TOP 18 Smart watches and bracelets according to customer reviews

If you choose a watch in the segment up to 15 thousand rubles, then be prepared for the fact that this is just a fitness bracelet in the watch case, do not expect a large set of functions from them. Calling a cheap SMART watch a watch is just a marketing ploy, in functionality they are not far from fitness bracelets.

First, decide what you expect from the functionality - tracking workouts, sleep quality, etc.? Then look at the category of fitness bracelets: they also receive notifications from the phone and display them, show the time, date, some even the weather forecast, but the price tag is 3 times lower. If the watch should replace the smartphone and give you the opportunity to take it out of your pocket less, then you are in the category of “smart” watches, but choose from 15 thousand, so as not to experience disappointment in the functionality.

Children's watches completely replace the phone, allow you to contact the child, track his location, but most gadgets do not have high autonomy. And the price for them is lower than for an adult "smart" watch. We will go through the models and their features in detail later in the review.

TOP-8 "smart" watches

Galaxy Watch Active 2

The first place in the top is occupied by smart watches for those who are actively involved in sports. In addition to the usual running, cycling and swimming, push-ups, pull-ups, lunges, stretching and others appeared - a total of 37 training regimes. You can train to music - there is a player, and Bluetooth v 5.0., For connecting headphones. During activity, the watch will carefully monitor changes in the state of your body, thanks to the built-in heart rate monitor, tonometer and ECG. The calorie counter and pedometer will report on the effectiveness of the workout. There are also standard functions - alarm clock, call notifications, SMS, weather, social networks, GPS. To use some of them, you need to synchronize the watch with your smartphone. Samsung owners will need 2 applications, smartphones from other brands - as many as 4. According to the technical characteristics, we have the following - a dual-core Exynos 9110 processor with a frequency of 1150 MHz, 768 MB of RAM and 4 GB of permanent memory, of which 2 are available to the user OS Tizen.

Built-in wireless modules Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth v 5.0. There is a version with LTE. Wireless charging, Li-Ion340 mAh battery - up to two days of active use. The design of the watch combines both sporty and classic features, in general, it is suitable for everyday use. Restriction - swimming in salt water - waterproof housing IP68. For a pool, it is better to use a silicone or rubber strap, leather looks more solid "on land", but water with reagents can quickly deteriorate from exposure to water, which cannot be said about the aluminum case - it is not afraid of anything, like the Super AMOLED display protected by Gorilla Glass DX +. In terms of color schemes for the case and straps, the choice is quite large, when buying, rely on your taste preferences. The price, depending on the color and modifications, varies from 18,000 to 22,500 rubles.

pros

• The price compared to the "Apple" watch.
• Powerful technical stuffing.
• Functional.
• Design.
• Super AMOLED display with excellent viewing angles.
• Bluetooth v 5.0.
• WiFi 5.
• NFC.
• Autonomy.
• Samsung pay.

Minuses

• The function of turning on the screen when you turn the hand sometimes does not work.
• Some users don't like the interface.
• Sport modes are in fact marketing decisions and are useless for most users.
• The quality of the dials offered.
• Few applications.
• With active use, abrasions and scratches appear on the case.
• samsung pay does not work correctly in some cases.

A good watch with an emphasis on sporting options. At the same time, they have a rather strict design. The best option in terms of price - quality ratio and an excellent branded alternative to Apple Watch Series 5, which have a price tag that is almost 2 times higher. Watches from the middle price segment have cut functionality - there is no NFC, WiFi, the ability to install third-party software. If this doesn't scare you, then in principle you can consider the HUAWEI Watch GT 2 Sport or HONOR MagicWatch 2.

Apple Watch Series 5

The second place in the rating is occupied by the novelty of the end of last year, which will certainly appeal to those who have used version 4 of the "Apple" smart watch. Compared to its predecessor, the watch has become even larger (the screen is 1.7 inches), the internal memory has doubled to 32 GB and received minor software modifications, in particular, a compass has appeared, and the display is now constantly illuminated by the Always-On technology. The latter practically did not affect the autonomy - the model easily withstands a daily marathon. Compared to the Galaxy Watch Active 2, the model looks advanced - the display diagonal is larger and the memory capacity is 4 times larger. In terms of functionality, in general, they are also not inferior - to receive calls, messages, surf the Internet, determine location, analyze sleep phases and wake the owner - all this and much more the watch can do. But there are also obvious disadvantages:

• It is difficult to make friends with devices and gadgets of other brands;
• distinctive sporty design - Series 5 is more intended for sports or outdoor activities.

