I know I keep commenting this, but I truly can't commend you enough for these videos. These are the most important videos people in the market for smart watches should be watching.
This channel beats any so-called pro tech channels hands down. This is the real methodology coming from a real scientist not from a tech junk. I have recommended this channel to all of my friends and family members. I am really hoping that you will get calls from apple and samsung very soon. Best of luck sir. Hats off to you. Love from India
I rarely comment on RUclips videos, but I wanted to say you’re doing a great job comparing these devices. Looking at your numbers makes it a lot easier to ignore all the marketing noise and the multitude of uninformed opinions on the internet. Thanks!
This is a proper review. Tired of other channels talking how good are their trackers without comparing them to a professional one. Keep the good work coming!
It is CRAZY how the AW’s sleep stage tracking can be so accurate considering how infrequently the AW measures heart rate during the night. This indicates that wrist movement on its own is a great proxy for sleep stages. A perfect example of machine learning opening humans’ eyes to the potential of hidden correlations. Regarding GPS tracking, I think that for running Apple is relying more on the accelerometer to measure distance and pace than on GPS. Whoever has used the Stryd pod knows that accelerometers are better than GPS.
I've never used Apple products but it may be time to ditch the Android and Fitbit. Fitbit wants to charge monthly premiums for what's basically bad data. Apple has obviously put a lot of time and money into their health metrics on their AW. It's very impressive to see what they're able to do with sensor data on your wrist. I wish the battery life was better and it's cool that the AW Ultra has extended battery but my guess is they need to burn more power to get good sensor data. If you don't have good sensor data how can you have any kind of accurate health metrics? Apple is not only getting good data but they're figuring out how to write the software to use it most effectively. It's very impressive and I think it's time for me to just bite the bullet and learn how to use Apple products.... And how about this guy's channel? Apple should be paying him because he's not a fanboy and is simply showing their product capabilities. It's actually crazy how much better Apple is than Garmin and Fitbit when it comes to accuracy.
@@ericy1005 i agree, accuracy is the only thing that makes me want to buy apple watch. I don't like iphones, but for watch you have to buy. This is the only thing holding me back. I'm not gonna buy a phone just for using watch.
This guy is by far the best you tube reviewer I've seen in a long long time... Totally unbiased & driven purely by data from thorough scientific analysis. Buddy is there a patreon where I can support you?
You are the best reviewer ever. People need to know that blindly buying any cheap smartwatch (especially those *sponsored* ones in amazon , flipkart etc) that shows inaccurate information is such a waste and why Apple indeed makes the most scientifically proven smartwatches that can really save lives..and has saved many already :)
Yeah since this thing will die sooner or later buying the inaccurate one is just dumb better buy real watch at that point. Sadly i will never own apple products just out of my principle, since their stance on repair is just horrible.
Issue here is you cannot activate an Apple Watch without an Apple device. That alone steers the vast majority of people away and makes the Apple Watch a tie-in purchase. I only want to use the watch. I have no interest in being part of the Apple ecosystem.
Thank you so much for this analysis, Rob! After watching it, I decided to buy the SE 2022, and after 3 months of use, I'm quite satisfied with its performance.
So now that the sleep tracking is better than fitbit, would you recommend apple watch over fitbit for sleep tracking if price is not relevant? Did Apple also update the health app for sleep, or would I still need a seperate third party app?
Since the time I have found your channel I have not looked at any other tech channel or review for smart watches. This is all that's needed and anytime I am thinking of buying anything you are the first point to check. Absolutely fabulous 🎉 .
would like to see additional test on running and swimming hr. No worries about retesting all the previous models, but use a few common ones as a starting point would be great!
Do you think an SE is better than Series 7. I think a lot of people interested in getting a new apple watch might want to know which one of these 2 is a better pick.
Man, I love this reviews, they are so precise, and the best of all is that you compare results with other devices, which at the end of the day is what matters the most 💪
how is this channel not on the same subscriber count as MKBHD or MrWhosetheboss?? you give INSANE value to viewers! keep up the good work, used your amazon links to buy some stuff - hope it helps!
I have an Apple Watch ultra and just picked up a 2nd gen SE for sleep tracking because the ultra is a bit too heavy on my wrist. This is such a great review!
