TOP 15 Smart watches and bracelets according to customer reviews

If you select a watch in the segment before , then be prepared for the fact that this is just a fitness bracelet in the watch case, do not expect a large set of functions from them. Calling a cheap SMART watch a watch is just a marketing ploy; in functionality, they are not far from fitness bracelets.

First decide what you expect from the functional - tracking your workouts, sleep quality, etc.? Then look at the category of fitness bracelets: they also receive notifications from the phone and display them, show the time, date, some even the weather forecast, but the price tag is 3 times lower. If the watch should replace the smartphone and allow it to be taken out of the pocket less, then you should be in the category of “smart” watches, but choose from 15 thousand in order not to experience disappointment in the functionality.

Children's watches completely replace the phone, allow you to contact the child, track his location, but most gadgets do not have high autonomy. And the price for them is lower than for adult smart watches. Details on the models and their features will go further in the review.

TOP 5 smart watches

Amazfit bip

Budget smart watches open the rating undeservedly deprived of attention: they combined the functionality of a sports bracelet and smart watches. Among the differences is a transflective color display, in the daytime it works like an e-ink, reflects sunlight, and at night it is illuminated with built-in backlight. That is, the screen does not reflect in bright sunlight, but, on the contrary, the brighter the light, the more clearly all symbols are visible. Very slim body. Honor Watch Magic are marketed as the thinnest watches, but their thickness is 9.8 mm and Amazfit Bip is 6 mm.

Long battery life - up to 45 days in normal use. This is also one of the largest indicators among competitors. As sports, they have a built-in GPS-module, they work regardless of the smartphone, but for the GPS to work properly, you need a constant connection with the smartphone. Records tracks, synchronizes with the Mit Fit app and allows you to view them later in full detail. Protected against moisture. There is a pedometer, heart rate tracking, sleep quality, there is an alarm function.

The program supports the Cyrillic alphabet, on the watch screen you can manage incoming phone calls, view notifications.

Benefits:

1. Correct support for the Russian language.
2. Long battery life, up to 1080 hours - in standby mode.
3. Transflective color display.
4. Good functionality, displaying information from a smartphone without hangs.
5. Budget cost.
6. Compass.
7. A wide variety of colors to choose from.
8. Thin, comfortable, do not interfere with the hand.
9. There is wireless charging.

Disadvantages:

1. The watch is protected from dust, accidental immersion in water, but the bathing and swimming regimes can not stand.
2. No NFC.
3. Do not connect to Wi-Fi.
4. The pulse is shown incorrect, there is no function of its constant measurement.
5. Low screen resolution.
6. Plastic housing.

Comparing this model with an expensive watch is impractical: some functions are missing simply because of the cost, it also results in minor flaws in the work, low screen resolution, but most of the reviews about the watches are positive.

A good inexpensive watch, a transitional option between a fitness tracker and a full-fledged smart watch. The average price is . Competitors with a richer set of functions will cost a little more: Honor Watch Magic will offer a metal case, talk about the weather, has a built-in gyroscope, but the screen diagonal is slightly smaller - 1.2 ”versus 1.28”, there is no wireless charging, the Amazfit Bip is wireless charging is, the case is made of plastic.

Amazfit Bip - a good option, with a low price, but the more expensive you will consider the model, the richer their functionality and higher quality.

Honor Watch Magic

The model continues from a popular Chinese brand. Positioned as the thinnest smart watches on the market, but there are fewer. Very comfortable and fit well on the hand, light weight, well-polished glass. Laser engraving is applied to the surface of the body, the coating is made of nylon biodegradable plastic. Buying this watch, you also care about the environment.

The strap is double-sided, with an unusual texture, made of Italian leather and silicone rubber. They do not slip on the hand, they look very stylish. The watch has a dual processor that extends the battery usage time - high performance with low power consumption. Battery life with active daily use lasts for a week.

Accurate GPS operation, supports three satellite systems: GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO. The pulse is monitored in real time, a large selection of different types of activity, useful tips, assessment of training. A convenient application for climbers - measures distance, vertical speed, altitude, atmospheric pressure. Can be used while swimming.