Surprisingly, the Galaxy Watch Active 2 wins in terms of the number of sports options. Regarding the care of the owner's health, he here wins Series 5, they not only monitor the owner's heart rate, but also warn when this indicator drops or rises to a critical level ... The same with the noise level, the watch will warn you to screw on the subwoofer to avoid damage to your hearing. At the same time, there is no built-in tonometer, unlike a competitor. But there is voice control, access to Apple Music and the ability to install applications from the App Store. Built-in wireless modules Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth v 5.0. There is a version with LTE. The watches are offered to the world community in cases made of aluminum, stainless steel, titanium or ceramics in sizes 40 and 44 mm. Only the aluminum version is available in Russia. But with straps there is complete freedom of choice - rubber, silicone, fabric and leather of different colors with a classic buckle and lock - everyone can customize this watch for himself. In terms of moisture protection, everything is similar to Galaxy Watch Active 2 - deep-sea diving, especially in salt water, it is better not to do it. The price ranges from 30,000 to 35,500 rubles.

pros

• Large Always-On Display.
• 32 GB of internal memory.
• Functional.
• Large selection of straps in different materials and colors.
• Bluetooth v 5.0.
• WiFi 5.
• NFC.
• Possibility of contactless payment.
• Built-in microphone and speaker for making calls.
• Siri voice assistant.

Minuses

• Price.
• Autonomy.
• They do not work with smartphones on Android, and even if it turns out to make them friends, the functionality will be greatly reduced.

To have such a watch is stylishly fashionable and prestigious. On the other hand, without a smartphone from Apple, you will not be able to activate them and use the functionality to the fullest. Galaxy Watch Active 2 will also have some limitations when working with Android devices, but it's much easier to make friends with these systems. To summarize, if you have an Iphone and are willing to spend more than $ 100 on smartwatches, Apple Watch Series 5 is a great choice. If you have a Samsung smartphone and the watch will be used on a daily basis, it is better to choose the Galaxy Watch Active 2 - a more strict design and improved battery life.For owners of Android devices, it is better to choose the Garmin Vivoactive 4 or inexpensive models from China.

Garmin Vivoactive 4

The top three are closed by a smart watch from an American manufacturer. Compared to the previous participants in the rating, they have an expanded set of fitness sensors. With their help, you can monitor the level of stress, sleep quality, blood oxygen saturation, water intake, menstrual cycles. However, most of the functions require manual entry of indicators. The watch will be a godsend for athletes - over 20 preloaded sports programs for indoor and outdoor training with the ability to create your own in the Garmin Connect app. A feature of the model is a transflective matrix. It reflects bright daylight and operates without the use of a backlight that only activates in low light conditions. The image quality is an order of magnitude worse than that of competitors, but the autonomy of the device is significantly increased. The cost-effective ANT + wireless technology also contributes to this. The manufacturer claims up to 8 days without recharging, with the clarification that everything depends on the intensity of use (in GPS mode with music - up to 6 hours). I could not find information on the amount of internal memory, but the manufacturer promises to store up to 500 mp3 tracks. Standard functions - an alarm clock, notifications of calls / SMS from a paired smartphone are available. There is contactless payment, but you can use it only with cards and on terminals that support Garmin Pay. There are few of them in Russia. But in terms of compatibility with other devices, Garmin Vivoactive 4, unlike the first two participants in the rating, is universal - the manufacturer's own operating system can be easily interfaced with iOS and Android. All wireless modules are built-in. The watch has IP68 water protection - getting into the rain and even swimming in the pool is permissible, but the watch will not stand deep diving. In terms of design, in my opinion, this device is the most versatile - I would attribute their style to CASUAL - suitable for any clothing and type of event. But from the standpoint of individualization they lose to competitors - they are available only in gray and black colors with the same rubber or silicone straps.

pros

• Versatile design.
• Sports functionality.
• A large number of sensors and applications for health monitoring.
• Autonomy.
• transflective display is always active.
• Easy synchronization with smartphones on any OS.
• NFC.
• Garmin Pay payment option.

Minuses

• Image quality;
• Bluetooth v 4.0 - short range of connection;
• The pedometer does not work correctly - sometimes the hand wave is counted as steps;
• Garmin Pay is not supported by all terminals and maps in our country.

The price is 29,000 rubles. Ideal for athletes. A large set of pre-configured sports applications, with the ability to analyze the body's response to them and fine-tune the training process, taking this into account. They work with any smartphones, and using the ANT + protocol, you can additionally connect external sensors or even integrate the watch into a “smart” home. Autonomy, with rational use, is higher than that of competitors. At the same time, the image quality of the display is noticeably worse, but, in the end, this is a smart watch, not a TV. Personally, I think this watch is the best in the premium segment today. If you are ready to pay about 30,000 rubles for such equipment and want to get a universal device that can be easily synchronized with any smartphones and can be used daily without attracting much attention - Garmin Vivoactive 4 is your choice. Galaxy Watch Active 2 and Apple Watch Series 5 are good for owners of smartphones of these brands - syncing with other OS is difficult.

