220 Triathlon

AUGUST SWB200

-

£29.95 August were a new brand to us in this test, but turns out they’re a UKbased technology company making everything from TVs to lamps – with fitness trackers part of the mix and sold through Amazon. The look of the SWB200 was very similar to the Huawei, but it felt much cheaper. The band was the same feed-through and clip design and near impossible to do up one-handed, then once on it felt rigid and uncomforta­ble. The charging method felt clunky too – you pull half of the strap off to reveal an end that fits (badly) into a USB. As for the features, this watch is based around a HRM on the wrist that also tracks blood oxygen and blood pressure, to reasonable accuracy. The step counter racked up the steps even when we were sitting in the office typing, though – and the only other sports function is a run mode, which had to be activated before use through the app on your phone. amazon.com
