire with a watch of this capability.Battery life is pretty terrible, if you are constantly monitoring pulse, and turn on features that are the reason why you purchased this watch, (advanced sleep, always on display, etc.) you should expect no more than 24 hours of battery.The upside is that it recharges in about an hour.The blood pressure capability is not functional, it would be nice if Samsung provided some guidance as to when it will be available. I was shocked to find, after purchasing, that it didn't work, even though it says it's supported, and currently works on the Watch 5.Without the critical BP function, combined with the battery life and sketchy SpO2 sensor, it is still a pleasurably useful watch own, likely the best available as of this review.But it's not five stars.

★★★★★ Nice watch. BIG. Apps are a little confusing, but the work well on the watch. Watch is Great. Plan to get a new band as the one included is crap. Battery life is ok, just plan to charge it every 24 hours. Parred with my Galaxy phone very well. I expect to use it for 3 years.

★★★★★ So many functions. I am amazed at the quality of sleep app, medication schedules, exercise videos while monitoring heart rate! It even monitors Oxygen levels while I sleep! Plus I can answer phone calls and text on it. I am very pleased. While using all the apps, the battery needs to be charged every day. I usually charge it up while I get ready every morning. But for all it does, plus so much more I haven't listed, I will put up with a little inconvenience.

★★★★★ Received ordered product. well in advance and good condition. Thank you.

★★★★★ Great. Thus watch is great and has a very long battery life. My previous fossil watch would need to be charged every other day. This garmin qatch can last 5-6 days on a charge. Also, it doesn't take that long to charge the battery at all which it makes everything even better.

★★★★★ Love My New Watch. Love my new watch. I am still learning all the features, but it meets my fitness needs much better than my previous Fitbit.

★★★★☆ It’s better then Fitbit. It’s better then fitbit

★★★★★ my wife loved. a little too bulky.

★☆☆☆☆ Venu 2 is Discontinued Stock. These Garmin fitness watches are discontinued merchandice. Nowhere did it say discontinued. They are not servicable by Garmin anymore. There will be NO updates to your software unless you get a New Garmin. I bought the Garmin to monitor my sleep. Less than a months after I buy my Venu 2 - Garmin releases an update that includes an upgraded sleep algorithm. But they only service the venue 3 or above. Not leaving me happy. Garmin says the Venu 2 has been discontinued for some time. I was fooled by this merchant. I should have looked deeper. Amazon scam.

★★★★★ FANTASTIC. This is a well thought out watch. The touch screen is amazing as are the graphics.

★★★★☆ This is a really good watch. I am a Suunto fan myself but my wife wanted this one. The price doesn’t change often but it was what she wanted (and I got tired of waiting for a deal) so I ordered one for her. Battery life is really good…over five days with heavy use…lots of logging events. Outside materials are sturdy and durable but still elegant enough to wear out to nice events. There are tons of information out there on what this watch offers so I would just say that it is easy to use. My wife gets …well let’s just say she has a short attention span. She loves her watch!

★☆☆☆☆ Wil ppl not connect to app. I have tried for days, following all instructions for troubleshooting. Will not connect to the app. Will not pair. Amazon is replacing with another one. I hope I have to edit this review because I love the watch

It's an excellent choice for those who prioritize health and fitness tracking, seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem, and a modern design. However, its price, compatibility limitations with non-Apple products, and the absence of some advanced health features are factors to consider.

★★★★★ The Perfect Combination of Style and Functionality - Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) with AppleCare+. I recently upgraded to the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) [GPS 44mm] with the Silver Aluminum Case & White Sport Band, and it has been an absolute delight. The inclusion of AppleCare+ for 2 years makes this purchase even more valuable.Firstly, the design of the watch is sleek and modern. The silver aluminum case is both lightweight and durable, making it comfortable for all-day wear while also looking stylish. The white sport band is soft, breathable, and easily adjustable, perfect for my daily workouts and casual wear.The 44mm screen size is ideal for me. It’s large enough to easily read and interact with, but not so big that it feels bulky or obtrusive on my wrist. The display is bright and clear, making it effortless to check time, messages, or use apps, even in bright sunlight.Functionality-wise, the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) is a powerhouse. The GPS is accurate and quick to connect, which is great for my outdoor runs and hikes. The fitness tracking features are comprehensive, providing detailed insights into my workouts and overall health.

