Special smartwatch on offer: Apple, Amazfit and Samsung push hard on health, autonomy and smart functions

Written by Jason Miller

The smartwatch selection of these hours highlights three very different approaches: Apple Watch SE 3 for those looking for the most accessible entry into the iPhone ecosystem, Apple Watch Series 11 for those who want a more complete package on the health front, e.g Apple Watch Ultra 3 for those who demand the maximum in autonomy, robustness and cellular connectivity. On the price front, the 40 mm SE 3 drops to 229 euros from the initial 279, the 42 mm Series 11 goes to 339 euros from the starting 459, while the Ultra 3 is positioned at 749 euros instead of 909 euros.

Apple Watch SE 3 remains the best proposal for the ratio between cost and essential functions, with a 40 mm or 44 mm aluminum case only €10 differenceiPhone integration and focus on daily monitoring and notifications. The difference compared to Series 11 it is felt above all in the health functions and in the general level of the display and autonomy, which in the higher model are more advanced. For those who want to stay at Apple but limit spending, the SE 3 is the simplest choice to read even in a promotional window like this.

The Series 11 raises the bar with a more comprehensive health and wellness setting, plus a larger, brighter display than the SE range. The aluminum version 42mm Jet Black offered at 339 euros makes the model very interesting for those looking for more margin without immediately going up to the Ultra range. In this scenario, the Series 11 stands out as the “central” model of the Apple Watch line, the one that offers the best compromise between advanced functions and price.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 remains the reference for those who do intense sport or outdoor activities, thanks to the 49 mm titanium case and connectivity GPS + Cellular and the choice of more resistant materials. The price of 749 euros places it in a significantly higher range, but the equipment is consistent with the setting of a premium model oriented towards durability and reliability. In this special, it is the product that moves furthest from the logic of a simple smartwatch and comes closer to a professional tool for sports and adventure.

Out of the Apple world, Amazfit GTR 4 it is one of the most aggressive cuts on the price front, with availability at 113.90 euros and a card full of sports functions. The model offers 1.43-inch AMOLED display, dual band GPS, support for 6 satellite systems and over 150 sports modes, with continuous monitoring of heart rate, SpO2, stress and breathing. It is the most interesting proposal for those looking for a complete watch for training and health without going into the numbers of Apple or Samsung.

Amazfit Active Max it focuses on autonomy and smart functions with a 1.5-inch AMOLED display, up to 25 days of battery life, offline maps, NFC, GPS and over 170 sports modes. The price of 134 euros also makes it competitive compared to the GTR 4, especially for those who value long battery life and practical functions. In this range it is an interesting middle ground between a sports smartwatch and a device for everyday use.

Samsung Galaxy Watch7 instead it enters with a cut more oriented towards the Galaxy AI platform, sleep control and advanced smart functions, with a 40 mm version on offer at 173.69 euros. Samsung focuses on AI assistance, sleep analysis and rapid interaction with double pinching, as well as a more classic and versatile design. For those who use Android and want to stay in the Samsung ecosystem, it is the most natural model to consider among those listed.

It also completes the picture HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 GPS 46mma proposal that focuses on autonomy and sports equipment with a display 1.47 inch AMOLED and a battery declared up to 21 days of use, a fact that places it among the most interesting models for those who favor durability over frequent charging. The presence of over 100 sports modesof the support a iOS and Androidof the function NFC and health monitoring makes it suitable for both training and daily use, while the price of €147 strengthens its positioning as a very competitive alternative in the mid-range.