TruSleep technology is used to monitor sleep quality: it evaluates sleep habits, breathing, improves sleep quality, and provides easy lifting. There is a standard feature for smart watches - display notifications of incoming calls and messages. The design is different from the Amazfit Bip, reminiscent of the HUAWEI Watch GT Classic - a round dial, a design of classic mechanical watches, will fit well into the business style.

Benefits:

1. Nice classic design, elegant, small in size.
2. High accuracy pedometer, heart rate monitor.
3. Built-in compass.
4. Normal screen resolution.

Disadvantages:

1. No NFC, no Wi-Fi connection.
2. Low autonomy - only 168 hours of standby time.
3. Small screen size.
4. No wireless charging function.
5. Poor choice of dials, more precisely, a large selection, but not many pretty ones.

Having studied the characteristics and reviews of this watch, I concluded that it is, rather, a fitness bracelet in the watch case. If you find it on sale for , then you can take it, it’s inappropriate to buy them more expensive: there are competitors with a similar price, but more interesting functionality. Unlike the previous Amazfit Bip model, the case is made of stainless steel, but the screen is slightly worse, another technology is used, it is exposed to bright sunlight, a slightly smaller diagonal, but the resolution of Honor is an order of magnitude higher.

Autonomy is relatively low, the next model in the HUAWEI Watch GT Classic rating shows up to 720 hours in standby time, Honor only 168. There is no wireless charging, Amazfit has it. Users complain about the incorrect operation of the electronic part. Price - , I think it is somewhat overpriced.

HUAWEI Watch GT Classic

As mentioned above, the watch has a metal case. The straps are easily removable, you can choose a color, change your image. It works from one charge to two weeks - pay attention if you look closely at the Elegant series: the charge is enough for a week.

The watch is equipped with innovative heart rate sensors, monitor it using TruSeen technology.She quickly learns herself, measures her heart rate in real time. They differ in the exact operation of GPS, are connected to 3 satellite systems - GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO.

Useful in training: the program includes various modes of running training for people with different levels of training, useful recommendations, reports are provided. In addition to running programs, there are others for sports on the street and in the gym. The watch collects data during sleep, gives recommendations on how to improve its quality.

There are standard functions for notifications about incoming calls and messages, inform about daily activity and much more. The case is protected from moisture. From Amazfit Bip their design is distinguished - a round dial and a fundamentally different design. The watch is a bit more massive, the strap is made of leather and silicone, similar to the previous Honor Watch Magic model.

Benefits:

1. High autonomy: up to 720 hours - in standby mode, 22 - in active mode.
2. High resolution, readable screen, bright.
3. Good design, they look expensive and fit into the business style.
4. Large selection of workouts.
5. Synchronization with the phone, displaying all notifications.

Disadvantages:

• No NFC.
• Weak processor.

What I would like to add to this watch is its good screen resolution. For comparison: the Apple Watch Series 5 has 326 pixels per inch, the vertical resolution is 448, the horizontal resolution is 368, the HUAWEI has 327/454/454, respectively, although its price is three times lower. Autonomy is also high - 720 hours are declared in standby mode and 22 in active mode. In standby mode, only Amazfit Bip shows more - 1080 hours, in the active mode of the Samsung Galaxy Watch - 96 hours. Users note a good protection against water, but I would not advise swimming actively or taking a shower with this watch either.

Bracelet made of leather and silicone; There are leather inserts in the bracelet only in this rating model, all others are made of silicone. The highest screen resolution, large diagonal - 1.39 ”, more only in Apple Watch Series 5 - 1.78’ ’. There is a compass, in more expensive samples it is not. In general, users are happy for hours and recommend, but do not look for complex functions in them.

Samsung Galaxy Watch (46 mm)

Not one rating comes without Samsung technology. They tried very hard to make the watch look like a mechanical one. The user can customize the look of the dial, the effect of depth, backlight. The dial itself is round, the arrows are shaded, during the display of the clock it emits a clattering sound characteristic of mechanical products. There are dials of different sizes on sale, in this case we are considering 46 mm, but there are also 42 mm (note that the battery capacity in this size is half as much), the colors of the straps are also diverse.

