How we score smartwatches

Every smartwatch is scored on the same rows: case size, display, weight (case only), water resistance, ECG app, key health sensors, GPS, rated battery life, works with, launch price (USD). Measurable rows are normalised across the category and weighted (Health 30%, Battery 25%, Design 15%, Value 30%); rows without a sensible direction are explained, not scored.
