Which connected watch to respect the curfew?

Which smartwatch to be at curfew time?

-

• The hour is the hour.

  Since October 17, 20 million French people have been forced to respect the curfew decreed by the government in an attempt to stem the pandemic due to Covid-19.

• The new smartwatches launched this fall may help them stay on schedule, but much more.

• Some have characteristics geared towards sport, others towards health, all have gained in functionality, but not necessarily in autonomy.

“It’s gold, it’s gold… it’s gold monsignor”… We could use Yves Montand's line in the film

and apply it to the curfew. .

Since Saturday, October 18, 20 million French people have been forced not to miss the gold - sorry, the hour - and to lock themselves in their homes from 9 p.m.

With their vibrating alarm, connected watches will remind them that it is time to shut up.

But they obviously (and fortunately) offer much more ...

Apple Watch Series 6: the new benchmark

The new tocante from Apple continues, slowly, but surely its evolution.

If his autonomy (one day) still does not improve, his health functions are improving.

Sleep monitoring (not obvious if the watch is then on its charger!), Measurement of the blood oxygenation rate, heart rate monitoring (much more precise than before), fall detection ... are now part of its DNA .

The new Apple Watch Series 6. - CAPTURE

Gadget but not that, a function now allows you to receive notifications to wash your hands (with a twenty-second timer).

Practice in these times of pandemic.

In Wifi: 429 euros;

in Wifi / 4G: 529 euros.

With the Family configuration, Apple allows you to associate several watches in order to maintain contact with their own, even without an iPhone.

- APPLE

The most curfew:

Launched alongside the Watch Series 6, the Watch SE can benefit from a family configuration.

On the wrist of a third party (and in particular a child), the watch connected to the iPhone of one of the parents can receive notifications and reminders indicating that it is time to go home!

From 299 euros.

Huawei Watch Fit: value for money

Original with its rectangular Amoled screen (1.64 '' / 4.16 cm), discreet on the wrist, with a GPS, the new watch from Chinese Huawei is above all very affordable: around 100 euros.

At this price, it offers a fairly complete experience, with very simple menus and navigation, 130 customizable screens, coaching in different sports (including walking and running with advice on 13 levels), continuous heart monitoring, waterproofing up to 50 meters ...

At around 100 euros, the Huawei Watch Fit offers excellent value for money.

- HUAWEI

The corresponding application is far from being as successful as at Apple, but we can be satisfied with the whole on a daily basis (the Watch Fit is an excellent

activity

, which includes good sleep monitoring), or to follow a sports activity.

Strong point: autonomy that can reach a week.

The most curfew:

the Huawei Watch Fit measures the stress level of its user and asks him to slow down!

In the evening, from 9 pm, we take the opportunity to de-stress!

Oppo Watch: your sports coach is in it!

With its design clearly inspired by that of Apple, the Oppo Watch offers an economical alternative to its famous model.

Or a pretty 1.91 '' / 4.85cm curved OLED screen watch running the aging Wear OS (Google's system).

The set offers fairly basic functionalists with only five sports activities that can be followed (walking, simple or intensive running, cycling, swimming) with evaluation of the heart rate.

We also appreciate the 24-hour cardio monitoring.

The Oppo Watch includes small exercise videos to do before going to bed.

- OPPO

Downside: the autonomy of the watch does not do much better than its rival from the Apple brand and barely exceeds 1.5 days of use.

On the other hand, its rapid recharging system allows it to restore 50% of its overall energy in twenty minutes.

The Oppo Watch is available in 41mm (Wi-Fi) at € 249;

in 45 mm (Wi-Fi) at 329 €, and in 45 mm (Wi-Fi and 4G) at 349 €.

But at this high price, the Apple Watch SE (299 euros) risks overshadowing it, especially among iPhone owners.

The most curfew:

Failing to spend the evening in his favorite gym or at the swimming pool, the Oppo Watch embarks on video sports sessions to keep in shape and even ... stretch before going to sleep !

Withings ScanWatch: health first

Fans of watchmaking watches will fall for the latest creation of French company Withings more easily than for its OLED screen rivals.

The particularity of the ScanWatch is that it is a complete health watch: thanks to its sensors, it is notably possible to carry out a medically certified electrocardiogram.

And that in just 30 seconds.

This measurement makes it possible to detect a risk of atrial fibrillation.

This would be at the origin of a third of strokes in France ...

In black or white, the ScanWatch offers four essential health measures.

- WITHINGS

The rest of the features of the ScanWatch will satisfy the greatest number: notifications,

activity

, sports tracking (with detection of running, walking, swimming and cycling).

Regret of taillel: the tocante does not integrate a GPS chip.

Walkers and other runners should keep their smartphones with them to record their tracks.

In 38 mm: 280 euros;

in 42 mm: 300 euros.

At any time, it is possible to trigger a measurement - WITHINGS

The most curfew:

our nights may be longer for a few weeks, the ScanWatch analyzes the quality of our sleep and is able to wake us only in a phase of light sleep.

Soon (in a future update) - it will even detect sleep apnea.
