However, when viewed here in the Motorola Watch app, it all looks fun and easy! Motorola (and Polar, I think) uses Apple’s “close your loops” approach, with active minutes, steps, and calories. I especially like that you can now use Polar’s sleep tracking with a cheaper Android watch. Polar takes into account sleep time, restlessness (whether your sleep is intermittent or not), and replenishment to give you a nightly recharging state.
You He can You still click and see your ANS, but there’s a lot more context surrounding it. Also, the graphs are nicer. I compared the sleep, heart rate, and stress measurements to my own oura ring 4, I didn’t find any major differences. The Moto Watch tends to be a little more generous in my sleep and activity measurements (7 hours and 21 minutes of sleep instead of 7 hours and 13 minutes, or 3,807 steps compared to 3,209), but that’s typical for lower-end fitness trackers that have fewer and less sensitive sensors.
Meanwhile, I have a major hardware issue. The onboard GPS is meant to make it easier to get out the door and start your watch. I have not found this to be the case. Whatever processor is in the watch (Motorola has chosen not to reveal this), it is very slow to communicate with satellites and it is not clear when this happens. This isn’t a big deal when I’m just walking my dog or lifting weights in my living room, but it constantly cuts out when I’m outside and don’t have the ability to fill in the gaps, as a more expensive fitness tracker does.
It’s really annoying to constantly be stressed about missing a satellite and have to cut a quarter mile or half a mile out of your rides. This is how I know the speaker is working – it was constantly telling me it lost connection to the satellite during activities.
Finally, the screen and buttons are really sensitive. It does give you an option to lock the screen, but even then, I found myself accidentally unlocking it from time to time and stopping recording when I didn’t mean to.
As I write this, I have seven different smartwatches from different brands on my desk. If you’re looking for a cheap, attractive, efficient, and Android-compatible smartwatch, I’d say the CMF Watch 3 Pro is your best choice. However, I think the integration with Polar is done well, and the price point isn’t that bad. I’m definitely keeping an eye on what Motorola might offer in the future.