In the settings you can set a constant display of time. The internal memory is 4 GB, in the clock you can download music and listen to it without a mobile phone. The manufacturer claims a very high autonomy, but when compared with other watches, in standby mode the Galaxy runs on a single charge up to 168 hours, while the same Amazfit Bip with a price 5 times lower can withstand up to 1080 hours.

Galaxy Watch is a real personal trainer: measures 6 indicators during training, they can be set up to 39. There is a Samsung Health supplement that helps you monitor your health, monitor your heart, count calories, measure sleep, stress, and management tips breathing to reduce stress.

The watch tracks the awakening, gives a short summary of the weather, scheduled affairs for today and so on. Before going to bed, they give a brief summary of the past day - a report is displayed on the screen, including the state of health for the day. This watch is a real pocket assistant.

Available to install third-party applications. Installed GPS, altitude sensor and barometer. The waterproof case withstands up to 5 atm. Wireless charging is available, the clock is installed on the dock. It is possible to connect the watch to household appliances that support this function, for this the Home loT option is used.

Benefits:

1. The design follows the look of a classic mechanical watch.
2. Autonomy: they work without a phone, even make payments.
3. Bright screen with good colors, high definition, smooth display.
4. Completely replace the fitness bracelet, a large selection of workouts.
5. Good GPS connection.
6. Always on display function.
7. Quick-change interchangeable straps.
8. You can answer calls.
9. Waterproof housing.
10. The ability to pay for hours.
11. Convenient bezel control.

Disadvantages:

1. Small battery capacity compared to competitors: with active use, it is barely enough for two days.
2. Bad work of the pressure sensor: readings jump, sometimes just disappear, incorrect data on the height and counting steps. Such a problem is not in all watches, but in many.

User reviews about watches are very different. Those who have not encountered a marriage, say that this is one of the best watches on the market, which are combined with different operating systems. Next in the ranking we consider the Apple Watch Series 5 GPS, which connect only to iOS phones, but Samsung is almost inferior to Apple in functionality, and even superior in design, since it looks like real mechanical ones - a round case, imitation of the watch’s work, the case is made of stainless steel, Apple has aluminum and ceramic. Samsung is a bit more massive than the popular apple.

It is simply impossible to compare this watch with previous rating models. If earlier we considered, rather, fitness bracelets in the watch case, then this is a full-fledged smart watch. Their price is also fundamentally different: average -. But at the same time, they fully perform the function of a phone, allow you to answer calls, messages and more. Only a large percentage of defects confuses, but it concerns only the barometer, step counter and height measurement, other functions are not affected.

Apple Watch Series 5 GPS 44mm Aluminum

Completing the TOP-5 Smart-watch model with a display that never goes out. You can constantly change your style - more than 100 dial options, easy change of straps. The Apple Watch monitors your heart rate in real time and notifies you if it has abnormalities.

The watch takes care of health in unusual ways - for example, there is a function for determining the volume of surrounding noises. If they are so loud as to damage your hearing, the program warns about it. There are applications for sports: they display achievements and activity rings - a good motivation for more active exercises.

Like the Samsung Galaxy Watch, you can use it to listen to music. There is a compass, height measurement to facilitate orientation. Installed Siri voice assistant, Apple Pay and more. Lock mode in water: locks the screen, protecting from operation. After turning off the mode, a sound is produced that removes water from the speaker gap.

Benefits:

1. Convenient voice message dialing mode.
2. Good screen quality with high resolution.
3. You can set different dials - in different time zones, showing different information, etc.
4. Apple Pay.
5. Fast processor performance.
6. Good functionality: they help in sports and everyday life, track the amount of water drunk, help in training and much more.
7. Loud and clear sound from the speaker.

Disadvantages:

1. Low quality glass: it quickly scratches and loses its appearance, but can be covered with a protective one.
2. High price, like all Apple products.
3. Relatively short battery life - 2-3 days, for such a price is not enough.

