Editorial and Reviews Promise

Wearable technology has evolved from a Silicon Valley experiment into a clinical-grade health revolution. Since 2014, Wareable has been the steady hand guiding readers through that change.

When we started, the Apple Watch was a rumor. Today, wearables monitor our hearts, our sleep, and our recovery. While the tech has evolved, our core editorial promises remain:

  • The connected self: We focus on the data that tracks you—whether it’s on your wrist, in your ears, or in your home
  • Real-world integrity: We test and benchmark devices in the field and the real world
  • Reviews you can trust: Our verdicts are independent, technical, and honest

What We Do

Wareable enables enthusiasts and health-conscious consumers to buy and get the most from the latest tracking tech. We are unbiased and independent. We have reviewed thousands of products from hundreds of brands, living with devices for weeks to determine their true effectiveness.

How We Test

We have established a rigorous benchmarking process, carried out by the Mediatech editorial team, to ensure every review is grounded in objective data.

  • Heart rate: We compare wrist-based sensors to chest straps—the consumer gold standard—steady-state cardio and high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
  • GPS accuracy: Every tracker is benchmarked against dedicated GPS sports watches on known, measured routes to verify distance and mapping accuracy.
  • Sleep tracking: We validate devices against top-performing dedicated sleep sensors to check for correlation in duration and sleep staging.
  • Battery life: We test devices through multiple discharge cycles, including 'stress tests' with heavy GPS and sensor use to find the real-world limits.

Commercial Promise

Every recommendation comes from our editorial team and remains completely separate from commercial decisions. We use affiliate links to support our work, but we never take payment for reviews or placement in buyer's guides.

Every single recommendation comes from our editorial teams in London and Vilnius and remains completely separate from commercial decisions.

We write deal stories from offers handpicked by our team because they offer good value to our readers. We may receive a commission if you click a link to a retailer and make a purchase. These affiliate partnerships help to support the work we do and do not influence the products we cover or how we cover them.

We also publish sponsored features. These will publish quality information regarding wearable tech brands, written in the Wareable house style, marked with the tag 'Sponsored' and the respective brand's logo. We won't run an advertorial on a product or company unless we think it will interest our readers.

We never take payments or offers for product reviews, buyers' guides, or coverage.

Verification and fact-checking

Mediatech and Wareable are committed to publishing honest, accurate information.

We welcome feedback from our readers, via comments or email, and we agree and aim to closely follow the Editors' Code of Practice.
