Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 is my favorite. Everything a out this watch is fantastic from its looks and feel down to it’s functionality. Samsung did a really good job with this watch. If your on the fence about buying it go ahead and pick it up you won’t regret it.
Excellent tutorial with tremendously informative and effective content about Best Fitness Watches in 2020. Thanks for sharing this. I loved the whole presentation of this content from start to finish. Your entire review is fantastic AND EFFECTIVE. Great job! You are great.
O mike! Im so glad i have found this small channel, i just love you and your videos… tbh, you are way too underrated, i wish i could give you a shoutout, but i cant, sorry..
So what do you think? Is this the best fitness tracking band?
(Also sorry for the small blooper at minute 13. I made a last minute decision to show the testing before the app tour and that clip was not relocated!)
How many years does it last? Why does it get a gray screen with lines and then you can’t use any longer.
Excellent Video: love how you didn’t include any wear os watch. Because I agree they suck at everything (watch as well as fitness) and very boldly Apple Watch at no. 4. That’s the honesty viewer truly appreciates. Keep up the good work I have subscribed. Will watch out for more
did you actually check the accuracy of these things tho? TOP 5 PICKS
These Fitness watches are the newest I’ve seen, one of these would work very well for the work I do. I am very interested in one.
Hi if i want the most accurate heart sensor between this, galaxy active watch and versa which one can you recommend for me
The fitbit charge 3 is trash. I bought one a year & a half ago & user experience leaves a lot to be desired.
It worked fine for the first few months & basically became gradually more useless as time went on.
It doesn’t connect to my Samsung phone unless I turn the phone off & on. So if you want to check your sleep you need to reset your phone in the morning. I use a bunch of Bluetooth gadgets & this is the only one with this issue. Even if I reset before exerciseing it will struggle to stay connected to my phone through the duration of a run. Most of my runs are not tracked through GPS because of this or they’re tracked for the first 10 minutes & then fitbit makes up an impossible route to account for it’s estimated distance I traveled. On top of that, it sometimes just stops tracking a run partway through. This always seems to happen when I go for a personal best too, but sometimes it happens on a normal run.
Sleep tracking is inaccurate, it often says I’m asleep when I’m not.
Sometimes it just won’t turn on. I’ll push & hold the sensor & it’ll give me the normal haptic feedback but the screen won’t respond. Sometimes this can be fixed by putting it on charge (even though it still has plenty of charge left) other times you just have to wait for half hour or more for it to decide to work.
And now fitbit are trying to become a subscription based service, so if you want all the information fitbit are gathering on you, you need to give them money each month on top of the money you spend on their garbage products.
My Mum bought a charge 3 around the same time as me & has had some of the same issues, though admittedly not to the same extent as me. She really only uses it as a sleep tracker & wristwatch though.
What would you recommend this or the galaxy fit just as a fitness tracker when out running I would always have my phone on me thanks.
I am interested in knowing how good the Fitbit Charge 3 is with indoor and outdoor cycling
Isn’t this a bit too pricey, Mike? The Mi Band and the Honor band do most of the stuff with better display and controls (no native GPS) at 1/8th the price. Excellent review BTW!
@top5picks could you please do a comparative review of the Whoop 3.0 vs Fitbit versa 2.
Thank you

But how accurate are those heart monitors? Are some more accurate than others?
I am an entrepreneur that is selling a fitness tracker watch I worked on for months, that monitors your heart rate, steps, and is waterproof, for only $19! You can check it out here:) https://onenecessity.com/products/smart™-bracelet-fitness-tracker-watch?variant=31609042141227
This review actually makes it easier for me to chose which watch to get.Thank you.
Awesome video the way it reviews all best 5 models of fitness watches is really very useful. The technical details alongside with price comparison helped me to decide the best one for my need.
Might actually get one these, was easy to understand all the different features and which is best for my needs.
Bottom line? I’m 68, time is short. I REQUIRE A WRIST HEART RATE WATCH, no chest band, if possible. Suggestions? Anyone been to Thunder Mountain in Utah?
