@@TheQuantifiedScientist Happy New Year bro! Looking forward to what you have coming up next in 2024 🤘

Thank you so much Rob! Happy New Year!

Excellent review! Thank you for the best reviews of these devices available on youtube. Have been watching your channel for a while now and am still amazed by the work you put into making these reviews.

Thank you for this review, and continuing to review Amazfit watches! I just recently bought an Amazfit Balance and while I kept in mind all the previous results of the older watches from your review, I wanted to take a chance on this one. This review coming out now gives me more confidence I'll stick with it. Surprisingly, my few days of sleep with the watch have been accurate in terms of duration (sleep/wake), so this is where things my vary for each person.

You're so very helpful. Thanks so much mate!

Thank you for yours videos!

Great review! I really appreciate the data analysis, as an aspiring data analyst in training!

Thank you for the review !!

Thank you man. Love your work.

I came for a amazfit review and you eneded up changing my mind on it. Thank you for your hard work! The precision is really relevant for me! You're worth a sub for sure. Also I was really happy to see my hometown on your gps tracking to work

Really excellent to see so many companies making significant improvements this year! Next five years ought to be very interesting!

Thank you for still reviewing Amazfit watches Rob! I thought you had given up on them. I'm still waiting for the Huawei GT4 Pro to make my final decision as to which of the two will wrap around my wrist. After watching your review, the Balance is a good contestant, mainly because of the plethora of metrics that is providing.

Everytime i want to but new watch, i will find this King .. thanks a lot bro

Great job Rob

Thank you, Rob, for your amazing work. I would never buy a watch without first seeing your review. I was expecting the Amazfit Balance review since the watch was launched! You definitely make the best reviews!

Thanks so much Antonio! I appreciate it :-)

Please do a a video of the new Withings Scanwatch 2! Great video as usual!

Wow such a great analysis. Really wanted to see how much better the Amazfit Balance has become, since they've been pretty vocal about their accuracy improvements. This is my first time on your channel and when I saw the Balance vs heart strap analysis I was thinking it'd be great if this guy laid out how the other watches performed when set up with the same strap and BOOM there is was in the next minute. Really good job man, damn.

I really appreciate the hardwork you've put in reviewing these devices. Honestly most of the reviewers offer similar content on the devices. This sort of creates an echo chamber in terms of reviews which are not even evidence based. Keep up the good work! And I am waiting for your complete review of fitbit charge 6.

I appreciate that! It has been a busy time at work, so I haven't had as much time for KZread. I'll try to get it out soon :-)

Might be worth running some tests again on the Balance now that Zepp OS 3.5 and Zepp Flow just launched, could prove some improvements. Thanks as always for the precise reviews. I was tempted to sell my Galaxy 4 Classic for the GT4 but their app is meh...I am leaning towards the Balance.

What about huawei gt4? And Garmin 165?

Excellent review Rob, you gave me a laugh with the intro of a watch that doesn't suck haha. I have a question about the Huawei Band 8, have you tried it again? 2-3 updates came out that focused on the heart rate sensor, I ask because it has the same one as the GTR and in your tests it was a little better than those that have the TruSeen 4 sensor but not equal to the TrueSeen5

Great video! When do you expect to review the amazfit bip 5?

Love this watch!! Great review!

Awesome content. Thanks. What about the Suunto, have you tested that?

excellent work

Great to see Amazfit improving sensor wise. I wonder if the Amazfit Active also is as good as this one?

As always great work and thanks for the testing but what about the readiness feuture? Did you tested it in some way ?

Good job, Rob. Happy new year.

Aqui do Brasil. Parabéns pelos vídeos! Graças a eles comprei (na época) meu Huawei GT runner. Se possível gostaríamos de mais comparações da linha forerunner (265 por exemplo) da Garmin pois custam aqui no brasil 2, 3, as vezes até 5 mais que outros dispositivos que fazem as mesmas coisas, mas não sabemos se vale o investimento. Abraço!

Was just about to ask the same thing 😅

I like the addition of running into the testing procedure. I think that you need to test this watches also on another person. I know it is not feasible to do it in a detailed manner but even some very small test would be greatly beneficial to show between subject variability of results.

Superb breakdown of all sensors. It would be also cool to check if the barometer / altitude sensors are correct after calibration.

Happy new year rob! Could you possibly do a review of the Redmi watch 3 Active or Redmi watch 3. The watch 2 lite had some pretty accurate sleep tracking so I was wondering if the Watch 3 Active is an Improvement. This would really help since I'm not sure if I should buy it or not. Thanks bro!

