We are also pleased to know that it monitors your heart rate that sends out alerts when it detects anything different. It’s also great at monitoring blood oxygen saturation (SpO2).

If you are willing to splurge on a pricey smartwatch for P26,490 – P28,990 then the Apple Watch Series 7 is a great option. It’s available both in Lazada and Shopee, as well as at any Power Mac Center.

We really hope that they improve the battery life on this device so that it can compete with other smartwatches on our list. Its average lasting time is around 1 day, which is easily beaten by the other watches.

The Fitbit Sense Smartwatch is a good option for people with a really active lifestyle and are also very conscious about their health. 

This device has a very extensive health tracker, which we find impressive.

One of the best features about this smartwatch is its ability to track your stress. Using the DA Scan App, the Fitbit Sense Smartwatch measures the body’s electrodermal activity, which can indicate your body’s response to stressors.

We were very impressed with its long battery life that can last up to 6 days on a single charge. This device has the most powerful battery on our list!

The Fitbit Sense Smartwatch costs around P17,990, which is available on Shopee and Lazada. You can also find them in kiosks inside the malls. 

One of the downsides of the Fitbit Sense Smartwatch is that you need to upgrade to Fitbit Premium to maximize the use of the app. Since you are already paying for a hefty price for the watch, some users would not want to spend again to fully access the app.

A few users have also noted that there is a learning curve when it comes to its buttonless design. You’ll need to get used to using the touch-sensitive area in order to navigate the device.

You can cop the Galaxy Watch4 Classic for P17,990. It is available in any Samsung stores; or, you can purchase it online through Lazada and Shopee.

It’s quite disappointing to learn that the battery life on this device is not that great. It can last you a good few hours with continuous use. We hope that Samsung considers improving on this area since you don’t want to keep on recharging your smartwatch.

A number of users also find the workout controls to be a bit fiddly. Some feel frustrated that it sometimes stops for a few seconds when you are trying to time an exercise.

It also looks very sleek with the sapphire glass and ceramic back. If you want a smartwatch that does not look bulky against your wrist, then this is a great option. 

One of the cons that we noticed for this device is that it can get laggy at times, which can be annoying if you’re working out. We hope that Huawei improves their user interface to make it more convenient for users.

Another common comment from users is that the alarms and vibrations are very quiet, which in return causes trouble to the user since they miss the notifications. A stronger sound and vibration would be a great improvement for the device.
