At today’s conference, Huawei presented two new flagship smartphones. Mate 40 Pro + and Mate 40 Pro and Mate 40, because these specific models are a show of the manufacturer’s strength, which must once again convince users for whom the lack of Google services is an obstacle in purchasing Huawei equipment. Looking at how powerful the new units are and how their design looks, it should be admitted to the creators that they made an effort to design the smartphone. As always with Huawei’s flagships, we can expect very developed photographic possibilities. These will be provided by a system consisting of three cameras, the main of which can boast a resolution 50 Mpix.
Huawei Mate smartphones 40, Mate 40 Pro and Mate 40 Pro + has just been officially presented. We look at the most important flagships of the manufacturer for the year 2020.
Huawei Matebook 14 – Laptop test with Ryzen 5 4600 H with 3: 2 screen
Same as last year’s series Mate, Huawei also decided here two basic variants of the smartphone. However, the Pro option also comes as Pro +, which gives us a total of three variants. First, let’s focus on the Mate version 40 because it may be the biggest attraction of this year’s product portfolio of a Chinese manufacturer. The housing, as you might guess, consists of glass on the front and backs and an aluminum frame. The screen is a 6.5 inch Flex OLED HDR Compliant 04 + Resolution 2376 x 1080 pixels for which the image is refreshed at the frequency of 90 Hz. Missing here 120 Hz or even 144 Hz, but as they say, “you can’t have it all.” The glass pane overlaps the sides.
Huawei P Test 40 Pro: The new king of photography with a very efficient battery
On the side frames a smartphone with IP waterproofing class 68 physical buttons have been re-placed. For the performance of Huawei Mate 40 Pro corresponds to the Kirin chip 9000 5G made in 5nm technological process, Mali-G graphics 78 MP 24, 8 or 12 GB RAM and 256 or 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The processor consists of 1 Cortex-A core 77 clock 3, 13 GHz, three Cortex-A cores 77 working in frequency 2, 54 GHz and four Cortex A cores – 55 with clock 2. 04 GHz. The manufacturer has not forgotten to include solutions such as WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC and USB-C (3.1) in the equipment. Battery 4400 mAh (4500 mAh Pro version +), because it went to Mate 40 We charge the Pro with power 66 W About 40 minutes. There is also wireless charging 50 W. Unfortunately, we will not find a 3.5mm Jack audio connector here, and dual SIM is a hybrid option (nano SIM + nano memory).
Huawei P smartphone test 40 Lite: because you can’t have everything
It’s just as interesting about photography . The camera on the back will consist of: 50 Mpix of the main unit with f / 1.8 light, 12 Mpix telephoto lens with f / 3.4 light and 20 Mpix of the ultra wide-angle lens with f / 1.8 light. There will also be a TOF sensor. Mate 40 Pro records video at maximum 8K resolution at 30 FPS and 4K at 60 FPS. Responsible for the selfie is 13 Mpix webcam with f / 2.4 light. However, in the Mate Pro + variant, we will additionally receive a 3D face scanner (3D Face Unlock). This means that the sensor that recognizes the user’s fingerprint will not be the only viable method of biometric security. The smartphone is available in gray, white and silver color versions.
On Huawei Mate 40 we only find a single selfie camera without a three-dimensional face scanner. However, the Mate variant 40 Pro + and Mate 40 Pro can boast not a single, but a double telephoto lens that allows you to use the optical zoom. The more expensive smartphone was made of black and white ceramics. Other visual issues remain unchanged here. However, we will not find Google services in any of the smartphones. The software is based on EMUI 10. Huawei also showed FreeBuds Studio headphones, x Gentle Monster Eyewear II glasses, Sound speaker and smartwatch – Watch GT 2 Pro in Porsche Design version.
The most popular smart watches available on the market are hardly cheap. Amounts oscillating around PLN 1500, and sometimes exceeding the barrier 2000, seem to be a standard. Of course, we will also find cheaper proposals, although in their case we have to accept some shortcomings in functions and the low quality of construction. However, this is not a rule, as one of the manufacturers of consumer electronics from the Middle Kingdom convinces us. Huami presented Amazfit Pop, a freshwater that does not save on the presence of SpO2, NFC measurements and device operation time on a single battery charge. You will pay really “funny” money for the equipment.
Huami Amazfit Pop is an inexpensive smartwatch with NFC, SpO2 sensor and efficient battery. Here are the essential details.
Xiaomi Mi Band 5 smartband review – invariably invincible
Admittedly, for the amount of up to 200 we can already buy a smartwatch, but its possibilities will be quite limited, not to mention the execution and style. The exception is the recently presented Huami Amazfit Pop. The equipment continues the company’s policy, in which an attractive price combined with quality play the first fiddle. The device design refers to the previous designs of the Amazfit series and after all, we also see a strong inspiration here with the Apple Watch model. The housing is made of polycarbonate. For many, this will be an advantage. Picture resolution 320 x 302 pixels (305 PPI) is displayed on 1, 43 – inch TFT 2D LCD screen, which has been covered with a layer that protects against streaks. How effective this protection is will be shown by the time.
Premiere of the new Xiaomi Mi Watch Color Sports Edition
Weighted design 31 grams are submersible up to 50 meters. The built-in battery with a capacity 225 mAh should last up to 9 days of work with standard use. Naturally, we find here a pedometer, calorie counter and heart rate sensor. There was also an SpO2 sensor, NFC for contactless payments and 60 sport modes. Connectivity with smartphones is realized via Bluetooth 5.0 technology. Fans of personalizing the appearance will appreciate the presence 50 of different shields.

We tried Lego Hidden Side, the new Ninjago board game and the powered-up Batmobile.
Digitization is also going on Lego does not pass without a trace. With Hidden Side, the company is (once again) trying to link the topic of smartphones directly to the stones. An AR app, which virtually lures ghosts hidden in the models, should help. Powered Up takes a different approach: In this concept, a Bluetooth-compatible mini-computer is controlled via an app, which is built into the models and in turn drives motors, sensors or lights. We have built up models of both concepts, tried them out and explained which idea scores where.
In the update we also look at the new Ninjago sets. Although they are not networked, they can also be used as a board game and starting point for a Ninjago role-playing game.
The models in our short test. Lego Hidden Side Hidden Side is Lego’s attempt to get started in AR. The idea: You build a Lego model, scan it in the app and then go on a digital ghost hunt. Lego wants to combine virtual games with real bricks. The idea is interesting, but unfortunately it doesn’t quite work. On the one hand, because the app does not run on all Android smartphones. Especially the cheaper devices do not support the app. On the other hand, parents and Lego fans are up against the idea that offline Legos have to be coupled with digital features.
The heroes of the Hidden Side series are two ghost hunters with cell phones and dog. In our test with two Construction sets, the shrimp cutter (number 70419) and El Fuegos stunt truck (number 70421), we remain a bit divided back. Because the actual models are very fun. The ghost idea isn’t bad and shows some pretty clever features, like when the tombstone pops up and shows a monster grimace. These little elements are found in almost all models in the Hidden Side series and are simply fun. We also like the color scheme, this special green is rarely represented in Lego models.
