Nearly identical to the popular HONOR Band 6. Fitness and sleep tracking work well. Band is lightweight and battery life is very good. Drawbacks include no notification reply ability, no GPS, no 3rd party apps and no NFC. Save a few dollars and purchase the Honor Band instead.

Battery Life: 18 days
An all around decent rugged watch with good battery life, nice screen and 10 ATM water resistance. Price is a bit high considering the inability to respond to notifications, no speaker or mic, no app store and no payment capability. A reasonable choice for an affordable rugged watch.

Size: 77.2x53.6x15mm

Released: Jan 2020
Size: 38.1x33.0x9.5
Screen: 1.3" TFT

More of a fitness band with a larger screen than a smartwatch. Watch is light and battery life is ok. Drawbacks include no notification reply ability, no GPS, no 3rd party apps and no NFC. Consider the cheaper HONOR Band 6 with a better screen and longer battery life.

Battery Life: 10 days
Good watch for fitness and sleep tracking but drawbacks include no notification reply ability, no 3rd party apps, no GPS and no NFC.

Battery Life: 25 days
Similar to the Magicwatch 2 in a rugged design. While 25 day battery life is exaggerated, 2 weeks of battery is achievable. Price is a bit high considering the inability to respond to notifications, no app store, no payment capability and no Strava support. A watch to consider if you are looking for a rugged watch.

Very high quality design with excellent build quality and good materials. At this high price range watch is missing many features.

Rating: 5.8 out of 10
Released: Sep 2020
Size: 40.5x40.5x12.4mm
Screen: 1.58" AMOLED

The Fitbit Sense under-delivers as Fitbit's flagship. The poor heart rate accuracy is the most common complaint for this watch. Also many people complain about sync issues. Unacceptable at this price point.