It's incredibly convenient and helps me stay connected without being tethered to my phone.What sets this package apart is the AppleCare+ for 2 years. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my investment is protected against accidental damage and malfunctions. The customer service and support from Apple have always been top-notch, and this added warranty only enhances the overall value.Battery life is also commendable. It easily lasts through a day of heavy usage, and with the fast charging feature, I’m never out of action for long.In summary, the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) with AppleCare+ is a fantastic combination of style, functionality, and security. Whether for fitness tracking, staying connected, or just as a fashion statement, this watch is a perfect choice. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, versatile smartwatch.

★★★★★ Great watch, happy with value for money. It motivates me to exercise more and gives me valuable insights into my health while also allowing me on the go conveniences that I need at my job - so I no longer need to carry my phone around while I’m with clients. I appreciate features like heart rate, having timers, and being able to customize the watch interface. In the photo I have a cow print case on to protect the watch, but the color of the watch is gorgeous in person too.I’m hoping that there’s a way to reorganize the order of the apps so I can put my most used ones at the top, but I haven’t figured out if that’s possible yet. Battery life is okay, not impressive but also not too shabby. To its credit, it comes with a charger and charges and charges quickly.

★★★★★ Excellent watch and seamless if you have iPhone. Upgraded to the SE from Fitbit Versa 2 (which I really liked). If you have an iPhone this is a no brainer and works so much more seamlessly than the Fitbit did. Essentially a mini phone in your wrist. Only drawback is Battery is not as good as Fitbit.Also these do have the double tap/pinch capabilities like the new watch 9 does. Just have to setup in accessibility settings.

★★★★★ Versatile and Stylish. Okay, I had an ounce of skeptisim about this watch. Now I don't. First off, this is more of a health- monitor/ information watch than. An activity tracker. Withings is going up against some heavy hitters that have established themselves in the activity tracking market. The health monitor segment is not as well know or developed so that's where they have placed their product trying to obtain a market share. That market segment is for young active people who are into the tracking their workout regiment. This watch will do that but it goes beyond that. It tracks your sleep and gives you insite to your overall health using the associated app. I am 61 so I'm not concerned with the little bit of exercise I do. It encourages me to do more but my real concern is my overall health status and catching changes early or being aware of the small changes that happen that can give me an indication something may be going wrong. That's where this watch excells. It tracks data points that help you to self monitor your health. The ECG and SPO2 monitor give you that information in combination with the sleep tracking that gives an overall picture as to what is going on. They seem to be accurate and you can set them to automatically monitor or you can manually monitor.Which brings me to another thing I like about this watch. I have a smart phone that is able to work as a laptop. That's a lot of information I can assimilate all day long. Smart watches try and cram all of that info onto your wrist, that not what I want. I want to distill my daily interruptions down to what is important. I set my notifications only to the email accounts I have to keep track of ,text messages and calls from two separate phone numbers. They stream across the screen and I can briefly look at them and decide if I need to pick pick up my phone or go to my tablet to look at the complete message. This feature is not talked about hardly any at all by Withings but it is a strong point of the watch. And it does it with style.And my final point is I am not of the age where flash attracts my attention. Tasteful appointment catches my eye more than anything else. This is the final strong point of this watch. The subtly of the watch catches everyone off guard. I don't want people to ask or know I have the latest gadget. Rather the surprise that it is more than a watch is a conversation starter. My wife has seen it and wants one now. I'm going to pick up one for her and get a second rose gold with the blue face for wearing at evening events that are more formal.Final point, as I write this I received my watch and charged it on April 28th. I now have 30% battery left. I have been working through all of the features so I have used it more than I probably will in the future. No complaints about battery life.This watch opens up an entirely new market segment that has not been exploited by any of the other hybrid or smart watch manufacturers. I look forward to seeing the new products they bring out.

