I have watched many of your videos, and asked this question before, but never receive an answer. Which watch would you recommend for someone who wants to catch low oxygen events during sleep and be alerted to them??” THANKS!
Can you please do video on best Indian budget friendly smartwatches please 🙏
This channel has the potential to push up the quality of smartwatches as it makes people more aware of what they are buying. I wonder, how is it possible for Apple to be able to make a product so superior to the others? As an android user, I'm on a relentless search for a smartwatch at least comparable, but I haven't found any so far.
Hi! The Huawei Watch GT 3 I tested last week did a good job at heart rate tracking if you are interested!
Huawei watch gt3 is amazing and so accurate with 14 days battery life
Venu 2 is pretty close, as far as HR accuracy is concerned.
After a firmware update my Huawei Watch Fit seems quite good at BP and SPO2, with SPO2 constantly reported 1 - 3 % lower against a fingertip meter. It is sensitive to positioning or being too loose on the arm, though.
The sleep recording seems wildly off. The stress level indicator is of toy value only.
For the asking price it is good and beats a number of expensive show-watches.
(Note, there is a massive amount of data going to Huawei.)
You can go for GT3, if you are from India you might have to wait for sometime.
I love your channel. You helped me avoid unreasonable buy of wearables that would not fulfill their promise on health and sleep tracking. For that help, thank you. You are absolutely uniquely great.
Thanks so much Pavel! Did you end up getting one?
@@TheQuantifiedScientist Nice work man ,maybe im gonna buy a normal pro 3 Gps ,i think that is okay for a 140 dollars.
You've taken tech reviewing to next level. Rather than listening to people reading specs I would pretty much make my decision on facts you're presenting. Keep it up dude.
Thank you so much for making these videos. They really help all of us make more informed purchases.
I loved that watch handoff on the intro!!! So good! The screen tech in here looks interesting. At some point the Ticwatch is going to figure out how to nail the heart rate, gps and sleep tracking and it's going to be a very competitive watch. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Matt! Indeed, the screen tech is pretty cool. If they figure out at least the heart rate, I think it could already be worth it for many people. Haha, the hand-off is indeed something I am introducing in more videos, though pulling it off by myself took a bit of thinking ;-)
@@TheQuantifiedScientist(✷‿✷)
This testing is really high quality and so valuable. Rob is gold!!! 👍👍👍👍
Thank you once again for these amazingly detailed reviews Rob!
Thanks for your channel and all the time invested in just one video, it's helpful to see people's experiences on UA-cam, but reviews are almost always subjective, I love your channel for your experimentation and objective analysis. Just found your channel and is so worth it.
Also 🙈 do you now this brand called Bellabeat?? Their products are IVY and Leaf, in theory they sound great, but I'm afraid it's just marketing.
This is what ive been waiting for thanks rob
Thanks so much Jasper!
Thank you for all the awesome reviews, after days of debating you helped me with my decisions. I wish all reviews were as thorough as yours with everything but then I would be broke! So I guess that’s a good thing for my wallet haha
Rob, you really need to keep a "rollup" of all of the research somewhere where all of the comparisons can live. It would be good to be able to sort and rank, too. PLEASE do this.
Again great video. Could You prepare a list with accuracy in heart rate? I that's the most important point in Your tests I think. I can see watches and bands are struggling with heart rate during weight exercises the most. Cheers
Thank you for reviewing this one! What WearOS device would you say is accurate?
Thanks a lot for preventing us to by inaccurate devices my friend!
Really liking your content..it would be great if you add comparison videos or a list of top devices within categories/overall.
Thanks Dan!! That is in the making, but it will take some weeks still😊
thank you very much for your review!
Thanks for your work. I would be interested in knowing more about the measurement of stress and HRV. Especially since a growing number of people with chronic fatigue or ME/CFS uses watches to find the right activity balance.
Cfs/Me sufferer here. I use Oura Ring to track Hrv.
Once more a great review!
Would it also be possible to test the combination of a band such as the Xiaomi band (any version) in combination with an app such as sleep as android regarding the quality of sleep tracking? I'd be very interested.
One more great content. Fantastic...you are the man. 👍
Thank you so much 😀. Any suggestions to improve any part of the video?
