Apple Watch Series 4

from £399 / stuff.tv/WatchS4

The Apple Watch Series 4 has everything going for it – the

larger screen, improved processor and louder speaker mean

it’s easier to actually do stuff on it than any previous Watch,

and it has a load of health features that just aren’t on other

wearables. Whether you’re navigating somewhere using Maps,

going for a run without your phone, or just wanting to keep

track of your activity during the day, this Apple Watch does

a great job of handling all these things and more.

Moov Now

£55 / stuff.tv/MoovNow

Slow and steady wins the race, and the Now has gone on to prove

that with a marathon-like pace helping it finally make it to the

top of this list. We’ve long considered this tracker a bargain, but

further reductions have helped it enter the realm of ‘downright

steal’. OK, so it doesn’t have a screen or smartphone skills,

but with guided voice coaching, a six-month battery and solid

waterproofing, it has everything you’d ever want in your perfect

fitness tracker.

Stuff says +++++

Best wearable ever: a sleek, sophisticated redesign of

the previous generation with some hearty upgrades

Stuff says +++++

A bargain-tastic fitness band that does more than just

track your steps

Garmin Fenix 5

+++++from £450 / stuff.tv/Fenix5

Like the annoying kid in school who’s both

super-smart and great at every sport.

Fitbit Charge 3

++++,£130 / stuff.tv/Charge3

A capable tracker with an easy-to-wear

design and long battery life.

Garmin Forerunner 945

+++++£520 / stuff.tv/Forerunner945

A well-built, comfortable and feature-rich

smartwatch, perfect for fitness freaks.

Suunto 9

++++, £376 / stuff.tv/Suunto9

Epic battery life and accurate tracking make

this a great – if pricey – option.

Stuff says ++++,

All the tracking skills that most people need

Stuff says +++++

A fine smartwatch for sporty types

Stuff says ++++,

One of the most well-rounded, stylish hybrids

Fitbit Inspire HR

£79 / stuff.tv/InspireHR

Fitbit’s latest is a great little tracker. As well

as step-counting, it’s surprisingly capable

for proper run-tracking if you go out with

a phone. Add notifications and that’s just

about everything we want in a low-key band.

Garmin Vivoactive 3

from £200 / stuff.tv/Vivoactive3

It looks good, isn’t a wrist-dominator,

outlasts just about all normal smartwatches

and gets you the same kind of tracking as the

Fenix 5 at half the price. We just wish it had

more smart features up its sleeve.

Withings Steel HR Sport

£190 / stuff.tv/SteelHRSport

Like Paul McCartney’s career, the Steel HR

Sport can keep on going and going... and going.

With a subtle, stylish design, it promises to

last for 25 days on a single charge. This is one

hybrid that won’t burn out even when you do.

Stuff says +++++

The best smartwatch for Android users

Samsung Galaxy Watch

from £279 / stuff.tv/GalaxyWatch

A sturdy and stylish smartwatch with plenty

of power and a truly lovely user interface.

Those with an iPhone are still likely to get

a better experience and more functionality

from an Apple Watch, though.