Xiaomi Mi Watch

It fundamentally differs from the three previous participants in the rating by the support of SIM cards. We are talking about e-SIM - a non-removable module that is programmed according to the SIM card number - an interesting function, but not sufficiently developed in our country.If you manage to activate it, then you can make and receive calls directly from your watch. In terms of functionality, it is inferior to representatives of the premium segment. Control over the state of the body is reduced to measuring the pulse and monitoring sleep. The sports component also doesn't match the Galaxy Watch Active 2 or Garmin Vivoactive 4 - there are only 10 pre-configured workout modes. In terms of the availability of sensors, they are not inferior to competitors - a pedometer, a GPS speed sensor module / + GLONASS, a compass, an altimeter (altimeter), a barometer (pressure), a gyroscope, an accelerometer. The technical stuffing is quite powerful - a Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 quad-core processor with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory, which is more than enough for everyday use. AMOLED display with a diagonal of 1.78. Built-in wireless modules ANT + Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth. OS - MIUI For Watch - based on Android Wear OS. At the moment, only watches for the Chinese market are sold and it is not easy to assess the convenience of the operating system, since there is no Russian language, and synchronization with a smartphone is rather complicated. Autonomy up to 36 hours. The design is quite aggressive - the rectangular shape of the display protrudes noticeably against the background of the strap (rubber or metal). Rubber ones are offered in 4 colors - black, blue, white, gray - while the watch case itself is black or gray. Display protection - Gorilla Glass 3, waterproof IP68. The price is 14,000 rubles.

pros

• Price.
• Powerful technical stuffing.
• Large amount of RAM and built-in memory.
• Functional.
• AMOLED display with a large diagonal.
• E-SIM support.
• Li-Pol battery.
• NFC.
• Autonomy.

Minuses

• Restrictions on functionality outside of China - Google Play does not work, e-SIM contactless payment.
• There is no support for the Russian language.
• Thick body.
• No leather straps available.
• A small set of available applications.
• Small selection of dials.
• Raw software.

Some experts have already dubbed this watch the "killer" of the Apple Watch. With the most similar design and good technical stuffing, they cost 2 - 2.5 times cheaper. But there is a bold "but" - so far only the Chinese version is presented on the market, the functionality of which outside the Middle Kingdom is significantly curtailed - there is no support for the Russian language, the application store is installed local and nothing in Russian can be found there, Google Pay is not supported, which means contactless payment is not possible. In general, in theory, Mi Watch is an excellent alternative to the "apple", but there is no need to rush to buy this model. With the right approach, Xiaomi can get another product with the best price-quality ratio. The groundwork in the form of a flagship processor and 8 GB of internal memory has already been made, the main thing is to modify the software. While in the middle price range, I suggest paying attention to the HUAWEI Watch GT 2 Sport, although they are inferior in terms of hardware and functionality.

HUAWEI Watch GT 2 Sport

The TOP 5 of the best are closed by smart watches from a popular Chinese brand. They have significantly reduced functionality, compared to competitors above. There are presets for practicing different sports, but they are implemented rather crudely, like Light OS in general. The model does not have WiFi, NFC. You cannot install third-party applications on it. All useful functionality is hidden behind the installed sensors - heart rate monitor, altimeter, gyroscope, accelerometer, barometer, accelerometer, gyroscope and digital compass with GPS module. They allow you to track the user's location in space and the state of his health during sports. In addition, they can accompany them with music - the owner has 2 GB of internal memory and Bluetooth v 5.1 to connect headphones, inform about incoming calls and messages. What the model is better than many competitors is autonomy from 15 to 168 hours, and as the experiments of many bloggers show, the watch is really capable of living in an average activity mode for up to 7 days. Only the Garmin Vivoactive 4, or the budget Amazfit Bip, can surpass them, but at the expense of the image quality on the display.Waterproof IP67 casts doubt on the possibility of using the watch while swimming, although this mode is declared by the manufacturer. In terms of design, the watch is closer to sporty, looks modern, while the choice of colors is small - the case and straps are available in black and gray. On the other hand, you can always find a compatible strap from other models. The price is 13,000 rubles.

pros

• High-quality display.
• Bluetooth v 5.1.
• Autonomy.
• High quality Always-On display.
• Design.
• Autonomy.
• Functional application "Health" from Huawei.

Minuses

• No WiFi, NFC.
• Unable to install third party apps.
• Raw OS and unfinished embedded applications.
• Some options in the Chinese smartphone app.
• The number and quality of dials.
• You cannot accept a call from instant messengers, switch a call from a phone to a watch.

Calling this watch "smart" can only be a stretch; rather, it is an advanced fitness tracker with notification functions, the ability to store and listen to music via Bluetooth headphones and a built-in GPS sensor. Against this background, the price seems overpriced. But if we are talking about the middle price segment, then it is hardly possible to find something fundamentally different here. Perhaps in the near future Xiaomi Mi Watch will make a breakthrough here, but at the moment they do not have a global version.

