withings bpm core review withing 9

Withings BPM Core Review: Two out of three is just OK

Withings BPM Core is the world's first blood pressure monitor to include an ECG and a digital stethoscope. Being the first is not always the best and, unfortunately, the BPM Core broke my heart by failing to deliver on one of the device's key metrics. It's also expensive at $250.

Withings Connect review: Easy blood pressure monitoring

Withings is back at it again taking bland medical devices and transforming them into stylish, portable companions to monitor your health. The Withings Connect is exactly that. We used it everywhere -- even the doctor's office. It's so easy and accurate I almost couldn't stop using it.

huawei watch gt review feat

Huawei Watch GT review

The Huawei Watch GT shows what Huawei can do when it ditches Google’s Wear OS and comes up with its own smartwatch operating system. The result is a stylish watch with amazing battery life, and some strong fitness tracking features, but with some surprising omissions that limited the device’s audience.
Huawei Band 3 Pro review

Huawei Band 3 Pro review

Huawei’s latest fitness tracker is the Huawei Band 3 Pro. At $70, the Band 3 Pro is meant to be a versatile device that can be worn both day and night while also providing advanced fitness tracking when you need it. But with very few differences from its predecessor, is it worth the upgrade? Find out in our Huawei Band 3 Pro review.

Garmin Vivosmart 4 review

On paper, Garmin's latest fitness band, the Vivosmart 4, hits the mark with its stylish design, a pulse ox sensor, and innovative features like body battery. How do these features measure up in real life? Are they worthwhile or a waste? We put the Garmin fitness tracker to the test to find out.
mobvoi ticwatch s review feat

Mobvoi Ticwatch S review

Mobvoi’s Ticwatch S is one of the most affordable Wear OS smartwatches on the market. For $160, you’ll not only get built-in GPS but also a heart-rate sensor -- adding more capability to your workouts and daily activity tracking. But are the features enough to look past the unique design? We take a look in our review.
Casio G-Shock GBA-800

Casio G-Shock GBA-800 review

Is there still a place for a simple activity tracker? Casio has shown there is, provided it looks nothing like a basic fitness band at all. This is the GBA-800, a watch in the classic G-Shock style with activity tracking technology inside. We’ve been wearing it.
polar m430 review rock feat

Polar M430 review

Primogenitor of the heart rate sensor, Polar has fallen behind other fitness tracking companies like Fitbit and Garmin in recent years. With waterproofing and a large suite of fitness tracking tools, does the $200 Polar M430 have enough to leverage Polar's strengths for a new market?

Smart Baraka review

Smart Baraka hands-on review

You want to wear a fitness tracker, but not one that only looks good with gym-wear? This is the Smart Baraka, made by Italian men’s jewelry-maker Baraka, which will look equally at home in the office as it will in the gym.

fitbit alta hr tracker review 2925

Fitbit Alta HR fitness tracker review

The Fitbit Alta HR isn’t the end-all be-all of fitness trackers, but its heart-rate monitor and sleep tracking make it a great fit for casual athletes.
Whoop

Whoop fitness band review

Whoop is a unique wearable that constantly records your heart rate to determine what kind of shape you are in. That gives it features few can match, but it's not much fun to wear.

TomTom Touch review

Gone are the days when TomTom was only a GPS company – now its into fitness tracking. But can the Touch compete with the plethora of other options?
TomTom Spark 3

TomTom Spark 3 review

There’s no shortage of fitness trackers and sports watches by any means, but that does not prevent TomTom from having another shot at its popular Spark line with the Spark 3.
Mio Fuse review

Mio Fuse review

A quick glance at the Mio Fuse’s sporty design may leave you thinking it’s made to be worn when you’re building up a sweat. But with step counting and sleep tracking built in, it can be worn all day. But should it?
Uno Noteband

Uno Noteband review

The Uno Noteband is a wearable that uses clever speed-reading technology to make the most out of its tiny screen. The tech really works, so why doesn’t the wearable itself live up to expectations?
polar a360 review green time

Polar A360 review

We’re getting pretty picky when it comes to fitness devices, and the A360 is as close to perfect as Polar has ever come.
Upright Posture Wearable

Upright posture training wearable review

Forget hands-on reviews: We went “spines-on” with this posture training wearable, which is designed to stop you from slouching and get you sitting upright. How? By electronically nagging you.

Fitbit Surge review

Released almost a year ago, the Fitbit Surge offers GPS, continuous heart rate monitoring, and a slew of activity trackers. Despite a growing market, it remains a competent, smart choice.
