Smartwatches are part of a somewhat fractured ecosystem these days, with offerings from Android, Apple, and even Samsung’s software known as Tizen. There are several more operating systems competing for space in this crowded market. However, one thing is for sure, whichever watch and its associated OS you eventually decide on, being able to play…
Huami owned Amazfit has been a popular option in recent years, now Huami has launched two new watches under the sub-brand Zepp E. The Zepp E brand appears to a more style-focused brand that will exist side by side with Amazfit. The two watches are essentially the same, but one is circular and the other…
Today, Garmin launched its latest watch, the Venu SQ. Unlike the Forerunner 745, this is a more affordable mainstream consumer-focussed watch. Functionality-wise it is just a cut-down Venu, so there is not that much to compare really. Garmin Venu SQ Overview A new square 1.3” 240 x 240 pixel LCD display Corning Gorilla Glass touchscreen…
With both Huawei and Honor sharing the same watch platform, they have recently launched two watches which are almost the same, but completely different. The Honor Watch GS Pro leans into the fitness features adopting an outdoorsy aesthetic for fans of watches like the Casio G-Shock. The Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro refreshes the design…
Today Garmin has finally released an update to their ageing Forerunner 735t. It represents a significant upgrade from the previous generation, bringing it line with the other recent launches from the brand. However, when you compare it to the other watches in the range, it may not necessarily be the best choice. Price Comparison For…
[Update] Added new information from the press release Last week, Honor introduced their latest Honor Watch GS Pro, a rugged outdoors focussed sports watch for urban adventurers. Today, Huawei announced their latest watch, based on the same underlying hardware and software but with a more style-focused appearance. As critical as I may sometimes seem with…
Last week, Honor launched their new range of wearables, including the Honor Watch ES where I highlighted the similarities between the Huawei Watch Fit. Price and Availability Huawei has now confirmed the launch of the new Huawei Watch Fit with it being available from the 16th of September for £119.99, though it looks like Amazon…
I quite like the way Withings have just gone their own direction when it comes to wearables. Most smart/fitness watch brands sync as Fitbit and Honor/Huawei have gone down the road of as much functionality as possible without committing to a full OS like WearOS. These watches are good, but they tend to end up…
Today Honor announced their stylish new fitness fashion watch the Honor Watch ES. This a more affordable fashion orientated alternative to the just launched Honor Watch GS Pro. Huawei has already revealed the Huawei Watch Fit a few days ago, but have not announced international availability. As usual from the two brands, both devices are…
Today at IFA, Honor launched their latest fitness-oriented watch, the Honor Watch GS Pro. The focus on this watch is (from their marketing material) urban adventurers. Specifically, young adults who lead active lives and enjoy outdoor activities. The Huawei/Honor ecosystem of wearables is a little different than other brands; they do their own thing, and…
I am a bit late to the game on this announcement, but it is something that caught my eye. I haven’t covered Coros much in the past, but they have just launched a new multi-sport / running watch called the Pace 2. There are a few notable features that make it different from other sports…
Yesterday Fitbit announced their latest 2 smartwatches, finally embracing built-in GPS, making them both viable alternatives as sports watches compared to many brands. Fitbit Sense Features Both watches look good, but I think the Versa 3 may struggle due to competing options. The Fitbit Sense is the star of the show, while it may be…
