10 smartwatches with excellent battery life

Selecting watches solely based on autonomy is not entirely reasonable. This parameter must be taken into account along with other technical characteristics of devices and their functions. Therefore, in our top we tried to collect gadgets from different segments. All of them have one thing in common: they hold a charge well.

1. Huawei Watch GT 4

Autonomy: up to 14 days.

The 46mm version of this watch easily lasts 10-14 days on a single charge. And this is an excellent result for a flagship device with a very smooth and bright OLED screen, many sensors for monitoring health, as well as the ability to receive incoming calls on the smartphone.

The Always On Display mode and the use of navigation, of course, reduce operating time. However, even with these features, the Watch GT 4 lasts many times longer than competitors from Apple and Samsung. In terms of balance of features, design and price, this is one of the best smartwatches right now.

Price: from 19,999 rubles.

2. Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro

Autonomy: up to 14 days.

This is a classic design model with a steel case, sapphire crystal and a rotating crown. The watch lasts up to two weeks, and this is very good for a gadget with a 1.47‑inch display with a brightness of up to 600 nits and a resolution of 480 × 480 pixels.

Calls via Bluetooth from a smartphone, GPS navigation, heart rate and SpO measurement₂, hundreds of sports modes - everything is in place. However, there is no ability to install third-party applications, and this does not allow the watch to compete on equal terms with analogues Apple and Samsung.

Price: from 20,990 rubles.

3. Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 5

Autonomy:

• up to 4 days as usual;
• up to 45 days in energy saving mode.

This gadget is worthy of the top for two reasons. Firstly, this is the most autonomous watch on Wear OS. And secondly, they have a unique dual layer display, allowing you to turn the standard 3-4 days of work into one and a half months.

Yes, the second scenario is only possible in monochrome screen mode and with limited functionality, but it’s still a cool feature. With it, you don’t have to worry that the gadget will simply turn off at one point. You can always reach the outlet by changing the operating mode of the device.

Price: from 34,990 rubles.

4. Amazfit Bip 5

Autonomy:

• up to 10 days as usual;
• up to 26 days in energy saving mode.

These inexpensive watches are very recent came out on the market, but have already managed to attract attention with the combination of a huge 1.91‑inch display and impressive battery life: 10 days during normal use and 26 days in power saving mode.

The watch weighs only 26 g and offers calls from a smartphone via Bluetooth, GPS navigation, and constant monitoring of heart rate and blood oxygen levels. Among the disadvantages that justify the price are the plastic body and TFT screen.

Price: from 8,599 rubles.

5. Redmi Watch 3

Autonomy: up to 12 days.

Another smartwatch with an impressive combination of autonomy, other characteristics and functions. They have a 1.75-inch AMOLED screen with a brightness of up to 600 nits, GPS and a microphone with speaker for calls from a smartphone. And all this in a case with 5 ATM moisture protection.

The watches look interesting, especially with bright straps. But, of course, it was not without its drawbacks. These include the lack of auto-brightness, a wide screen frame and a plastic body, albeit with ends that imitate brushed metal.

Price: from 6,999 rubles.

6. Amazfit T‑Rex 2

Autonomy:

• up to 20 days as usual;
• up to 45 days in energy saving mode.

Brutal watches for extreme sports enthusiasts and ardent travelers. In normal mode, they can work for about 20 days without recharging, and if you switch to energy saving mode, you can count on 40–45 days.

By characteristics top watch. There is frost resistance, armor-piercing ability, a screen with a brightness of up to 1,000 nits, and even a dual-band GPS receiver. But the disadvantages can be critical: the device is quite massive and does not support Bluetooth calls.

Price: from 6,999 rubles.

7. Huawei Watch GT 3 SE

Autonomy: up to 14 days.

This is Huawei's most affordable watch with a 14-day battery life. They can offer a 1.43‑inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 466 × 466 pixels, GPS support, Bluetooth calling and a ton of sports modes.

The reasonable price of this model is explained by compromises, including a body made of rough plastic and a simple silicone strap. Otherwise the watch is not bad.

Price: from 10,990 rubles.

8. Amazfit GTR 4

Autonomy: up to 14 days.

An interesting model with a universal design at the junction sports and strict forms. It has a good 1.43‑inch AMOLED screen, a microphone with a speaker for receiving calls and a modern navigation system.

There is even an application store, but, unfortunately, it is developing very slowly, so you shouldn’t count on it too much. This is one of the main disadvantages of GTR 4. Another drawback is the modest selection of watch faces and not the smoothest animation.

Price: from 14,990 rubles.

9. Garmin Forerunner 265

Autonomy: up to 13 days.

If this top were formed solely on autonomy, it would consist mainly of Garmin watches. There are many long-livers among them, but most of them have price tags of hundreds of thousands of rubles. Here we decided to highlight only a couple of devices from the brand, including the Garmin Forerunner 265, equipped with an AMOLED screen.

It's not the most durable model, but it may be the most versatile - even though it's aimed at athletes. The gadget allows you to track running dynamics data, body energy levels, efficiency training and much more. Notifications, music, GPS and other familiar functions are also present.

Price: from 56,500 rubles.

10. Garmin Instinct 2 Solar

Autonomy:

• up to 28 days as usual;
• unlimited in solar power saving mode.

And this is already one of the most interesting and reliable watches of the brand. They can withstand immersion in water to a depth of 100 m, temperature changes, and shock.

Instinct 2 Solar does not have a very informative monochrome display and massive dimensions, but it has one important advantage: they can be powered by the sun, which, according to the manufacturer, provides an almost unlimited period work. Surely we are talking about a minimum of activity and ideal weather conditions, which we still have to look for. But even if the autonomy is enough for a month, this is what you need for long outings and travel.

Price: from 40,000 rubles.