My Fitbit Charge 3 finally broke after 18 months. Got it as a gift. I couldn’t be happier. HR monitor hardly worked and Sleep tracker was just as bad. You can barely read the display. When tapped it stays lit for three seconds, you have to hit it two/three times to see your progress., it’s just awful, SYAT AWAY FROM THE CHARGE 3!
I got the Versa 2 today (still unopened). Thinking about returning it for the Charge 4. Anyone know if the step counting on the Charge 4 is as inaccurate as it is on the Versa 2?
What about blood pressure monitoring? I’ve seen a few companies show this off as an optical sensor without the need for a pressurised cuff link around the wrist. Also there is research to suggest we may be able to do glucose monitoring without piercing the skin. Then there is body temperature monitoring, sweat salt level monitoring, UV monitoring, and even radiation monitoring. I think weave only just begun in the wearable market.
Google play music should start to work soon on these devices once google buys fitbit
I still whether have a Apple Watch or galaxy watch it never fails
What about Huawei watch gt 1 and 2 series? Also good fitness solutions with great battery.
I’m interested in the Bluetooth health watch, its got pretty good reviews
Sadly Fitbit is now owned by mr. g…. and having said that, I think mr g is sharing the info they collect with not so friendly countries and anyone else that will give them enough money..
Locked elbows with random jazzhands help people understand what you are saying XD yeah sure
that you pick is not the fitbit versa 2 as it has the word fitbit and only the elite and versa 1 have it. also it only as one button and the one you showed had 1 one one side and 2 on the other
Hey Mike, just saw this. Thanks for posting! I have a Fitbit Charge 3 and am very happy with it except for one thing when outside in sunlight I can’t see my display only when cloudy or inside. Is the Fitbit 4 any brighter in outside sunlight? Thanks…. Oh, by the way I just subbed your channel.
I feel there are better options (Samsung Galaxy Fit).
Greetings from Spain
Most watches have pretty good heart rate sensors, but fail when you start running etc.
Will you please make a video on best sound bars available online in India? I am in great need.
Buy miband 4, you dont have to break the bank and it pretty much does everything you want to have in a fitness tracker. But its for someone who wants to track their workouts activities and sleep. It is not as ‘proactive’ fitness motivator like apple watch. But i will take it for 1/14th of the cost of the apple watch.
So you are saying you only get SPo2 tracking if your Fitbit Premium only?
Carmine Vivoactive3 is the best, otherwise good research done.
Not trying to be rude, but you gotta improve your pronunciation, it’s too soft, sometimes you “swallow” a sound or two.
What about if I need one without screen why is It so hard to find one!?!!!!? I don’t want a mini watch in my wrist I already have my watch I want a wristband that tells me my steps and sleep.
Can you read the display in full sun? I have a Fitbit Alta and cannot read the display at all outdoors when walking. Can you recommend a fitness tracker or smart watch that can be easily read outdoors?
Is it possible to display the heart rate in a larger size font (so it is easily readable while bicycling)?
You deserve way more attention your reviews are so detailed and professional. Keep it up
Thank you, I’ve just ordered a Fitbit Charge4 for my husbands birthday.
How accurate is the step counting? Is it count more steps while sitting like other fitbits?
Honor watch magic 2?? Not on the list even though it has 2 WEEK battery life pretty much the same features as the others and more such as 2GB of storage set aside for mp3 music files which sounds pretty good on my sony Bluetooth headphones and you don’t need to carry your phone…and it has a huge and beautiful bright screen And it cost £132 on amazon… Five stars all year long… And i didn’t need to be bribed for an honest review..
my favorite FITNESS FREAK.everyone should try this. I think it is the most underrated Fitness app

I really enjoyed how much detail you used to describe each fitness tracking watch.
Nice details, great product shots, your audio was once again, I don’t know, quasi outstanding at times, and your knowledge about fitness gadgets is top notch. If you are ever is Utah and want to go to for a trail run with our local running clubs let me know ♂️♂️♂️
The youtube comments on the Engadget videos are always such a mess, I wonder why they even enable them. Jeez people, you are the absolute worst. Good solid video though.