For me is perfect. 😁 the amount of detail and information within video lenght is fantastic. Cheers from Portugal.
thanks for your review👍
Thanks for being such a loyal follower James! Really cool to see you always comment, and for such a long time!!😊
Best job again, what you are making can Change the Players in the market, Hallo from Deutschland 🤗
Great review. Big Tumbs UP:) Really like the scientific approach. I'd question the manual step counter. You could have made mistakes here and there.
Huawei GT3- does not pair with android phones at all. iPhone pairing is also not stable.
Samsung Galaxy 4 - has a terrible battery life.
Ticwatch- The GPS issue will "hopefully" be fixed once they update Wear OS3
Can't wait for the test of the Fēnix 7 / Epix 2 ! No purchase before it's been "scientifically quantified" by my man rob 😃👍
I have subscribed to this channel. This is great tech and scientific content.
The data you collected seem to be a lot less accurate, for the wearer, than all the other fitness watch reviewers. But I suppose I agree with most of what you said. I still like my ticwatch pro 3, just can't really rely on the health or fitness tracking. Although I find the heart rate tracking to be good enough, and still probably the best on wear os. And frankly I really like the lcd review. Going to be a while until we get a good wear os fitness watch though.
I was actually waiting for this video before I brought the ticwatch, I currently own the sense but I wanted to get something running wearOS without having inaccuracies. Looks like I will wait longer for a better device to come along. Thank you very much for your work
Glad I could help Dean! Any watches on the horizon that you are particularly waiting for?🙂
Keeping my eyes on the Garmin Venu 2 plus, seems like it's better for fitness first products to become better smartwatches then waiting for smartwatch first products to get better at fitness. Samsung is a prime example
Just bought the Venu 2 Plus :-) . Hopefully I can convince companies like Garmin to send me devices before release at some point☺️
In the same position.. Waiting on the venu 2 plus
Good review Rob, by the way, the tic watch pro 5 will be out very soon, tomorrow to be precise. Can you do a similar review? I am considering to buy this watch or the Garmin Venu 2. Congratulations to your channel!
I second your comment
Thank you. Im waiting this video for long time.
You're welcome! Did you expect results like these?😄
@@TheQuantifiedScientist actually I'm disappointed. I'm glad i didn't buy the watch. Thank you for the huge work and time. I will probably buy the Huawei watch, seems way more accurate
As a Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS owner Im looking for my next purchase. It feels like we are on the cusp of the next generation of many of the smartwatches out there. Interested to see if the Amazfit TRex 2 has fixed their accuracy issues? Their GTR 4 has also just been announced. Huawei Watch GT4 is also expected soon. Not to mention the elusive Pixel Watch......
It feels like you can have battery or accuracy and the Huawei Watch GT3 seems the best compromise across the board. I may just wait and buy a GT3 Pro at a reduced price...
Hoping you are planning to test the Tickwatch 5 Pro soon 😁🙏
I have this watch and my GPS is pretty accurate. Maybe your route, particularly around those specific building where the variance is detected, has a concentration of mobile signals, Wi-Fi or other electromagnetic interference.
Or maybe someone's underground bunker. :D
you deserve a million subscribers!
So which one should I get?! Been watching a few of your videos and still can't decide which one is the most accurate. lol It is a great channel, I just really need a tracking watch that can at least measure my sleep & HR accurately.
I wish I would have seen this before buying my TicWatch E3. Especially now with the Venue 2 Plus coming out, but of course there's a big price disparity between these two.
Would you consider testing a China-Smartwatch?
The Bakeey F800 is a full of features toy with super high play value. But does it anything really accurate?
First, Thank you very much for your videos, Rob.
Can I ask if you have tested again the Fitbit Sense after the new update and the new data it gives? Is working more accurately? What do you think?
Hi! Thanks!! There are so many watches to test at the moment, but lets see if I can do it again when things calm down a bit 😊
Vielen lieben dank!
Thanks for that video. Mobvoi marketing for TicWatch devices is quite aggressive. It makes sense since Mobvoi has neither the name of Samsung nor its flagship status in the WearOs ecosystem. But in the end, those TicWatch products are still expensive even if you're sure to get one with a discount of almost 100 Canadian dollars for a Pro3 Ultra GPS. It's basically in the same price range as Galaxy Watch4 devices.
I've noticed some bad comments from consumers under Facebook ads, but now I know the sensors' quality range doesn't match with the devices' price range.
