Smartwatch range

The range shows sale prices that at the time of analysis are discounted: £109.99 for the Health 4 and the Ultra 3, and £79.99 for the Ultra 2+ and the Health 3, against regular prices of £225, £185 and £135 depending on the model. The store advertises a promotion of up to 40% off ending on 30 September and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Health and performance features

The Health Series watches are geared towards everyday wellbeing and tracking metrics such as heart rate, sleep, blood oxygen, blood pressure, temperature, stress, menstrual cycle, breathing and respiratory rate. The Health 4 adds metabolic analysis, sleep apnoea risk, VO2 max and mood. The Ultra Series, described as the most powerful, shares many of these functions and adds reinforced durability for demanding workouts.

On the safety side, the models include emergency SOS and, in the most complete cases, medication reminders. Connectivity includes dual-frequency GPS, calls and smart notifications on the higher-end models, while the lower-end models are limited to calls and notifications. Additional features include an altimeter, barometer, compass, UV index, weather forecast, voice assistant and music player.

Straps and accessories

The store offers straps compatible with the different series, including steel, sport, leather, Milanese and magnetic models, priced at £16.99 in the examples shown. It also sells accessories such as screen protectors, USB charging cables and power adapters, with prices ranging from £11.99 to £14.99. The range is completed by the Gard Pro Pace open-ear headphones, presented as an audio product with enhanced bass and designed for movement.

Durability and resistance

The watches have different levels of water and shock resistance. The Health 4 and the Ultra 3 have 5 ATM certification, and the latter adds the MIL-STD-810H military standard. The Ultra 2+ and the Health 3 are rated at 3 ATM, with MIL-STD-810G certification in the case of the Ultra 2+. The company stresses that actual battery life depends on the use of features such as tracking, notifications and monitoring.