★★★★★ Finally, a good hybrid analog smart watch. Background: I own a G-Shock Steel which I love but it lacks smartwatch features so during Prime day I purchased a Amazfit smartwatch that looks very much like an Apple Watch. Unfortunately, I missed the round, analog look and the battery did not meet expectations so I returned it for a Withings Steel HR Sport in black. I liked it but the thin watch hands and their color against the black watch face made reading the time quite difficult, so I returned that. Next came the Timex Metropolitan R AMOLED. This is not a hybrid (my mistake). I liked this watch but it had limited crono faces to choose from and you could not choose / modify the complications. Raising the watch to get the face to appear meant pausing before you could get a quick read of the time which is why I prefer an analog face. Not completely satisfied, I returned and then got a Citizen CZ Hybrid smartwatch. I really liked the look and function of this watch but came to find out that even though it states water resistance to 3 atm, it is only “splash proof” and I confirmed this with Citizenwatch. So essentially it’s a dive watch look-alike that you can’t even wear in the shower. This got sent back.Enter the Withings ScanWatch Horizon: Yes it’s expensive but this is a quality timepiece. With its high quality stainless steel it has weight but not too heavy that I could not sleep while wearing it. The flat sapphire glass is beautiful and very scratch resistant. The bevel rotates anti clockwise but you need to purposefully turn it. It comes with a very nice stainless steel bracelet and a color coordinated silicone band. You can wear this watch swimming, one of the many activities you can track and it’s water resistant to 5 atm (300 feet). The watch face (I got blue) is beautiful and the hour markings and hands glow in the dark.The Withings smart watch functionality is very good although I think sleep tracking can be improved as for example while I was awake in the middle of the night, just lying there was counted as light sleep. Pulse rate, ECG, SP02, Notifications, intelligent wake alarm are all great and bonus, it has a 5 year warranty. So when you take this into account, the price tag is not so bad. I love it and could not be happier. Thanks

★★★★★ El único detalle no se puede usar el ECG en México

★★★★★ Me gusto muchoo

★★★★★ Don't let it's simplistic looks fool you, this watch in combination with the Withings App is packed with features for both health and workouts.

★★★★★ ECG de qualité , aide médicale

★★★★★ I have to commend Withings on this watch. I love watches and any excuse to buy a new one. Personally, I find the smart watches try too do too much these days and I end up not using it, but this watch has struck a sweet spot that I have not come across with others.The main reason for buying this watch for me was the fact that it uses traditional hands. I do not need to tilt my wrist to read the time and the stronger the sun, the better I can see it because they are REAL hands (hurrah). They even have a small amount of luminous pain on them which is just enough to be able to read them in the dark, but failing that, you can resort to pressing the button and the time will display in the top window. Furthermore, if the window is blocked by any of the hands, it will move the hands out of the way to enable you to have an unobstructed view of the window. Cleverly, it only does this if the hands are in the way. What a wonderful touch.This watch has a very long battery life. The manufacturers have clearly thought about all of the battery draining aspects and designed the watch with this as a key deliverable. For example, there is no second hand and the minute hand moves in one movement every minute rather than sweeping slowly around the face. I also like the step monitor, it is the bottom dial and enables you to see at a glance approximately how many steps you have achieved in the day.Other functions such as sleep, sport and a host of heart and breathing related aspects that are allegedly medical grade are interesting and in a way reassuring, but not intrusive or the main reason I wanted a watch like this.I use a bicycle most days and the set-up is simple. A long press gets it into exercise mode (you can change this if you like), three rotational clicks on the side button and you see a picture of a bike, one more press and it's all set. It links to Strava and takes GPS from the mobile, measuring speed, distance and heart-rate continuously. It certainly did a better job than my previous smart watch which actually surprised me given the visual simplicity.The only thing that I have found rather strange is that there is no way of knowing the precise time in seconds. This certainly doesn't bother me but it might bother others.Honestly, I haven't really done this watch justice. I cannot stress how much I have missed having a proper watch on my arm, it looks and feels fantastic. The other features I think are a bonus, yet they work reliably and the whole watch is extremely well thought out. This is such a good watch, I don't think I can ever justify giving anything else five stars in the future!