HONOR MagicWatch 2

The sixth place in the ranking is occupied by a model from the HUAWEI sub-brand. Functionally similar to the GT 2 Sport. We can only note that the lack of the ability to measure the level of oxygen in the blood, the presence of a speaker for speakerphone - you can answer calls. The models are similar even in terms of design, but in the case of MagicWatch 2, you can choose from three color options for the case - silver, gold, black and straps - black, gold, brown. Also, the strap can optionally be leather.

pros

• Design.
• High quality Always-On display.
• Bluetooth v 5.1.
• Can be used as a Bluetooth headset.
• USB-C charger connector.
• Autonomy.
• Functional application "Health" from Huawei.

Minuses

• Some features are only available for Android.
• The number and quality of dials.
• No WiFi, NFC.
• Unable to install third party applications.
• Raw OS and unfinished embedded applications.

A gadget for everyday use - good design, good build quality, bright display and good battery life. If you put them next to the HUAWEI Watch GT 2 Sport, then you will hardly be able to find a dozen small differences both in terms of design and functionality. I would prefer MagicWatch 2 for two main reasons - more available colors and the ability to answer calls. That being said, both models have a decent budget alternative from the Chinese brand Amazfit. Two models from this manufacturer close our rating.

Amazfit GTS

In seventh place in the ranking is an almost exact copy of the Apple Watch Series 5 from the Chinese manufacturer. Unlike "apple" and other top models, it works on a closed OS - you cannot install third-party software, you have to be content with what the manufacturer offers. It is worth saying that it offers a lot - 12 preset programs of activity and sports, a heart rate monitor and recommendations for adjusting training based on data on the physical condition of the owner. There is also sleep monitoring, and GPS and compass are used for orientation in space, drawing up interactive maps. There is no altimeter, unlike an expensive watch. AMOLED display with a diagonal of 1.65 inches, a resolution of 442x348 pixels is commendable and easily competes with the Apple Watch Series 5, if you do not take into account the periodic lags of the OS.

Due to its waterproof rating, the watch can be used for swimming, but is not suitable for deep diving. Communication Features - Alerts for incoming calls and messages from popular synced apps. It is impossible to answer the latter, the call can be either dropped or switched to silent mode. The manufacturer focused on autonomy - up to 46 days of battery life.In practice, in order to do this, you will have to turn off all functions and make the backlight to a minimum, turning the smart watch into an ordinary one, not very convenient to use. With moderate activity and using only the smart functions you need, the watch will live up to 14 days, and the average battery life is 5-7 days, which is still better than the “apple competitor”. You can scold this model for the lack of built-in memory available to the user. There is a player to play music, but you cannot store your favorite media files in the watch, which means that without a smartphone, they do not offer any entertainment options, unlike the same HONOR MagicWatch 2. The design of the watch is quite neutral, choosing the right strap, you can easily wear it every day. The user can choose from 4 color solutions of the case - black, silver, gray, gold, and 6 rubber straps - black, gray, red, blue, beige, pink. If you wish, you can choose a strap from another manufacturer from any material. The price is 9,000 rubles.

pros

• Price.
• Versatility - Thin body, light weight and discreet design make them suitable for everyday use.
• Display quality.
• 12 preset training modes.
• Health monitoring.
• Autonomy.
• Bluetooth v 5.0.

Minuses

• The design is licked by Apple.
• Thick black display bezels.
• The clock is running low.
• There is no built-in memory available to the user.
• Not very good Russification.
• No security lock possible.
• The heart rate monitor works with an error, especially with a rapid heartbeat.
• Cannot perform multiple tasks at the same time.
• It is impossible to install third-party applications;
• No WiFi, NFC.
• There are minor software flaws.
• Usability and interface of the Amazfit program.
• The protective glass is prone to scratches.
• Weak vibration.
• The hand under the complete strap is sweating.

Like the two previous participants in the rating, this watch is far from the title of "smart", rather it is a fitness tracker in the watch case. Moreover, they cost 4,000 rubles less. Not a bad saving, considering that compared to the HONOR MagicWatch 2, you only lose the ability to answer calls, and unlike the HUAWEI Watch GT 2 Sport, to measure the oxygen level in the blood. If you are interested in the possibility of contactless payment, Internet access and installation of third-party applications and the availability of entertainment functions, get ready to pay at least 3 times more, or wait until Xiaomi finalizes and brings its Mi Watch to our market, but even they will cost almost twice as much.

