Feature by feature
✓ the maker's page says yes ✕ the maker's page says no, or the spec list rules it out ? not found on the pages read (it does not mean the watch lacks it)
Each column is one exact model, named in its heading. Other sizes and versions of the same family can differ: pick the watch in Overview and change the model to see its own column here.
How this was put together
- Only the makers' own pages were used: product pages, spec pages, owner's manuals and press releases. No review sites.
- One exact model per watch at a time, named under each watch. Families with several models (fenix 9, Series 12, SE 3, Venu 4, Pixel Watch 5, APEX 4, Race 2, WHOOP, Balance 3) have a model switch in the watch panel; all charts and the feature table follow it.
- Prices are US starting prices on the day of reading. They change, and they differ by country. HUAWEI has no US price.
- Battery figures are the makers' own claims. Each maker tests in its own way, so treat small gaps as equal.
- Weights are not all measured the same way. Some include the band and some do not, so weight is shown but never ranked.
- Every price belongs to the exact size shown. Change the model to see the price of another size.
- The radar chart is not a score. It only shows where a watch sits between the lowest and highest value of the group.
- "Works with" comes from each maker's phone requirements. Apple Watch needs an iPhone; Galaxy Watch and Pixel Watch need an Android phone.
- No opinion ranking. A missing value is shown as n/a and is never guessed.
- Product photos are the makers' own, from the pages listed below.