On the other hand is the app. There you play a ghost who haunts the models (which you don’t have to own) in a kind of child-friendly 3rd person shooter. Or you slip into the role of a budding ghost hunter who cleans the ghosts of models he or she owns. For that you get fans and Gloom points, the latter are put into virtual improvements. Fortunately, you have to earn these points, Lego did not use microtransactions. After building a model, you scan it in and then perform tasks such as shooting ghosts. Clever: Each model has a colored rotating element that can be used to influence the difficulty or the tasks in the app. The ghost hunt is fun, but rarely challenging. It’s more of a bite to eat than a full-fledged video game.
Unfortunately, the AR function is also subject to the limitations of the technology. If you modify the model too much, the app will no longer recognize it. For example, we packed the stunt truck on the Batmobile frame (see below) and the app only recognized it after several attempts. That’s a shame. If Lego had used special marker bricks or stickers, you could have upgraded your own buildings with AR features – then your own knight’s castle in the app would have become a haunted castle.
Interim conclusion We like Hidden Side as Idea. A creepy side of Lego, with models that have little peculiarities that you only see at second glance, that’s a cool thing. The integration with the app is nice, but unfortunately somehow forced. It would have been nice if the AR features could be integrated into other worlds and sets – Ninjago is almost an obvious choice. It would have been fun if Lego had developed special stickers or building blocks that can be read out and used in the AR app.
The shrimp cutter and ghost captain. Hidden has a big advantage Side: The prices for the actually new models are already falling significantly. The model “Newbury’s Haunted School” (number 70425) was included in the Lego summer catalog 2019 For 119 Euro announced, now it’s for um the 80 euros. This runs through all hidden-side models. So if you are looking for an inexpensive Lego set with funny gimmicks and an interesting color scheme – and can do without the AR app if necessary – you should grab it.
Update : Despite all prophecies of doom, Hidden Side is still there. We think that’s a good thing because it means that interesting models continue to come onto the market. In 2020 these are mainly in the lower price range. Six models, including the subway station with 348 Share there it for under 20 Euro. So if you like Hidden Side, you can use it to expand your collection.
Lego Ninjago The stories about Lloyd, Cole, Nya, Zane and Co are a real money maker for Lego. No wonder Ninjago continues to expand. In the test this time we had the new dungeon of the skull magician (set number 71722). What is special about this is that it is not just a simple model. The board game is easy to understand: everyone chooses a ninja and notes its values. Then you roll the supplied Spinjutzu die and move the number of spaces. There are a few action fields, for example for traps or to search for treasure.
The fights are simple: You roll the dice again, with a skull you have lost, with a heart you win . If the heroes’ hearts are used up, they lose the game. However, you can find new hearts or equipment on the field. The instructions in the form of a comic are easy to understand and you can start playing pretty quickly.
The rules for the board game are easy to understand, here is an excerpt from the instructions. It will be much more exciting when not only the children play, but when someone takes on the role of game master. In addition to the board game, there is a complete role-playing game based on Ninjago, which can be downloaded for free from the associated campaign page. The players can choose a ninja, everyone has different values, which are divided into the areas of body, mind and resilience. These values become relevant when different obstacles have to be overcome during the adventure. The game master leads the players through the adventures, some of which require different sets of Ninjago. With a little imagination and enough components, you can recreate pretty much any scenario. Here the encounters and rules become much more complex.
Lego Ninjago (9 pictures) The Lego Ninjago play set “Dungeon of the Skull Magician” is both a board game and lets use yourself for a role play.
In solving the problem, Lego has apparently oriented itself towards RPG systems such as Pathfinder: In the adventures, obstacles are represented by a difficulty value that must be exceeded by the players. To do this, they add their respective abilities with a die roll. The system works wonderfully, but it does assume that players can read their characters and interpret their skills. The age specification of 9 years and more is appropriate in our opinion.
The sets from this series can be put together so that you can build up an ever larger field. The model itself is surprisingly complex. Inside there are several elements made of Lego technology, over which different parts of the model move. If you turn the cage downwards, the plates on the main aisle are raised and lowered and the knives rotate to the side. The construction is sometimes a bit complicated for children, but it is a lot of fun.
Interim conclusion The Ninjago-RPG is a good introduction to the subject of pen & paper role-playing games. The system is comparatively easy to understand and thanks to the figures for players and opponents, it quickly becomes plastic. A game master who has some experience can probably quickly develop other encounters in addition to the supplied adventures. And once the kids have tasted blood, you can simply introduce them to other systems. Both The Dark Eye and Dungeons & Dragons have special scenarios and rules for young adventurers.
Lego Powered Up Lego goes a different way at Powered Up. Behind it is basically a Bluetooth-enabled mini-computer to which motors, sensors or lights can be connected. The associated app for Android and iOS then controls the model from the mobile phone and allows rudimentary automatic functions to be programmed. Unlike with Hidden Side, we were able to install the Powered-Up app on all Android phones in the editorial office.
Powered Up controls the motors in the Batmobile via Bluetooth and a simple app. The highlight of Powered Up : Although there are several ready-made sets, control modules can be easily installed and used in other models. In the test, we built El Fuego’s truck from the Hidden Side series on the Batmobile’s engine and were able to control it without any problems. This is Lego the way it should be.
If you dig a little deeper into the app, you will discover a rudimentary code editor. It is reminiscent of the boost sets (test at heise online). Actions can be assigned to up to three quick buttons in the object-oriented editor. For example, the Batmobile races away at full throttle at the push of a button. The code editor is a good first introduction to the programming world, especially for children. The code editor is optional, but thanks to its simplicity it creates quick results
(Pocket-lint) – Having one of the best fitness trackers on your wrist can help elevate your activity tracking to the next level, with most top offerings coming with the ability to log your steps, workouts, and sleep automatically.
Thankfully, what was once an area populated by expensive devices has now been counterbalanced by more reasonably priced picks, making it easier than ever to get started with fitness tracking and achieving your goals.
Most activity bands aren’t as feature-packed as smartwatches, but they do offer a great entry into the world of wearables and can add value to your life no matter what level you are. To help you figure out which is the right pick, we’ve detailed some of the best in the business – let’s explore further.
Which fitness tracker is right for you?
Xiaomi Mi Band 4
squirrel_widget_3325339
Xiaomi’s fourth iteration of the Mi Band is smart, powerful, and, simply, the best value for money fitness tracker you can buy.
The full-color AMOLED touch display lets you view incoming calls, texts, app notifications, and music, with a 3-axis accelerometer and waterproofing (up to 5ATM) allowing you to track a wide range of exercises in rain or shine.
Despite the heart rate monitor also keeping an eye on workouts and sleep, the Mi Band still manages a very impressive 20 days, too, which is as good as it gets in this range.
Letsfit fitness tracker
squirrel_widget_3325362
If you want the look of a smartwatch but don’t necessarily need the extensive features one provides, Letsfit’s tracker is a great pick to consider.
The 1.3-inch screen allows you to view your workout and sleep data more readily than on a traditional tracker, with support also present for music control, stress training, and notifications.
With up to 10 days of battery, as well as the ability to sync and store your data in the intuitive VeryFitPro companion app, this rounds out as an affordable and feature-packed experience.
Fitbit Inspire
squirrel_widget_265718
Fitbit’s original Inspire may have been superseded by a newer model, but this is still an excellent device – now at a more affordable price, too.