Amazfit Bip

The most budget watches close the rating. They cost only 5,000 rubles. But the functionality is also minimal. 4 sport modes - outdoor running, indoor running, cycling and walking. There is no swimming, although the declared water resistance allows using the watch in the pool. There is also sleep monitoring. All statistics are placed in a smartphone application - there is nothing superfluous on the watch, which, together with the use of a transflective display, makes it a leader in terms of autonomy - up to 30 days without charging. Of course, there is no question of installing third-party software and at least some memory allocated for the user. There is no player for syncing music from a smartphone either. The sensors include a heart rate monitor and a compass. There is a GPS module. Communication functions - view notifications, vibration on incoming calls. The watch case, unlike its expensive competitors, is made of plastic. At the same time, it is of high quality and can be of 4 colors: black, white, gray, orange. The rubber straps are also available in 4 colors, with the orange color being replaced by blue for some reason. But this is not a problem, you can select another compatible strap. That's why you can't go anywhere - because of the clumsy design - the watch looks rather old-fashioned. This is compounded by the graphics of the display, worthy of Tetris from the 90s, the quality of the dials. Nevertheless, taking into account the price, the model remains one of the most popular in our country.

pros

• Price.
• Autonomy.
• Moisture protection.
• Little weight.
• Ease of operation.
• No extra functionality.

Minuses

• Modest functionality.
• Design - thick screen bezels.
• Small display.
• Transflective display image quality.
• Few dials.
• Bluetooth v 4.0.
• There is no built-in memory available to the user.
• No security lock possible.
• Cannot perform multiple tasks at the same time.
• Unable to install third party applications.
• You cannot answer calls.
• No WiFi, NFC.
• Usability and interface of the Amazfit program.
• The protective glass is prone to scratches.
• The quality of the complete strap.

The model is suitable for undemanding users. It has only the most necessary functionality, but it is easier than expensive counterparts in terms of management. Not a bad option for children and teenagers. Agree to accept the loss or damage of watches for 5,000 rubles, much easier than those that are several times more expensive. I still advise athletes and advanced users to pay attention to Amazfit GTS - more sports options and the ability to control the player of a paired smartphone. If your watch requires independent music playback in headphones via Bluetooth, pay attention to the middle price range (HUAWEI Watch GT 2 Sport or HONOR MagicWatch 2). And, of course, we are waiting for the global version of Xiaomi Mi Watch - the model promises to be the best in its price segment.

TOP 5 children's smartwatches

Life Start Button

It is a stylish gadget that is concerned about the safety of children. Its design includes a clock, telephone, GPS tracker and flashlight. For safety, there is a shortcut button for SOS help, if a child gets into a dangerous situation, one press will notify the parents about this, and the location can be tracked using a GPS tracker. If the watch was removed from the hand, an immediate notification is also received about this.

The watch is used like a phone: a SIM card is installed and it can receive / send messages and calls. At any time, you can call the child on the clock and listen to what is happening around.

The child will always be under supervision, its location is determined with an accuracy of 6 meters. You can set the boundaries of the safe zone, then when you go beyond it, you receive a notification. The history of movements is available. To get all the information from the watch to your phone, you need to install the free Knopka911 application.

Benefits:

1. Bright color touch screen.
2. A limited list of numbers for incoming and outgoing calls is established.
3. You can listen to your surroundings at any time.
4. Native smartphone app.
5. Determines the location by GPS.
6. They sit comfortably on the hand.
7. Bright, interesting design for children.
8. Calorie and sleep monitoring.

Disadvantages:

1. Low battery capacity, sometimes not enough even until evening.
2. In the absence of communication with satellites and location by LBS, too large a spread in the location determination begins - from 50 m to 2 km, which is quite logical.
3. Doesn't connect to Wi-Fi.

This watch was conceived as a relatively inexpensive gadget that ensures the safety of a child, but in fact the product is damp. The features are good, but their performance is poor. Users note the incorrect operation of location determination: for it to work accurately, a constant connection to the Internet is required. The battery quickly loses its capacity, the charge lasts for 3-4 hours. Pedometer is often wrong.

In general, the idea is not bad: the speaker on the watch is very loud, the child is heard well, you can listen to what is happening around him at any time. Small audio and text messages can be sent. That is, the watch can completely replace a child's phone, allow you to track his location, send an alarm signal in case of danger. But for 1900 rubles such flaws are forgivable.

Jet kid swimmer

The standard functionality includes an SOS button, the ability to make calls and receive messages, as in a regular phone, but provided that a SIM card is installed in the clock. You can call and listen to what is happening around. Geolocation: displaying the location on the map, setting a geofence with an SMS notification about leaving it, viewing the history of movements.

The main difference from the previous model is the camera, and you can use it from the clock and using a special application.That is, the parent himself can take pictures from the child's watch using his smartphone. Waterproof. The interface is child-friendly, bright and interesting. The smartphone app has been developed in conjunction with the watch motherboard manufacturers, which promises adequate performance.

