Comfortable 40mm aluminium, sapphire, IP68

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

  • Heart rate close to a Coros sports watch
  • GPS distance close on a long run despite single-band
  • Very good sleep tracking
  • Comfortable 40mm case, lots of strap choice
  • Full set of health and fitness tracking
  • Sapphire glass
  • Comfortable strap

Cons

  • Barely lasts 24 hours
  • Small screen with thick bezels
  • Old, slow chip
  • Pace graphs only update every 10 seconds; no dual-band GPS
  • About 22 h even with always-on off
  • Laggy opening apps and health data
  • 1.2-inch screen with big bezels
  • A Galaxy Watch4 under a new name: heart rate stayed within 1-3 bpm of a Coros Pace 3 and an 8-mile run's route and distance were close, but battery barely makes a day and older Galaxy models on sale are better buys.

  • TechRadarApr 2025

    Workout heart rate, distance and GPS were broadly in line with an Apple Watch Ultra 2, but sluggish software, a tiny screen and about 22 hours of battery make it poor value next to a discounted Watch6.

  • A repackaged Watch4 that is cheap and works well day to day, with 1.5-2 days of average use; steps ran about 1,000 high against a phone and body composition was less exact than a smart scale.
