Apple iPads, AirPods & co. on Black Friday - What are the best deals in the UK? (2024)

At Smart Home Fox, our approach to testing smartwatches is both methodical and practical. 

We begin our process with in-depth online research to identify the most promising models. 👩🏼‍💻

Once we've made our selections, we buy them and use them every day for a few weeks. 

We see how they work in real life and check how good they are in different situations. 

This way, we make sure our reviews are based on real experiences.

If you're interested in understanding how we test our products, check out our detailed smart wearables testing procedure.

Testing the smartwatch's workout features

We want to see how good smartwatches are at tracking workouts. 

So, we also wear them to the gym. 🏋🏼‍♀️

To check their accuracy, we also wear a chest strap and compare the results from both. 

This way, we can tell if the smartwatches are giving correct fitness data.

Testing the smartwatch’s health features

To see how well a smartwatch checks our health, we wear it all the time, even when we sleep. 

We compare its sleep tracking to the Oura Ring, a wearable device that is dedicated to tracking sleep. 😴

After the test, we look at all the health data from the watch to see how good it is at monitoring our health.

Testing other smartwatch features

To see how well a smartwatch works, we link it to our phone and try out all its features. 📱

This lets us know how easy and helpful the watch is to use in everyday life. 

By doing this, we can give you a full picture of what it's like to use the watch, not just its health features.

Final thoughts and buying advice

After we test the smartwatches, we give our final opinion and suggest if it's worth buying. 

We want to help you find the best watch for you.👌
