Thanks for watching! Let me know what’s on your wrist! ⌚️

[heikg]

I love how expensive some of these are and they still think it's okay to charge you a monthly fee to unlock a feature that you already should have

[spiceyfrenchtoast]

I don't know about anyone else, but personally I prefer basic features and like 1.5 week battery life vs tons of features and a 1 or 2 day battery. We already have a phone, why would you want to constantly worry about a dead smart watch if you can just do a lot of the more advanced features on your phone already.

Why is every damn company is moving towards a subscription? If we buy a device we should be able to use all of its features, otherwise we don't own it. After the right to repair, should we start another campaign called the right to own?

What I really want is a small, sleek fitness tracker that integrates with iOS Health app, but has limited notification funcionality, or maybe even no screen. With battery life measured in weeks, not hours. I have a samsung galaxy fit 2, and its a shame that it doesnt integrates very well with iOS. I don't want a big, heavy smartwatch with a big screen that drains battery in a day, and is constantly wanting my atention with notifications

If you have an iPhone, it's an Apple watch. If you have an Android device and want fitness tracking, it's Fitbit. If you have an Android device and don't care about fitness tracking, it's an Galaxy Watch 4. There, saved you some time.

Nice video!
I like the Mi band approach because you can update one every year and not be too concerned if you lose it or damage it.
I made the mistake of upgrading to a nicer Huawei watch fit and now I'm always conscious of what I'm doing so I don't damage it.
Now please tell us which device have you worn the most this year?

Samsung Galaxy watch 4 is the best to me. Love the rotating bezel and style

[chefnyc]

Which one is the best tracker for people who don’t want their vitals to be sold to advertisers?

Very in-depth review. Thank you for taking the time to provide your audience with enough information to make a decision.

I wish the Withings Steel HR would be included on these lists. It has most of the features these others have (step/fitness tracking, heart rate, sleep, push notifications, etc) but with actual mechanical watch arms and a battery capacity of almost a month!

[jcarcobaltss]

Good review. I know there are now tons of smart watch options. I'm surprised there were no mention of Amazfit products.

[prashalangovender]

In my experience, the best wearable under $200 is hands-down Fitbit

[barbararocca]

I'm desperatly looking for a smartwatch that can measure Blood pressure but cannot find One that Is reviewed!

[beardly]

The Coros Pace 2 is a great watch for $200. Main target audience are runners, but works well as a smart watch and tracking other activities.

[YoRAHeem]

Only bc it’s Lexy! She does great fitness tech reviews.

[karastover]

I have the Garmin Fenix 6s and not impressed 😐 I'm thinking about going back too fitbit and I love the solid black with vibrant colors. I'm looking into Versa 3 or Venu 2 🤔

[UltimateGirlsverse]

Hi Lexis, Huawei smartwatches are amazing too, amazing battery life and durability, you should include it!

[goran]

What about Amazfit, Zeblaze, Huawei ???

[Kat-efjd]

Really thinking about getting garmin venu sq for my birthday next month. But im not workout person you think it's worth it anyways? It's my first smart watch
