Garmin Venu 3 for $350: There's thing wrong pinch Garmin's pricier premium hybrid fittingness tracker-sports watch. However, its standout characteristic is that you tin return calls from your wrist, and erstwhile I tried it pinch my spouse, he said it sounded for illustration I was calling from nan bottommost of a barrel. There are different Garmins pinch akin functionality that are better-priced.

Suunto Run for $249: I emotion really ray and slim this watch is (36 grams), particularly successful nan now sold-out Lime. It has a agleam AMOLED screen, 2 weeks of artillery life, and meticulous dual-frequency satellites. But Suunto's package is clunky and difficult to navigate erstwhile compared to Garmin's, Coros's, aliases Apple's. Offline maps are besides not supported.

Amazfit Bip 6 for $80: Amazfit's trackers are improving truthful quickly! Like nan Active 2, nan Bip 6 is simply a gorgeous small watch, pinch a brilliant, big, and responsive AMOLED screen, good complete a week of artillery life, and 140 athletics modes. I still find nan locator and nan Zepp app to occasionally beryllium laughably inaccurate, but it's inexpensive and comfortable and useful well. However, for only $20 more, I'd conscionable get nan Active 2 instead.

Xiaomi Smart Band 9 for $59: I was shocked by really overmuch I liked this affordable small fittingness band. The 1,200-nit show is clear and bright, and nan touchscreen is responsive. The aluminum lawsuit feels sturdy, and it tracks your steps and bosom complaint pinch reasonable accuracy. However, there's conscionable nary comparing nan personification acquisition of nan Mi Fitness app versus Fitbit's, particularly astatine this price. (Yet.)

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra for $650: Your eyes person not deceived you. Samsung has made a Galaxy Watch Ultra (7/10, WIRED Review) that is simply a nonstop rip-off of nan Apple Watch Ultra, but for Samsung telephone owners. It moreover has nan aforesaid information orangish band, nan Quick fastener (which Apple calls an Action button), and nan Double Pinch characteristic (which Apple calls Double Tap). Apple's watch is better, pinch much sports, a amended interface, and amended broad algorithms for illustration Training Load and Vitals. However, what nan Galaxy Watch Ultra does, it does well, and Samsung has nan resources to drawback up quickly. It has a sapphire solid look that's rated to 10 ATM, an IP68 rating, and nan expertise to withstand elevations arsenic precocious arsenic 9,000 meters and temperatures arsenic precocious arsenic 130 degrees. It besides has backcountry navigation features, dual-band GPS, a compass, and breadcrumb navigation, which Samsung calls Track Back and which Apple calls Backtrack (this is getting silly). The artillery life is still conscionable an capable 2 days and change, though.

Buyer Beware

Evie Movano Ring for $269: Evie precocious announced an upgraded type of nan Movano, pinch a medical-journal-trained AI chatbot and improved slumber and bosom complaint tracking. I tested it and unluckily did not find capable connected connection to rescind my erstwhile sentiment (4/10, WIRED Review). The smart ringing market has exploded since then, and galore caller rings person explicitly women-centered features. It simply doesn't connection capable features to beryllium an charismatic merchandise correct now.

Amazfit T-Rex 3 for $280, Amazfit Helio for $170, and Amazfit Balance for $150: I person tried all nan older watches crossed Amazfit's lineup, and my workfellow Simon Hill has tried nan company's smart ring. While I person thing to kick astir regarding nan build quality—the Balance is simply a dupe for nan Samsung Galaxy Watch if you don't look excessively hard—both Hill and I recovered functionality somewhat constricted and were exasperated astatine nan subscription upselling. The Active 2 is nan only Amazfit watch I for illustration correct now.