Benefits:

1. They sit well on the arm.
2. App-controlled camera.
3. Easy connection to a smartphone - scanning a QR code.
4. Anti-lost function - search for hours in case of loss.
5. Setting up a safe area.
6. Water resistant, you cannot swim and immerse in water, but if accidentally wet, the watch will withstand it.
7. Relatively accurate geolocation.
8. Connection to Wi-Fi, Glonass.

Disadvantages:

1. Low battery capacity.
2. The charging method is inconvenient, it is difficult to install the watch on the contacts, and it often leaves during recharging.
3. There is no indication that the watch is removed from the hand.

The watch has slightly fewer errors than the Start Life Button, but their average price is higher - about 2700 rubles. The sizes of the watches are the same. There is no camera in the Life Button, but even in the Jet Kid Swimmer it is of low quality: it will not be possible to take a high-quality selfie from them, only to get a rough overview of everything that is happening around the child. The screen resolution is also higher than in the Life Button, the same resolution in the rating is only for ELARI KidPhone 3G. This watch also has the highest battery capacity among all. The screen diagonal is 1.44 ″, as in the Life Button, the same screen size as in the Jet Kid Scout, we will consider them further.

In general, the watch is not bad for the money. Some users complain about the difficulties of connecting to a smartphone, sometimes the IMEI does not match on the watch and on the box, which causes difficulties with pairing in the application. There are a number of users who are dissatisfied with the quality of location determination, but cheaper Chinese-made analogues give an even greater error. You can take this money.

Smart Baby Watch T58

The watch does not offer anything new that we have not yet considered in previous models, I will not repeat myself - receiving calls, wiretapping, locating. There are no cameras like in Jet Kid Swimmer. The average price did not go far from them - 2800 rubles.

Benefits:

1. Nice design, like children of all ages.
2. Easy setup, can be connected to native app or others.
3. Accurate location determination.
4. Convenient control system with two buttons.
5. Small size of the watch.
6. 2G support.
7. Wi-Fi connection.
8. Long battery life - up to 96 hours in standby mode.

Disadvantages:

• The screen is not bright, but monochrome, easily lit by the sun.
• No vibration.
• The screen is not touch-sensitive, but the control is successfully realized by means of buttons.
• Fragile display glass (cracks quickly).
• Not protected from moisture.

The watch is very good, especially considering its price. For a more accurate location determination, I advise you not to install the native AIBEILE application. It is better to use third-party software - "Where are my children", disabling location detection via cellular networks. The speaker and microphone work well, but there is no vibration, which is not always convenient.

Please note that the screen is monochrome, dark and with blue letters. If you want a brighter and bigger screen, I recommend Jet Kid Swimmer - the screen size is larger, like the watch itself, higher resolution, color touchscreen, but no 2G support.

Plus, Smart Baby Watch T58 can include work with early operating systems - ANDROID 4.0, IOS 6, other models work only with later versions. If you need a watch with water protection, I recommend the Jet Kid Swimmer or ELARI KidPhone 3G. True, the latter will cost more, but they are also more interesting in functionality, then we will consider them in detail. The watch is good, I recommend it for purchase.

Jet kid scout

All the same standard functionality for children's watches. The difference from the Jet Kid Swimmer is a lower degree of protection, withstands splashes, direct exposure to water is not recommended, there is no camera. The sizes are exactly the same. The Scout uses a micro-SIM, the Swimmer nano-SIM, but this is a minor difference. They support 2G, Swimmer does not have this feature, but they have better screen resolution and a Wi-Fi connection. The battery capacity of the watch is the same.

Benefits:

1. Large, easy-to-use screen, child-friendly interface.
2. Off-hand sensor.
3. Connection to 2G.
4. Loud speaker, clear sound.
5. Connected to Glonass.

Disadvantages:

• Bad battery: the charge lasts only 1-1.5 days, quickly loses its capacity.
• Quite a crude application, bad Russification.
• No Wi-Fi connection.
• Inconvenient charging socket: the protective cap is difficult to pick up and easy to tear off.

Nice and comfortable watch, accurate geolocation, normal call quality. Even a mathematical game has been installed, although this can be attributed to the disadvantages - there are more reasons to be distracted during classes. If you want a watch with more dust and moisture resistance, then take a closer look at the Jet Kid Swimmer or ELARI KidPhone 3G. The latter offer vibration, 3G and a 2MP camera with video recording capabilities, and they have built-in 4GB memory.

The screen resolution is low, comparable to the Start Life Button, but enough for a watch. In terms of battery capacity, they are similar to the previous models considered, you should not expect a lot of autonomy, you will have to charge it daily. The charging method is better than the Jet Kid Swimmer, there is no such difficulty in connecting to the contacts. The watch is good, I recommend it for purchase.