Tried the Ticwatch pro 5 did they figure to repair the flaw of pro 3 ultra. I'm testing the Huawei Gt runner with ticwatch pro 5 side by side. Seem very near performance, gps, sleep tracking, spO2 etc. The diference are the huawei are more basic in comparaison but 126$ less. Soo until the 12 september I still testing both date at which I will return one of it. Sooo still not decided.
Can you do one for a one plus watch as well heard the tracking has improved significantly after the latest updates!! Btw great work, quite accurate results for all the items you test!!
Hi! Thanks for the suggestion, I will see what I can do 😉
Channel is growing wow
Your channel is the reason that I still do not have a smartwatch.
Question. After I recorded my cycling. How do I access the map showing me the city map with the recording?
Hey man, I watched your vids about smartbands, my number 1 searching is best sleep tracking and possibility to wake up in light stage (planned to do it with one time paid app Sleep As Android app, unfortunatelly it doesnt show possibility of using fitbits), I know you tested bunch of them and you probably will say that Fitbit charge 4 and inspire 2 are best arround 100$, but what I should choose arround that price 100$ but not fitbit. I read that smart wake is for fitbit premium and that would cost me another smartband price every year. The second thing is that these fitbits are just old, I know in smartwatches 1-2 years difference is a big gap, I dont know how about smartbands but probably its the same about sensor quality or sensor generation. You have any idea which way I should go?
Ouff after listening the review on ticwatch pro 3 ultra I saw that ticwatch pro ultra 3 are not precise at all in many aspect, did there last ticwatch pro 5 are better and correct the flaw of the ticwatch pro 3 ultra seem ticwatch are not in the ball game soo your advice on ticwatch pro 5 are good to trash or be worth considerate ?
Would you consider testing the Ticwatch E3, please?
Are there any big glass buildings at the positions were the GPS signals jump off? I could imagine that the signal is reflected at such surfaces, but it's only speculations. I have no idea if that would be possible.
Thank you always for amazing contents. Could you please do Garmin MK2 accuracy test?
WOW, I just checked the price... It is slightly outside of my budget😅
@@TheQuantifiedScientist Thank you for the reply. ✌️
Not a watch but would love to see you review the accuracy of withings body scan that was recently launched. Not a watch but a health monitoring device like oura ring, apple, etc
I like this channel 👌🏼
But I wanna asking about mi watch and other watches results in sleep graphics chart in 4:35?
Hi! Thanks!! I think at the time I was using the Z-max EEG as a reference. You will see them in the overview with that as a reference. I think some of my Oura videos will have that overview😊
I realy like your video and the scientific touch speak to me. But I'm in the process to choose between a Huawei Gt runner (more basic) and ticwatch pro 5. The perf are really near but more capacity for the ticwatch. Soooo stil a hard choice Huawei are 126$ cheaper but more basic. Like both sooo choice are dificult. Help me.
Hi Rob, are you planning to review the new tickwatch pro 5? hopefully is better than this one
Hi Rob, can you test the tickwatch E3?
Hi Rob, great review!! Which one do you recommend? Garmin Venu 2, or Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS? I'm basically going to use it for walking, running, cycling and listening to music while doing sports. And to be able to keep track of sports activities, I would wear the watch every day. Greetings from Buenos Aires!!!
Hi! Garmin Venu 2, given the superior heart rate tracking 😊
Cool!!! Thank you!!!
Rob we need your review on the new Ticwatch Pro 5 🙏
Hey Rob! A regular viewer here 💓 Can you please tell me if it’s okay to buy an Apple watch series 3 in 2022? how are the sensors & performance?
Hi Mahir! Thanks for commenting. I am not sure if I can say anything about that, since I have never tested it. Would you want to buy one used? If it has the same sensor as the SE it should be OK, though I am not sure of this honestly
Hey Rob ! I hope you can help me I have a ticwatch pro ultra and I thinking about I sell it and I buy a Huawei gt2 pro . When I checked the two test I didnt find big diference. What is your opinion ?
0:02 smooth
I believe you linked to the wrong Huawei video. You recommende the GT3 but the link goes to the GT2 video. Thanks for the many excellent videos, btw!
Thanks for letting me me know! I'll check that out!😊
Thank you so much for this review..
Still Huawei watch gt3 HR Accuracy is the best for Android users.