You get all the usual Fitbit trademarks with this tracker – solid build quality, discreet design, and, of course, access to the excellent Fitbit app, where all your data is held and displayed.
The sleep tracking functionality is best-in-class (particularly if you pay a bit extra for the Inspire HR model), with workouts and daily activity also available to be synced and viewed at any time.
Battery life is a very solid five days, as well, leaving you plenty of time to enjoy the experience before throwing it back onto the charger.
Lintelek fitness tracker
squirrel_widget_3325364
Lintelek’s tracker gives you all the basics in a smart-looking package for a very reasonable outlay, making it a solid choice for first-timers.
There’s tracking for daily activity, such as steps and calorie burn, while the heart rate monitor can also be called into action for dedicated workouts (with 14 different modes to pick between) and sleep monitoring.
There’s also notification support for texts, calls, and other apps, with battery life stretching to around five days.
Yamay fitness tracker
squirrel_widget_3325366
Yamay’s offering is another great example of sneaking fitness tracking into a smartwatch’s form – again, for a superb, entry-level price.
It doesn’t skimp on the features, either, with both activity and workout tracking, sleep monitoring and support for smartphone notifications.
Data can be viewed on the tracker’s screen or from within the VeryFitPro app, with battery life providing around a week of use before a recharge is necessary.
For those concerned with how it looks on the wrist, there are also seven different finishes to pick between.
A new smartwatch from Xiaomi debuted in China today – say hello to the Mi Watch Color Sports Edition. As the name suggests this is a sportier version of the Mi Watch Color which is known as the Mi Watch Revolve outside of China. The big difference comes in the casing which is made from aluminum instead of stainless steel and comes in black, blue, and ivory colors. There’s also home and sport dials this time around with the latter giving you quick access when you want to start a workout.
The dimensions are unchanged from the Mi Watch/ Revolve though the Sports Edition weighs just 32.5 grams compared to the 40 grams of its more premium counterpart. There’s plenty of watch strap colors to match the casing options as well as yellow, green and burgundy variants.
Xiaomi Mi Watch Color Sports Edition in black
Elsewhere it’s the same old specs including a 1.39-inch AMOLED display, onboard GPS and NFC. It still comes with sports tracking for up to 117 different modes and is water-resistant at up to 50-meter depths. It can also track your heart rate, blood oxygen levels and sleep.
Mi Watch Color Sports Edition will retail for CNY 699 ($105) which is CNY 100 ($15) less than the Mi Watch Color’s price in China. Pre-orders there tip-off tomorrow October 21 while official sales start on November 1. International availability was not yet detailed.
Some owners of the new Apple Watch SE report a hardware error that can lead to the smartwatch overheating. Currently, however, all the information comes from one market – South Korea, where there are currently six reported cases, as a user on Reddit has put together. The country may have received a faulty delivery, so it is unclear how widespread the problem actually is.
Rudely awakened by overheating Those affected suddenly develop a lot of heat in the watch. This can happen when the device is charging. However, cases have also been reported where the watch overheats even on the arm. In at least one case, this happened while wearing the watch overnight – the person concerned was awakened roughly and had red spots on his wrist. After overheating, the screen could no longer be activated, a yellow “burn-in point” appears on the top right Side of the display. Fires do not appear to have occurred.
Apple is exchanging devices Apple is currently handling the problem an exchange of affected models. It remained unclear exactly where the heat was generated. MacRumors speculates that it could be the area between the Taptic Engine and the display connector , the Apple Watch SE should have a similar structure to previous computer clocks from the group.
SE is Apple’s new entry-level model The Apple Watch SE was launched together with the Apple Watch Series 6 in October. Apple wants to leave the device on the market for a longer period of time – it should serve as a new entry-level model. The smartwatch relies on the S5 chip from last year’s model Se
Apple Watch clones are cheap, stylish and can do a lot. TechStage takes a look at the Willful Samrtwatch, Xiaomi Amazfit GTS, Amazfit Bip, Fitbit Versa 2 and their alternatives.
The Apple Watch is considered the best smartwatch. It owes this to its pleasing appearance, the high-quality workmanship and above all the high range of functions. Your problem: The current version costs at least 400 Euro and only works with iOS devices.
But there are alternatives. The Willful Smartwatch is very popular on Amazon thanks to its low price and great visual similarity to the Apple Watch. Huami also competes with the Apple group in the wearable sector. The Xiaomi daughter is only about five years old and sold 2018 already most wearables worldwide. It also owes this to its Xiaomi Mi Band series. In our test, the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 (test report) and the Xiaomi Mi Band 4 (test report) convince with their strong hardware and the unbeatable price-performance ratio. With the 3 series we complained about the bad localization, the 4 series, on the other hand, does everything right and consequently receives the grade ” Very good” our clear purchase recommendation.
Willful Smartwatch The Willful Smartwatch is the most popular smart watch on Amazon. Depending on the color, it costs between 30 and 40 Euro and offers a lot of features for its low price. This includes tracking the steps taken, the calories burned and the kilometers traveled. It also measures the pulse, sleep and uses the GPS of the smartphone connected via Bluetooth to show a route, for example while running. It also shows incoming messages and calls, controls music and has a flashlight, timer, stopwatch, mobile phone location and breathing trainer.
It looks a lot like the Apple Watch. She is 12 millimeters thick, 35 mm wide and 41 millimeters long. Your 1.3 inch display is with 240 × 240 Pixels nice and sharp, sufficiently bright and offers usable viewing angles. However, the display edge is much too thick, especially on the lower side. Remarkable: Despite its low price it offers an IP 65 certification. You should be able to swim with it without hesitation. Salt water should be avoided.
The bracelet offers a quick-release fastener so that it can be swapped with one hand. It’s made of a soft plastic and feels good on the skin. According to the seller Willfull, the battery should last seven to ten days. In practice, we still get a good five days. It is charged using the charging adapter supplied.
Willful Smartwatch (17 Pictures) The Willful Smartwatch has a sharp and quite bright display.
When using the app, you can quickly see why the watch is so cheap. For example, when setting up for the first time, it is not possible to set the unit from feet to centimeters and from pounds to kilograms when specifying your own height and weight. In this case, Google will help with the conversion. The notification function only works with some apps, including Facebook, Instagram, SMS, Messenger and Whatsapp. When it comes to music control, the app gives the user the choice between Spotify, Youtube Music and Google Play Music. If desired, the app exchanges with Google Fit and Strava. Overall, however, the app is okay, if a little confusing. It offers a lot of setting options.
Not surprisingly, the Willful Smartwatch cannot do ten times keep up with such expensive apple watch. Nevertheless, it is just for its low price of 28 to 40 euros worth a recommendation. They are almost identical in construction from other retailers on Amazon and from various China retailers.
Amazfit GTS At the IFA 2019 showed Huami an Apple Watch clone that has it all. The Amazfit GTS is visually very similar to the Apple model, offers very good workmanship with a metal frame, water resistance up to 50 m and a very beautiful, bright and colorful 1, 65 – inch OLED touch display with a resolution of strong 400 × 348 Pixel, which is easy to read even in direct sunlight. The Amazfit GTS even manages to undercut the weight and dimensions of the Apple Watch and surpass the battery life. Huami states ten days here. In practice it is even significantly more days.