★★★★★ Because it's a Fossil. First of all, the body, band and crystal are all Fossil and offers a smartwatch with style that is not boring and typical like an apple or Samsung. I love it. It's rugged and comfortable to wear.It's important to recognize that what is behind the crystal is quality hardware that is not uniquely Fossil. Rather, it's a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with plenty of memory and battery. Outside of the Fossil splash screen on startup this is where Fossil ends and a quality smartwatch begins.The operating system is Wear OS by Google. This is the same as that on Samsung and tweaked some by Fossil to work with the buttons on the watch and have Fossil watch faces.Having read the negative reviews prior to buying this watch and now having used it for a month, I'd like to mention some considerations that should be made before buying.Before buying any device ask,"how am I going to use it?" This is a fully functional device that does everything, and it comes with everything turned on and multiple apps that do the same thing. This is so you can discover all that functionality. That is definitely not the way to leave it. If you do, you'll run into some confusing scenarios, battery drain and sluggish performance.So, I uninstalled the Nike apps. I've used MyFitnessPal from UnderArmor for years. I have it on my phone and links seamlessly with Google fit that comes part of the OS. I've deactivated Alexa. Google pay links with PayPal on my phone. I've uninstalled the 3rd party pulse, O2 and step counting apps. The native apps with WearOS work perfectly with the 3rd party apps on my phone. Media control works with Pi music player.I did have to install Outlook to see MY email but that was too easy.Now that I've had it for a month, I'm totally satisfied. It is only running what I need and everything else has been removed. As such the battery it's lasting for days (3 at least).I make changes to it all the time and it's safe to say all that I have now is a stylish arm piece that does exactly what I need, when I need and only what I need.Oh, don't buy the cover glass recommended by Amazon. Get glad what is described as rounded or beveled. Though any 9H glass will protect the center of the screen is frustrating to tap the cut edge of the cover glass and have it spur and crack. Broke 3 glass covers in 2 weeks. The rounded edge is superior.

★★★★★ Updated, and everything is good. Reading these reviews, it is clear not everyone knows how to use their smartwatch, which means updating their device. So before giving my review, I will use my review to educate people.First, plug your smartwatch into your charger. Tap the top of the screen and swipe down. Next, tap on the gear icon. Tap the bottom of the screen and swipe up until you see "system," then tap on it to select "system." Tap the bottom and swipe up again until you see "about" and then tap on it "about" to select it. Tap and swipe up (again) and select "System updates," and install the available updates. Your smartwatch will reboot, AND you will need to repeat this process until there are no more updates.Fossil, like any Android device, is not without its partnerships. Unfortunately, that is part of why the battery may drain faster; for example, you do not need two (2) heart monitoring apps. The excellent news is Fossil had the foresight not to lock in those bundled apps, and you can uninstall (remove) them safely.To bring up the list of installed apps, quickly press the middle button. A long press will bring up Google Assistant, so be sure to press fast to bring up the app menu instead. Next, select "Play Store," and within "Play Store," swipe down to "My apps." Select the app you may wish to uninstall (remove). You can always reinstall (re-add) if you change your mind, and the system (important) apps are protected and do not have the option to remove, so you have nothing to worry about and can do this safely.In the Wear OS app (on your phone or tablet), you should also disable any notifications you do not need to be sent to your smartwatch. My phone already receives a lot of notifications, and not all of them do I need to be passed onto my smartwatch. This, too, can save battery power.Now my opinion is Fossil did an excellent job of making a smartwatch. Although this is the 1st smartwatch that I own myself, I have experienced using a few other brands (Apple, Fitbit, Samsung, Amazfit). The truth is the technology, no matter if you use Android or Apple, is not perfect. For example, if I wake up but remain lying in bed playing with my phone, it may still be counted as "sleeping." And if I try to measure my exercise inside my house, taking 100 steps may be counted as only 80 because the GPS and step counting are not perfect if you remain in a confined space. This is the same for every brand smartwatch I have used; there is a small margin of error. If you are expecting absolute perfection, the technology, in general, is not there.That said, Fossil's battery, when you disable the "always-on screen" (located in the display setting), is suitable for well over a day with all the features enabled. The smartwatch is also durably made of solid stainless steel with a sold screen. They did not go cheap on the quality of the watch. I even took a long warm, soaking bath, going a bit above the swim test, and my smartwatch works fine. Fossil also supports both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, so I have the best of both worlds.Overall, I am satisfied with my Fossil smartwatch.