Between this guy and the fat cnet guy tech channels love having fat people review fitness tech
Keyword: -> Fitness
nice video; already liked and subbed.
What’s your opinion on Huawei Watch GT 2?
a watch is good for telling the time and things, good to be able to set alarm and stopwatch, a smartwatch maybe add remote control for some functions for the phone and basic notifications, more is not a big deal. and the watch is good looking, comfortable on the wrist, not costing so much that I will have to worry about it. And not have to worry about it’s battery life. Some functions on the Apple Watch makes me don’t want to own it. The health stuff is okay, your phone can remind you for most things. And most people should learn to monitor on their own senses about their health, don’t waste one of the most powerful “compuster system” we are born with.
Why NO Blood Pressure Monitor Watches Around Surely BP IS A Major Factor of Fitness?
The anxiety had watching you walk along the edge of the water fountain…
He basically looks like walking potato, while talking about the effect of watches on fitness. The irony in that
If you’re in the military you know that military spec is code for cheap shit. Never in the history of ever has anyone in the military said to theirself, “Wow we’ve got the most top of the line, state of art or cutting edge equipment.” It’s more like, “Grab the fix-it stick and bring the gear back up.”
That a nice watch, I would not mind having that and great video by the way, Mike
Possible to list the models you went through in the description?
Love the review anyway. Thanks!
I currently have the alta HR and one thing i dislike about it physically is how “tall” (the height from the sensor to the screen) it is. how “tall” is the charge 4? i couldn’t get a good gauge from the shots in your video.
Fitbit versa and versa lire is the best watches hands down imo
Why did they not add storage for music? Could’ve been perfect. Now I have to bring my phone anyway if I want to listen to music.
Thank you for not adding music in the background and thank you for this great review its better than all that I’ve seen so far and yes I liked and subscribe❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I settle for Fitbit Versa 2 is very elegant and looks good quality. for something it is among the best (Y)
It isn’t true that the apple watch has battery life as among its strengths.
Nice Tracker but the only issue is the Battery life, I have been using Amazfit Bip for the last 2 years the Battery life is amazing last 25 -30 days. I can’t find a replacement with the same battery life and built in GPS.
Thanks for sharing such a good review about Best Fitness Watches. its really helpful one..
I like the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 because it has great performance and looks so good in any occasion.
Your whole video is… wrong or you should change the title because there Is a difference between…( fitness trackers)… and…( smart watches).
Each is a different product.
I was originally going to buy this but 2 hours later on YouTube i had purchased the garmin vivoactive 4 for twice the price
FYI: Fitness watches don’t make you fit. Put down the fork, and go to the gym.
haha:D are you kidding… No. The best fitness watches: Garmin Fenix 5 or 6. There is nothing else.
I can’t believe almost no tech outlets covered the new Garmin Vivomove hybrid watches. They seriously just upped the game for all smartwatches…it costs $500 for the luxe version tho
Hi dude, can I talk with you, in private, about your videos?
Fitter, happier
More productive
Comfortable
Not drinking too much
Regular exercise at the gym, three days a week
Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries
At ease
Eating well, no more microwave dinners and saturated fats
A patient, better driver
A safer car, baby smiling in back seat
Sleeping well, no bad dreams
No paranoia
Careful to all animals, never washing spiders down the plughole
Keep in contact with old friends, enjoy a drink now and then
Will frequently check credit at moral bank, hole in wall
Favours for favours, fond but not in love
Charity standing orders on sundays, ring-road supermarket
No killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants
Car wash, also on sundays
No longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows, nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate
Nothing so childish
At a better pace, slower and more calculated
No chance of escape
Now self-employed
Concerned, but powerless
An empowered and informed member of societ, pragmatism not idealism
Will not cry in public
Less chance of illness
Tires that grip in the wet, shot of baby strapped in backseat
A good memory
Still cries at a good film
Still kisses with saliva
No longer empty and frantic
Like a cat
Tied to a stick
That’s driven into
Frozen winter shit, the ability to laugh at weakness
Calm, fitter, healthier and more productive
A pig in a cage on antibiotics
Which fitness tracking would be better Fitbit versa 2 or fitbit charge 4
My personal choice is Apple Watch Series 5 due to its brand and I liked its design and looks.I suggest everyone Apple Watch Series 5.
