How we reached this verdict
TechRadar (5/5, Editor's Choice) found its health and fitness tracking accurate and calls it a fully featured watch that can hang with the big names, at outstanding value; its one gripe is no automatic workout detection. Tom's Guide (4.5/5) calls it ridiculously underpriced, praising the touchscreen, sleep tracking and range of fitness features, and got eight days of heavy use from a charge.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
