Wearables

Wearables are sold on health claims and bought on battery life. The meaningful differentiators are sensor accuracy against a known reference, how the data is presented over months rather than days, and whether the device works with the phone you already own.

What actually matters

The specifications that change the answer

Phone compatibility, which rules out entire product lines
Battery life measured with the always-on display enabled
Heart-rate and GPS accuracy, which reviewers can compare against chest straps
Whether the health data can be exported without a subscription

What to skip

Medical claims: consumer wearables are wellness devices, not diagnostics
Premium materials that cost more without changing function
Cellular models unless you genuinely leave the phone behind