Can the watch determine if am fapping? Am guessing that they should incorporate this motion movement in the watch algorithm cause that’s the only exercise I do and it gave me a health heart rate and remove my anxiety
I love my Fitbit for its sleep tracking. An amazing system. Let me know when someone beats it system
For me, the Fitbit Versa 2 had a nice balance between Smart and Fitness functionalities. The Battery Life is Superb, the wide array of clock faces (You can even use pictures you’ve taken on your phone to use as your Watch Background, amazing!), a nice and mostly consistent tracking of Sleep, HR, and Steps/Calories, along with Voice Activated functionality at a $200 price is just a bargain! So to go from my 4 year old Fitbit Blaze to this Versa 2 is by far an amazing upgrade!
Did you guys take Withings in consideration as well in these reviews? I find the Fitbit Premium Pay for your content method a very offputting fact. They already charge one of the highest prices for their devices, and now some of the data has been blocked off behind a premium function in the app. Like heartrate stats during the night and the use of the actuall work-out app Fitbit Coach. You have to pay a monthly fee for stuff you can actually find plenty for free on the internet with a little research. Where as Withings new Steel HR and newer models, offer the same comfort of use have a better battery life and measurements are just as accurate. I myself have been using a Fitbit for years now but am seriously considering switching to the Samsung or Withings if Fitbit continues with these rediculous “pay for your stats” methods in their app. Also the Fitbit App is actually one if THE FEW fitness apps that does not work with Google Fit. You need an extra app on your phone to get your stats send from your fitness app into your google fit account. Rediculous if you ask me in this modern age and for that price range you’d expect it to play nice with the 2 most used health apps in the net namely Google Fit and Apple Health. I honestly find it surprising how many reviews state that the Charge 3 is “the best” overal fitness tracker and I sincerely disagree as of 2020 there are better options than fitbit in general. Fitbit is only this popular because it is one of the largest and most known fitness app company around it does not make them the best though.
Everyone, the Samsung Gear S3 is trash. It does not work please dont buy. Samsung is such horseshit now
Can u see how fast ur going and how long ur going for on then watch during or after the run.
Or do u have to do it in the app?
I want a cheap tracker that has gps, ❤️ rate monitor, Strava and works with a oppo phone…….
Wordfitness
Thx so much for helping me decide on what I need.
Video thumbnail showed a charge HR and a surge. Both of which I have and both are still kicking years after purchase. No issues except for battery which is a simple thing to replace. Get them second hand off eBay and you’ll be laughing. Batteries and new straps can be purchased off AliExpress.
When I go to settings on my Fitbit charge 4 it has no options for sleep mode or heart zone on and off switch. Why is that?
I personally use a whoop strap and find it great for staying on top of fitness and health.
Your watch looked to be a bit high, and too tight? About to shoot up there buddy?
did your fitbit turn on with spotify downloaded? I cannot access it on my charge 4:( they said to wait a couple days for it to update.
I’m definitely diggin’ the sleek look of samsung Galaxy Watch Active2.
Got a charge 4 for my birthday to replace my charge 2. It’s definitely a big improvement across the board and I’m enjoying it so far. I agree that it’s a little pricey for a tracker but fitbit has tried to deliver some bang for your buck! I would recommend the charge 4 if you can live with the price.
Brilliant detailed but not too long review. Great Job. I feel informed
Your video seems just recent on Nov, but unfortunately you have missed the big deal here it’s Huawei GT2 watch has a lot more better than some watches mentioned in your video.
I use the Huawei GT2 for a month now and I just charged once a week even it’s still has 30-40% battery life and I used for daily sports activities. Also the price is a lot more cheaper than many of your watches here it’s cost almost 300$.
The Fitbit Versa 2 has great battery life. Also, like its design
My husband purchased me a Fitbit Charge 4 “Advance Fitness Tracker+ GPS” yesterday. I have an IPhone and downloaded the Fitbit app to my phone. But I can’t seem to find the sleep mode option on my Fitbit charge 4.. Does it matter if my Fitbit charge 4 is sync to the Fitbit app on a iPhone vs. Android phone?
