Among the best sports watches there are now some models that really are among the best current products on the market and ensure an excellent user experience. The current one is one of the best watches I have tested so far Apple Watch, the Garmin fenix, the Garmin epix, the Samsung Galaxy Watch, the Suunto 5 Peak, Suunto 7, Suunto 9 Peak and the Polar Grit X. Alternatively, the Huawei Watch GT 3 is said to be one of the best sports watches. However, I have not tried this model yet. The smartwatches mentioned have all proven to be very sophisticated and can be chosen according to personal preferences. It may be advisable to try out several models in the stationary shop and then make a decision.

In your Smart watch review (11/2021) Stiftung Warentest tested the best smartwatches of 2021. Fourth place was awarded several times, as the sports watches were tied in the test. Overall, the institution comes to the following ranking of the best smartwatches at the moment:

4. Apple Watch SE
4. Garmin Venus
4.Garmin Venus 2
7. Garmin Venu Sq Music

Important new models such as the Garmin fenix 7, the Garmin epix 2, the current Suunto models and the Apple Watch Series 7 have not yet been taken into account in the test run by Stiftung Warentest.

A sports watch is a watch that is worn during training - initially it was used to stop time. Later there were the first heart rate monitors to measure heart rate. Sports watches are now sports smartwatches that have a wealth of functions and provide the wearer with intensive support and motivation during training. The list of features that modern sports watches have is getting longer and longer. The most important features of modern multisport watches currently include:
- Measurement of the heart rate on the wrist
– Creation of an ECG
- Energy level measurement
- Oxygen saturation measurement
- Stress level tracking
- breathing rate
- sleep analysis
- Menstrual cycle tracking
– blood pressure measurement
- in the future: blood sugar determination

Sports watches and sports smartwatches are no longer toys, but very serious health gadgets that can really support users in their fitness efforts. In particular, functions such as heart rate measurement on the wrist and a reliable ECG have even saved lives in some cases. The other features also motivate the wearer of the sports watch to improve their fitness and live a healthier life. These include energy level measurement, oxygen saturation measurement, stress level tracking, heart rate measurement, respiratory rate, sleep analysis and menstrual cycle tracking - blood pressure measurement and blood sugar determination will be added in the future.

With each new generation of heart rate monitors, the models become more accurate. A recent evaluation by Stiftung Warentest (edition 12/2019) showed that the Apple Watch Series 5 with a grade of 1,8 is the most accurate heart rate monitor or smartwatch. It is followed by the Garmin Forerunner 2,2 Music at some distance and with a grade of 245.

It is followed by the Garmin Forerunner 2,2 Music at some distance and with a grade of 245.

An excellent GPS sports watch is the Apple Watch Series 5. It received a grade of 12 from Stiftung Warentest (2019/1,8 issue) for the accuracy of its measurement data and was chosen as the test winner among the smartwatches. The second precise smartwatch in the test was the Garmin Forerunner 245 Music.

The best multisport watches include the Garmin fenix 7 and the Garmin epix 2, which are excellent sports smartwatches for running and cycling. The Samsung Galaxy Watch and the Apple Watch very good because they deliver relatively precise measurement results. I'm getting very good results with that Apple Watch and Runtastic.

In my opinion, the Garmin fenix 7 and the Garmin epix 2 are the best Garmin watches because, as multisport smartwatches with many pre-installed apps, they are not only suitable for many sports, but also have an attractive appearance and the battery life is extended thanks to the solar panel. Another excellent Garmin watch for beginners is the Garmin Venu 2, which has a slightly smaller case, but also has a large range of functions and is significantly cheaper than the top model.

There are currently some excellent models on the sports watch market that are well worth a look. In principle, several factors play a role in the selection: functionality, appearance and quality as well as software. From that point of view, my favorites are those Apple Watch, the Garmin fenix, the Samsung Galaxy Watch, the Huawei Watch GT, the Polar Grit and the Suunto 9.

The Garmin Venu 2 is an excellent sports watch for cycling because the smartwatch has its own app for this sport. Also on the Apple Watch users will find a special workout for cycling outdoors - the pre-installed workouts on the Apple Watch are usually very precise.

There are now a large number of high-quality fitness smartwatches that can be used as a watch for sports in a variety of ways. The most important feature of a watch for sports is the optical measurement of the heart rate directly on the wrist. Measuring the oxygen saturation in the blood is also very important. The question "Which watch for sports?" must be answered individually according to your own preferences. The current best watches for sports are (in my opinion) the current ones Apple Watch, the Garmin fenix models, the Garmin Venu and the Suunto 9.

