Smartwatches

Used as the reference for sleep data, and its readings matched his experience.

A smartwatch that depends on a server that appears to be down, so it barely works.

Tough and feature-packed, but he dislikes how closely it copies the Apple Watch Ultra, especially the circular screen on a squarer body.

A minor update with a new chip, AI replies and a sleep apnea feature, seemingly kept modest to make room for the Ultra.

A slick, clean-looking watch with an appropriately restrained design.

A simple but well-made, premium-feeling watch that cleverly ties the game into the real world.

Won over a lifelong smartwatch sceptic with its fitness tracking and convenience, though it is plain looking and locks him to the iPhone.

Barely scratched and survived a 13.5 kg iron ball, showing real durability that justifies Apple's premium.

Feels solid for $90 and handled boiling water, but scratches easily and its software is not nice.

A shockingly realistic Apple Watch lookalike for $15 with great straps and screen but poor step tracking, rated 9.

A very good value lookalike with seven bands, though its blood oxygen app is clearly fake.

A toy-like kids' watch phone that's easy to use and genuinely useful with SOS and heart-rate alerts; nine out of ten.

The smaller GT 4 is shown as the better fit for him in looks than the 46mm, but he wore the 46mm for testing.

Singled out as the awesome one of the lot because it has working wireless earphones built into the watch.

A handcuff-like watch with a 1.7 inch screen that couldn't do real smartphone tasks, a good meme but a poor product.

Adds crash detection and a temperature sensor for ovulation tracking, but he notes it is a small update.

Described as the budget version of the Series 8.

Looks good with the yellow accents, but the software is a genuine mess and he could not get it set up.

Looks like a proper smartwatch but is really a fitness tracker inside, so he rates it a 2 out of 10 fail.

Cited as a faster, brighter and cheaper watch that locks users into the iPhone.

A cool curved-screen watch that is more fashion accessory than a smartwatch doing much more than cheaper rivals.

A smartwatch he has used for three and a half weeks that impresses with its dual display and 30-day LCD battery mode, despite not being a s…

Genuine leather straps and custom branding, but he does not love the custom watch face.