Apple is Apple, it can be blamed for inflated prices, it can be praised for its functionality. Fans of this brand always choose its products, but you can buy analogues much cheaper.

Of the shortcomings in the Apple Watch Series 5, I note a poor sleep analysis, more precisely, it is not carried out at all, this function is only “for show”. For a serious analysis of training, they are also not suitable, only superficial information.

Compared to the Samsung Galaxy Watch, then Apple has more internal memory - 16384 MB, a more convenient payment system. Another screen technology: in Samsung - Super AMOLED, in Apple - OLED, the larger the diagonal of the screen, the higher its resolution.

There is an ECG function, but it does not work, as a full-fledged analyzer, is made, rather, to warn people with heart diseases about sudden changes. Most likely, it is based on heart rate meters, since a clock is not enough to read a full cardiogram.

Samsung does not have a thermometer, it is here. Samsung’s active time is higher - 96 hours versus 18. But the price of Apple is almost 10 thousand higher - . As for me, this is just a very expensive toy, although in everyday affairs it helps a lot if you get used to them.

TOP 5 children's smart watches

Life Button Start

This is a stylish gadget that worries about children's safety. Its design includes a watch, a phone, a GPS tracker and a flashlight. For safety, a SOS help button is provided if the child is in a dangerous situation, one click will notify the parents, and the location can be tracked by the GPS tracker. If the watch has been taken off hand, an immediate notification will also be sent.

The clock is used like a phone: a SIM card is installed, and they can receive / send messages and calls. At any time, you can call the child on the clock and listen to what is happening around.

The child will always be under observation, his location is determined with an accuracy of 6 meters. You can set the boundaries of the safe zone, then when you leave it comes an alert. Move history available. To get all the information from your watch, you need to install the free Knopka911 application on your phone.

Benefits:

1. Bright color touch screen.
2. A limited list of numbers for incoming and outgoing calls is set.
3. You can listen to the surroundings at any time.
4. Native smartphone application.
5. GPS accurately determines the location.
6. Comfortably sit on your hand.
7. Bright, interesting design for children.
8. Monitoring calories and sleep.

Disadvantages:

1. Low battery capacity, sometimes not enough until the evening.
2. In the absence of communication with satellites and LBS location, too much dispersion in the determination of location begins - from 50 m to 2 km, which is quite logical.
3. Cannot connect to Wi-Fi.

This watch was conceived as a relatively inexpensive gadget that ensures the safety of the child, but in reality the product is damp. Good features are laid, but their work leaves much to be desired. Users note the incorrect operation of determining the location: for it to work accurately, a constant connection of the clock to the Internet is necessary. The battery quickly loses capacity, the charge lasts for 3-4 hours. The pedometer is often mistaken.

In general, the idea is not bad: the speaker on the watch is very loud, the child can be heard well, you can listen to what is happening around him at any time. You can send small audio and text messages. That is, the watch can completely replace the child’s phone, they can track his location, send an alarm in case of danger. But for such flaws are excusable.

Jet kid swimmer

Standard functionality includes an SOS button, the ability to make calls and receive messages, as in a regular phone, but subject to the installation of a SIM card in the watch. You can call and listen to what is happening around. Geolocation: displaying the location on the map, setting up a geofence with SMS notification of leaving it, viewing the history of movements.

The main difference from the previous model is the camera, and you can use it from the clock and using a special application. That is, the parent can take pictures from the child’s watch using his smartphone. Waterproof. The interface is clear to the child, bright, interesting. The smartphone application was developed jointly with the manufacturers of motherboards for watches, which promises its adequate operation.

Benefits:

1. Fit well on the hand.
2. Camera with control through the application.
3. Easy connection to a smartphone - scanning a QR code.
4. Anti-lost function - search for watches in case of loss.
5. Setting a safe zone.
6. It is water resistant, it is impossible to swim and immerse in water, but if you accidentally wet it, the watch will stand it.
7. Relatively accurate geolocation.
8. Connect to Wi-Fi, Glonass.