★★★★☆ very short battery life. The watch feels very nice on, it has decently nice capability such as Alexa, NFC for payments, ability to place and receive call/texts. change my spotify songs on the fly. The sleep tracking is there but only deep and light sleep but doesn't seem very accurate because it only said I woke up when I went to physically check my sleep, I was up for more then an hour prior to that. I do like all the apps to change the face of the watch as the basic ones do not work out well for me. It is fairly difficult to remove links unless you have the proper press tool, I was able to get it with a cell phone tool and a hammer for removing SIM cards. My biggest concern is the battery life, it has to be charged at around 18 hours and that is running with the screen off and extremely little use. I bring my charger everywhere I go. I would love to suggest the watch but the battery life is a huge drawback

★★★★★ En 3 semanas de uso:Bueno: Reloj muy bonito y fácil en su uso. EleganteMalo: frecuentemente se desconfigura la pantalla (brillo, pantalla activa).Dura un día la batería no uso normal.

★★★★★ My previous charger had physical damage on it and caused issues with charging consistently. This one charges fine with no issues an exact replacement for my Gen6 watch charger

★★★★★ Se nota bastante la diferencia al Gen 5, tiene bastantes mejoras, su único detalle es la duración de batería, muy forzadamente la batería llega a final del dia.

★★☆☆☆ Eu escolhi o modelo FOSSIL GEN 6 focando na estética (Foi o meu erro). Algumas características são decepcionantes. A primeira observação é a duração da bateria, extremamente baixa mesmo utilizando uma face mais simples, reduzindo a iluminação, deixando em modulo avião, não escutando musicas, enfim. A minha rotina começa como uma atividade aeróbica logo nas primeiras horas do dia e antes do almoço já preciso recarregar a bateria. Sobre a configuração no APP WEAR OS, ainda não consegui compreender a seguinte situação: sempre que coloco o relógio para carregar ele altera o padrão que escolhi. Ainda não encontrei como monitorar a atividade natação, alias nenhum esporte aquático. Para finalizar caso vc que esteja lendo este comentário e deseje um relógio para de fato acompanhar suas atividades físicas diárias eu categoricamente afirmo: não compre este produto. Caso esteja interessado apenas na estética ok.

★★★★★ Bonito diseño, creo que podría tener más mascaras pero en general bien, comparado con otro reloj con mismo sistema operativo la batería dura un poco más, entiendo por todo el uso que se le da es obvio que no dure muchos días, para mí cunple muy bien todas las expectativas hasta el momento

★★★★☆ I believe that I expect better but it is ok. I was expecting moreOf tag Heuer but it’s ok, one of the thing was the watch rubber band it isn’t the type that I Thought it will bring but it’s ok