ELARI KidPhone 3G

The price of this watch is about 5 thousand rubles, but their functionality is also more interesting. In addition to the standard functions that have already been considered in previous models, there is a lot more interesting, especially the fact that the clock works on the ANDROID OS. There is support for the voice assistant "Alice", video communication, a pedometer, implemented in a game form, a 2 MP front camera. In the watch, you can remotely set the alarm, change the menu design, there is vibration. Protected from moisture, Internet access - via 3G and Wi-Fi.

Benefits:

1. All the necessary functionality for the safety of the child.
2. They run on ANDROID OS but are compatible with IOS.
3. Protected from dust, moisture.
4. Vibration.
5. Camera with video recording and video communication.
6. Good screen resolution and diagonal.
7. Internet access - via Wi-Fi and 3G.
8. The voice assistant "Alice" is installed.
9. When the SOS function is activated, the audio recording of the surroundings is automatically activated.

Disadvantages:

1. There is no function of receiving and sending SMS.
2. Pedometer readings are inaccurate for the indicated cost (shows too many steps taken).
3. The smartphone app is poorly optimized for IOS above version 10 inclusive.
4. The removal of the watch from the hand is not determined.
5. Brittle glass.
6. Frequent software freezes, information in the application is updated for a long time.

The watch is interesting, there is a voice assistant with which the child can communicate and even play, a camera with video support, but the watch itself is weak. Fragile screen, freezing software. But then there is support for 3G and Wi-Fi, a large battery capacity, good screen resolution. If you want to buy something cheaper with similar picture quality, I recommend the Jet Kid Swimmer: they also have Wi-Fi support and a camera, but without video recording.

The watch is quite expensive, but provides a lot of functionality. Do not expect quick work from them, but they cope with the function of communication with the child and control over him.

A very good bracelet for little money. Price - 2500 rubles. If you don't play sports professionally, you will find all the necessary functionality in it. There are slight slowdowns and flaws, but not critical. High screen resolution, large battery capacity. Please note that there is no timer or stopwatch in the watch. If these functions are important, pay attention to Amazfit Cor or Xiaomi Mi Band 4. These models have a similar price, with a scratch-resistant screen, the battery capacity in Xiaomi is lower, but connects to the “Smart Home” system, has voice control.

Amazfit Cor

The bracelet is slightly more massive than the previous one in the rating, but it also has a larger diagonal, the largest of all bracelets in the rating - 1.23 ''. On the screen, you can see notifications in all details. In standby mode it works a little less than the previous one - 288 hours versus 336. The bracelet frame is made of stainless steel, the glass is 2.5D, it can withstand pressure up to 5 ATM, you can train and not be afraid to damage the bracelet.

Protected from water, can be used while swimming and swimming. The bracelet monitors the health status 24 hours a day, counts the consumed calories, heart rate, monitors sleep, etc., analyzes and gives useful recommendations for improvement. All training information is displayed on the screen in real time. Easy change of straps (6 colors).

Benefits:

1. Nice design of the bracelet itself, looks good even on a woman's hand.
2. Bright display.
3. Good functionality, quickly and without glitches connects to Android.
4. High autonomy. The battery lasts up to 10 days.
5. A necessary set of workouts.
6. A set of interchangeable dial designs.
7. Conveniently implemented charging (on a magnet).
8. Water resistant.
9. Displaying notifications from the phone, weather, and other necessary information.

Disadvantages:

1. Not very convenient fastening of the strap: it often unfastens, and the bracelet tries to fall off the hand.
2. Quite massive, but it is compensated by the screen diagonal. Due to its large size, it often clings, which increases the likelihood of breaking the screen or losing the bracelet.

The price is 3 nsc / rubles, but the model provides good and all the necessary functionality with high autonomy. The battery can work up to two weeks, a week - with very active use. Good value for money, the bracelet can be recommended for purchase.

The screen technology is IPS, but it differs slightly from AMOLED, which the Honor Band 5 is equipped with. As mentioned above, the largest screen diagonal. This is both a plus and a minus at once: the bracelet is more massive, clings, sometimes tries to slip off the hand, constant contact with objects increases the likelihood of breaking it. But at the same time, more characters fit on the screen with a large diagonal: it has become more informative than in Honor Band 5. With an increased diagonal, the resolution is slightly lower. There is a timer, stopwatch, which Honor does not have.

Xiaomi Mi Band 4

The functionality of this bracelet differs from the previous ones in the rating; it is equipped with a microphone and voice control. There is a gyroscope. The pulse is constantly monitored in real time. By analogy with Amazfit Cor, it is equipped with a stopwatch and timer. High autonomy - up to 480 hours of operation. Another important advantage over others is that it can connect to the "Smart Home" system, if it is relevant for you. The screen is easy to read in bright sunlight. A large selection of screen designs to choose from - about 77.

