Hi Chigz, great review as usual. We've discussed the pros of battery life on watches in other videos, but what I found frustrating with this second tier range of watches (ie not Samsung/Google) is the software and lack of integration with either Google Fit or Samsung Health. I cannot recall which watch did sync with GFit (think it was the Xiaomi band 7/8) but if you can add this to your testing, that would be awesome. However, the single most frustrating part of all of this level of watches (except maybe Amazfit) was the inaccuracy of either HR or Sleep or both. Whilst Samsungs are not quite as accurate as the Google fit devices, they're form and/or interface is so much better.. I reference the Quantified Scientist now when choosing smart bands/watches. There really is little point in these devices if the data cannot be trusted.

Hi, can you connect it to strava?

@user-je3gn2jj2w Ай бұрын

I don't think the Oximeter is accurate. A normal SPO2 is 95 percent to 100 percent. If anything lower, the person on the video who reviewed the watch will not be sustained in for the whole review.

@Case_ 15 күн бұрын

Oxymeters on these wrist worn devices are a joke and not accurate at all. Never rely on them and basically pretend they're not even there. Same with blood pressure readings on devices that have that feature.

I wish you would have done a quick pedometer/accelerometer & GPS accuracy test for walking/running. Still a very good review though

Hum, really does its name justice. Seems like a step up from the 8 in size, batterylife and added GPS. But I'm very happy with my 8 and prefer its smaller footprint whilst more or less doing the same job.

Thanks for sharing. 8 does indeed do the same job.