So it’s about fitness trackers until the apple watch is included as a smartwatch? I think the bias is showing, the others on the list are strictly fitness trackers.
5:06 Lets all volunteer for needles to send your current health to insurance companies to be denied before you even apply
Very good these watches fitnes good movie.
i use with fitbit charge 4 https://amzn.to/3jLE3D9
nicely done Mike! This is the fitness tracker I’m looking out for. Going to place my order on Amazon, we’ll see how long it takes to get here haha.
Demonstration of video is very well. it is the valuable and relevant video and reliable for all aspect. We can easily find Fitness Watches like Amazfit Bip, Apple Watch Series 5, Fitbit Versa 2, Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 and Garmin Vívoactive 3. Really, I appreciate this video.
The fitbit is terrible at realtime heart rate tracking. The smoothing and averaging it uses is way too aggressive.
These are not the 5 best fitness trackers, there is also like the Huawei Band 4 Pro, the Honor Band 5 en the 5i and a lot of other brands that make very good trackers.
Like every tracker the Samsung and other trackers are unsafe when they are used with a Health app, Even the Samsung Health app sends more data to Samsung then you would like, yes even your contacts (by by privacy ), lol, if you want to keep your data/privacy safe, don’t use the tracker with a health or other app.
I bought a 1980’s Casio Calculator watch to add up all the hidden fees my charges me
What is more likely to crack stop working, the xiaomi mi band, or Fitbit inspire HR
Nice
Hope some company wise up and make one that can be charged with Type C wire, so we dont have to carry a weird Crab charger to charge the watch, wireless charging is nice, but still need a simple direct charging
I had charge3 for 1 year. This charge4 isn’t a big difference from 3 versions they’ve just added GPS and pay option. 1 rubber band broken. I’ve replaced it to a longer one from the box (it was included, probably for thicker wrists) and after a week it starts to endlessly auto pressing the main button… So now I just couldn’t use it and it discharges battery really fast. I’ve cleaned it, took off all bands, but nothing substantially changed( Also, the warranty period is out. Now I’m thinking about another tracker, definitely not Fitbit. The screen is damaged a bit, some horizontal stripes have appeared. Also, it “counts” steps even when I just waiving my hands. So, based on my experience I definitely wouldn’t recommend buying anything from Fitbit it’s just expensive, not so durable, and even can’t properly perform its main task count steps properly.
Can you add a sport like spinning in place of another exercise, such as swimming?
Fitbit. Talk about over estimating your steps by THOUSANDS. Standing still. Look down, oh wow, I just got another 250 steps yay I had 19,000 steps today. WRONG. Do a set of 25 burpees, my heart is pounding. Check my heartrate annndddd flatline. Again. Wear chest strap and get a HR of 160+ on my wahoo phone app while my fitbit would tell me 128. I’m done. I got a garmin vivoactive 4s and love it. I have a very hard time getting in my 10,000 steps because its ACCURATE. My heart rate on my garmin matches very closely to my HR chest strap. Why does this not make the top 5? Crazy.
One thing I always wanted for a smartwatch/wearables to have is additional security by becoming a 3rd if not 4th authentication tool. As an example, what if when you login to your Windows, iOS/Mac OS, or Android device, you’ll also receive a notification on your wearable to either allow the login to push through, input another set of pins or code, or put it a certain distance of the device to proceed. Isn’t that a useful feature?
Can anyone tells me if this tracker shows number of laps completed during swimming? Any time I make over 30 laps I loose count, so it would be helpful to quickly glance on a tracker to see how many laps I have completed.
I have a Fitbit Charge 3… and after I got a new phone, it stopped working!! I could not for the life of me get the watch to sync to my app. So now I’m stuck with a watch that can’t even tell time at least! I have been emailing Fitbit customer support for a few weeks now… and their solution is for me to buy another model! Yeah right! Complete waste of money! #ByeFelicia
I more or less agree that there probably won’t be that much more innovation but one could still see it very differently. Simple step tracking has been around for decades and for the longest time there was just that. The last few years have been pretty accelerated in that regard, with highly usable pulse, much better activity and sleep tracking as well as ECG. So in a way we are in the golden time right now.