Disadvantages:

1. Low battery capacity.
2. The charging method is inconvenient, it is difficult to install the watch on the contacts, and it often leaves during recharging.
3. There is no indication of taking the watch off the hand.

The watch has slightly fewer errors than the Start Life Button, but their average price is higher - about ... The sizes of the watches are the same. There is no camera in the Life Button, but it is of poor quality in the Jet Kid Swimmer: you won’t be able to take a high-quality selfie, just get an approximate overview of everything that happens around the child. The screen resolution is also higher than in the Life Button, a similar resolution in the rating is only for ELARI KidPhone 3G. This watch also has the highest battery capacity among all. The diagonal of the screen is 1.44 ″, as in the Life Button, the same screen size in the Jet Kid Scout, we will consider them further.

In general, the watch is not bad for the money. Some users complain about the difficulties of connecting to a smartphone, sometimes the IMEI does not match on the watch and on the box, which causes difficulties with pairing in the application. There are a number of users who are dissatisfied with the quality of location determination, but cheaper Chinese-made analogs give an even greater error. For the money you can take.

Smart Baby Watch T58

The watch does not offer anything new that we have not yet considered in the previous models, I will not repeat myself - receiving calls, listening, locating. There is no camera like in the Jet Kid Swimmer. The average price did not go far from them - .

Benefits:

1. Nice design, like children of all ages.
2. Easy setup, can be connected to native app or others.
3. Accurate location.
4. Convenient control system with two buttons.
5. Small size of the watch.
6. 2G support.
7. Wi-Fi connection.
8. Long battery life - up to 96 hours in standby mode.

Disadvantages:

• The screen is not bright, but monochrome, easily illuminated by the sun.
• No vibration.
• The screen is not touch-sensitive, but the control is successfully realized by means of buttons.
• Fragile display glass (quickly cracking).
• Not protected against moisture.

The watch is very good, especially considering its price. For a more accurate location determination, I advise you not to install the native AIBEILE application. It is better to use third-party software - "Where are my children", turning off location detection via cellular networks. Good work of the speaker, microphone, but there is no vibration, which is not always convenient.

Note that the screen is monochrome, dark and with blue letters. If you want a brighter and bigger screen, I recommend Jet Kid Swimmer - the screen size is larger, like the watch itself, higher resolution, color touchscreen, but no 2G support.

In addition, Smart Baby Watch T58 can include work with early operating systems - ANDROID 4.0, IOS 6, other models work only with later versions. If you need a watch with moisture protection, I recommend the Jet Kid Swimmer or ELARI KidPhone 3G. True, the latter will cost more, but they are also more interesting in functionality, then we will consider them in detail. The watch is good, I recommend to buy.

Jet kid scout

All the same standard functionality for children's watches. The difference from the Jet Kid Swimmer is less protection, withstands splashes, direct hit of water is not recommended, there is no camera. The sizes are exactly the same. The Scout uses a micro-SIM, the Swimmer nano-SIM, but this is a minor difference. They support 2G, Swimmer does not have this feature, but they have better screen resolution and a Wi-Fi connection. The battery capacity of the watch is the same.

Benefits:

1. Large, easy-to-use screen, child-friendly interface.
2. Hand sensor.
3. Connection to 2G.
4. Loud speaker, clear sound.
5. Connected to Glonass.

Disadvantages:

• Bad battery: the charge lasts only 1-1.5 days, quickly loses its capacity.
• Quite a crude application, bad Russification.
• No Wi-Fi connection.
• Inconvenient charging socket: the protective cap is difficult to pick up and easy to tear off.

Good and comfortable watches, accurate geolocation, normal communication quality. Even a mathematical game has been established, although this can also be attributed to minuses - more reasons to be distracted during classes.If you want a watch with more dust and moisture protection, then take a closer look at the Jet Kid Swimmer or ELARI KidPhone 3G. The latter offer vibration, 3G and a 2MP camera with video recording capabilities, and they have built-in 4GB memory.