I follow you since the very beginning and think you’re the best wearable reviewer out there, especially for the accuracy of your scientific and statistical approach. However, for the sake of the quality of your videos, I would really appreciate to see bigger samples in your “full scientific reviews”. For example, a sleep monitoring test with a sample of two nights may be more appropriate for an “early scientific review”. I know the new Apple Watches have just been released and it’s a very hot topic right now, but on the other hand it’s difficult to understand the overall precision of a tracker in so little time. I’m writing this “critical” comment because I really think your videos are the gold standard for any wearable user!
Thank you for providing this information to the public! I can say that your videos have really helped me improve my life over the past years (with the help of your reliable information!)
Insane good reviews, Rob! Will you also do one for the new Amazfit lineup? Allegedly, they heavily upgraded their sensors (and now support chest HR straps via bluetooth) and the Watches were always interesting aside from the weak sensors.
Can you specify if you used the GPS + Cellular watch or the GPS only watch? This is mostly for the GPS tracking portion of the video. Also thanks for the comprehensive review and statistics comparisons
I am an android user since I had my first smartphone and now is srsly thinking of getting apple watch just because of how great the sleep tracking is but I know It would have incompatibilities with my phone (pixel) I'm just hoping the pixel watch would at least good as the apple watch or better than fitbit devices
@@Hlphlia.Mtnoia I wouldn’t count on it since the pixel watch is basically Fitbit. Fitbit was very inaccurate. I have a very big friend who doesn’t move much if at all during the day yet they have more steps than me by far. I have an active job. Maybe my Apple Watch is the inaccurate one and the fit bit is accurate who knows 😂.
Aww yeah part of me wants to be optimistic for the pixel watch but then reality kicks in that apple devices are more often than not is the superior. I own fitbit inspire 2 and noticed how it counts steps that I didn't take, for example I would wake up from my sleep and see that I have 32 steps when I was sleep the whole time? 😂
Appreciate your thorough work! Does the calorie counter work similarly between the Apple Watch SE and Series 8? Or does the blood oxygen monitor provide a more reliable calorie expenditure measurement?
You really are a legend, I have been waiting for this video ever since you said the se was getting another review. This has definitely helped me choose the best watch so thank tou
Hey! Thanks so much for those videos, so useful...currently trying to decide between a Google Pixel watch and the fitbit sense 2...are you going to review them? 🤞🙏🏻
This channel is SOOO GOOD, I am such a data person so you to put this information out in such a readable and understandable way is amazing! I also love how you included the first Generation SE watch. I had no idea there was too but I’m happy to see the first generation isn’t to far behind the new 2022! I would love to have the ECG and I work in a cardiology office however I love the sleep tracking now with the REM, Core & deep sleep function. Thank you!!
I also looked up some specs and it seems they have mostly (looks like different “S” Chips) the same specs! I’m hoping that means it works the same! Thank you again
One of my curiosity is wether if the new SE 2022 can understand wether you are riding an e-bike or a normal bike, considering different calorie burn rates...
Hey! How does the Apple Fitness app work? Is it enough to buy Apple Watch and pair it with your smartphone or do I need to pay for some premium subscription to get all the features (sleep cycles, zones, closing activity rings etc.)? Also- can you control Spotify on your wrist or it works for Apple Music only?
Thank you again for your work! In the spirit of most scientific methodology-do you account for different bands across Apple Watches, or do you use a standard, single band for all testing to equalize any potential fitting differences which might impact accuracy rather than the sensors themselves tracking differently? Put another way, you do standardize Apple Watch testing using a single band for all testing, or has each Apple Watch been tested with different band types inserting potential differences in fit across tracking? Given that all Apple Watches seem to perform similarly, I imagine the difference may not be huge, but I wonder how it may alter results (one way or another), if at all?
I typically do NOT comment on videos, but I absolutely love your analysis! I was, "on the fence" about purchasing the 8 or the SE 2022 and after your review the SE 2022 seems like a better fit for me. THANK YOU~
New Apple 2020SE or the Series 7 I can get both for about the same...which would you buy? Really care about the health metrics, Heart, Sleep, SP02 if avaliable.
