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

  • Large, sharp AMOLED screen
  • Own GPS; routes roughly matched phone Strava and an Amazfit Active 2
  • Sleep tracking seemed sensible
  • About a third of battery used in four busy days
  • Pace said to match a high-end GPS watch; consistent routes
  • Bright, smooth 1.97-inch AMOLED
  • Comfortable grippy strap

Cons

  • No auto-brightness
  • Plastic body and back
  • Heart rate/SpO2 only loosely checked against a fingertip oximeter
  • Gym rep counting struggles with complex moves
  • Not meant for diving
  • No measured accuracy figures
  • Heart rate 20-30 bpm off a chest strap with a loose fit
  • FoneArenaDec 2025

    A big step up from the Watch 3 with a large AMOLED screen, own GPS and long battery; an easy pick at its intro price.

  • Business TodayDec 2025

    One of the most complete budget outdoor watches of the year, with standalone GPS and a bright big screen.

  • AntywebSep 2025

    Great value with accurate GPS and a bright screen, but heart rate was unreliable against a chest strap when the stiff strap let it sit loose (global model).

  • EditorjiDec 2025

    A strong value pick that does the basics well; accuracy sub-score lowest of its marks.

  • MobiGyaanDec 2025

    A well-rounded budget watch for first-time buyers wanting GPS, calling and a big screen; review lists no real drawbacks.
