The top fitness watches tested and compared on features, price and build quality by experts at tech.

1. Garmin Venu 2
Our top tracker combines tons of detailed, accurate workout data with useful smartwatch functions in a cool, office-friendly design. We especially like the improved Body Battery function, which helps you balance rest and play.

2. Xiaomi Mi Watch
With a very cool design, large colourful screen, solid tracking data (with GPS) and excellent battery life, this watch is a winner. Consider that it costs half as much as most competitors, and you can see why Xiaomi is now the industry leader in wearables.

3. Huawei Watch GT2e
This update to the excellent GT2 has the same extraordinary two weeks of battery life with full GPS support, but it’s more sport focused with VO2 Max and SP02. It’s also a more streamlined shape, and has 4 GB music storage on-board. 

4. Xiaomi Band 6
The sharp and colourful screen is the winning feature here, along with exceptional battery life and decent step, heart- and sleep metrics. At this price, the lack of GPS won’t bother casual gym-goers. 

5. Huawei Band 6
Our favourite budget tracker doesn’t have built-in GPS but the bright and sharp colour screen is a treat, and you’re getting SP02  and stress metrics in the mix. Great build quality at a fantastic price.
