Very light 30 g, comfy nylon strap; plastic feel

Each part is rated on one scale for every smartwatch and band, from reviewers' accuracy tests and measured battery life where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports. It rates the product itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Feather-light at about 30 g
  • GPS tied for best in the reviewer's multi-watch accuracy test
  • Huge battery life
  • Routes, training plans and a good web training hub
  • Pace and distance close to a Garmin Epix Pro, no cut corners
  • Heart rate largely in step with a Polar H10 chest strap
  • Very light and long-lasting

Cons

  • Optical HR mediocre outside steady running; poor for weights and sleep stages
  • Plastic feel and a small, dull, low-res screen
  • Slow GPS/HR lock before starting
  • Clunky phone app, no maps or music streaming
  • Occasional HR spikes in workouts
  • Sleep tracking counts awake time as light sleep
  • All-plastic build, no music streaming or ANT+
  • the5krunnerAug 2023

    A great first running watch on a budget: top-tier dual-band GPS in their track test, but wrist heart rate is only middling, so pair a chest strap for serious work.

  • Tom's GuideJun 2024

    Accurate and great value: distance matched a Garmin Epix Pro in multi-band mode and heart rate mostly followed a Polar H10 chest strap, with a few spikes.

  • An excellent first GPS watch for budget-minded runners; tracking looked right on runs, though no reference device was used.

  • Simple and very capable; GPS locked fast and held in thick woods, charged only twice in six weeks of light use.
