Great sports watch with tons of options that you won't use anyway until you're a pro. And by then, you'll probably have saved up for the expensive version. Lightweight, easy to operate, and convenient to use. Plus, it tells the time; what more could you want?

According to our smartwatch expert
The AMOLED touchscreen is bright and easy to read in the bright sun.
You can create personal workout schedules and know exactly when you're ready for your next workout.
The battery lasts up to 13 days, so you don't have to charge the watch often.
There's no altimeter and gyroscope, so the registration of your workouts is less accurate compared to the more expensive models.
If you want to listen to music while you exercise, you have to bring your smartphone with you.
