Several manufacturers quickly jumped into the breach, taking advantage of the initial boom created by the launch of the first smartwatches. Garmin and Polar are probably the best known among sports enthusiasts of new technologies. But the market is never at rest as evidenced by the arrival with a bang of Fitbit or more recently of the Chinese Amazfit, a subsidiary of the giant Xiaomi. It is to help you see more clearly that we have designed this comparison of the best sports connected watches. You will also find advice on how to choose your future smartwatch.
The High-end Finnish smartwatch
Premium oriented, the Polar Vantage V2 is a very interesting proposition, although weighed down by a prohibitive price. Its case is imposing (47 mm) but not too heavy thanks to the choice of a combination of aluminum alloy and fiberglass for the materials. Five buttons allow you to trigger quick actions or navigate.
The 1.2-inch touch screen and 240 x 240 pixel definition doesn't really take advantage of the size of the case with the borders around it. The transflective panel has the advantage of keeping the screen on continuously without the battery suffering too much and offering good brightness to read the display without problems in direct sunlight.
Sport and Health is a big yes..
The Polar Vantage V2 relies on simplicity and readability in its interface. It's very easy to find your way around and you don't get lost in endless sub-menus compared to the Garmin Forerunner 745. Two different philosophies, it's up to you to see what your preference is.
As a result, we lose slightly in metrics on the Vantage V2 compared to its competitor, even if the experience remains very complete with, for example, support for cardiac load, running power or VO2Max measurement. Dozens of sports profiles are accessible and customizable, including a very well thought out multisport mode that surpasses that of Garmin. Sleep tracking is also better managed by the Polar
The connected watch learns from your habits and lets you know if you are going too hard compared to usual or on the contrary if you are slowing down. The coaching exercises are also a great added value.At this price, we expect a sports watch to also offer connected utility functions for versatile use. The Polar Vantage V2 does not meet expectations in this regard with basic music management and a not really practical notification system.
The autonomy is in the average of the genre, with an endurance of 6 days according to our measurements, with a daily sports session of 120 minutes with GPS activated. The energy saving mode is however effective in gaining many hours of autonomy without making big concessions on the functionalities. Recharging is fast: about 1h30.
· A Connected Watch with AMOLED Screen
Honor, known for its products at good value for money, is successfully trying to immerse itself in the segment of sports connected watches after having already convinced us with its Magic Watch. amazfit smartwatch The Watch GS Pro offers great features for a much more contained price than the high-end alternatives presented earlier.
With its 48 mm case and its metallic crown that stands out, the smart watch does not go unnoticed. Do not panic, it is not that heavy with its 76 grams.
The screen is a success, and for good reason: it is the same 1.39-inch AMOLED touch panel and 454 x 454 pixel definition that we already find on the Huawei Watch GT2 Pro, one of the best connected watches of all categories. Brightness, contrast, colors, there is nothing to complain about. The choice of dials is very wide with a catalog of more than 100 options.