Huami Amazfit GTS (7 pictures) In terms of its range of functions, you have to accept compromises compared to an Apple Watch. Nevertheless, the Amazfit GTS does a very good job both as a fitness and sleep tracker and as a smartwatch. It supports twelve activities, including walking, running, cycling, swimming, climbing and skiing. It also records GPS data and shows the distance covered in the app. The athlete can see his current pulse at any time on the Amazfit GTS display. The display shows incoming messages reliably, the vibration alarm is strong. However, pictures and emojis are left out and the smartphone must also be used to answer.
The Amazfit GTS costs well 85 Euro.
Amazfit Bip The Amazfit Bip is the predecessor of the GTS. It also looks like the Apple Watch, is up to date with 55 Euro but only half as expensive as you Amazfit GTS. For this, your color display solves with 100 × 127 pixels significantly lower, the display is 1, 28 inches also much smaller and therefore the display edges thicker. The housing is made of plastic. The Bip is waterproof and GPS is on board. In terms of battery life, the Amazfit Bip outperforms most competing models. So should the little one 190 – mAh battery the clock 45 Keep going for days. A value that many testers confirm. It also offers many fitness and some smartwatch functions. Users complain about their sometimes poor localization. However, the price-performance ratio is unbeatable, here many buyers can certainly overlook one or the other defect.
Fitbit Versa 2 The Fitbit Versa 2 (test report) and its predecessor Fitbit Versa (test report) largely look like the Apple Watch. In the following we describe the Versa 2, which we recommend if you are interested in buying. It costs about 30 euros more than its predecessor, but offers, among other things, the payment option Fitbit Pay via NFC, more sophisticated fitness options and the much nicer display. This is 1.4 inches tall, loosens 300 × 300 pixels and uses OLED technology, the perfect black level of which is particularly impressive on a smartwatch. Above all, OLED saves the battery, as black pixels do not convert any energy. This lasts for about five to six days with normal use, with an activated Always-On-Display the time is halved. We really like the integration of the voice assistant Alexa, which is activated via the button on the side. Despite the WLAN option, the whole thing only works if the connected smartphone is nearby. The Versa 2 app is very good. We would have only wished for a few more watch faces. The clock only saves one thing locally, which is no longer up to date.
Fitbit offers the option for everyone who wants to leave their smartphone at home while exercising To save MP3 files to the Versa 2. Fitbit does not reveal how big the memory is, but it should be used for 300 Songs are enough. She owns

Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro
New faces for the Huawei Watch GT. It is a pity that the paid
Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro is a premium brand smartwatch whose dial is protected by sapphire glass. In turn, the case made of titanium protects the watch against shocks, and the back part of the case, where sensors monitoring, among other things, the heart rate or the stress level are located, contains ceramic elements.

(Pocket-lint) – Sleep is a bit of a unifier – we all do it, after all. More than that, we all have to do it, there’s no getting around it. It’s an activity most of us spend upwards of 30% of our time on this planet doing, so it should be no wonder that it’s worth prioritising.
Best Fitbit fitness tracker: Which Fitbit is right for you?
Best Garmin watch: Fenix, Forerunner and Vivo compared
As with the rest of our health and wellbeing, then, it makes sense that a massive range of options have popped up to let you keep track of your sleep, both in terms of how much you’re getting and the quality of that rest. We’re in the midst of a data revolution, and your sleep’s part of it.
So, if you’re keen to jump on board and start tracking how well you’re spending that time in bed, what are some of the best trackers on the market to do it with? You’re in luck – we’ve put together this handy list of all the very best choices for you. We’ll start with some dedicated bed monitors, before moving on to some wearable options.
Withings Sleep Analyzer
squirrel_widget_270146
Withings knows what it’s doing with sleep tracking – it’s been doing it for years. The Withings Sleep Analyzer is great evidence of that fact. It’s a flat sensor that slips under you mattress and syncs to your phone wirelessly to deliver you daily insights. It’ll keep track of your sleep phases and give you a sleep score each night, which is mirrored by most systems nowadays.
It’s the accuracy that gets Withings over the line – it tracks sleep really effectively and lets you know when you’ve not had a good night’s sleep, so that you can try to rectify it. The fact that it’s just under your bed working its magic without you worrying about switching it on or forgetting to do so is a great bonus.

Beddit 3.5 Sleep Monitor
View offer on Apple UK|Apple US
Beddit’s sleep tracking is so good that it got Apple to buy it out a few years ago, signalling that sleep tracking is a big business nowadays. Like Withings Sleep, it’s a flat tracker for your bed, although it goes above your mattress, under the sheets. The Apple link-up makes it a great companion if you have iOS devices or an Apple Watch.
It’s a little harder to get your hands on, though, and is quite a lot more expensive – plus having it over your mattress means that sensitive sleepers may not feel it helps them relax. Still, it tracks a great range of data and shows it to you clearly.
S+ by ResMed
squirrel_widget_183292
Our final non-wearable monitor comes from ResMed, and is a completely non-contact tracker. It sits on your bedside and records light, noise and temperature readings that let it know how you’re sleeping. It’ll check on how your night’s sleep was, and give you tips on how to improve it through the paired smartphone app.
It’s a nice system, and being completely separate means it really won’t impact your comfort at all. The drawback is that if you share a bed it can get confused fairly easily, and it is very sensitive to where you place it to get good results, meaning that if you knock if off its spot you might find yourself untracked.
Fitbit Versa 2
squirrel_widget_166746
If you’re thinking less of a standalone tracker, and more along the lines of a fitness tracker that can also monitor your sleep, the obvious name is Fitbit. The tracking giant is getting bought by Google, and has real pedigree when it comes to fitness data.
We like the Versa 2 especially, a lightweight smartwatch with some great features like Amazon’s Alexa on board, but also the gamut of great fitness tracking including sleep tracking that is impressively accurate. Plus, with solid week-long battery life, you don’t have to worry that wearing it overnight will destroy your ability to track your sleep.

Apple Watch Series 6
squirrel_widget_2670421
Apple took a little while to get there, but it’s finally added sleep tracking to its stellar smartwatch lineup. The catch here is a decent one, though – the watch’s battery life means that you’ll need to find time to charge during the day, if you want it to last a night’s tracking.
Still, the data you get is solid, and its wakeup alarms are nice and subtle on your wrist. If you’re already an Apple afficionado, using its Watch to track your sleep could be a low-frills way to get into tracking.

Withings Steel HR Sport
squirrel_widget_146284
Our final pick, though, sees us returning to Withings, where we started. It also makes a number of really nice smartwatch hybrids that are minimal when it comes to displays but have loads of tracking on board. You’ll get an analogue watch face, but in the case of the Steel HR Sport a tiny display lets you see key info or select a tracking type manually.
It’ll let you surreptitiously keep track of your wellbeing, and its sleep tracking is also present and correct as a result of heart rate sensing on board. It’s not as accurate as the dedicated sleep system, but the fact that you can wear it overnight and forget about it, while still getting data back, makes it valuable.

The Pixel 4 disappointed many fans. Google wants to make amends for that with the Pixel 5 – and in large parts it is doing it. TechStage has the review of the Google Pixel 5.
