TOP 5 smartwatches with high battery life

Domino DM58 is a low-cost smartwatch with an interesting design. Their appearance immediately makes it clear that this model is more suitable for a sporty or casual style than for a business one - they will contrast very much with a jacket or shirt. Despite the external bulkiness, the watch is almost not felt on the hand and looks very harmonious.

The watch case is made of zinc alloy, and the strap is silicone, soft and pleasant to the touch. On the front surface there is an OLED display with a diagonal of 0.95 inches and a resolution of 96x64 pixels. It is protected by glass with an oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating. The only navigation key on the Smart Watch DM58 is the sensor on the bottom of the screen.

Next to the screen is a window with sensors, thanks to which the watch shows information about the distance traveled in steps and kilometers, calories burned, heart rate and remaining sleep time. Also, a nice bonus of this device is the ability to measure blood pressure. After synchronizing with a smartphone through a proprietary application, DM58 will begin to collect information about your activity and will log it by day. The watch shows information about the current date, day of the week, Bluetooth connection status and charge level. In addition, notifications from the main messengers and information about the caller are displayed on the screen. The latter can display information in Russian.

It should be noted that there are nice bonuses in the functionality: for example, if you sit at the computer for a long time, the DM58 will remind you of this and offer to warm up. And in order for the screen to turn on, just raise your hand. You can also choose the type of alarm clock that suits you best (there are 3 of them). Smart Watch DM58 has IP67 protection, which gives full protection against dust and the ability to submerge in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

Due to its monochrome display and 120 mAh battery, the watch can live autonomously for up to 7 days, and then fully charge in more than 2 hours. It is worth noting that such an economical monochrome display causes some inconvenience in bright sunlight, you have to close it in every possible way, otherwise the information is hard to read. If we talk about the cons, then, perhaps, that's all, the watch does a great job with its main functionality.

Not everyone likes defiant, gigantic smartwatches or bracelets. Many people want to maintain a seasoned business style, while not giving up the usual functions of a smartwatch. Xiaomi listened to its consumers and released an accessory that instantly fell in love with many.

MiJia Quartz Watch is a hybrid quartz watch from Xiaomi, which combines timeless classics in design and "smart" stuffing. The watch case is made of stainless steel, which, according to the manufacturer, has gone through 70 stages of processing, and has a special PVD coating on top, providing maximum tactile comfort when in contact with the skin. The front part is framed in tempered glass, the case is waterproof and the watch does not have to be removed when washing hands.

Under the glass there are 2 dials: the main one, which shows the time and the additional one, which will tell you how many steps you have taken. The only button on the case is designed to synchronize MiJia Quartz Watch with a smartphone or reset the watch to factory settings. Separately, I would like to note the detachable strap - pleasant to the touch, made of soft, high-quality leather. As soon as the watch gets on your hand, you get the feeling that you have been wearing it all your life.

MiJia Quartz Watch connects to a smartphone using the proprietary Mi Home application, which displays information about the distance traveled, calories burned and the number of steps. In addition to the pedometer, the watch is also endowed with a couple of smart features like a smart alarm clock, an interval timer, favorite contacts, or automatic time change when changing the time zone.

Another notable feature of this watch is a standard coin cell battery (note: CR2430), which can be bought almost anywhere, and its claimed life is 6 months.

Summing up, I would like to note that MiJia Quartz Watch is a small work of art. The watch is solidly assembled, and the materials that were used in the production are quite high quality and pleasant. A little upset functionality, there are no familiar chips like a heart rate monitor or a calorie counter. But let's be honest, the model is more of a fashion model, and those who choose it for themselves put long-term autonomy, excellent design and ease of use in the first place.

Huawei 's Watch GT smartwatch is notable for being the pioneers who experienced the new Lite OS operating system. Prior to this, all the company's smartwatches were running Android Wear OS, which did not differ in the duration of its battery life. The new OS promised to solve this problem.

Watch GT is a wristwatch with a touch screen (1.39 inches) and two mechanical buttons. The case itself is steel, the back cover is made of plastic, it houses sensors for measuring the pulse and contacts for charging, while the bezel is made of ceramics. The appearance of the watch cannot be 100% attributed to either sports or casual. They go great with just about any outfit and, best of all, don't feel bulky like most members of this class.

The strap on the watch is standard 20 mm, that is, if you wish, you can always replace it. But the original strap has its own zest - the outer side is covered with leather, and the part that is adjacent to the hand is silicone. This solution is quite successful, because the biggest problem with leather straps is their quick wear, while silicone ones are much more durable and less prone to dirt.

In addition to all kinds of sports functions such as a pedometer, a heart rate monitor and a physical activity sensor, the watch will remind you not to sit at the computer, do exercises, etc. In addition, Huawei smartwatches are equipped with a compass with GPS, Galileo and GLONASS support, a barometer, receive notifications from a smartphone and can work for 2 weeks without recharging, provided that training is tracked for no more than 1.5 hours per week. Well, if you monitor your pulse on an ongoing basis and communicate with GPS, the charge will last almost a day.