The bracelet has undergone many changes in comparison with previous generations of Xiaomi bracelets: the screen has become colored, but the battery life has not changed and remained at the level of 20 days without recharging. The screen has become larger and contains more information. A voice assistant has appeared, with its help you can control the bracelet. The sensors have been updated, now measurements of physical activity have become even more accurate. In general, many surprises await users who are accustomed to previous generations.

Benefits:

1. The screen brightness is adjustable.
2. Large selection of workouts.
3. Playlist management on a smartphone.
4. Waterproof.
5. Voice assistant.
6. Connection to the "Smart Home" system.
7. High autonomy.
8. Timer, stopwatch.
9. High measurement accuracy.

Disadvantages:

1. The charging is inconvenient, it is difficult to get the capsule out of the bracelet, in addition, it is highly likely to break.
2. The pedometer counts steps only when you move your hands, for example, if you roll the stroller, the steps are not counted.

Xiaomi has released an excellent bracelet with a reasonable price - 3 thousand rubles. It performs all the functions assigned to it, and also additional "buns" in the form of a connection to the "Smart Home" system and a voice assistant. I can call this bracelet the best in its price segment. The battery holds for a very long time, the connection with the phone is not lost, users do not notice freezes and errors in work. There are some minor flaws in the pedometer and inconvenient charging, but for 3 thousand it cannot be called critical.

There is no GPS in the bracelet; if you are interested in this feature, take a look at HUAWEI Band 3 Pro. It has better screen resolution with a similar diagonal and the same AMOLED technology. Weather alert, but HUAWEI doesn't have a microphone or voice assistant. It's hard to find a worthy competitor to this Xiaomi model.

HUAWEI Band 3 Pro

The only one of all bracelets in the rating with GPS, which increases the accuracy of calculating the distance traveled, the price is slightly higher than the previous ones - 3,500 rubles. The screen diagonal is standard - 0.95 '', only Amazfit Cor has more. But at the same time a very high screen resolution. For sleep monitoring, TruSeen technology was introduced, it uses infrared radiation and artificial intelligence elements, data on the heart rate is provided with an accuracy of a second. Sleep monitoring is similar to Honor Band 5, since it uses the same technology.

Benefits:

1. Waterproof.
2. Good sync with your phone.
3. Smart alarm clock works very efficiently.
4. Bright good screen.
5. Perceptible vibration.
6. Good sleep monitoring and analysis.
7. A necessary set of workouts.

Disadvantages:

1. Informative application.
2. Low autonomy compared to competitors: one charge holds up to 3 days, with the GPS always on, the charge lasts up to 7 hours.
3. Poorly reads indicators while swimming.

It differs from Honor Band 5 only in slightly expanded functionality: added GPS, gyroscope, constant heart rate measurement with a report up to a second. The rest of the models are similar. The price for HUAWEI is also higher - it is more expensive by 500 rubles.

The main disadvantages are not in the bracelet itself, but in the attachment attached to it. It is uninformative, does not give hints, does not notify about an increase in heart rate (everything needs to be checked manually, the application only shows all the information). But this is not particularly critical, it does not affect the work of the bracelet itself. But if you play sports professionally, then this bracelet may not be very convenient for you. Take a closer look at the Honor Band 5: it provides alerts for exceeding heart rate, training recommendations.

Samsung Galaxy Fit

The rating is completed by a Smart-bracelet worth 7 thousand rubles, but its functionality is rather modest. For example, there is no GPS, voice control, as in the HUAWEI Band 3 Pro and Xiaomi Mi Band 4. The bracelet contains all the necessary functionality, the case is durable, lightweight, fits comfortably on the hand, protected from damage, gives access to your achievements at any time easy movement of the hand. The manufacturer claims that the bracelet can be safely used for swimming, rock climbing and other sports where there is a high probability of breaking the screen - it is protected from dust, water, and has high durability.

Benefits:

1. Accurate measurement of indicators, studies the quality of sleep and stress levels.
2. Sufficient set of workouts.
3. Works well in water.
4. High autonomy - works up to 3 weeks on a single charge.
5. Contactless charging.
6. Comfortable strap.
7. High-quality assembly and materials.

Disadvantages:

1. The pedometer responds to any hand movement.
2. When the heart rate rises above 140 beats, measurement inaccuracies begin.
3. Night mode must be turned on manually.

Compared to Xiaomi Mi Band 4 and Honor Band 5, only the quality wins.The measurement accuracy of these bracelets is higher, the autonomy is also at the level, the quality of the screen and its resolution are the same, but the price is two times lower. When buying a Samsung Galaxy Fit, you are simply overpaying for the brand and quality of the material. Of course, it will last longer than the listed bracelets, but this concept is relative, depending on the mode of use. If you are not sorry to pay 7 thousand rubles for a bracelet, buy, if you need a cheaper analog that will give more accurate measurements, take a closer look at other bracelets from the rating.