The sensors are the same type, but they are made by different manufacturers and therefore the accuracy of each sensor is different. I think the strongest company will be the one the will succeed of creating a good eco system.
Garmin is THE best choice! My Forerunner 235 WHR (bought in Dec 2016 for 180€) is still running strong! I always wanted to upgrade to Garmin Forerunner 945 but it is too pricey. May go with the Fenix 6X next year as its getting more affordable.
Regarding the sleep tracking I went to bed around 0350hrs in the morning and the Charge 4 spotted it right away. I binge watched Netflix for over two hours laying in bed and the tracker didn’t count it as sleep… very surprising… that was my first night wearing it as well and I didn’t enable the feature, adjust setting, etc… all auto.
If there is a future of wearables, it’s in health and fitness only. There should be more sensors added to see blood glucose proper blood pressure monitoring high lows not just pulse and others. That’s it, they need to stop wasting time with gimmicks. I’m still waiting for Apple Watch to enable ecg in my region so I can get it for my parents.
I have a question, what is dynamic, built in, phone gps and GLONASS on gps settings?
I’m planning on buying another fitness tracker since my charge 3 started to malfunction, but I’m conflicted on whether or not to get the Versa 2 or the Samsung active 1 (because I can’t afford active 2).
I, among others I am sure, don’t want my smart watch to be like a toxic partner! I don’t want it to tell me when or how to drink or eat or walk or anything. My smartwatch use case is probably using it in my daily tasks instead of carrying a 6 inches smart phone.

Interested in the YAMAY watch due to its BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR FEATURE!
Does the Fitbit Charge 4 track lap swimming? How does the tracking work? Is it accurate?
I like the Apple watch series 5. Its the best in category. Thanks

Tbh its a pro in my books if there isn’t a ton of excercise to choose from, all I really need is cardio, strenght, mixed and simple like that.
amazing 5 fitness watches I really want to buy it all!! think you for sharing this tuto bro
Great steps thanksfor sharing my private. thank your welcome
Unbiased great contributions to inform anyone trying to purchase a smartwatch kudos for your unbiased opinions love that they went Hi-Lo with all their prices all inclusive to fit every budget
the fact that you even recommended apple watch in a best of fitness watches video is an absolute joke and laughable.
Thank god I watched this video before making any purchase. I will be able to make a better decision. I have now an improved overall idea.
I bought a Fitbit charge 3 and I got black pixel lines on the screen within a few days
Thanks for the detailed review! I just bought the Charge 4 Special Edition (which comes with an extra band for an additional $20). It’s $169.00
Happy birthday Vanessa sara mata Torres Samsung Galaxy watch steps everything my cousin vanessa
The charge 4 in Canada was $170for sale and versa 2 was $200 same with ionic at $200. I chose versa 2 just for the Alexa and always on display. I don’t regret buying versa 2.
content creator reviews top 5 fitness watches products. With every inch of detail. Thanks for the content creator.
Fitbit Versa 2 is my favorite and I will definitely upgrade to Garmin Vívoactive 3
Hi Mikeinterested in purchasing Fitbit charge 3 or 4 for 11yr old daughters bday… Does the 4 have GPS tracking without a phone? Thanks
I’m a casual runner (twice or three times a week) and I have a mi band 4 since august. I like what it does, but not quite always sure about the data I get from it. Would you say the Fitbit charge 4 would be a great upgrade? I don’t care about the GPS since I always have my phone.
Thanks for the great review!
Obviously you know absolutely nothing about fitness watches while including ape watch and samsung active. Terrible performance as a fitness trackers. You missed suunto, many garmin watches and many more. Prepare yourself better for next opinion like review bad review
Purchased the Charge 3 about 15 months and the LED screen stopped working a couple of months after the 1 yr manufacturer warranty expired. Only used the watch the 4-5 times a week during my 90 minute workouts. I recently resumed using the watch again after having misplaced the charger 6 months ago. I was offered 25% discount towards the purchase of a new one. What sense does it make to support a company with unreliable product and unsatisfactory customer support policies. Thought I’d warm as many potential consumers as possible. No thanks Fitbit to any of your product even as a gift. There more reliable and inexpensive options in the marketplace.
