How we reached this verdict

TechRadar (4/5) singles out the remarkable 21-day battery, sapphire screen, 10 ATM rating and accurate tracking, but was irked by slow maps and the lack of third-party apps. Gearbrain (8.5/10) found the 21-day battery claim holds up well, calls the Zepp app one of the most powerful companion apps around, and says it undercuts premium multisport watches.

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.