If you want pure Android, you love pixel phones. Because the smartphones come with an unchanged operating system. Just like Google imagines the perfect smartphone UI. The first two generations received rave reviews from both critics and buyers. With the Pixel 3, the negative voices became louder, the arguments of which could hardly be overheard with the Pixel 4 (test report) even by the biggest Pixel fans: too expensive, too small a battery, useless radar gimmicks and no wide-angle lens. Google at least partially weakened these points of criticism with the Pixel 3a (vs Pixel 4) and the Pixel 4a (review). These models were not only better received by the testers, they also sold better. Probably one reason why Google is changing its strategy with the Pixel 5 and foregoing high-end hardware in favor of the price. The review of the Google Pixel 5 reveals why this realignment works.
Appearance and processing For the first time, the Google Pixel 5 comes in only one size. With its dimensions of 145 × 70 × 8 millimeters and a weight of only 151 grams it is very handy and light. Google coats the aluminum frame with a matt, fingerprint-repellent plastic. We have it in the color Sorta Sage, a kind of turquoise green, alternatively there is the smartphone in black.
The Pixel 5 feels good. However, the feel does not come close to the silky soft feel of the Pixel 4. The smartphone with IP 68 protected against penetrating water and is sufficiently rigid, but creaks easily when twisted.
Google Pixel 5 ( 12 Pictures) Google Pixel 5
We like that the camera unit only has a k protrudes from the case by a few millimeters. Lying on your back, it only wobbles minimally. Also nice: the display bezels are narrow and run around the display at the same distance. All buttons gather on the right side and have an excellent pressure point. Google does not have a jack plug connection on the Pixel 5, headphones are not included.
Google hides the speaker on the top behind the display. That’s enough to make a phone call, you understand the other person clearly. However, in combination with the main loudspeaker radiating downwards, it only conveys a very subtle stereo effect. So far, the audio quality has been a strength of the Pixel Phones. The Pixel 5 is an exception, its sound quality is a weak point.
Has a classic fingerprint scanner on the back Benefits. In the Pixel 4, a radar eye ensures a very large notch and a comparatively secure unlocking via the biometric data of the face. Google does not do this with the Pixel 5. There is also no option to unlock the face via the front camera. Instead, Google is again using a fingerprint sensor in the middle of the back of the phone. Some will find this a step backwards. But this solution has advantages. There is still no fingerprint scanner behind glass that works anywhere near as quickly and reliably as a good physical scanner – and the one in the Pixel 5 is very good. Furthermore, thanks to the lack of radar, there is no annoying large notch, just a small punch-hole notch on the left side. Also, facial recognition methods often fail when a face mask is involved. Lastly, a physical fingerprint sensor is significantly cheaper than the other two solutions just mentioned.
Display The OLED display is 6 inches tall and protected by Gorilla Glass 6. That works compared to high-end phones like the Samsung S 20 Ultra (test report) with its 6.9-inch screen, downright tiny, but has the advantage that the Pixel 5 is not only less bulky in your pocket. Users with large hands can also reach the upper, opposite corner with one-handed operation with the thumb.
The display bezels are narrow and the same on each side. The display starts with 2340 × 1080 Pixels (432 PPI), has an aspect ratio of 19, 5: 9, supports HDR 10 + and offers a frame rate from 90 Hertz. The resulting image quality is very good. The maximum screen brightness is also very good, and content can be read without any problems in direct sunlight. It only achieves the maximum screen brightness in automatic mode and for a short time to prevent the OLED panel from burning in. Google cancels the optional adjustment of the color temperature based on the ambient light of the predecessor.
The display dispenses with gimmicks such as a curved display edge. As a result, armored glass panes hold better or protect the display edge. In addition, there is less attack surface on the display, which means that it should tend to withstand falls better.
Processor Instead of a high-end processor, Google relies on the upper mid-range Snapdragon SoC 765G, which is already used in the Oneplus Nord (test report). Advantage: In contrast to the top model Snapdragon 865 / 865 + integrates the 765 G the 5G module he needs no external 5G modem. This saves space, electricity costs and is cheaper. With regard to the benchmark value, the pixel 5 levels off somewhere between the pixel 3 and the pixel 4. On paper, even the difference to the mid-range smartphone Google Pixel 4a (test report) is just under 30 Percentage speed advantage is not very big.
In practice, renouncing high-end does not have a negative impact. Whether switching between apps, typing on the virtual keyboard or opening the camera: the Pixel 5 does all tasks quickly and comfortably. This is due to the work memory that has grown to 8 GB, but also to the pure, unmodified Android. The additional functions often introduced by other manufacturers are often at the expense of performance on their devices.
The Pixel 5 has a slot for a nano-SIM and integrates an E-SIM. There are with 128 GByte only one memory configuration. That is more than the predecessor. Nevertheless, we miss an option with more memory and / or the possibility of using micro SD cards for memory expansion.
Camera The camera is traditionally a strength of the Pixel line. The Pixel 5 remains true to this tradition. As so often, the hardware sounds unimpressive. It comes with the Sony IMX 363 With 12 Megapixels and a pixel size of 1.4 μm for the main camera, the same sensor is used that already provided very good photos with the Pixel 2. This is combined with an f / 1.7 aperture with 76 – degree field of view, a two-phase autofocus and an optical image stabilization.
Google Pixel 5 Pictures (15 Pictures) Main camera
The recordings of the main camera are convincing gene. As is typical for pixels, they offer somewhat oversaturated colors and a very high dynamic range. Especially in dramatic lighting conditions such as a bright sky with a lot of dark shadows on the ground, it shows its strengths in connection with HDR. The image quality is comparable to that of the Pixel 5; we don’t see any great progress. This also applies to the night mode, which is still looking for its own kind. There are a few improvements: the Pixel 5 automatically switches to night mode when the light conditions are right, unlike its predecessor. In addition, users can now combine night mode with portrait mode.
Speaking of portrait mode: Google still doesn’t need an additional sensor to achieve fantastic results. Unlike many other smartphones, the distance does not have to be at least 1.5 meters. New: Thanks to clever AI, you can influence the exposure of photographed faces afterwards.
The predecessor recognized faces in the live view in order to focus on them and adjust the exposure accordingly . The Pixel 5 can no longer do that. The reason for this is Google’s waiver of the in-house Pixel Neural Core. In practice we hardly missed him, the Snapdragon 765 G does a good job even without him. However, it is noticeable that the calculation of HDR images takes a little longer.
The camera hardly protrudes from the housing. What we are missing, however, is an additional telecamera. With the Pixel 4, many complained that Google, instead of using a wide-angle lens, uses a telecamera. After all, you can always cut into an image section, but not generate additional image information that can only be captured by a wide-angle camera. Google responded to the criticism and now installed a wide-angle camera instead. It’s good. It would have been even better if Google integrated an additional telephoto and wide-angle camera.
The wide-angle camera uses a 16 – Megapixel sensor with 1.0 μm pixel size, an aperture of f / 2.2 and a viewing angle of 98 Degree. Where the viewing angle could be wider, the image quality plays a major role. Nevertheless, the sensor is overall a little less bright than that of the main camera.
The front camera with fixed focus has an 8 megapixel sensor, an f / 2.0 aperture, a pixel size of 1, 12 μm and a viewing angle of 83 Degree. Your recordings are good, but not better than the Pixel 4.
Anyone who likes to record videos with their smartphone will be happy to hear that Google is finally taking them seriously. For the first time, the Pixel 5 allows 4K recordings with 60 frames per second too. There is also an Audi zoom, which is intended to limit what is heard in the video to the area filmed. A directional eavesdropping device is still a long way off.
