Smartwatches

A smartwatch is chosen first by the phone it pairs with, since some features only work with one operating system. Next come battery life, which ranges from a day to several weeks depending on the screen and sensors, and the comfort of a strap worn day and night. Long lists of sports modes look impressive, but most people only use a handful.

What we rate in this category

Every product in the category is rated from 0 to 100 on these criteria : the same for all of them, whichever merchant sells it.

Read the full method

Display: This criterion measures screen size: the longer the bar, the roomier and easier the display is to read.
Battery life: This criterion measures battery capacity: the longer the bar, the longer the watch lasts between charges.
Speed: This criterion measures processor power: the longer the bar, the faster the watch reacts and runs apps without lag.
Price: This criterion compares the price found to that of other smartwatches on the market.
Build: Resistance to daily use: build quality, moving parts and how it holds up over time.
Capacity: What the appliance holds or handles at once: litres, kilos, cups between two refills. The longer the bar, the more it takes.

Price brackets by tier

Orders of magnitude, not displayed prices: a price only appears on Kalyneo once it has been collected from a merchant, with its collection date.

Under €90

A basic screen and simple activity tracking, with limited sport modes and only modest water resistance.

€90 to €300

The display gets sharper, battery life covers several days and water resistance allows real swimming sessions.

Over €300

Screen and responsiveness reach their best level, with comfortable battery life and more accurate sensors.

The buying guide for this category Buying guide: how to choose a smartwatch Between two smartwatches, the real difference comes from battery life, processor speed and water resistance, far more than the case design. Comparing these scores avoids paying for a spacious display attached to a battery that barely lasts a day. Read the guide
