Which connected watch to choose?

« There are two main categories of connected watches. On the one hand, those offered by smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung, Huawei or Apple and on the other models that come from the world of sport with Garmin and Polar“says Camille Gruhier, journalist at the magazine Que Choisir.
In its June issue, the consumer association tested a dozen models of connected watches. “Overall the results are good, the watches are quite readable. If we go into the detail of the test, there are differences but overall it’s a fun enough accessory to accompany your summer. »

Calls, messages, statistical data on physical activity such as the number of steps or the elevation of a hike, heart rate sensor… Connected watches have more and more features. “Some call for help if you fall suddenly, others allow you to pay for a purchase, you no longer need to take your bank card out of your bag.adds Camille Gruhier who tested twelve connected watches.

« In the sports category, our top pick is the Garmin watch (Forerunner 55). There are others but this one is very good. Among the models from the world of smartphones, we have selected the brands Samsung (Galaxy Watch 4) and Huawei (GT 3 Active). They do the job very well. »
