What's up guys, Chigz here from Chigz Tech Reviews
So we have seen some amazing smart watches this year.
The competition has been real tough and we've been rewarded with choice.
So in this video i will share with you my favorite picks from over a
hundred different smart watches that i have already reviewed this year.
Now this video is going to be a guide to help you choose your ideal smart watch.
So first up we'll begin with the top 10 and
then we're going to follow up with some honourable mentions.
So the best smart watc h of 2020 top 10 starting from the bottom.....
So at number 10 we have.....
The Huawei Watch GT2 46mm model. Now this is a smart fitness watch currently priced at $154
and for that low price you are getting an AMOLED display, elegant smart design and it's
a lot cheaper than when it was first introduced. So that's my number 10, the Huawei Watch GT2.
At number 9 we have the brand new......
Zeblaze Thor 6.
Now in my full review, I call this the best full android smart watch money can buy.
The price is only $189 and you get full android 10. A 1.65" display
and you can even insert a 4G nano sim card making this a full featured smartphone on your wrist.
So number nine is the Zeblaze Thor 6.
Number eight we have.......
The Amazfit GTR2, priced at a modest $179
So this is actually a smart fitness watch it's 46mm in diameter with a 1.39" AMOLED display.
It's 5ATM and it has the most amazing offline voice control i have ever used.
Now this smart watch also features great health tracking
including SPO2 and a massive 14 day battery life.
So that's my number 8 the Amazfit GTR 2.
Next up we have two smart watches in joint 7 place and i don't have
the original box for either. But i have something which
resembles the box of the apple watch. So i'll just throw that in the middle.
Apple Watch Series 6 and Apple Watch SE
and i have only one of them available, as i actually had to return my Apple Watch Series 6
after realising that it's not that different from the series 5 or even series 4.
But the Apple Watch SE offers the real value it has all the
features of the Series 6 apart from ECG and SPO2.
So for a bargain price $279,
if you're thinking to get a new apple watch just save yourself some bucks and get the SE.
So swiftly moving to number 6 we have....
The Honor Watch GS Pro.
Priced at only £199. This is a surprisingly good rugged smart fitness watch with 5ATM
and military standard 810g durability.
To go with that you've got a nice looking 1.39" AMOLED display
and a huge host of health tracking features and, a massive 25 day battery life.
So a great rugged smart fitness watch, at number 6, you've got the Honor Watch GS Pro.
So next up position five it's one of my favourite watches....
The Huawei Watch GT2 pro.
So that's number 5 and i call this, the most stunning beautiful timepiece of the year.
46mm model. This is a smart fitness watch priced around £229.
You're getting a 1.39" AMOLED display, with the toughness
of sapphire glass, with a titanium body and smooth ceramic back.
This watch feels and looks like a $1000 dollar watch on your wrist.
But, it's not just a pretty face.
This watch has a comprehensive host of health features bluetooth phone calls and
5ATM goodness and a whopping 2-week battery life.
This could have been the best watch of the year, had it been a full-featured smartwatch.
With abilities like downloadable apps and third-party app support.
But as it is predominantly a smart fitness watch it takes position 5.
But as the best smart fitness watch in its class.
The absolutely stunning Huawei Watch GT2 Pro people.
What could be at number 4???
So at number four we have another favorite of mine....
So this is the Samsung Galaxy Watch OG 46mm model.
Yes the OG is still, one of the best smart watches you can currently buy.
The price has massively dropped since launch to only $229.
This watch is what i call a full featured smartwatch
so quite close to having a smartphone on your wrist.
You get a 1.3" AMOLED display, 5ATM, superb health sensors, an app store,
third-party app support and lots more.
Also the rotating bezel is the best navigation experience on a smartwatch
that i've experienced to-date.
The battery life is also pretty decent for a full featured smartwatch.
You can achieve between three to four days depending on your usage.
So that's one of my all-time favorites, the Samsung Galaxy Watch OG
position 4, for a much cheaper price.
So, absolute bang, for your buck this watch is.
So position 4, Galaxy Watch Original.
So next up position 3, what can it be?
Can you guess?
Well it's the....
Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2, 44mm model.
Now this watch has also dropped considerably in price since its launch
you can pick this up for £199.
You're getting exactly the same features and specs as the original galaxy watch,
but with a bigger display and smaller in overall size and weight.
Along with all the full-featured smartphone abilities, AMOLED display,
5ATM and nearly three day battery life and instead of a physical rotating bezel,
you get a touch bezel. Which is also equally gratifying to use.
So position 3, Galaxy Watch Active 2, and the price is too good to ignore.
and this smartwatch, i actually rate it, as the best smartwatch of 2019.
