In this podcast, we put the latest lineup of hunting and fitness wearables through the Mindful Hunter scoring system—breaking down everything from battery life and GPS performance to real-world hunt data and sleep tracking. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense review that cuts through the marketing fluff, this one’s for you.

We start with a full overview of the scoring system and testing methodology, followed by a deep dive into how each watch performed across a variety of metrics that actually matter in the field. From price and display quality to weather resistance and app integration, we leave no stone unturned.

This review also includes a detailed section on performance and health tracking, as well as exclusive hunt data analysis and training metrics that show how these devices hold up under pressure.+

If you’re serious about your gear and want honest insights from someone who’s been there, this breakdown will give you the clarity you need to make the right choice.
