I just want to say please don't stop reviewing Huawei watches, because there are only a few quality reviews about them because of the US ban. I bought the GT4 because of you and it's top quality. Also maybe you could start doing general reviews of watches with specs and overall feature, not only the scientific sports part, because you really are a good reviewer and you would be a top channel for this.

Thanks to your reviews I got a Pixel Watch 2 and couldn't be happier with it 😍 Your videos are really invaluable.

I've already had the watch for 2 weeks and I love it, but I'm even happier after watching this haha

This video helped my wife who runs marathons, half marathons & 5k's often decide on picking this over her current Amazfit GTS4. This looks to track here wayyyy better at an affordable level. I also realized in watching maybe 5-10 of your videos you must be in great cardio shape w/ all the cycling, biking, running to get these tests done hahaha. Great job on the videos.

Any chance you'll review the OnePlus Watch 2? Great video as usual Rob!

It's a little frustrating that Garmin's heart rate tracking is so unreliable, especially as they're centred as sports focused watches. Hopefully they can further tune their algorithms. Thanks for the review as always!

I have the Huawei Fit 2 and purchased the new 165. I use them at the same time and they are quite similar in terms of GPS. When I sleep the 165 is better for me since Huawei accumulates my naps with my sleep. With heart rate monitoring they generally have a difference of 2-3 beat, nothing significant. The garmin plataform is excellent as well as its amoled screen, the Huawei price es pretty good as well as its battery life.

I’m thinking on buying this watch tomorrow. What a timely upload.

I requested this last week only! Thanks Rob❤❤❤

you're the best, comment to get that algo going

waiting for the Galaxy fit 3 🙏

Please review the OnePlus watch 2 🙏🏼😀

0:55 you are absolutely right. If you sync the data to runalyze you can actually see what is hidden in the FIT file. As an example the Vivoactive 4 does not have Training effect or recovery time. But in runalyze both data is present. Garmin just chooses to hide it from the user to sell their more expensive watches...

I am honestly happy with what you're doing! Thank you so much and I hope you would continue doing these comprehensive reviews ❤

Hi, thanks to your many scientific reviews. I was wondering if you could (maybe in future) add the software version of the watches you were testing. Sometimes software updates can make things better or worse and it would be beneficial for comparison purposes. Thanks for your many great videos. Also I noticed that many devices have a bad GPS signal near the Ö1 Funkhaus. I wonder if that's got to do with the radio equipment in and on this building

Hey Rob! Please review the latest Huawei Band 9. You're the greatest in Smartwatch review on YT!

come on garmin - this is proper testing - give this man some watches! (firmware guy myself!), I have garmin head unit for the road bike but i can't believe a 265 cannot beat a fitbit charge 6!

I look for 3 things on a smartwatch: 1. Battery life of 10-14 days 2. Great sleep tracking (more than sports tracking) 3. Android (not an Apple user) It seems to me that my only option - to date - is something like the Garmin Venu 3 or the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro. I'm not looking to lock my own data behind a subscription (so no Oura ring, though I think it looks great). I want those things on a smartwatch form factor.

Please review Samsung Galaxy Fit 3.

No Sapphire glass = No purchase. Especially from a company that does not make spare parts readily available.

Thank you so much for doing these reviews! Although it would be amazing if you reviewed some Suunto watches as well 😊

This is gold. I appriciate you .

OnePlus watch 2 please

Picked up the FR165 a few days ago, first time smart watch/Garmin owner. Gotta say I'm impressed so far! watch looks great and feels light and comfortable. Did a gym session with it and there is a minor delay in picking up increases in HR from time to time, but does eventually seem to catch up just fine. Yet to take it for a run but loving the level of customization with the watch. Thank you for your video, helped me make a good choice!

This is next level attention to content. Good review, thanks!!!

Why do so many say how terrible the GPS is on the 165, when they never used it themselves in many comments on other KZfaq channels. Are they just going by word of mouth?

Can you make a rewiew about the galaxy fit 3? I bought the fit 3 two days ago, and im happy so far :)

Please review OnePlus watch 2

When is the galaxy Fit 3 review coming by ?

Terimakasih review nya bang Rob. Thankyou for the review, mr. Rob

thanks for the detailed review, however, there is a high contradiction here on the 3.5 rating. You've said that sleep and outdoor cycling being very important to you and that's why the score is less but your coros pace 3 review has 4 rating with similar to worse performance on outdoor cycling and sleep.

There are some who question the Polar 10 as being the gold standard for measuring variable heart rate as it’s not a three channel ecg device. It would be interesting to see a comparison of the results between the polar 10 and a three channel ecg device. You do wonder if any smart watch can actually measure heart rate with any accuracy (hence the variance in results even between watches with the same heart rate monitor) or if it’s really just a marketing ploy.

thanks a lot Rob...it's head scratching to see watch fit 2 which is way cheaper compete with more expensive ones

Imho you judge all these watches by primarily the heartrate accuracy (on your wrist). Display visibility, weight, wearing comfort, durability, software support and all that stuff that contributes to the all day user experience falls kind of short.

cool video! can you review the new galaxy fit 3?