It's now in position 3, so definitely exciting to see what the next two watches are going to be.
So the best smartwatch you can buy this year,
position 2 is......... The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3.
Now i do have to confess, the Galaxy Watch 3 is actually,
the best smartwatch in the world right now,
and the only reason it's not in position 1, is the same reason i've shared in my full review.
So last four years Samsung watches have the exact same specs,
same processor, same display and the only thing extra in the Galaxy Watch 3, is
SPO2 and then they went and reduced the battery size to make the watch a couple of MM thinner.
It's a real problem. As every time i wear this watch,
it will not last more than two days, and that's just about two days with normal use.
So the battery has taken a hit. Does not feel like an upgrade, you can get the Original
Galaxy Watch for nearly $100 less, and the only thing you miss out on, is the SPO2.
Everything else is more or less the same.
Now on a positive note the Galaxy Watch 3 is beautifully designed
and retains that wonderful rotating bezel, that i have always loved so much.
So overall superb smartwatch, with amazing features, full-featured smartwatch,
but not great battery life.
So that is my love and hate relationship i have with Galaxy Watch 3,
Samsung i hope you're listening.
So number 2, Galaxy Watch 3.
So coming to number 1, the best smart watch you can currently buy in 2020
and i'm sure you guys could have guessed this one, It's gotta be...
MOBVOI's Ticwatch Pro 3
and guess what guys, you now have two models that you can choose from.
The standard model for $289 or a brand new cellular LTE model priced at $329.
Fortunately both smartwatches are exactly the same, same specs, same dimensions, same features,
everything is the same, but you've got added cellular capabilities and there's
a firmware update happening on one of them so i'm just going to leave that to the side.
So this is a Google WearOS smart watch. 45mm in diameter with a 1.4"
dual display so you get an AMOLED display with an FSTN display sandwiched together.
It has the latest Snapdragon 4100 with IP68 rating, 3 whole days
solid battery life, great health tracking, wireless charging and lots lots more.
In my full review, I call this, the best WearOS watch you can currently buy.
No other WearOS watch comes close, to this one.
But after using it for a few months i can confidently call this,
The Best Smartwatch of 2020.
This is a full-featured smartwatch, with an app store,
third-party app support, Google WearOS at its pinnacle.
The company Mobvoi, complete underdogs have earned this limelight.
A company which upgraded nearly every aspect of this new Ticwatch Pro 3.
Samsung, Apple and the rest need to take notes. This is how you make a new smartwatch.
Now on a side note when i started this channel, I bought the first ever Ticwatch One.
It was running their own OS, but it was amazing, there was no other smartwatch like it.
I actually still have that watch and thereafter,
i kept my eyes on this company. Acquiring every single smartwatch they release.
Because i knew one day they will be on top of the smartwatch game
and i was not wrong. Here they are...
They seem determined to achieve this and i feel they finally have.
So big CONGRATS to MOBVOI for giving us and designing, the Best Smartwatch of 2020.
But my hopes and expectations, are very high for Mobvoi.
Now so let's see what they can do with the Ticwatch Pro 4.
But for the time being if you're looking for the best....
This is the best money can buy, right now.
But we are not quite finished. The smartwatch world is quite extensive
and our requirements as individuals are different.
Some of you might be looking for something more particular and to
help you narrow things down i have a few more noteworthy smartwatches to share with you guys.
Ok, so what if you have an iPhone???
It doesn't have to be the latest iPhone 12 Pro Max.
It could be the iPhone 6, 7, 8, 4....
Any iphone that you have. Then the best smartwatch for you of course
is the Apple Watch.
Now you can choose Series 4, 5 or 6. They will all do the trick. Not much difference between them.
But the real value comes from the Apple Watch SE. Which gives you all the latest features,
just like Series 6, but you just don't get the ECG and Blood Oxygen Sensors.
So if you've got an iPhone, the best bet for you is Apple Watch.
Now if you're a fan of Google WearOS, and that's your requirement.
Then the absolute best Google WearOS smartwatch, you can buy right now, is the Ticwatch Pro 3.
It stands alone in this category, because there is no other WearOS smartwatch,
that is better, than this watch. Or even comes close to the Ticwatch Pro 3
and of course, it is now available in two flavours so standard version or LTE version.
So you've got the latest Google WearOS. But, the reason why this stands apart from the competition,
is because you've got the snapdragon 4100.
A very energy efficient designed screen technology and a massive battery life to go with it.
So the absolute best Google WearOS watch you can buy right now is the Ticwatch Pro 3.
Now if you need a smartwatch running full android.
Then the best ones i've tested this year has to be......
The Zeblaze Thor 6 and the Kospet Prime 2
and here they are in their full glory. Look at the size of the Prime 2.
