Five readers compared the Garmin Vivoactive 4 and Huawei Watch GT 2 Sport fitness trackers in a practical test. In the video, they reveal which of the watches won.
For the first time, Galaxus and the online magazine TechStage jointly organised a reader test in August 2020. Five readers were allowed to put fitness trackers through their paces. The test results are now available in the form of videos.
These were the tasks
Our reader testers had four weeks to use the Garmin Vivoactive 4 and the Huawei Watch GT 2 Sport in everyday life. First of all, we wanted to know how the devices looked and felt. Is the workmanship good? Does everything feel good? Are the accessories satisfactory? Our testers Florian, Michael, Mohammed, Nadine and Ricarda created unboxing videos to find out.
A test video was then made afterwards: How do the watches perform during sport? How do you like the operation and app? What advantages and disadvantages do the devices have in everyday life?
At the end, all testers were able to decide which of the two watches they wanted to keep. The decision was surprisingly unanimous: The Garmin Vivoactive 4 made it onto the wrist of all candidates. The Huawei Watch GT 2 Sport, on the other hand, went back into storage.
The test devices
The Huawei Watch GT 2 Sport competes against the Garmin Vivoactive 4, which is almost twice as expensive. We wanted to find out: What's the difference between the models - apart from the price? At first glance, the watches don't look much different on the product data sheet.
Video test
But now to the video test. We have put the videos sent in by our testers into a video. Each of our testers talks about their own experiences with the watches. Have fun watching!
Conclusion
It doesn't always have to be expensive - actually. Our reader testers like both watches. In detail, however, the more expensive Garmin Vivoactive 4 wins over all candidates. We would like to thank Florian, Michael, Mohammed, Nadine and Ricarda for taking part!