Thanks for your amazing videos! I have used a Fitbit inspire 2 for a few months, I am mainly interested in sleep tracking. I have now purchased an Apple Watch SE (WatchOS 10) because, according to your tests, it seemed more precise on sleep tracking. Since a few days, I am testing both devices when I sleep (one per wrist) and, at least for recognizing awake time, in my experience the Fitbit works better: when I am in bed, trying to get asleep, breathing deeply, both the devices tend to mistake this as "light sleep" (even if I am sure I am awake), for the AW, however, this error seems much more evident. Also, during the night, the Fitbit record several micro awake periods that AW does not, I can't say which device is wrong, though. Any comments, advice or settings I could have missed? I am thinking about returning the AW (I am not very interested in the other smartwatch features) and continue using the Fitbit but I would like to be sure I am using the most reliable sleep tracker of the two. Thanks again!
Really impressive level of detail, data and clarity. The deepest and most comprehensive review of these types of devices that I’ve seen anywhere. Very well done. The historic comparisons to other watches are also very helpful. I don’t quite get your comment on steps while weight lifting, though: presumably you have to walk between exercises as you get off the bench, change weights, change exercise, etc - surely those are legitimate steps. Or am I missing something!?
Hey, thanks for the great video. Very well explained and nice graphics to show the results. I was just wondering: which software do you use to create these nice graphics? Do you program them yourself or is there any software out there for that? Thanks!
I have the Garmin Venu 2, and now I bought the Iphone 13 pro max, should I get the apple watch and sell the garmin? I like the body battery and other stuff from garmin, and I usually go for riding MTB. And here I can see the difference on accuracy between both (Apple is more reliable).
Great job on these videos. Nice to see someone actually reviewing the health tracking of these watches not just the features they offer. I'm really surprised by apple's new sleep tracking. Will you review the new Fitbit Sense 2? I'm really curious how it compares to the original Sense, which has really bad HR monitoring (especially during workouts)
@@TheJoy___ right now it is the apple watch. They just released an algorithm based on Machine Learning that is currently the vast sleep analysis algorithm in a watch. If you don't have an iPhone or don't want an apple watch, then a FitBit is the best choice for sleep tracking.
Lieber Rob, dass wäre so schön wenn du die ganze Videos auch mal auf deutsch drehen würdest. Ich kenne vielen die nicht Englisch können aber möchten gerne über deine Tests mehr verstehen und bessere Entscheidungen bei Kauf von Smartwatches zutreffen.
Please test the fitbit sense 2 when it comes out as it will be my sons birthday present for his 18th birthday and I want to truly know of its good for him. Thank you and love your vids, keep up the hard work.
I love the Apple Watch Health tracking. The only issue I have is when it’s tracking steps. As I am a full time wheelchair user, I have my watch set to pushes instead of steps. However, I do seem to get many steps during my day. Don’t know why this happens & i’m not sure if that effects my pushes count. Do other wheelchair users have this happen to them
@@India_first-k6n I do love my Apple Watch. It does really help me manage my disability pretty well. The steps issue is the only thing that iv’e noticed, but I just ignore them. I should submit feedback to Apple
@@WheelieGayJay hey, don't call yourself disabled. I didn't say anything because I don't want to sound cliche and all but I really admire you. And okay, I will buy one, probably SE 2 since it fits my budget well and only recently I bought iphone 13 also so am very new to the ecosystem. Can you please reply one last time about battery life? I mean I know the watch has to be charged daily but what I mean is that the watch will last 2-3 years right? I am not rich or above middle class so if I invest good amount of my money, I would appreciate if the product lasts for some time. :)
Hey, great content, thanks! Just wondering, did you ever do some research on the ECG and Bloodpressure functions? For many people I think it would be quite relevant before buying.
Hi Rob, I am totally impressed by the work you are doing. Could you add a short information to your reviews on how long the battery lasts during your tests and how often you need to recharge the batteries? One sentence and your subjective opinion would be absolutely enough. I think then your tests would be complete.