Absolutely massive, with a rotating camera,
I haven't published the Kospet Prime 2 full review yet.
So that's coming up very soon, but i have been testing it and i'm very impressed, with these two.
They are both running full android 10, with full Google Play store, Google Maps,
Whatsapp Messenger, Snapchat.
They are basically android smartphones on your wrist.
Both of these are the most powerful, full android smart watches, we have seen to date.
They are powered by the Helio P22 with 4GB of RAM
and 64GB of internal storage and the difference between them is of course the screen size.
Take your pick 2.1" or 1.6" and i'll show you how they look on my wrist.
Massive, absolutely massive. These two are currently the best full Android 10
smart watches you can currently buy. Zeblaze Thor 6 and the Kospet Prime 2.
Now here is an important category for the small
wrist size. So whether you're a man or a woman, and you want something smaller.
Then the best small smartwatches are.....
First of all Apple Watch. So any 40mm Apple Watch is perfect, for small wrists.
I actually have a wrist circumference of 7 inches. So not small, but not very big either.
So i'm somewhere in between
and you can see how the Apple Watch looks on my wrist. So any 40mm Apple Watch.
You can also consider the Honor Magic Watch 2 (42mm) model and here it is
quick look on my wrist.
So very nice compact, light, The Honor Magicwatch (42mm) model
and the next two watches for the small wrist category are...
The Samsung Galaxy Active range.
So i've got the Active 1 here. This is the smaller 40mm Active 1 and this is the
44mm Active 2 and you can see that it's also quite compact in size.
and last one for this category is the Amazfit Bip S.
So nice small compact, waterproof, lots of great health features, Amazfit
Bip S. So that's some of the best watches you can buy for small wrists.
Now here is a category that absolutely, has got out of hand.
There are so many fitness trackers...
Different shapes and sizes
and they all have one thing in common. They are affordable, but not all of them are good.
Now i'm going to show you a whole bunch of basic
fitness tracking watches, which are actually really good.
So here's a bunch of great fitness smart watches. So first of all
The Haylou Smartwatch 2, and i'll put some of the specs and features on screen.
Small, compact, lightweight, it's a great watch um accurate health tracking and that's the key,
all of these watches, i'm about to show you, have accurate
health tracking, and they're very affordable.
So the Zeblaze GTS is one of the newer watches, that i've just received.
I have been testing it for a few days and i'm very surprised
to how accurate the heart rate sensor is.
You've also got blood pressure monitoring, which i can't test,
as i don't have anything to compare it to. But you also have a Blood Oxygen Sensor,
which is surprisingly accurate for an affordable fitness watch.
So the Zeblaze GTS.
If you want something really small, like a band.
Here is the Mi Band 5.
So basic fitness tracking capabilities,
very compact and accurate heart rate sensor. So that is the mi band 5.
Here is another new watch it's the Vibe 6 Sports Smart Watch, but it's basically a fitness tracker.
This one seems to be made from a complete metal body whereas the others were made from plastic.
So it does feel a lot more durable. it's in fact it's got a rugged
design about it and again you've got blood pressure monitoring.
You've got a heart rate sensor sleep tracking and all the other basic health tracking abilities.
Now what i like is again accurate health tracking,
affordable. This one looks to be designed as a rugged watch.
So that was the Zeblaze Vibe 6.
Now this one I do really like, it's called the Honor Watch ES.
It has everything that you would expect to find in a smart fitness watch.
It's got a nice slim compact design,
AMOLED display, really beautiful looking watch. Nice touch screen, pretty accurate
health tracking and I have done a full review on this which you can find in the channel.
So the Honor Watch ES, an amazing fitness tracking sports watch.
So those were some of the best, affordable fitness trackers you can buy.
and i think we'll finish off with a Wild Card category.
So 2 smart watches which surprised us. The Nubia Watch and the Wearbuds Pro.
So first of all the Nubia Watch. So a full screen, wrapped around your wrist.
A very unique concept. It's made from metal, premium build quality and very unique design.
and of course the wear buds pro, which have earbuds hidden inside the frame.
Again premium build quality, nice looking screen and with some basic fitness tracking abilities.
So two brands which tried to do something different um very daring move.
I've done full reviews on both of these, if you missed them...
So just search for Nubia Watch Chigz or Wearbuds Chigz and the videos will pop right up.
That was just an honorable wild card mention of two strange but uniquely designed smart watches.
So there you have it guys that was the Best Smart Watches of 2020.
I will leave links for all watches in the description box below.
I hope you all found this video useful.
Do let me know in the comments which smartwatch you are considering to buy and for whom.
Meanwhile thank you so much for watching