The ONLY youtube channel going deep into the important stuff!!! I was wondering if you have plans on reviewing the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro? It's their first Wear OS device and the specs look top-notch. It's interesting if it translates to good sensors.

Love your video so much, hopefully famous branch will notice your great work and help you to get moẻ devices

Could you please test the Amazfit Active??? That would be great!

One question about the heart rate testing: Correlation for indoor cycling and outdoor running are both at 0.95. But outdoor cycling is 0.65. Given how the first 2 fared, there should be little reason why the 3rd fared given the 2 factors: indoor/outdoor and cycling/running. Another thing about this is the individual sessions analysis, there are outdoor cycling sessions where there are periods with totally missed signals (could this mean the watch wasn't worn properly, or maybe watch hanged?) and sessions where the watch performed to the level of the 0.95 tests. This suggests that there are perhaps other factors at play. On the sleep tracking, yea it has been mentioned by quite a few reviewers that it is generally inaccurate, whivh affects the readiness level as well. Hope Amazfit can solve this through OTA updates, otherwise it shouldn't be relied on for making decisions. And one last mention: Apple watches seem to be the most accurate but unfortunately can only be used by those with apple phones from what i'm aware of, same goes for samsung. Edit: I've read a number of comments saying the heart rate is very accurate for them when comparing with the polar heart rate tracking device, and some others that speak of accurate sleep stats from other videos. Given that sensors' results depends on many different factors including skin colour, weight etc., could it be an issue with the tester or the fit of the watch? This is only considering what was covered in this video, with at least over a dozen factors not mentioned.

Thanks ❤

Thanks 🎉

I love your reviews Rob, keep them coming. I think a lot of us that are waiting for you to review the ultrahuman ring. Can you tell me if it's in your plan to review it in the near future ?

as always, great vid Rob Hope you do a test on the new, fresh from the xiaomi oven - The Redmi watch 4 Aesthetically, the most refine xiaomi watch yet. I have feeling though the perfomance is still trash. I'll wait for your verdict. Cheers

Great videos! Can you test the accuracy of the CMF WATCH PRO byNnothing?

Hey, great video thank you for this. Can you please test Xiaomi watch 2 pro? Thanks!

I saw that you’ve also tested the Muse S gen 2 for sleep.. Could you please make a video on that? Would be great to see something else than wrist worn devices!

Could you please retest the Amazfit Balance as it recently had an update supposedly making the heart rate tracking more reliable.

Nice video. So which one is better, amazfit balance or huawei gt 4 ??

Hi, have you done a study of how different types of straps effect these type of watches? Doing that for every watch and strap combo doesn't make sense but it would be good to know if there is an impact with different strap types.

Hello, I was wondering if you could do a Full Scientific Review of the vivoactive 5. Love your videos btw.

I really want that Amazfit get succeed. They make really good and spending a lot of effort. I like their design. So I will be very happy if their accuracy gets improved.

Can you do a review on the North Edge watch? If possible, the E530 model. It advertises a lot of health tracking functions, and it even ECG analysis, but I do not see any reviews that supports this claims. Thank you!! I'm a fan of your channel anyway. Your review helped me be conscious of the supposed to be functions of smartwatches to us. And be more aware of the quality and value of the watches that we invest in. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

thanks for making thi video. seeing your chart 19:50, I am not sure how to read properly, is Huawei GT4 worse than Amazfit Balance for sleep? is it far worse or just very slightly? And for the overall score Huawei GT4 got 3.5 star, and Amazfit Balance got 3 star. So you still recommend more on the GT4 just slightly?

Which do you think is the best watch I can buy, especially regarding health?

@TheQuantifiedScientist are you planning to Do a Review for the Withings Scan Watch 2 any time soon by any chance?

Hi bro time to review redmi watch 4. I saw your redmi watch 2 lite is above average in overall rating. Thanks for the good work. 👍

Hello from Portugal, your reviews are unique and amazing, can you please check the new zepp update in the Amazfit Balance, its supposed to improve heart rate...etc tks

Thank you for the review and rigorous testing. Would it be possible to release your data?

Many thanks 😍😍😍. Can u pls take a look at Amafit active or Amafit active edge :>

Did you test the body composition accuracy sir?? Been having this watch on my mind for quite some time now but still having dooubt to choose between this one or pace 3 or might even considering galaxy 6.