Hi Rob! I've noticed that the Withings watches now have many more updated features, any chance you would test them in the near future? Especially Withings ScanWatch2 :)

Can you please review the new Galaxy Fit 3, please please please plzzz

Awesome reviews! When I see your data analysis, being a biologist myself, it satisfies me. I've literally watched each and every review. Would you review Instinct 2x sometime?

I wonder how much of the delays in HR monitoring for the watch are due to the watch being both the sensor and the processor? I was thinking that perhaps the Polar H10 strap only collects raw data and relies on a separate device, such as a computer, to process the data.

amazing video! Thank You!!!!

ThanksMuch for posting !

can you do the test with Forerunner 265? Love your video so much, thanks.

Hey would you be able to do a review on the ScanWatch 2. Thanks so much and btw your videos are awesome best in this category by far

So many of Garmin's features are centered around HRV. What is the HRV accuracy like? Would it be the same as HR accuracy? Also, thanks so much for the work you do!

Hello @TheQuantifiedScientist Can you please make a review on Forerunner 265 or 265s preferrably I saw your review of 965 and 165 and saw a good deviation between the two Wondering how 265s would perform as it is in my bucket list Thank you!

Can I expect a review of Suunto watches? Thank you for great review :D

Daar wordt je toch hartstikke gek van, Garmin is zo goed met hun gps (duh, dat is hun forte), maar hun algoritmen voor de Hf en sleeptracking blijft mediocre. Ik zou er wat voor over hebben dat ze net zo go3d presteerden als de Apple apparaten, maar die moet je dan weer om de dag opladen. Waardeloos natuurlijk. Ik blijf kijken of er eentje aankomt die in de buurt van Apple. Is het niets dat je bv een baan neemt bij Garmin of een ander merk? Ik snap dat je in de medische wetenschap zit, maar he5 is misschien leuk om mee erbij te doen? Groetjes!

вы меня удивили, потому что везде и всюду в каждом форуме, посвящённому фитнес-часам, есть люди, которые рекомендуют garmin как лучший выбор из всех для тренировок, некий эталон 🤭

Do you consider making a Ultrahuman ring review ?

Yes looks like a good watch. Can you recommend a fitness watch around 400$ max. I run and workout each thrice a week and once a month go hiking. Need something for a long time with good app support. Not so much inclined towards having music as i generally dont listen to music. Your suggestion will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the amazing reviews. Tbh I am now even more confused to pick up the right choice (honestly most smartwatches look useless after your review). Watches which are good in sports tracking are lacking in sleep or some other important area. Your review on Garmin venu 3 was an eye opener. I earlier thought that garmin watches are far superior but apple seems to be the best in every area ! As an Android user, only pixel 2 looks the best overall but it doesn't look good at all.

I think the most important thing is to have the best accurate heart rate sensor than gps because as far as i know sleep tracking , running and all of the other features are being measured by HR. 3rd important thing is the software because i like when i do fitness garmin recognise which move i make (like bench press or barbell squat) this is amazing. Or apple recognises if i do rowing . Even though i like garmin eco system or app the most because of apple measures the most hr accuracy so that sleep tracking im being have to use apple watch

Thanks for the videos Rob! Any chance you could see how the Withings ScanWatch 2 compares to their older models you reviewed?

Please do the galaxy fit 3

1:00 I'm also annoyed by these artificial restrictions, but only really because the high end watches are ridiculously clunky, and I definitely don't want to wear these day to day.

So strange that 165 and Fenix 7 pro get different HR performance. Even 265 in comparison. They are supposed to be the same HR sensor.

Please review Samsung Fit 3 😊

still the huawei watch fit 2 (exercise) and the fitbit inspire 3 (sleep) for me, total price circa £180, and of course that gives you a spare, and a wear one charge one setup hope rob quickly does a review of the watch fit 3, due out any day !

Great review. I was checking this and the FR165 but my main concern is the sleep. what can you recommend between Coros Pace 3 and Garmin FR165 in terms of Heart rate and Sleep monitoring? thanks

I bought this watch and was pleased to see an elevation data field option on the watch face, but after the watch updated, it disappeared. After contacting garmin they confirmed that they removed the feature to "differentiate it as a lower tier watch". Not a good look for garmin. Retuned the watch.

I am waiting for galaxy fit3 review

had this watch… love for everyday watch but ready for basic sensor. for me.. it more than enough .. dont like fancy sensor all in at one watch.. witch from App s7

So 165 and Fitbit Inspire 3 would be a good combo for running and sleeping

Are you going to review the forerunner 265? Very curious what that watch will say

When will you test the new Huawei Band 9?

