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.

I’m glad I found your channel, best review and test for smart watch.

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

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!

I rarely comment on KZread 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!

Awesome stuff Rob. Nice to see someone that is actually testing these devices not just saying a few keynote stats from Apple. Just ordered an SE 2022!

How are you liking it?

These reviews are truly amazing interms of depth and analysis! Quick question, are you considering analyzing the new pixel watch when it comes out?

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.

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 💪

You never let us down Rob. Thanks again for such a comprehensive review.

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?

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?

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!

Finally a review for SE. I really like the technicality of your reviews. Keep it up.

Was waiting for this to come out before buying it. Thank you for posting so quickly!

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?

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.

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 🎉 .

Thank you for bringing unbiased credibility and evidence based analysis back to reviews

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.

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!

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

I’m glad I found your channel and appreciate your tests.

Ciao Rob, amazing job! I have some questions regarding the data analysis. How do perform the point-to-point correlation? How much is the resolution in time regarding the data samples? Especially in high heart rate variance environments, could this lead to significative measurement errors? And finally, have you tried interpolating the data with other interpolations (instead of the linear that seems to be used from the images) and then measuring the correlation? Thanks again for the amazing video, Cheers!

Liked the video before even watching, cause the effort you put in testing these watches are crazy!

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!!

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

One of the best channels I’ve come across 👌🏼 thank you for your thorough evaluation!

I ve always been saying the same thing but i dont care im saying it again, you are the best (by light years) yt channel on smartwatches and u need more recognition a lot more!! I even ( for fun) tried to find something bad in your videos couldnt , editing/infos/clarity of the infos… EVERYTHING is there and well explained. I wish you all the best bro

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!

Good day, I've just started watching your videos. They are amazing! Thank you so much for the extensive, time consuming & sceentific tests that you are doing and sharing with all of us. Can you PLEASE start on a comparison video on the soon to be released Pixel Watch? The closest android watches in performance to the Apple watch are either too difficult to locate or they are too expensive.

Again, thanks for the truly excellent analysis!

Thank you! You've made the task of choosing my next watch so simple.

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? 🤞🙏🏻

Amazing analysis robbie❤

Another amazing review, congratulations ! A question I have, is if you used a third party app for monitoring your sleep with the watch or did you took all the info from the Health app in iPhone ?

Thank you! You are the best in KZread I hope you can take a break for awhile have a rest after all the cycle you have done for us

Such an awesome work. As usual. You are number one in this niche. One needs to look no further. Do you see any differences from last year Series 7?

Hands down the best guide for buying smart watches, it tells you what you need and where to find it!! - Superb!

amazing review, very glad to come across this, my se is already on the way :D

Thanks! You're review is so helpful, I've decided to buy the apple watch SE

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!

I love your excellent reviews. Great work! Have you tested exporting sleep stage data from the apple watches to the Oura app?

Awesome testing, really enjoy your channel. Getting a SE watch thanks.

What about the older Apple Watch SE during weight lifting after Watch OS 9 . Is it improved ?

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!)

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.

Excellent review! I greatly appreciate your channel; it's absolutely the best for reviewing wrist trackers. In fact, you are now responsible for me switching from Fitbit to the Apple Watch SE. This video was the final straw. I had put off changing in the past due to Apple's formerly deficient sleep data and the short battery life. Now that they are basically one of the best sleep trackers, I am learning to deal with the battery life. Thanks Rob!

As always, excellent review! Thank you

Just found your channel. I have the Ultra…. So very impressive and thorough. Subscribed and very intrigued by the tests ! Thanks for the work you put in! 😃

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!?

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

This video was a great help in my purchasing decision. Thank you!

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?

The best reviewer! ALWAYS delivering the best review content 😁

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.

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.

Please re-check measurements for apple watch 6-7 because measuring algorithms might be updated for older watches as well

Thank you so so much for these useful and accurate reviews

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

Very interesting results, have you tested or are you planning to test the Amazfit GTR 4?

Very good content. I noticed across your videos that not many polar devices are tested. Is there any chance for the polar brand among watches being tested.

Excellent Review! Hats off!

Excellent analysis. Consistent and thorough. Thanks.

Which is the best fitness band/watch for Apple? I don’t care about calling features etc. just please recommend the ones most accurate

Great review! Do you think the calories burnt is also great on the apple watch SE 2?

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)

Great video as always. I wanted to ask if anyone knows which app is he using while on the spinning test. Thank you!

There are the same prices between AW7 and SE 2nd gen. What should I buy? I have been thinking these for 3 days. Could you help me please Rob? Thanks

Thank you so much for that video, really really appreciate it

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.

Amazing insight and work 💯

Are the general differences between the 2020 SE and 2022 SE big enough to upgrade? It's mainly used for Sleep tracking and heart rate monitoring.

Hi Rob! there is garmin forerunner 255 on the plot of sleep accuracy. Did you make a review of this watch in the past?

sorry just one question to clarify...Is the step counting actually related to you walking between sets to different machines? or does it count steps while you actually lift without moving the feet?

Hi, I've a question. How do you know the watch perfomed better than the polar h10 if it is your parametter of correlation?

thanks for your vids!!

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?

Thanks for your hard work

this review is what I look for, thank you a lot, gonna get a SE 2022 later

Hey Rob! I've been really curious so I hope you don't mind if I ask you this question, since the Huawei GT Runner and the Apple Watch SE are very similar in price is the Huawei GT Runner as accurate in calroie count as the SE? I've seen that they are both amazing in heart rate but I would love to know if they are similar on calorie count aswell!
