UPDATE

Apple Watch Series 4

from £349 / stuff.tv/WatchS4

Series 5 is here, and almost certain to take top spot next month,

but while the old model is still available from some stockists it

remains a great option. 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 superb health features.

Whether you’re navigating using Maps, going for a run without

your phone or just wanting to keep track of your activity, it does

a great job of handling all these things and more.

Moov Now

£49 / 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 +++++

A sleek and sophisticated redesign of the previous

Watch makes this the best wearable ever... for now

Stuff says +++++

A bargain-tastic fitness band that does more than just

track your steps

Garmin Fenix 5

+++++£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

++++, £349 / 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

£90 / 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.
