He was impressed by the accurate health and fitness tracking, bright screen, and improved metal body. There are no dull-colour maps or LTE support, so if these are deal breakers, then you&#8217;ll need to look for a more premium alternative.<\/p>\n<p>The watch does include a speaker and microphone for taking calls, recording voice notes, and activating the phone&#8217;s voice assistant. There are also weather updates, morning and evening reports, training readiness scores, lifestyle logging and more.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-ab8252ad-9a6f-4caa-ab5b-47ade8de0ec8\">If you&#8217;d like to see what else is available, then our guide to the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/wearables\/best-smart-watches-what-s-the-best-wearable-tech-for-you-1154074\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/wearables\/best-smart-watches-what-s-the-best-wearable-tech-for-you-1154074\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/wearables\/best-smart-watches-what-s-the-best-wearable-tech-for-you-1154074\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">best smartwatches<\/a> has a full rundown based on our in-depth independent testing.
