Who it suits
Best if you have an iPhone and want the most watch
The only product on this page where three outlets landed on exactly the same normalised score, which almost never happens — across everything we have published the median gap between the harshest and kindest outlet is 1.0 point, and here it is zero. TechRadar called it a Garmin-rivalling powerhouse, Tom's Guide the ultimate wearable for people who want the very best. Satellite messaging, the brightest display Apple has shipped, and battery measured in days rather than a day.
Where it falls down. It is the most expensive thing here by a wide margin, and it is physically large — reviewers who swapped down to the Series 11 missed the battery and the screen, not the bulk. It also pairs with iPhone only, so on Android it is not a choice you can make.