Could you please make a review of the Suunto Race? I trust your results only.

Hello, would you please do a comparison of the "Oura ring" vs the " Ultrahuman Ring AIR" review? Thank you ! ♥

Hi, really great video, but now I am confused between Amazfit Balance and Samsung galaxy watch 5. As you gave them both 3/5. Which one will you suggest for normal jogging and weight training? Thank you!

Could you do a video with the Redmi Watch 4?

That's not bad 😊 I just bought amazfit balance and I like it, I think it's enough for me.

💯 Same here.

I just thought that in your b-roll on running you were shown holding a camera gimbal. You were speaking of low hand tension while indoor cycling and running. I imagine the hand holding the camera while running is under a very different situation than if you were running and not holding anything in your hand.

Please make a video on g shock dw h5600, it has a heart rate sensor and sleep tracking ,its made in collaboration with polar..it would be great if you reviewed it.

Hi Rob could you possibly review the new Redmi watch 4? Thanks 🙏

First Amazfit that don't totally sucks😂. Maybe (after an Amazfit that I had some years ago and that give me my first contact allergy) I'll give it a chance. Thank you for your detailed analysis!

Thanks for the test, please review and test Huawei Watch Fit SE

I love my balance watch. Unfortunately I scratched the screen within 5 days so make sure you get a screen protector. I've also got screen burn trying to polish the scratch out 😢

Any chance you could make those watchea ranking charts accessible and ready to download? Would be awesome to just open it and check whoch watch is most suitable for your own needs. Thanks

I'm interested to know which watch is better for you, the Amazfit Balance or the Garmin Vivoactive 5

Hi! Do you recommend any device to detect waking nightmare?

@TheQuantifiedScientist can you review the Amazfit Cheetah Pro. I’d like to know how it compares to Garmin or the Amazfit Balance. Thank you

For cycling and other strenuous activities best to pair a chest strap and use that.

Can you please review the Muse S Headband for Sleep Tracking?

Bro, pls review the amaz active series👍

The Amazfit GTS 4 had an update on November saying it has improved the heart rate algorithm. Would it be possible for you to test it again to see if there is a real improvement? (I know you have lots of devices to test, but it would be interesting to see if those devices could really be improved or is just marketing). Regards!

Can you test the zeblaze gtr 3 pro it looks really cool but I wonder if the health tracking is any good?

Should i go with Amazfit Balance or GARMIN vivoactive 5 ?

How can you compare agaiat venu 3? What is your thoughts?

I own a xiaomi mi watch I'm looking for an upgrade what would you recommend? I'm into fitness and I check my steps each day. Thank you!

I am planning to buy a swartwatch for my parents for the sole purpose of heart rate tracking, momentary tracking and alarm before something bad happens is preferable for me. Is there any watch like this? They are using android phones. Also a video idea for you, a review targeting old age problems and preventing them before they happen thanks to smartwatches.

Can you review the oraimo es2

Thank you 😊 it would be awesome that you would rank watches at the end of the video in the price category or recomend a watch thats better in this price category at that moment.

get yourself a fitbit inspire 3 for sleep tracking (£70), and a huawei watch fit 2 for heartrate (£100), and save yourself about £60 in the UK, unless your on IOS of course, in which case just get yourself a 2022 watch SE for circa £220

How about testing Amazfit Active? It has a good price/features ratio, and some KZreadrs are saying it is better at measuring HR than previous Amazfits

@@TheQuantifiedScientist I mean the HUAWEI WATCH 4 and HUAWEI WATCH 4 PRO, it's the same hardware but different presentation, one it's in titanium and another one come in a rubber band. I think is the last Huawei smartwatch pro version, is the next generation after huawei watch 3 but they have not done as much marketing as other devices. And man, I suggest you enable the subtitles and the title in another language, I am a Spanish speaker and I have not found anything similar to your videos, everyone speaks from experience and not from data. I think the Spanish-speaking community would really love your content.

i hope you do another test for gts 4 after the last firmware update.

will you create a review for ticwatch 5?

Rob, I'm not sure if you've done this already, but how about testing two Polar H10 side by side? I think this would provide some insight into how reliable and accurate it is to test smartwatches by referencing H10.

hi for sport and heart which is the best 2 watches ftom : huawie gt runner or huawie gt 3pro or huawie gt4 or amazfit balance or galaxy 5pro or galaxy 6classic