Separately, I would like to say about the screen - everything is wonderful in it. Fast response time, wide viewing angles, brightness margin is enough even in the sunniest weather. The brightness of the display can be adjusted both manually and using the light sensor, which is very convenient. In addition, thanks to the AMOLED matrix, the battery life has increased.

Since Lite OS was created as energy efficient and lightweight as possible, the watch did not receive such modules as NFC and Wi-Fi in its arsenal. It is difficult to say whether this is a plus or a minus: on the one hand, the communication capabilities have decreased, on the other hand, the battery life has noticeably increased.

The Huawei Health app is used to connect the device to a smartphone. The programme collects and packs by day absolutely all the information that arrives from the watch. With its help, you can achieve certain results from training by setting the desired weight, heart rate limits, and it also allows you to update the firmware.

Smartwatch Ambit3 Vertical from the Finnish company Suunto is positioned as a professional accessory for sports in the mountains. Their main feature is the new FusedAlti function, which collects information about changes in altitude, can plan routes taking into account the speed of movement, distance and altitude fluctuations.

Ambit3 Vertical is a fairly large watch with a bright polyamide case. The monochrome display is framed in a black fixed stainless steel bezel. The screen is protected from accidental bumps and scratches by durable, anti-reflective mineral glass. The right and left side of the case is decorated with mechanical navigation buttons. Ambit3 Vertical is an absolute sports watch, its aggressive design will not let you forget about it for a minute.

Ambit3 Vertical is endowed with the usual features for such models: there is an accelerometer that can record the frequency of pedaling on a bicycle, a barometer, an altimeter, a compass, a thermometer, GPS, etc. It is only surprising that in this model there are no basic functions for smartwatches, such as a sleep sensor.

Pairing with a smartphone takes place through the Movescount app. Going to Movescount.com, you will find a large selection of sports modes for training such as windsurfing, swimming, cycling, running, etc., there you can also tweak the settings for your activities and add your own sports activities. Of particular note is the Suunto App Zone application library, which includes a database of useful programs such as preparing for a ski slope or a six-month crash course for marathon runners. You don't see that often on smartwatches. True, to start working with Movescount.com, you will either have to manually synchronize your watch with your smartphone, or connect it to your computer, which looks a bit strange in our age of automation.

You can't ignore the Suunto movie app. The programme can create excellent videos that show your movement on the terrain map with indicators of achievements, speed and heart rate. The rollers look great, reminiscent of trailers for sports events. The length of the video is set according to your desire (1 minute, 20 or 5 seconds), after which the video can be uploaded to Instagram, Youtube, Twitter or Facebook.

Suunto Ambit3 Vertical can store up to 60 exercises and notify you when and where to start. This is very convenient, because when you wake up in the morning you do not have to think about the training plan, the watch remembers everything. At the end of your workout, based on your overall activity level and heart rate, Ambit3 Vertical will tell you how long it takes to recover from exercise.

In 2017, the American company Garmin introduced the Fenix 5 line of smartwatches, it includes three models: Garmin Fenix 5, Garmin Fenix 5X and Garmin Fenix 5S. For such a long time, the line has not lost its relevance at all, even more people have been recruited into the army of Garmin fans.

The Fenix 5S model is positioned as a watch for sports. At the same time, it is one of the most compact models among smartwatches. Fenix 5S looks very presentable and elegant. The design combines both classic and sporty notes. Perhaps the appearance was influenced by the fact that the model was presented as a female, although in reality it is very unisex and will suit everyone with a small wrist.

The main area of the watch is occupied by a transflective display, which is protected by mineral glass. The assembly of the watch is on top - it is of high quality and good quality, and the navigation buttons have a pleasant move. A comfortable silicone strap completes the picture. It fits comfortably, does not collect dust and does not stick to the skin, and a fairly tight clasp firmly fixes the watch on your hand.

Garmin is famous for its multisport watches for a reason: Fenix 5S, in addition to GPS tracking for athletes or cyclists, is endowed with many functions for measuring a variety of sports activities. Here you also have a mode for playing golf, rock climbing, snowboarding, mountain (and not only) skiing, swimming both in the pool and in open water, and many others. To sync with your smartphone, use the convenient Garmin Connect app with many useful little things like a training diary, a block with tips, etc.

During sports, you can choose what indicators will be displayed on the display: temperature, step or pulse rate, pace, calories, atmospheric pressure and many others. Also, during the training, you can set up and plan intervals (warm-up-training-rest), the number of approaches, etc. Intervals can be configured both by time and by pressing a button.

The Garmin Fenix 5S has a non-touch display, so navigation through the device is carried out with five mechanical buttons. At the same time, the watch shows almost all text notifications for both Android and iOS without any problems. Notifications can be read, but answering because of the physical buttons will not work. Navigation notifications like Google Maps labels also work. In addition, you can view the weather and calendar from the watch, control the player, and even find your dog if it has a paired device.

For more comfort when communicating with a smartphone, Garmin has a special IQ Connect store, where you can find various watch faces, widgets and applications.

The battery performed very well! With active use, the battery lasts for 3-4 days. It was a little sad that there is no Wi-Fi in such an expensive device, but this is one of the reasons for the high autonomy.
