Intro:

In this video I'll be sharing with you my top picks for the best smartwatches and health trackers based on actual data, and we'll be discussing a range of different brands and models, including garmin, Polar, oura Ring, whoop, Huawei, Fitbit, and Xiaomi. I'll be covering a range of different features and capabilities, including sports tracking, heart rate tracking, general health tracking, GPS tracking, and battery life. Whether you are a fitness enthusiast, a health-conscious individual, or just someone who wants to track your steps and basic health trends, I’ve got you covered. I've based my recommendations on systematic and scientific measurements I've taken over the last few years, since I believe that all my recommendations should be backed by a lot of data. So sit back, relax, and let’s see if we can find the perfect smartwatch or health tracker for you.

I’ve tested more than 80 smartwatches over the last two-and-a-half years, and I have always tried to share the performance of these watches based on unbiased data and systematic analyses. However, one thing that admittedly lacks in my reviews is a consideration of each person's individual needs, which might make certain aspects of a smartwatch more or less relevant. In this video I would therefore like to share my recommendations taking into account the different real-world use cases you might have, but of course still basing my recommendations on all the data I collected.
