Stiftung Warentest" sees Apple and Garmin further ahead in smartwatches
17.12.2021
Translation: machine translated
The previous front-runners remain unchallenged. That is the conclusion after the test of eight new smartwatch models by Stiftung Warentest. Neither Garmin, nor Polar, nor the watches from Chinese manufacturers make it to the top.
The scores in the individual categories differ only in nuances from the other models. Thus, the front-runner in the overall ranking has a score of 2.0.
1st place: Apple Watch Series 6 (grade 2.0)
2nd place: Garmin Fenix Pro 6 (grade 2.1)
3rd place: Polar Grit X (grade 2.2)
4th place: Apple Watch SE (grade 2.3)
5th place: Garmin Venu (grade 2.3)
Overall, the results of the test are therefore only of limited use. Tests under laboratory conditions are of course a statement. However, the strength - or weakness - of some smartwatch functions only becomes apparent in practice.
Thus, you might be interested in one of the "Chinese" models, all of which Stiftung Warentest rates as "satisfactory" - with only minimal gradations in the respective evaluation criteria.