Both Polar and Garmin produce very high-quality and modern sports watches and sports smartwatches, which are currently getting a little bit better with each generation. In this respect, the decision for one of the manufacturers is purely a matter of taste. I tested the two top models from Garmin and Polar, the Polar Grit and the Garmin Fenix. In my tests, the Garmin fenix came out on top. In principle, however, both the smartwatches from Polar and Garmin are recommended.

Wearing a chest strap while running is a very precise way of tracking your heart rate during sports such as jogging, running, cycling, and many other sports. Unfortunately, the belt has to be put on very tightly and precisely in order to measure the heart rate. Modern sports watches and sports smartwatches therefore use an optical heart sensor to measure the heart rate directly on the wrist. At first, this method may have been less precise. Optical heart rate measurement on the wrist is now so sophisticated that precise results can be achieved and a chest strap is no longer necessary. The Apple Watch Series 5 was awarded a top grade of 12 as test winner by Stiftung Warentest due to its precise measurement results in the 2019/1,8 test.

I personally use the for running Apple Watch with Runtastic. For me it is the best running watch that reliably measures my heart rate, precisely records the distance covered and calculates my activity data very precisely so that I can get a realistic picture of my current fitness and progress with jogging. Other excellent running watches are the Garmin Forerunner, the Garmin Fenix, the Garmin Venu, the Suunto 7 and the Polar Vantage M.

The best Polar watch is the Polar Grit X, which I have tested extensively. It is designed as a multisport outdoor smartwatch and is very suitable for all sports outdoors and indoors. The sports watch is robust and functionally up to date.

As a good and cheap fitness watch, I can think of several models: On the one hand, the Garmin Venu is well suited as a cheap fitness smartwatch. It has a large, up-to-date range of functions and modern technology. On the other hand, I like the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 very much as a good and affordable fitness watch, as it also offers many current functions and at a comparatively low price. For Apple-Fans, on the other hand, have a predecessor to the current Apple Watch , which is usually offered at a reduced price.

The best fitness watches for beginners are the Garmin Venu, the Apple Watch (possibly in a previous version) and the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2. With these sports smartwatches, sports watch beginners get a solid gadget with the latest functions at an exciting price. The operation of the smartwatch is intuitive and the options for recording and analyzing health data are varied with the models.

If you want to buy a smartwatch for sports, everyday life, outdoor and travel in 2020, you should use a current model. The current Smartwatches 2020 include the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 (from August 2020), the Apple Watch Series 6 (from autumn 2020), the Garmin Fenix ​​6 Pro Solar and the Suunto 7.

The recording of an EKG is with the Apple Watch Series 4 to Apple Watch Series 7 possible. The recording was praised by experts and doctors and called accurate. However, it does not replace a check-up at the doctor's, but can only be seen as an additional backup that serves as an additional motivational aid to see a doctor if the worst comes to the worst. A smartwatch with an ECG should not be used for self-diagnosis. Other manufacturers such as Samsung now also offer smartwatches with an ECG.

A number of smartwatches are excellent for sports. Some of the top models that users should consider and maybe try before they buy include:
there is Apple Watch
– the Samsung Galaxy Watch
– the Garmin fenix and Garmin epix
– the Huawei Watch GT
– the Suunto 9
– the Polar Grit X

especially the Apple Watch and the Samsung Galaxy Watch, activities can be automatically recognized - provided users activate this function. In my tests, this functionality was slightly better on the Samsung Galaxy Watches than on the Apple Watch, as the smartwatches start recording the training earlier.

I think the current best smartwatches include a whole range of current models. Some of the top sports smartwatches that users should consider and maybe try before they buy include:
there is Apple Watch
– the Samsung Galaxy Watch
– the Garmin fenix and Garmin epix
– the Suunto 5 Peak, Suunto 7 and Suunto 9 Peak
– the Huawei Watch GT
– the Polar Grit X

In view of the abundance of products, many users ask themselves: which smartwatch to buy? I recommend users to try out several smartwatches - preferably in a brick-and-mortar retail store - before making a purchase and then make an informed, well-considered purchase decision. After all, you will spend quite a lot of time with the chosen sports watch and some models for sleep recording will even be worn day and night. The smartwatch models with which, in my opinion, you basically can’t go wrong include:
there is Apple Watch 7 and Apple Watch SE
– the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Samsung Galaxy Watch Active
– the Garmin fenix 7 and Garmin epix 2
– the Huawei Watch GT3
– the Suunto 7 and Suunto 9
– the Polar Grit X

Garmin smartwatches like the Garmin fenix 7 and Garmin epix 2 last the longest. Depending on how you use it, the battery lasts between 1,5 days and several weeks. The battery life is also extended by a solar charging lens under the display. Basically, it has to be said that the battery life of a smartwatch is very closely dependent on the intensity of use.