And the Garmin venu 2
Hi Mero and Franco! Yes, both of these that you mention are good watches 😊
I bought them before this great video was released :D Now need to find how to increase precision of this watches. Maybe new WearOS update? Or some workaround e.g. not use GPS from Phone connectivity, or not use Google Fit, because I have different count of steps compared to TicExercise vs Google Fit. Not sure what is more accurate, but Fit is counting always more.
To improve the precision only swaping the sensor for a better one. It seems that Ticwatch uses a cheap one, at the same level of the MiBands.
what do you think of E3
As owner of ultra i definitely expected better results atleast on heart rate measurements.
Did you use tics or google fit apps for measuring
Hi! I used the Mobvoi app, to stay as close as possible to the manufacturer's design. The heart rate was connected to strava to get the data. Did you find it performing better during your tests? What sports did you do? Have a great day😊!
Please anyone tell best watch with LTE version with correct test results??👏👏🙏🙏👋👋
Great video, as per usual. Maybe you could take a look at reviewing Lumen? As a biomedical engineer, I would be very interested!
Hi! The Lumen seems cool, but I wouldn't know how to test it yet honestly...😅
@@TheQuantifiedScientist Was thinking the same thing, such a shame because I'm sure it could generate some interesting data
Gtr 3 amezfit review after its updated firmware version
Can you review withing hybrid watch?
Ola vc consegue fazer testes com Huawei watch D, esse parece ser incrível, curto muito seu canal, estou na procura do mais preciso possível pra saúde
thank you for this video and all the others.. since tic watch 3 is wear os 3 ready soon.. could you do a best off video so far?
Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. Do you mean, the best smartwatch I tested so far overall?
@@TheQuantifiedScientist yes..thnx! dank jewel
i watch almost all of the video's of new smartwatches and the more i watch the more i find/think none of them are actually acurate in anything, sleep tracking heart tracking etc.. got the polar h10 now and love it. apparently smartwatches are unable to monitor health measurements..so it is a very expensive gadget..
@@roversberg the Huawei Gt3 has the best heart rate sensors aside Garmin, Applewatch. I'm thinking buy one.
please do a tracking for Amazfit T-rex 2
I hope you can review the new venue 2 plus I heard the heart rate accuracy is nearly onpar with the apple watch
Hi Nicolas! Yes, it arrived last Friday! I hope at some point I will get on Garmin's and Polar's radar, and they will lend me some devices before release. So far I am still too small a fish it seems 🤓
Guess I should a watched this b4 I bought this junk for 300 bucks! Subscribed! Thanks!
Hy there, I've got this watch and I discovered that to get descent results you have to put the watch tight on your skin..
I've went from almost a to low spo2 to an 97-100.. The same for the heart rate..
I'm not using it for sports though..
Strangely the GPS is connected in my house but when I start the exercise (walking the dog) it's gone and misses half of the walk.. so I have to stand still to get a connection and then I can make my walk..
And yesss the mobvoi app is bad.. really bad..
Hi Mark! Thanks for sharing your experience! I try to wear it tight indeed, since many watches need this😊
Though ticwatch's own sleep tracking is poor, you can use it with sleep as android which is much more accurate
Hi! Yeah, sleep as android is still on the todo list indeed 😄
Garmin Fenix would be great to test.
Yeah! I am waiting for the 7 to release, which is expected this week. I also have to convince Garmin to send me one to test, given the pricetag😭
Need noise watch also please
Awesome review….as always…so I need to stay away from that not so “Ultra or Pro” watch.🤟🤟🤟
Thanks Mike! Yep, not the best watch. Hopefully we'll get an all-round good watch at some point⌚️
Hi Rob, excellent data driven review. Too bad the TicWatch underperforms. I hope TicWatch views your review and comes with an update soon :-)! Groeten, Sander
Hi Sander! Thanks a bunch man! I am wondering what watches people are most interested in, any suggestion? Groetjes!
@@TheQuantifiedScientist Hi Rob, difficult to say. It depends on the user group. Just wondering whether how more purpose focused smartwatches such as Suunto Polar, Garmin would compare to e.g. Samsung, Apple, etc when assessing the sleep, HR, O2 and GPS functions.
