We test smartwatch in the real world, focusing on the main features from fitness tracking to connection that you will use daily. As the clock starts itself, we test the overall performance and reactivity. Is there any behind when navigating the menu? What is the touchscreen responsive? What are the applications turn up quickly?
Then we check if all the effectiveness you are expecting for it is the price. It can be everything from music playback control to cellular connection so you can use the clock away from your phone or always on-display. All smartwatchs need to be connected to a phone, so we also evaluate how easy it is to navigate the companion software.

Durability and design
Smartwatchs are something you wear in your body, so we evaluate how comfortable they are to wear. We also know that everyone has a different wrist, so we try to look at how it fits and feels on different people.
Then we stand to wear and tear it with everyday life. Some smartwatch suggests the suitable water resistance for activities such as dust resistance, or scuba diving, and we will check it ourselves wherever possible.

Battery life
Battery life will change depending on how you use a smartwatch, so we test battery life with a few standard examinations. We see that it usually lasts with features on a single charge that represents general use, such as on -display, slip tracking and outdoor workouts with GPS.
Fitness and health sensor accuracy
We test the accuracy of smartwatch sensors in several different ways. For example, the heart rate sensor is compared to the lessons taken from the chest strap, which is considered as the gold standard for customer heart rate tracking. We compare readings from the clock opposite the strap for heart rate rest and the heart rate during various cardio-based activities like running or cycling. We check how long it takes to connect to the GPS signal while doing outdoor workout.
Other health sensors, such as blood oxygen sensors, are compared to a pulse oximator for spot readings where possible.