When it comes to the durability of a smartwatch, i.e. the entire period of use, the products of all major manufacturers tend to be extremely reliable. In addition, buyers in many countries have warranty claims if there are technical problems. In addition, you can often extend the warranty with special options. Nevertheless, a smartwatch is a commodity and every watch can break at any time.

Numerous smartwatches now have an Always On Display, in which the display remains permanently lit and does not switch off. This has the advantage that you don't have to turn on the smartwatch to look at the display. A whole range of models now offer an Always On Display. I have listed a selection below:
- Apple Watch from Series 5
– Samsung Galaxy Watch from 3 and Active 2
– Garmin fenix from model 6, Garmin epix 2
– Suunto 7 and Suunto 9 Peak
- Huawei Watch GT 3

There are now numerous good and cheap smartwatches on the market. If you don't want to spend so much money on a sports watch, you will definitely find the right model. I have already gained extensive experience with good and cheap smartwatches. The best models that are definitely recommended include:
– the Garmin Venus 2
there is Apple Watch SE
– the Suunto 7 and Suunto 5 Peak
– the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active

I personally could have a very positive impression of the Apple Watch SE received in gold, which looks very chic on women and leaves a very feminine impression. In particular, the smaller version in 40mm is recommended here. Samsung, on the other hand, has the smaller Samsung Galaxy Watch in its range, which also makes a feminine impression. And Garmin also has several very feminine models in its range with the Venu, the Venu 2, the vivofit and the Lily.

A good smartwatch costs between 300 and 1000 euros - depending on the model, budget and manufacturer. The materials used also play a role. If you want a watch made of sapphire glass and titanium, you usually have to pay more, while smartwatches made of aluminum or plastic with mineral glass tend to be cheaper.

There are a number of high-quality smartwatches on the market that are recommended, and new models are being added at regular intervals that are even better and have even more useful functions. My favorite smartwatches that I would recommend are:
there is Apple Watch 7 and Apple Watch SE
– the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Samsung Galaxy Watch Active
– the Garmin fenix 7 and Garmin epix 2
– the Huawei Watch GT3
– the Suunto 5 Peak, Suunto 7 and Suunto 9 Peak
– the Polar Grit X

The Apple Watch can take an EKG, detect signs of an irregular heartbeat, and detect possible atrial fibrillation. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 can also create an EKG and draw appropriate conclusions. She can even measure blood pressure. The use of a smartwatch does not replace a visit to the doctor.

If you want to buy a smartwatch now, several models seem to me to be the first choice. for Apple-Fans are the Apple Watch Series 7 and Apple Watch SE smartwatches that are obvious. If you tend to use Android, you can use a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. The Garmin fenix 7 and the Garmin epix 2 are also ideal for ambitious athletes and outdoor fans.

A good smartwatch costs between 300 and 1000 euros - depending on the model, budget and manufacturer. The materials used also play a role. If you want a watch made of sapphire glass and titanium, you usually have to pay more, while smartwatches made of aluminum or plastic with mineral glass tend to be cheaper.

How long the battery of a smartwatch lasts depends primarily on the intensity of use. If only the time can be displayed, the smartwatch can be used longer without charging, while intensive tracking or heart rate measurement will greatly reduce the battery life. The battery life of current smartwatches should be at least 18 hours - rather longer. Current models with solar cells, for example, last much longer and can be worn for several days without charging.

Yes, you can use Whatsapp with many smartwatches. Exactly how this works depends on the model. In the Apple Watch For example, you either have to install a third-party app or you can react to incoming messages directly using quick input.

Yes, you can write messages with most common smartwatches. Since the display of the sports watch is usually very small, typing is a bit difficult. That's why every manufacturer has developed its own strategy to make it easier for the wearer to enter the messages on the watch - for example by voice input or with a mini keyboard.

If you want to track your physical activity and fitness data, a fitness watch is a good option. Most fitness watches have sensors that record your heart rate, steps taken and calories burned. Many also include GPS tracking to help you plan your runs or bike rides. So if you're interested in keeping track of your fitness progress, a fitness watch is a good choice.

The best fitness watch is always the one that best suits your personal needs and that you like so much every day that you actually use it. If you're looking for a watch with all the bells and whistles, this is it Apple Watch, the Samsung Galaxy Watch, the Garmin Epix or the Suunto 7 are great options. If you're looking for a more affordable model, the Garmin Venu is the Apple Watch SE, the Suunto 5 or the Fitbit Versa 3 are good choices. And if you're looking for a fitness watch with GPS tracking but don't want to spend too much money, the Garmin Forerunner is a great option. So whatever your budget or needs, there is a fitness watch that is perfect for you.