Thank you very much for yet another awesome review! Are you planning to review the new Garmin 7/Epix series as well? Also i'm quite interested in the app "Sleep as android" which I use in combination with my Garmin Verity Sense.
What do you do to your hair to keep it looking so good???
Hi Timo! Haha, thanks for the compliment🙈. I don't do anything special, but use a bit of product to keep it in place
@@TheQuantifiedScientist What's the product? :)
@@timohnani it’s from this Dutch store called HEMA. It’s called “shaper”, but I don’t think it’s available outside of the Netherlands
@@TheQuantifiedScientist Thanks! Great work on the fitness/smart watches. I'm looking to get a new one but I have been holding out because they all seem to be a compromise. Pity the Amazfit was not good.
Try fossil gen 6
Your videos are so good that I have decided that I shall buy a smartwatch ONLY after it is reviewed on your channel and you certify it to be good. Have watched several videos and now I have subscribed.
I too, like someone mentioned here am an Android user but I am still looking for a smartwatch that competes with the Apple watch, acing sleep tracking, heart rate tracking and EKG . It's frustrating no one has made a true Android competitor. The Pixel watch rumors exist for 2years but not even an announcement. Fingers crossed.
Wish there was a watch that had both great HR and sleep tracking. Right now, we have to pick which is more important.
Indeed! Would be great to get the complete package 👍
Gt3 sounds like it's great for sleep and awake times if u don't care much about the details of the sleep
Thanks for doing this video…Too bad I already bought it
Huawei watch gt3 is so accurate but it's underrated ..
Sorry to hear that! Hopefully firmware updates come at some point
I'm hoping when they update to wear os 3, it'll be better...
I had the Ticwatch, but returned it after finding it very inaccurate and the data all but usless. Instead I have stayed with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, which I feel is more accurate and provides better data for the average non technical person can use to adjust their sleep patterns
Hi Ted! What data was most inaccurate for you?
Unfortunately most of the Ticwatch data was un usable and 2 of the 5 nights it did not work at all. I measure the readings during a sleep clinic over 2 nights. Ticwatch routinly failed to even start tracking my sleep until after midnight..Mobvoi simply said their algorithms were not capable of tracking MY sleep ... I offered to do whatever they needed to change their algorithms, but their approach was to give me 30% discount for me to keep the device.. this was unacceptable.
8:02 "heart rate tracking is okey" - No, its not its absolutely useless. When your hr is 150 and the watch says its 90 thats not acceptable. I dont understand why people even try to train without chest strap if they care a little bit about their effort. Good video as always, keep it up!
When I drink coofe I have 700 steps
With ticwatch
hi Rob give me ❤️
First!
Weird, my E3 fares a lot better and it uses the same sensors 🤔
Hi! Cool! During what exercises did you test it?
@@TheQuantifiedScientist I've mainly tested it for sleep and light running, but, I am not the only one who's been matching whatever medical devices we have laying around, when I bought this watch, I read multiple reviews talking about sensors specifically, and well while it's not perfect, it certainly has been fairing better, maybe the silicone strap that E3 comes with makes it more reliable than those leather straps on 3 PRO models🤔
So this Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS is good for absolutely nothing.
Well... It would not be my first choice for any of the categories I tested ;-)😅
Good for reply notifications, haha.
Oh, just as bad as my galaxy watch 4....
Hi Gio! The Galaxy Watch 4 is at least a better smartwatch in terms of user interface and functionalities in my opinion. How do you like it for that?
@@TheQuantifiedScientist I love it, super practical, never miss a nofication, can't live without Samsung pay on my wrist, the integration with my Samsung phone is truly amazing, and IMHO, looks good.
@@TheQuantifiedScientist Just curious, what parts of user interface and functionalities did you mean?
Thanks for testing it... I won't be buying it.
This channel makes people finally wake up from being stupid consumers
I appreciate the channel and test, but come on, sleep test compared to a total s**tty EEG helmet is quiet ridiculous.
In order to be accurate test, the reference should be near perfect
Another pile of rubbish, with advanced specifications spewing out data that's mostly wrong. You're not going to make much money from your affiliate link!
Haha, I know William. However, I gave my honest opinion, but if people still want to buy it for some reason despite that, the link is there 😅
Bla bla bla you need 2 weeks of comparison with MULTIPLE DEVICES as test and calibration and medical reference devices . So your analysis means nothing.