I came across your channel and since I am data scientist I am in love with your tests and graphs. I have a question for you, Is it worth it to pay extra just for the ECG, Spo2 and temperature sensors on the Apple Watch 8 given that I am male. I mostly care about health, sleep and fitness.
I like your channel because you show actual facts if the claims of the watch are actually accurate! I don't like tech influencer speaking only about personal opinions on a device.
Great videos. I’m considering an Apple Watch Series 8 or SE. I’m 70 yrs. old so I want to track my Health and Sleep. Apple states on their Store site that one of the differences is “ ECG app, With the ECG app, Apple Watch is capable of generating an ECG similar to a single-lead electrocardiogram. “ Is this important IYO?
I rarely subscribe to youtubers much less comment, but your approach to review is what I was exactly looking for! It helped me chose this watch for me and my dad. Tysm! I would also like to request, is it possible to retest the older version of the apple watches since, it can be that better tracking might also be a result of new os 9 which might have under the hood improvements for new and refined algorithm for sleep tracking? Would love to see that comparison! Anyways cheers mate! Keep those reviews coming
Got a brand new Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen for $150...waiting on it being delivered. My primary hope is to replace my Garmin Forerunner, which I use for all of my running. The only thing I'm a little worried about is the battery life of the SE 2. Outside of that, it just seems in every capacity it's a far better watch from a running/fitness perspective than any of the low-range Garmin (e.g., like the forerunner 45). Plus, all of the integrative features within the Apple ecosystem for productivity and general use with my iPhone.
Qusetion~I want to start using metrics for cycling and running. I thought i needed a chest strap but it seems that the new Apple watches are as accurate as a chest strap. Is there any reason to get a strap? HRV maybe? Thank you
Awesome! Finally a legit review! Just subscribed on your channel and I also purchased an Apple Watch SE 2022. Thank you for the great content. More power! Keep it up! 🤗
Can anyone explain me what are the dots on the health app for heart rate? Please! Are those just like single measurements instead of the constant doesn’t make sense to me
As a pre-doctoral data scientist, I love to see people actually analysing data rather than reading out the manufacturers specs. Thank you!
So true! I'm only a college student, but if I want specs, I'll check them out myself. These videos are great!
I know I keep commenting this, but I truly can't commend you enough for these videos. These are the most important videos people in the market for smart watches should be watching.

Great job on these videos. Nice to see someone actually reviewing the health tracking of these watches not just the features they offer. I'm really surprised by apple's new sleep tracking.
Will you review the new Fitbit Sense 2? I'm really curious how it compares to the original Sense, which has really bad HR monitoring (especially during workouts)
Hey man, I just discovered his channel and I really like it! I'm looking for the best sleep tracker, has he ever said which one it is?
@@TheJoy___ right now it is the apple watch. They just released an algorithm based on Machine Learning that is currently the vast sleep analysis algorithm in a watch. If you don't have an iPhone or don't want an apple watch, then a FitBit is the best choice for sleep tracking.
Lieber Rob, dass wäre so schön wenn du die ganze Videos auch mal auf deutsch drehen würdest. Ich kenne vielen die nicht Englisch können aber möchten gerne über deine Tests mehr verstehen und bessere Entscheidungen bei Kauf von Smartwatches zutreffen.
Would you get the 2022 SE or renewed Series 6 at 50 USD less? From what I can tell the 6 is better in practically every way unless I missed something?
😂😂😂
If you wanna 6 just buy it, but don’t beg for confirmations on your bad choice!
Please test the fitbit sense 2 when it comes out as it will be my sons birthday present for his 18th birthday and I want to truly know of its good for him. Thank you and love your vids, keep up the hard work.
Could u plz review some affordable smatwatches?
I love the Apple Watch Health tracking. The only issue I have is when it’s tracking steps. As I am a full time wheelchair user, I have my watch set to pushes instead of steps. However, I do seem to get many steps during my day. Don’t know why this happens & i’m not sure if that effects my pushes count. Do other wheelchair users have this happen to them
Thanks for the info. I guess I will just save money and not buy one.