The screen resolution is low, comparable to the Start Life Button, but enough for a watch. In terms of battery capacity, they are similar to the previous models considered, you should not expect a lot of autonomy, you will have to charge it daily. The charging method is better than the Jet Kid Swimmer, there is no such difficulty in connecting to the contacts. The watch is good, I recommend it for purchase.

ELARI KidPhone 3G

The price of this watch is about , but their functionality is more interesting. In addition to the standard functions that have already been considered in previous models, there is a lot more interesting, especially the fact that the clock works on the ANDROID OS. There is support for the voice assistant "Alice", video communication, a pedometer, implemented in a game form, a 2 MP front camera. In the watch, you can remotely set the alarm, change the menu design, there is vibration. Protected from moisture, Internet access - via 3G and Wi-Fi.

Benefits:

1. All the necessary functionality for the safety of the child.
2. They run on ANDROID OS, but are compatible with IOS.
3. Protected from dust, moisture.
4. Vibration.
5. Camera with video recording and video communication.
6. Good screen resolution and diagonal.
7. Internet access - via Wi-Fi and 3G.
8. The voice assistant "Alice" is installed.
9. When the SOS function is activated, the audio recording of the surroundings is automatically activated.

Disadvantages:

1. There is no function of receiving and sending SMS.
2. Pedometer readings are inaccurate for the indicated cost (shows too many steps taken).
3. The smartphone app is poorly optimized for IOS above version 10 inclusive.
4. The removal of the watch from the hand is not determined.
5. Brittle glass.
6. Frequent software freezes, information in the application is updated for a long time.

The watch is interesting, there is a voice assistant with which the child can communicate and even play, a camera with video support, but the watch itself is weak. Fragile screen, freezing software. But there is support for 3G and Wi-Fi, large battery capacity, good screen resolution. If you want to buy something cheaper with similar picture quality, I recommend the Jet Kid Swimmer: they also have Wi-Fi support and a camera, but without video recording.

The watch is quite expensive, but provides a lot of functionality. Do not expect quick work from them, but they cope with the function of communication with the child and control over him.

TOP 5 fitness bracelets

Honor band 5

Budget wristband with AMOLED 0.95 '' touchscreen. The body is protected from water, there is NFC technology, the function of measuring oxygen in the blood, a choice of 10 types of training.

3. Some types of workouts are started only from a smartphone, which causes some inconvenience.

A very good bracelet for little money. Price - ... If you don't play sports professionally, you will find all the necessary functionality in it. There are slight slowdowns and flaws, but not critical. High screen resolution, large battery capacity. Please note that there is no timer or stopwatch in the watch. If these features are important, take a look at Amazfit Cor or Xiaomi Mi Band 4.These models have a similar cost, with a scratch-resistant screen, the battery capacity in Xiaomi is lower, but it connects to the Smart Home system and has voice control.

Amazfit Cor

The bracelet is a bit more massive than the previous one in the rating, but it also has a larger diagonal, the largest of all bracelets in the rating is 1.23 ’’. On the screen you can see notifications in full detail. In standby mode, it works slightly less than the previous one - 288 hours versus 336. The rim of the bracelet is made of stainless steel, the glass is 2.5D, withstands pressure up to 5 ATM, you can train and not be afraid to damage the bracelet.

Protected from water, can be used while swimming and swimming.

8. Water resistant.
9. Conclusion on the screen of notifications from phone, weather, other necessary information.

Disadvantages:

1. Not very convenient fastening of the strap: it often unfastens, and the bracelet tries to fall off the hand.
2. Quite massive, but it is compensated by the screen diagonal. Due to the large size, it often clings, which increases the likelihood of breaking the screen or losing the bracelet.

The price is $ 50, but the model provides good and all the necessary functionality with high autonomy. The battery can work up to two weeks, a week - with very active use. Good value for money, the bracelet can be recommended for purchase.