I loved my charge 3, I think this would be a great upgrade:D
Why didn’t the Apple Watch make it to your top choices? It’s a powerful smart watch with heart and fitness features.
You didn’t mention that the proprietary Samsung health app to go with your device will only run on Samsung phones! And you have to have a newer phone, it wont run on even an old Samsung phone! I found this out shortly after purchasing a Gearfit 3. Big Bummer.
Warning for anyone in the UK looking to buy this watch there’s only 7 or so UK banks that support fitbit pay, none of them are major banks, so if you’re looking to use fitbit pay then you’re out of luck. Fitbit haven’t managed to add any major banks to fitbit pay in years
She clearly hasn’t actually used any of these watches and is just reading a script.
Well I bought the Fitbit charge 3 about 1 month.agonand the screen went dead…called customer service we tried all the trouble shooting and they decided to send me a replacement..got it in a week and that too in same day it arrived refused to turn on it will only turn on on the charging cradle..called them again and now awaiting my second replacement from them..I hope this one will work because I enjoyed it for the few weeks it actually worked…I am a. But worried about length of life…it was not cheap and I really wanted this to be my health investment tracker…
Wait how do you know it last 7 days when its been released like 2 days ago? sounds fishy.
Garmin Vívoactive 3 is best by its features and functions with genuine price
hello Sister!! why never mentioned Huawei GT2…. eh! Cheap and good ok!
Always look forward to your tech reviews, very insightful.
I like my Fitbit Inspire HR which is a bang for the buck, quite an upgrade for me from Alta HR.
You could mention your Fitbit username for all the “fitbitters” out here:)
They added gps so you can leave the phone at home but you can’t save music on the Fitbit so you still need to carry the phone for a run.. and the gps is not very accurate. Don’t see the point, almost everyone is running with music
these are cool gadgets
but a no frills, no screen one to put on the ankle and forget would be awesome.
With just real time HR, and statistical HR data 1,12,24 hr. And then just let the phone app do the data crunching.
Let’s say you’re doing a treadmill exercise. You know, the kind where you occasionally change the speed and incline. Do you really need a video of someone telling you “it’s time to go faster?” Nah. Aaptiv packs great audio–only classes for all those workouts that just don’t make sense for video. Smart design, great music, and a huge library of classes make even the most hardcore exercises enjoyable.

It was like listening to Top Gear but for watches… brilliant!
Trying to decide between this and the new Apple Watch. Any opinions?
I would also suggest Reflex Smart Bands on Fastrack.in. It comes in various designs and is very affordable.
It also has additional features than most of the watches mentioned here.
What is the likely price difference between Charge 4 and Versa 3? Versa 2 successor with GPS could be really good. I wonder if it arrives this fall.
No amazefits no ticwatches no mi bands who picked the devices for this video and apart from withings which was a hybrid, where are affordable (read cheap budget friendly) options? They are in my comment

You’re not gonna get fit with a fitness watch. You dont need watch to tell you if you’re not active enough. If you have a massive and run out of breath after a flight of stairs you’re not active enough and your nutrition is trash.
i present you the iplug! simply insert into your rectum and through our smartphone app it will measure everything you need to stay satisfied!
Why can’t apple combine data from watch and iPhone for a more accurate fitness tracking?!
The great explanation of video Best Fitness Watches in 2020.Thanks for sharing
Who are the people saying that $150 is expensive for this Fitbit
I remember people where gloom and do about wearables and smart watches as far as 3 years ago now I have noticed that almost everyone on the bus and train have smart watches on there wrist.
Will you please make a video on best sound bars available online in India? I am in great need.
I am done with Fitbit after 3 years (Charge 2 and Charge 3). So clunky and my last tracker (Charge 3) has become unresponsive a lot of times until it finally gave out.
Good Insight into where all this tech is potentially heading.
