Overall ratingVery good90/100
Very good88/100
Many smartwatches and fitness wristbands tested are truly multi-talented: they serve as heart rate monitors and altimeters, count steps, calculate the length of distances covered as well as calorie consumption and analyse sleep patterns. Some can also be used to play music, make phone calls or send and receive messages from messenger services such as Whatsapp...
Very good80/100
- The new accident detection has the potential to save lives
- Battery life remains weak
- Significantly more expensive than the predecessor
The Apple Watch 8 with watchOS 9 is and remains the benchmark for iPhone users. But: Almost all new functions, except for temperature measurement and accident detection, are also available for the predecessors via update. Only owners of older models will notice any real progress.