The screen technology is IPS, but it differs slightly from AMOLED, which the Honor Band 5 is equipped with. As mentioned above, the largest screen size. This is both a plus and a minus at once: the bracelet is more massive, clings, sometimes tries to slip off the hand, constant contact with objects increases the likelihood of breaking it. But at the same time, more characters fit on the screen with a large diagonal: it has become more informative than in Honor Band 5. With an increased diagonal, the resolution is slightly lower. There is a timer, stopwatch, which Honor does not have.

Xiaomi Mi Band 4

The functionality of this bracelet differs from the previous ones in the rating, it is equipped with a microphone and voice control. There is a gyroscope. The pulse is constantly monitored in real time. By analogy with Amazfit Cor, it is equipped with a stopwatch and timer. High autonomy - up to 480 hours of operation. Another important advantage over others is that it can connect to the “Smart Home” system, if it is relevant for you. The screen is easy to read in bright sunlight. Large selection of screen designs to choose from - about 77.

The bracelet has undergone many changes in comparison with previous generations of Xiaomi bracelets: the screen has become colored, but the battery life has not changed and remained at the level of 20 days without recharging. The screen has become larger and contains more information. A voice assistant has appeared, with it you can control the bracelet. Sensors have been updated, now measuring physical activity has become even more accurate. In general, users who are accustomed to previous generations will find many surprises.

Benefits:

1. Screen brightness is adjustable.
2. Large selection of workouts.
3. Playlist management on a smartphone.
4. Waterproof.
5. Voice Assistant.
6. Connection to the "Smart Home" system.
7. High autonomy.
8. Timer, stopwatch.
9. High measurement accuracy.

Disadvantages:

1. The charging is inconvenient, it is difficult to get the capsule out of the bracelet, in addition, it is highly likely to break it.
2. The pedometer counts steps only when you move your hands, for example, if you roll the stroller, the steps are not counted.

Xiaomi has released an excellent bracelet with a reasonable price - . It performs all the functions assigned to it, and also additional "buns" in the form of a connection to the "Smart Home" system and a voice assistant. I can call this bracelet the best in its price segment. The battery holds for a very long time, the connection with the phone is not lost, users do not notice freezes and errors in work. There are some minor flaws in the pedometer and inconvenient charging, but for 3 thousand it cannot be called critical.

There is no GPS in the bracelet; if you are interested in this feature, take a look at HUAWEI Band 3 Pro. It has better screen resolution with a similar diagonal and the same AMOLED technology. Weather notifies, but HUAWEI does not have a microphone and voice assistant. This Xiaomi model is difficult to find a worthy competitor.

HUAWEI Band 3 Pro

The only one of all bracelets in the rating with GPS, which increases the accuracy of calculating the distance traveled, the price is slightly higher than the previous ones - . The screen diagonal is standard - 0.95 '', only Amazfit Cor has more. But at the same time a very high screen resolution. For sleep monitoring, TruSeen technology has been introduced, it uses infrared radiation and elements of artificial intelligence, data on heart rate is provided with an accuracy of a second. In sleep monitoring, they are similar to Honor Band 5, because the same technology is used.

Benefits:

1. Waterproof.
2. Good sync with your phone.
3. A smart alarm clock that works very efficiently.
4. Bright good screen.
5. Palpable vibration.
6. Good sleep monitoring and analysis.
7. A necessary set of workouts.

Disadvantages:

1. Uninformative application.
2. Low autonomy compared to competitors: one charge holds up to 3 days, with the GPS always on, the charge lasts up to 7 hours.
3. Poorly reads indicators while swimming.

It differs from Honor Band 5 only in slightly advanced functionality: added GPS, gyroscope, constant heart rate measurement with a report to a second. The rest of the models are similar. Higher and the price of HUAWEI - it is more expensive by .

The main disadvantages are not in the bracelet itself, but in the attached application. It is uninformative, does not give hints, does not notify of an increase in heart rate (everything needs to be checked manually, the application only shows all the information). But this is not particularly critical, it does not affect the work of the bracelet itself. But if you go in for sports professionally, then this bracelet may not be very convenient for you. Take a closer look at the Honor Band 5: it provides alerts for exceeding heart rate, training recommendations.