In video mode, with regard to video stabilization, the user can switch to Locked in addition to Standard in order to fix individual objects at a greater distance. There is also an active mode for increased video stabilization and a cinema effect mode to display pans more smoothly. This works surprisingly well in the test. Also a time-lapse and a slow-motion function with 240 FPS at 1080 p is on board.
Overall, the camera app looks much tidier and easier to understand than its predecessor. The camera is better than the Pixel 4, but the differences are small. In addition, one can assume that the Pixel 4 will also receive many of the functions introduced with the Pixel 5 via software updates. To really set itself apart, the Pixel 5 lacks a third component with the telecamera, which is currently standard even in the lower middle class.
Software The Google Pixel 5 comes directly with the brand new Android 11. Here we show which smartphones the Android – 10 – update received. As with all Pixel phones, Google promises that it will receive three major version jumps and regular security updates. That’s good, but still as good as Apple has been doing with its iPhones for many years.
Google Pixel 5 screenshots (25 Pictures) Screenshot Google Pixel 5
Android runs on older Pixel phones 11 for some time, the new features are therefore already known. However, there are still some exclusive features that are reserved for the Pixel 5 – and for the most part only work in the US or in English. This includes “Hold for me”, which takes over waiting in waiting loops. It is now also possible to display an automatic subtitle independently of the app, which is calculated locally on the smartphone without an internet connection. But only in English. This also applies to the recorder, which transcribes sound recordings directly. This transcription can also be edited. If you delete certain sections, for example, the corresponding part in the sound recording is automatically deleted.
Google promises to add more languages such as German “soon”. But one shouldn’t give too much to this promise. After all, the company made similar promises with the Pixel 4 a year ago. Little has changed since then.

YouTube Music launched yesterday on the Apple Watch, arriving before an official Wear OS version and only further illustrating Google’s ongoing issues with its competing wearable platform. The app — available to YouTube Music Premium and YouTube Premium subscribers — mirrors all the same features it launched with on iOS, but now in compact watchOS form. Users can stream, control playback, and even cast music from their wrist, complete with a nice complication for Apple Watch watchfaces.
Landing on the Apple Watch first shows Google’s commitment to growing YouTube Music’s audience. Apple still controls half the smartwatch market, so showing up is ultimately in Google’s favor. But skipping Wear OS at launch underlines how hobbled Google’s platform has been from the start. A small install base and slow development of processors from partner Qualcomm has led to Wear OS lagging behind competitors Apple and Samsung for years.
The release of Qualcomm’s newer chips, the Snapdragon Wear 4100 and 4100 Plus, aims to solve the speed issues that hurt past Wear OS devices. Paired with a Wear OS update this fall that focuses on streamlined interface elements, there’s hope Google’s partners can develop devices better suited to compete with Apple’s market dominance. Google has also reportedly been trying for quite some time to get its own internal smartwatch hardware off the ground, after a failed attempt back in 2016.
That could be where Fitbit, which Google acquired last year, comes in. Fitbit’s team makes an excellent addition to Google’s own, but acquiring the former’s trove
Samsung has announced that its new fitness tracker, the Galaxy Fit 2, and its new Trio wireless charger are now available for purchase. The company previously announced both products during its Life Unstoppable virtual event in September.
The Galaxy Fit 2 is the successor to the Galaxy Fit band released last year. The updated version includes a larger display and improved battery life. Samsung says the new model can last up to three weeks on a single charge, depending on your settings. The Galaxy Fit 2 is $59 and is available in black and red.

The Wireless Charger Trio is a charging pad that costs $89 and allows you to simultaneously provide power to three electronic devices — a smartwatch, earbuds, and phone, or a smartwatch and two phones. It’s a successor to the Wireless Charger Duo, which could previously charge only two devices at once. The Wireless Charger Trio’s design is a pad instead of a stand and pad like its predecessor.
The Trio wireless charging pad can also charge iPhones (iPhone X or newer), but its right pad only supports charging for Samsung Galaxy smartwatches. It’s unclear whether the Trio supports charging for AirPods with a wireless charging case, but it’s likely considering its predecessor can charge both the AirPods and iPhone.

Samsung also announced that it’s adding two additional color options (“mystic red” and “aura blue”) to its wireless bean-shaped earbuds, the Galaxy Buds Live. When compared to other models, including the cheaper Galaxy Buds Plus, my colleagues Chris Welch and Becca Farsace said that the Galaxy Buds Live stand out due to their unconventional design, lengthy battery life, and powerful sound.
The red color is available now on Samsung’s website and Amazon. Samsung says the blue model will be sold exclusively at Best Buy starting tomorrow, October 17th, but it appears that a similar blue color option is available now at Amazon.

Speaker design can often be a little uninspiring – there are some broad trends toward fabric finishes and speakers that try to blend into the background, all looking pretty similar.
This range of gorgeous speakers from Transparent, though, is a glaring exception, with a striking see-through design that’s sure to start conversations. The prices are pretty sky-high for what you’re getting, but if you know someone who’d love this aesthetic it could be the perfect gift.

If you’re looking at a Garmin device, it’s likely that you’re interested in something from the Forerunner or Vivo ranges, as these are the main devices that cover most sports and fitness applications. We’re not covering some of the more unique devices like Swim, Epix or Descent.
Garmin Forerunner ranges from a simple running watch up to a serious athlete’s training tool, so there’s plenty of variety to choose from – and plenty of price difference. The important thing is to choose a watch that does everything you need it to.
Garmin Fenix 6
UK Prime Day deal: Get the Fenix 6 for £356
The Garmin Fenix 6 offers the top Garmin experience, but also the most expensive. It comes in a number of forms – the 6, 6S (smaller), 6 Pro (with Wifi, music and mapping) and the 6X which is everything, but in a larger size. There are Sapphire versions too, as well as solar charging models. Our hot pick is the Fenix 6 Pro for the best blend of features and value for money. It has a bigger display than the Fenix 5 Plus and longer battery life.
The Fenix 6 offers 14 day battery life, 10ATM waterproofing, GPS, heart rate, altitude, barometer and temperature sensors, all connecting to your smartphone. It offers stellar sports tracking performance from daily steps up to multi-day event; it offers customisation, easy change strap and compatibility with the wider Garmin system.
All the data is analysed with advice giving on training performance and recovery through to daily stress and sleep efficiency. Mobile payments are also supported.
Garmin Fenix 6 Pro review: Sublime sports watch, great smartwatch
Garmin Fenix 5 Plus
US Prime Day deal: Get the Fenix 5 Plus for $349
The Fenix 5 Plus added to the excellent Fenix 5, piling in more features. From wider GPS standard support to topographical maps, the biggest changes are support for Garmin Pay and music, meaning that the 5 Plus is more accomplished as a standalone watch than the older Fenix 5 – and close to the new Garmin Fenix 6. The 5 Plus also comes in 5, 5S and 5X versions for different sizes.
The Fenix 5 Plus battery isn’t quite as good as the Fenix 5 – but it’s a complete experience for those looking for a premium outdoors and sports watch. It basically offers everything that the top Forerunner models do, but packaged up in a slightly more robust bundle.