@@India_first-k6n I do love my Apple Watch. It does really help me manage my disability pretty well. The steps issue is the only thing that iv’e noticed, but I just ignore them. I should submit feedback to Apple
@@WheelieGayJay hey, don't call yourself disabled. I didn't say anything because I don't want to sound cliche and all but I really admire you. And okay, I will buy one, probably SE 2 since it fits my budget well and only recently I bought iphone 13 also so am very new to the ecosystem. Can you please reply one last time about battery life? I mean I know the watch has to be charged daily but what I mean is that the watch will last 2-3 years right? I am not rich or above middle class so if I invest good amount of my money, I would appreciate if the product lasts for some time.
:)
Hey, great content, thanks! Just wondering, did you ever do some research on the ECG and Bloodpressure functions? For many people I think it would be quite relevant before buying.
Hi Rob, will you review the new Amazfit GTR4 and GTS4?
Can you do a review about the amazfit gtr 4 pleas
I'm trying to build something with Snowflake and Python - I was curious on how you export the data out?
Hi Rob, I am totally impressed by the work you are doing. Could you add a short information to your reviews on how long the battery lasts during your tests and how often you need to recharge the batteries? One sentence and your subjective opinion would be absolutely enough. I think then your tests would be complete.
Hey, thanks for all the reviews. When is the new Amazfit GTS/GTR 4 review coming out? (BIO TRACKER PPG 4.0)
I think you should also update the Apple Watch 7 to watch OS 9 and retest s7 again, so all the Apple Watch are in same firmware
I came across your channel and since I am data scientist I am in love with your tests and graphs. I have a question for you, Is it worth it to pay extra just for the ECG, Spo2 and temperature sensors on the Apple Watch 8 given that I am male. I mostly care about health, sleep and fitness.
Servus from Linz, Austria!. Exactly the kind of review I had been looking for. Nudges me well towards the new Apple watch SE. Thank you
0:25 what is the watch face and colour of it?
I like your channel because you show actual facts if the claims of the watch are actually accurate!
I don't like tech influencer speaking only about personal opinions on a device.
though might be late. is it worth upgrading my old watch se to 2nd generation se?
Excellent analysis. Consistent and thorough. Thanks.
Great video as always. I wanted to ask if anyone knows which app is he using while on the spinning test. Thank you!
Great review! Do you think the calories burnt is also great on the apple watch SE 2?
Great videos. I’m considering an Apple Watch Series 8 or SE. I’m 70 yrs. old so I want to track my Health and Sleep. Apple states on their Store site that one of the differences is “ ECG app, With the ECG app, Apple Watch is capable of generating an ECG similar to a single-lead electrocardiogram. “ Is this important IYO?
You’re the man! You should get a medal 🎖 this helps a lot. Your method and presentation is great. Thank you!
Would you rather recommend the SE2022 or the older flagship-versions series 7 or 6?
I rarely subscribe to youtubers much less comment, but your approach to review is what I was exactly looking for! It helped me chose this watch for me and my dad. Tysm!
I would also like to request, is it possible to retest the older version of the apple watches since, it can be that better tracking might also be a result of new os 9 which might have under the hood improvements for new and refined algorithm for sleep tracking? Would love to see that comparison!
Anyways cheers mate! Keep those reviews coming
Got a brand new Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen for $150...waiting on it being delivered. My primary hope is to replace my Garmin Forerunner, which I use for all of my running. The only thing I'm a little worried about is the battery life of the SE 2. Outside of that, it just seems in every capacity it's a far better watch from a running/fitness perspective than any of the low-range Garmin (e.g., like the forerunner 45). Plus, all of the integrative features within the Apple ecosystem for productivity and general use with my iPhone.
Where did you get it from? Is that deal still available?
Rob I am reviewing this before making my choice between watches. You sir have my business!
Qusetion~I want to start using metrics for cycling and running. I thought i needed a chest strap but it seems that the new Apple watches are as accurate as a chest strap. Is there any reason to get a strap? HRV maybe?
Thank you
What Apple watch band do you recommend for the best readings and comfort?
Awesome! Finally a legit review! Just subscribed on your channel and I also purchased an Apple Watch SE 2022. Thank you for the great content. More power! Keep it up! 🤗
Can anyone explain me what are the dots on the health app for heart rate? Please! Are those just like single measurements instead of the constant doesn’t make sense to me