There is no right or wrong answer to whether you need a fitness watch. It just comes down to your personal preferences. If you're interested in tracking your fitness progress and keeping track of your physical activity, then a fitness watch is a great option. But unless you're particularly into those things, you might not need a fitness watch. It really just depends on what you're looking for in a wearable device.

The Garmin Venu is a great fitness watch that is both affordable and packed with sports watch features. It has all the essential features you need to track your fitness progress and is also very affordable. So if you are looking for a good and cheap fitness watch, the Garmin Venu is the best choice.

There are many great fitness trackers on the market. So the choice of model really just comes down to your needs and budget. If you are looking for a fitness watch with all the finesse, this is the Apple Watch, Garmin Epix, Suunto 7 or Samsung Galaxy Watch is a great option. If you're looking for a cheaper option, the Garmin Venu, Suunto 5, or Fitbit Versa 3 are good choices. And if you're looking for a tracker with GPS tracking but don't want to spend too much money, the Fitbit Sense or the Garmin Vivoactive are great options. So whatever your budget or needs, there is a fitness tracker that is perfect for you.

The best sports watch for you is the one that best suits your needs. If you're looking for a watch with all the bells and whistles, this is it Apple Watch, Garmin Epix, Suunto 7 or Samsung Galaxy Watch is a great option.

So depending on your budget and needs, there is a sports watch that is perfect for you.

If you only want to use your fitness watch for the gym, I would rather use a simple model - this includes the Garmin Venu in particular, the Apple Watch SE, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active and the Suunto 5. The slightly cheaper Garmin Vivoactive is also worth a look as a fitness watch for the gym.

It all depends on your preferences. Today I would only buy a fitness tracker or fitness bracelet under very specific circumstances. Namely if you want to wear it together with an analog wristwatch. There are now so many good and cheap fitness watches and sports smartwatches that you actually make the better choice with them.

Yes, there is a difference between fitness trackers and fitness watches. Fitness trackers are usually cheaper than watches and usually don't have as many functions. They are more bracelet-shaped and more compact than watches. However, they are still great for tracking your fitness progress and keeping track of your physical activity. So it really only comes down to personal preferences and budget when making a purchase decision. I would only buy fitness trackers if you don't want to wear a smartwatch. Then you can wear your analogue watch and also the fitness tracker.

I've been with her very often Apple Watch swim and would therefore say that the Apple Watch is an excellent fitness watch for swimming.

It is best to clean your smartwatch very carefully with a little lukewarm tap water and a high-quality microfiber cloth. As a rule, even the microfiber cloth is sufficient without using water. You can use it to easily remove the dirt from the housing. However, you should make sure that your microfiber cloth is clean and that there are no grains of sand or the like in it. They can cause nasty scratches.

In order to beautify the battery, the charge level of the smartwatch should always be between about 20 and 80 percent charge capacity. That means you should avoid deep discharging as well as full charging. However, it must be said that the manufacturers of smartwatches have long since developed mechanisms such as intelligent charging to conserve the battery. They have also taken precautions to avoid deep discharge.

For beginners I would Apple Watch SE or the current Garmin Venu recommend. Both models are cheap, easy to use and have many current running watch functions on board.

Modern running watches have a whole range of features. Current models can really support you during training. They should include the following running clock features:
– Heart rate measurement on the wrist
- Measurement of running distance, steps and calories
– Recording of indoor and outdoor running training
– Energy level monitor
– Regeneration phase detection
– Fall detection
– SOS emergency call

Market Apple Watch Models have a very accurate GPS. However, it has to be said that the other manufacturers are also becoming more and more precise in their calculations of distances.

I would die Apple Watch for runners and joggers because I have been using them myself for many years and have had a lot of experience with them. It records very precise data that can be evaluated very clearly on the iPhone. It is also the test winner at Stiftung Warentest.

Current running watches are very accurate - both in terms of recording the distance and recording the heart rate. The top models from the well-known manufacturers all record data very precisely.

If you have a large budget, you can use the Garmin Epix for jogging. The smartwatch sets the highest standards and can also be used wonderfully for running. If your budget is a bit lower, you can use the Garmin Venu or the Garmin Forerunner.

I use these a lot for both running and swimming Apple Watch and have had very good experiences in both sports. The records of the data are extensive and precise. the Apple Watch provides various training modes in the operating system: running outdoors and indoors, walking outdoors and indoors, swimming in the pool and swimming outdoors. So you have the maximum choice for your workouts.