Garmin Fenix 5 Plus review: The champion smart sports watch is better than ever
Garmin Fenix 5
Launched in 2018, the Fenix 5 comprehensively updated the Fenix 3, but was soon updated by the Fenix 5 Plus models, which offer more overall. That means the Fenix 5 misses out on some of the latest features – support for Garmin Pay and music via Bluetooth headphones, but it still offers great sports tracking and performance.
If you’re looking for a quality watch to track your sports, the Fenix 5 still rivals the Garmin Forerunner 935 in terms of what it offers – and the enhanced looks might make it better suited to everyday wear.
Garmin Fenix 5 review: Smart sports watches don’t come better than this
Garmin Forerunner 945
The Garmin Forerunner 945 is the latest top-tier watch from Garmin that takes everything that the Forerunner 935 offers and fills in the gaps. Not only does it offer a full range of sports tracking functions, but it adds Garmin Pay to the list, as well as support for offline music.
That means you can connect your headphones via Bluetooth and listen to your favourite songs from services like Spotify and Deezer. That sees a small bump in the price but it also adds full colour offline mapping and emergency call functions to alert people if you have a problem on your ride or run.
That’s on top of support for a wide range of sports, compatibility with devices from across the Garmin range and monitoring for a wide range of metrics.
Garmin Forerunner 945 review: The ultimate watch for runners
Garmin Forerunner 935
The flagship Forerunner device of 2017, the Forerunner 935 replaced the 925XT as the top multisport watch that Garmin offered, with much the same feature set as the Fenix 5, but in a lighter and slightly more affordable package – with a more sporty design.
It has now been replaced by the Forerunner 945 which adds music and payments to an already comprehensive list of sports tracking functions. While the 935 is a great device, the 945 is the better smart watch, offering a little more flexibility. Still, if it’s only sports you’re interested in, then look for a deal on the Forerunner 935, or consider the newer 745.
Garmin Forerunner 935 review: The sports watch of champions
Garmin Forerunner 745
The Garmin Forerunner 745 replaces the old 735XT, a multi-sport watch pitched at those serious about triathlon or other multisport events. It’s loaded with many of the same metrics and features as the flagship 945, covering sports like running, swimming and cycling in great detail.
It’s a more compact package than the 945 and it’s a little cheaper, with the biggest difference being the overall battery life that’s on offer. But, if you want all the features to support your triathlon training or your running ambitions, then the Forerunner 745 is a great choice.
Garmin Forerunner 735XT
US Prime Day deal: Get the Forerunner 735XT for $169.99
A step down from the Garmin Forerunner 935, the 735XT was Garmin’s first watch with wrist-based heart rate (but it’s still fully compatible with other external sensors) and what a watch it is. Like the 935 and 945, it is designed for the multisport athlete with full triathlon and duathlon support – including the bespoke training you might be doing for those sports – as well as regular running, cycling, swimming and a whole lot more.
The biggest difference to the top models is that the user interface isn’t as logical and slick and the display isn’t as graphically rich. While the information it returns is mostly the same, it doesn’t look quite as good while it’s doing it and the battery life isn’t quite as long.
Advanced features and greater affordability make the 735XT a hot choice – but it’s a little older than many of the watches on this list.
Garmin Forerunner 735XT review: Putting in the multisport miles
Garmin Forerunner 645 Music
US Prime Day deal: Get the Forerunner 645 Music for $219.99
The Forerunner 645 Music allows Garmin users to carry offline music with them, so there’s no need to lug around your phone. You can simply connect the watch to Bluetooth headphones and off you go with storage for 500 songs on your wrist.
Elsewhere the Forerunner 645 Music also offers Garmin Pay, and it was the first Forerunner to do so, but you’ll spot the resemblance between this model and the Garmin Vivoactive 3. In that sense, the Forerunner 645 leans towards being more of a smartwatch than some other Forerunner devices. That means it doesn’t have the endurance to compete with the likes of the Forerunner 935, but it does offer compatibility with iPhone and Android notifications and plenty of customisation.
Full support for sports comes naturally to the Forerunner 645 Music along with 5ATM waterproofing, wrist-based heart rate, GPS, altimeter and motion sensors. Note that there’s a version of this watch without music support – the Forerunner 645 – which is slightly cheaper.
Garmin Forerunner 645 Music review: On the beat?
Garmin Forerunner 245 Music
A newer model from 2019, the Garmin Forerunner 245 comes either as a straight update to the 235 below, or as a Music edition, which adds support for Bluetooth headphones and offline music from services like Spotify or Deezer. We’re taken by the Music version as it offers the biggest step up.
Elsewhere, the Forerunner 245 comes in at a strong price, ideal for those who want a full range of sports and performance tracking, as well as smartwatch notifications and lifestyle tracking like sleep.
It also adds a safety function so you can alert someone if you have a problem – if you have your phone with you, while also updating the design over the Forerunner 235 slightly.
Garmin Forerunner 245 Music review: Hitting all the right notes
Garmin Forerunner 235
The Garmin Forerunner 235 might sound a huge step down from the 735XT numerically, but the design is very close to the 735XT and part of the same generation. It’s now been replaced by the 245, but it’s still a functional device.
While it still offers heart rate, GPS and other sensors, there’s no digital compass, and fewer navigation features. It will let you navigate back to the starting point of your run, but doesn’t offer point-to-point navigation.
The Forerunner 235 also loses out on many of the advanced running dynamics that the 735XT and 935 offer, although if you’re a fitness runner, that probably won’t worry you too much.
Likewise, although the 235 supports some external devices, that support isn’t as wide as those higher tier models on the Garmin family. It does, however, connect to your phone via Garmin Connect and give you notifications, so for many, this will be all the running watch they ever need.
Garmin Forerunner 45
UK Prime Day deal: Get the Forerunner 45 for £109.99
A serious refresh to the entry-level Forerunner, it moves from a square design to a round face, so it’s more conventional than the Forerunner 35 that it replaces. The Forerunner 45 is an ideal watch for those looking to get tracking for their training runs, smartphone notifications and things like sleep – without paying over the odds for data they don’t need.
It has support for a range of sports, includes an emergency alert function if connected to your phone and 7 days of battery life.
Garmin Forerunner 45 review: A great budget running watch
Garmin Forerunner 35
UK Prime Day deal: Get the Forerunner 35 for £79
Offering a radically different design to other Forerunner models, the 35 takes this family of fitness devices into a smaller, squarer, package, so it might appeal to a wider range of runners than the other devices we’ve covered so far which are a little chunky.
Essential tracking like GPS and wrist-based heart rate join smartphone connectivity, meaning you can sync your data to Garmin Connect and view your stats. But the Forerunner 35 doesn’t have a huge memory for runs, only storing the most recent activity data.
Running metrics are well covered, but on this model you don’t get the sort of advanced dynamics or navigation that some of the other Forerunners offer. That reduction in features means it’s simpler, and for many that might be a welcome difference.
The design is very similar to the Forerunner 30, although that older model has a shorter battery life and offers slightly fewer features.
Garmin Forerunner 35 review: An affordable, effective running watch
Garmin Vivoactive 4
US Prime Day deal: Get the Vivoactive 4 for $199.99
With the Vivoactive 4 there’s a choice of sizes – 42 or 45mm – but only one version of this fitness tracker. With the Vivoactive 3 there was a version with music and one without, Garmin is moving to simplify things and bundling in that support from the off, while updating the offering over the previous model.