I like my garmin 265 for the battery and running functions, but its dissapointing to see how inaccurate they all are!

'My top Garmin!' - gives 3.5 star lol

This is what I waiting for

Hi, why is Huawei GT3 Pro missing from the chart? I bought GT3Pro after watching your videos but right no I want to compare it with Coros Pace 3 and Garmin Forerunner 165.. Thank you

Review of Huawei Band 9?

Great video, having music also is a huge plus, will probably end up buying the watch. Are you planning on review the samsung fit 3? I have a watch 6 and I'm thinking in getting the fit 3 as an lighter alternative (mainly to sleep)

good timing of the vid lol, bought mine yesterday

I think there is clarification needed. There are so many watches underperforming, or fairing literary bad. The Forerunner 165 here also. Is there a possibility of this being related to some physical condition of your wrist or arm? To be clear: I do not doubt your methods, or such.

I really like your reviews and your repeatable test method but people should not forget its mostly 1 sample/proband, i.e. you. So what works well on you may not work well on others. I know you also mention that but people seem to forget when they say garmin is bad in HR. There are many users that dit hed AW for bad tracking and switched to Garmin. So Garmin users, please do not get upset because of these tests. Judge and compare how your watch works for you. This is not a one-size-fits-all kinda thing

Huawei band 9 vs Samsung fit 3 would be so good!! Even tho probably hard for you to get the huawei one

Could you please test mi band 8/pro for heart rate accuracy during running as well? I want a cheap but fairly accurate hr tracking. If it performs similar to garmin 165 would be interesting! And definitely a buy for me. Looking forward to your test 😅

Hi Rob. Any chance you could review the new Samsung Galaxy fit 3 tracker ? Thanks. Very good reviews by the way. I bought my Fitbit charge 5 after watching your videos and it exceeded my expectations until off course that infamous update.

Hallo Rob, can you review more Xiaomi or Redmi watches? There are a lot of new ones... Just bought Huawei Band 9 somehow looks the same as the predecessor but hoping it really does have an upgrade since I got my Band 8 damaged... Thank you for your reviews they're very helpful

Hi Rob @TheQuantifiedScientist I really like your reviews, well explained, well organized. as you said for the GPS you can't quantified precisely, i'd choose the huawei GT3 pro for the very good heart rate, but it's not so good GPS. Which one you tested, is better gps for middle prices? thanks Nicolas

I’m interested in smart rings, hope you’ll test the ultrahuman.

Pace 3 over this

Why is the heart rate measurement of Galaxy Watch 5 way better (see 6:30) than that of Galaxy Watch 5 Pro? Seems strange. EDIT: I actually watched a bit of your Galaxy Watch 5 Pro review and it also achieved >0.98 correlation coefficient for indoor cycling, the same as Galaxy Watch 5 so it seems like there is an error here.

Why can't/don't you compare the accuracy of calories burnes in these fitness trackers

Can you test a Garmin sleep stage with Theresa? Since we see that for her Apple Sleep Staging doesn't work well!

Nice video. Wondering are you using R or Python for your data analysis? Not that it matters. Statistician in the market for my first sports watch.

how is the glass screen durability? would you guys recommend a screen protector for this watch?

I am confused. At minute 8:38, you are comparing the different watches by running, but when you reviewed the Charge 6 was weighted heavily in running, and here it appears as 0.83 range ? O.O

Another smartwatch that can't track sleep properly. I'll stick with my Muse S, despite its weaknesses. Anyone know of a decebt affordable EEG sleep monitor?

Do you also do smart rings? It would be nice if you could review the Ultrahuman Ring Air some time in the future.

Can you use the Apple Watch on your ankle and get reliable data? I have a few, and it would be great to use one to capture lower body movement.

are you planning on reviewing the new fit 3 from Samsung? Im really Curious to know if it is as accurate as huawei fit bands

Hi Rob, can it work fully with Garmin HRM Pro+ ? I am concidering to buy the HRM, but not sure if it's worth it, will I use it fully with my FR165.

please review xiaomi watch S3

Rob, do you have any recommendations on watches for pool swimming? Thanks!

Would you recommend this for a non runner? I'm just looking for accurate cardio measurement like indoor biking as well as calorie counting. Thanks

thanks Rob! If you were to choose between 165, 965 and pace 3 what would it be?

Weird how much better the accuracy was in HR on your tests for the Galaxy Watch 5 vs the 6 and 5 pro. Must be a fluke - maybe needs some additional testing

Please test the Redmi Watch 4. The last Redmi tested was the Lite 2…… :(

Hi, love your videos! Do you have any recommendations for a smartwatch for cycling? Maybe interesting for a seperate video! I now own the pixel watch 2 for heart rate accuracy, but the screen is so tiny while cycling you really can't see the information properly😂
