Which are the best ones out of these? Looking for a tracker for running and some sports as well as having at least a week's charge... Was looking to spend up to around 90 odd quid. If I can get music on the watch that would also be amazing to save taking my huge phone out for a run!
Really appreciate any guidance
Edit: thanks for the great thread btw (edited)

Garmin Vivoactive 3 £65 - uk.webuy.com/pro…n=1

Mine still going strong after 4 years constant use. Get about 5-7 days battery (less if using GPS for running). Garmin Pay works well with Starling card. (edited)

I've just got pixel watch lte, which is great with my Duo2 and as its a Pixel would be at least as good on Pixel phone. NB. LTE is restricted to eSim only, which are v expensive plans in UK but it works fine just connected to phone

I don't feel that currently Huawei is a good choice. To use it you need Huawei Health app, and that's app isn't on Google Play. So you need to install through third party, and that's defienietly less secure.

Think I've just had my favourite CeX item.
Got a smart watch (grade A).

Received today... and it looks like someone won it new in a raffle, opened it, didn't want it, traded it straight in. All wires unwrapped and stickers still on back sensor.

Raffle ticket 492 yellow, thanks for my brand new watch!

Thanks OP. Great effort. Excuse my lack of knowledge, but can anyone post which, or if any of these smart watches can make and receive phone calls through them? Rather than just notify you someone is ringing you? ie not with a sim in them, but uses your phone, so you can make and receive hands free calls ?
And any recommendations which is best? (edited)

I was also thinking about this, but after 4 years how do you think the battery would have fared? It's probably the best pound for pound value amongst this lot, awesome features and looks smart too.

Amazing work as always Switchy.

I've just bought the Xiaomi Amazfit GTS, had some CEX credit so ended up paying around £18. It had very good reviews. Heat.

We have 2 Huawei GT watch 2 pro's in the family and whilst they are solid with good battery life they have a flaw in the bluetooth implementation. When the phone is paired with the watch and a car hands free kit at the same time the watch always wants to take preference on the call handling this makes it impossible to use the car hands free. There is a workaround where if you disable the watches phone profile in the bluetooth settings it will fix the issue at the expense of being able to make and recieve calls on the watch. However for some reason the bluetooth phone profile gets reactivated after a while for no apparent reason and you are back to square one.

I've been rocking the OG amazfit watch since it came out. Been meaning to upgrade to a updated version but I don't see anything offered which is a big step up from the OG amazfit.

The Huawei ones - are there issues with the Google operating systems? I have a Huawei phone and would like a smartwatch that I can use for basic things like reading messages and controlling Spotify / BBC Sounds

No issues, you would need to download Huawei app gallery onto your phone to use the Huawei health app, but all works fine and dandy

Anyone got any advice on smart watches with golf range finders built in? I tried Huawei but couldn't find any supporting apps to provide the golf data

Garmin Connect app with a suitable Garmin watch. I have a Fenix 5 which does the basics well, yardage to pin, keep score, etc. I also have a Garmin Approach S60, this is more specialised for golf. The Fenix will last a good 7 or 8 days on normal use. The Approach chews battery on GPS when on the course.

I picked up a Mi Smart Watch.
I got one new in their recent sale in blue, as that's all the had in, but didn't use it (as wanted black ideally) so it has gone back.
It's light, functional and looks smart. Not all singing and dancing but does what I need it to do. Which is more than enough.

Weight and backing were key to me. I tried a GT2 Pro before and that was 20g heavier (70%) than this but it was the sensor that was ssoooo cold on the wrist. Plus the casing it quite bulky and I have skinny wrists!

So yeh, will give it a full play later.

Is the Apple Watch SE not a better buy than the Series 4?
JasSingh93
25th Mar
Depends. If you mean the 1st gen SE, they’re close. SE is only slightly newer but lacks the ECG feature and always on display.

The newer 2022 SE is much more powerful and newer, but again lacks ECG and always on display. So depends what features you want really.

This may help you decide. apple.com/uk/watch/compare/ > compare all models. (edited)

Although my Sony Xperia 1 ii is Android. My next upgrade will likely be a Sony. I'm looking for a compatible mostly notification based Smart watch which displays full notification and calls rather than some. Any suggestions at a reasonable price between £100-£200 (edited)