The Vivoactive offers all Garmin’s sports tracking with heart rate, GPS and lots more. It’s similar to both the Garmin Venu (below) and the Forerunner 645 Music (above) in terms of functionality, but it’s a little more smartwatch when it comes to the design. It also supports Garmin Pay and unlike some devices has a touchscreen, as well as buttons. The display can’t match the quality of the Venu, but that’s why it’s cheaper.
Garmin Vivoactive 4 review: Great tracking without the huge price tag
Garmin Vivoactive 3 and Vivoactive 3 Music
UK Prime Day deal: Get the Vivoactive 3 for £122.99
A new watch-like design moves the Vivoactive 3 into new territory. The previous version, the Garmin Vivoactive HR, was rather square, but with a quality round design, the Vivoactive 3 is more attractive. The 3 offers Garmin Pay to let you pay with your watch, without needing your phone.
Otherwise, Vivoactive 3 is more like a smartwatch than the Forerunner devices, offering touchscreen rather than button-only control. That might make it a little more lifestyle, but GPS, wrist-based heart rate and more sensors – like altitude and a compass – increase the information you’ll collect.
Garmin Vivoactive 3 review: Serious multi-sport tracking at a sensible price point
Garmin Venu
We’ve slotted the Venu in under the Vivoactive 4 because these two devices are very close in what they offer. They have the same functions and a very close design, but the Venu is equipped with an AMOLED display, slightly smaller, but with a higher resolution. That pitches it up against the likes of the Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2.
At its heart it’s still a Garmin however, so apart from having a shorter battery life, it will offer you all the goodness of the Garmin ecosystem, including music, Garmin Pay and full sports tracking with GPS, heart rate and loads more data, as well as connecting to your phone to serve you notifications.
Garmin Venu review: Garmin’s first true smartwatch
Garmin Venu Sq
Garmin’s second Venu device is the Venu Sq. Garmin classes it as a smart watch and with a squared design, low price point and feature list that sticks to the essentials. It offers all of Garmin’s lifestyle features, like automatic activity detection, 24/7 heart rate tracking, steps and sleep tracking.
It also features a GPS, which not all lower-priced devices do, so it’s a capable sports device, able to track your sports training and performance. Paired with 6 days of realistic battery life and offering smartphone notifications, it’s a good Garmin for those wanting something that is a little smaller and subtle. There’s a Music Edition if you want offline music, but it costs a little more.
Garmin Venu Sq review: Sporting smarts in a compact watch
Garmin Legacy Hero and Saga
We’ve added these Legacy devices under the Vivoactive 4 and the Venu, because they follow the same trend of evolving the same core hardware into something a little more special. The Hero watches are fashioned after Captain Marvel and Captain America, while the Saga offer Rey or Darth Vadar themed devices. They also get themed apps to carry the Avengers or Star Wars fun a little further.
Underneath all these devices are essentially the same, with the same fitness and lifestyle tracking functions, but with a style lick to make them a little different. In reality, they’re as powerful as sports devices as the rest of the range.
Garmin Instinct
US Prime Day deal: Get the Instinct for $149.99
UK Prime Day deal: Get the Instinct for £169.99
The Garmin Instinct is another evolution of the same core idea, but it’s designed to be slightly more rugged. While the Fenix normally takes the rugged position, the Instinct meets Mil-Std 810G protection, proofed to 100m and also being shock resistant – but this watch also offers 14 days of use.
It’s a little chunkier than some other Garmin devices, but at its heart it will give you the same GPS, heart rate and activity tracking, but it loses out on some smartwatch features – there’s no Garmin Pay, no music support.
Garmin Vivomove
The Vivomove is a slightly different approach from Garmin, stepping away from sports devices into something more classically styled. This is a hybrid watch family, giving you a regular watch face with a hidden display and heart rate tracker.
It started with the Vivomove HR, but there’s now a Vivomove Luxe and Vivomove Style – all are similar in approach, but differ slightly in design. If you’re not really looking for a device that will accompany you on runs but just track your daily activity, then the Vivomove family is likely to be have watch for you.
Despite the subdued looks, it will still track a full range of activity data, reporting back on how active you’ve been and syncing with Garmin Connect on your phone and giving you notifications.
Garmin Vivomove HR preview: Hybrid smartwatch with hidden touchscreen and heart rate monitoring
Garmin Vivosport
The Garmin Vivosport is a replacement for the Vivosmart HR+, because this is a fitness band that not only has a heart rate tracker, but also has a built-in GPS.
The Vivosport will keep track of your daily activities like steps and sleep, automatically detecting what you’re doing using Move IQ, while also offering support for more deliberate activities, like running and cycling.
You’ll get your data in Garmin Connect thanks to a smartphone connection, so although this isn’t a big device, it will gather plenty of data for you to examine at the end of the day.
Garmin Vivosmart 4
The Vivosmart 4 is the current fitness band from Garmin, slotting in alongside the Vivosport and offering a wrist-based PulseOx sensor for blood oxygen saturation and a heart rate monitor – but no GPS.
It offers a small touchscreen display to provide feedback, so you can check your steps, sleep or notifications, but it will also offer a range of sports tracking too. It also offers Garmin’s Body Battery feature, comparing your rest with your activity so you know when it’s time to stop. It’s smart, but slim.
Garmin Vivosmart HR+
The Vivosmart HR+ has a rather unique feature set because it’s one of the few fitness bands that includes GPS – so it will give you as much data as some of the smaller sports watches – like the Forerunner 35. The problem it faces is that GPS reception isn’t great, and it has been replaced by the Vivosport.
Heart rate and GPS give you details about your running routes, while there’s support for other activities too. When it’s not tracking sports it will keep track of your steps and sleep.
The Vivosmart HR+ syncs with Garmin Connect on your phone to transfer data over, while also giving you some notifications, but offers little in the way of advanced features at Vivoactive and Forerunner offer.
Garmin Vivosmart HR+ review: A fully-packed fitness tracker
Garmin Vivofit 4
The Garmin Vivofit 4 was launched back in 2018. This is a simple band that will essentially do everything for you: you just wear it. The Vivofit 4 can automatically recognise the type of activity you’ve done once the data is synced to a connected smartphone using Garmin Connect.
The Vivofit 4 will let you keep track of essentials like your daily steps, activity and sleep, while also being protected against water, so you can wear it in the shower or swimming.
But the really selling point of the Vivofit 4 is that it has a 1 year battery life, so there’s no need to constantly charge it: you just wear it and get on with your life.
Garmin Vivofit Jr and Jr 2
Garmin retired the Vivofit as an adult band in favour of the Vivosmart (above), leaving the Vivofit Jr as a kids device. There are two versions of this fitness band for kids, and the big difference is the display.
The Vivofit Jr has a mono display while the Vivofit Jr 2 moves to colour and increases the resolution, so it looks better – while also adding a couple of additional challenge features.
The Vivofit Jr will track steps and sleep, while also giving move reminders, with the aim of hitting 60 minutes of activity a day. There are also chore and reminder features that the parent can control it and offer rewards.
The Vivofit Jr 2 also comes in a range of character-themed versions – including Disney, Marvel and Star Wars.