Loved my Charge 2…not so much Charge 3….8 months after purchase…screen corrupted…6 months later replacement screen corrupted…notice this is 14 months..2 months out of the warranty for original purchase. Replacement didn’t extend warranty! So I have a $150 tracker with a corrupted screen and all they would offer is a 25% discount except it is not good on the Charge 4!
great video! just to confirm. i can go running without my phone and still get all the data you shared?
Please change the title to smart and not fitness. She mentioned budget… Budget is Huawei Honor 5 fitness with almost accurate readings and gps using the to the phone.
It’s the second review I saw that mentioned that the HR is not calculated correctly. I ordered it but this is kinda annoying as this is such an important measure..
Spotify doesn’t work. I’m unable to install the app on charge4. I also can’t install some of the watch faces. Waste of time and money. Im very disappointed.
Helped me a lot to buy fitness watches suitable fit Thank you
When are we going to see a Fitbit and Google smartwatch? Nice review as always, Mike. Keep killing the game.
Happy birthday vanessa sara mata Torres Fitbit smart watch box
EXCUSE ME BUT since when clever algorithms aren’t great engineering wizardry???
I cant install the spoticy connect and control app on my charge 4. Ive tried everything… what firmware do you have on your charge 4?
Hey.. Great test vid! How does it compare to the samsung gear fit 2 pro? Aside from the poor battery life and the app, it has had all these skills 2y ago. Better screen, better Spotify interaction with Playlist download so no phone needed including music and you can install more apps.. Oh yeah, atm only costs 99 bucks. I’m wearing both atm when I work out for testing but I’m just some dude. Maybe you can give your experienced insight? I can’t decide. Prefer the fitbit app although ssung have improved on that lately and battery life but I prefer the user interface, screen and legibility of the ssung. I can’t test the sensers because I have no high end reference like your suunto. Would love your opinion! Thx.. Keep up the cool vids!
Have been thinking to get one of these, but considering Fitbit is being sold to Google, I’m not sure what will happen to this tracker and besides, it can’t really sync the details to Google Fit, right?
I just got the charge 4. And the versa 2 its cool. I got mine in Burgundy or maroon. Im not sure. But its cool. I. Have the charge 3 also so 3 fitbits. Im thinking of getting one for my dad. The fitbit charge 4 or the versa 2 let me know also should i get a Samsung smart watch or am i nuts let me know in the comments. I will have 4 smart watches thats stupid right. So im not getting another one untill next year.
I’ve seen reviews suggesting this is wildly inaccurate, particularly when dealing with heart rate
Could I use one of the watches just to monitor my heartrate throughout the day? I have an afib issue and my cardiologist wants me to do this.
Im done with FITBIT after 3 years of use (Charge 2 and Charge 3). stay away! So clunky.
5.24Actually brain activities are measured by EEG, not ECG:)
Just took my Charge 3 back for a refund. It lasted 4 months. Total rubbish. Never again fitbit!
Fitbit Charge 3 won’t last you longer than a year. I’ve purchased Fitbit over and over again, and they never last long. The app doesn’t sync well with your watch so don’t again. And, customer service doesn’t actually give a shit about you.
Not a single Wear Os device? Okay. The new Fossil Gen 5 is nice, and so is the new Ticwatch Pro
Thanks for this video was waiting for it 😉 sounds pretty good, Im looking at it as an alternative to my Galaxy Watch 46mm when i just want to wear something casual and still get my steps, heart rate, notifications etc. I wish that by now at number 4 it had some colour on the face/screen, when you compare it to the fitness tracker you did a video on yesterday for $25!!!, some colour would have been awesome but all in all sound like a cool little device 😉 Great Video Cheers from Down Under Australia, stay safe 😉
I don’t understand what GPS on this does. I suppose it just tells how far you have moved (outside only), maybe your speed, and not where you are. Maybe shows stuff based on interface with cellphone app. Android….how can it sense breathing? (I seem to have sleep apnea)
Can you connect bluetooth earbuds to it? or does i have to play from your phone or outloud on the watch?
funny… talking about fitness wearables… can’t you find a fitness guy to talk about it?
