👉 Read this if your health has been on your mind lately
Staying on top of your health doesn't have to mean sports and food become an obsession. Most people work out sometimes, watch what they eat, or just try to stay generally healthy, without following a strict schedule.
A fitness band can be handy, but it usually only counts steps and calories. It doesn't look at how your heart behaves throughout the day, your breathing at night, or your stress levels at all. The Gard Pro Health 4, now A$119.99 in the sale, does.
A regular fitness band usually just shows your heart rate, a simple number without much context. The Health 4 looks further, though it still doesn't diagnose anything and isn't a medical device. It just gives you visibility into something you'd otherwise never have known, so you can bring it up with your doctor if you want to.
A regular fitness band often needs charging every other day, and forget once, and you miss exactly the data you wanted to see.
The Health 4 gets charged Sunday morning, and after that you don't have to think about it for the rest of the week. It sounds like a small thing, but in practice it makes a real difference: no more hunting for the cable, and no more missing nights in your sleep overview.
With a lot of fitness watches, half of what you actually want to see sits behind a paid subscription, usually a small monthly fee for exactly the data that matters most.
With the Health 4, everything is just in the free app, Gard Pro Fit. No monthly fee, no "upgrade to premium", nothing. You keep waiting for the catch, and it doesn't come. That kind of subscription easily runs A$140 to A$200 a year. The Health 4 is a one-time A$119.99.
If you work full time, a bad night's sleep tends to follow you through the whole next day.
A regular fitness band shows light and deep sleep, with tidy graphs. The Health 4 goes a step further and also screens for signs of sleep apnoea, those brief moments where your breathing pauses at night without you noticing, which can be a reason you never quite wake up rested. Same honesty here as with the heart rhythm: it doesn't diagnose anything, but it gives you something to bring to your doctor. Every morning, one glance gives a clear picture.
Some days feel busier than others. The Health 4 tracks a stress trend throughout the day, based on your heart rate and its variation.
What it confirms is often something you already felt. That one meeting shows up again in the graph that evening. If the tense feeling drags on too long, that's a good sign to take a step back, sometimes with a short two-minute breathing exercise. It calms things down right away.
A fairly unknown brand, spending A$119.99 on it, made me a bit cautious at first, so I decided to test it before letting myself get convinced. On a Tuesday evening around 7:30, I sent a message with a question about the extra bands. Within half an hour, I got an answer.
Setting it up took about five minutes. Download the app, pair it, done. A Dutch company. An average of 4.4 on Trustpilot, with over 10,000 reviews. Two-year warranty. Quite a bit more than I expected at this price.
Fair is fair. This isn't a sports watch for someone obsessed with training zones. Contactless payments from your wrist, like the pricier well-known watches offer, aren't part of it. The app keeps things concrete: your heart, your sleep, your movement, your stress. Plus messages and calls from your wrist, without it turning into a screen you stare at all day. And honestly, that was exactly why I bought it. Just a daily check, not a second job.

Real Gard Pro owners sharing their experience.
Without a doubt a great smart watch. Thought it might get some interference from the work I do. Handling machinery with high hand vibration. No interference whatsoever. Couldn’t recommend enough. Great value for money, robust, waterproof dust proof. Tradesmen dream watch.
The watch is great when comparing it to the Apple ultra top spec which I still use. The Gardpro is literally plug and play, battery life is amazing, highly recommend it for those looking for a time piece that pretty much covers everything a smart watch should. Subtle difference in the calorie measurement though, seems to tally less than the Apple does. Suppose it could be down to settings and config etc… either way great product. Need more watch faces to choose from..
Great customer service, and a fantastic product in the gard pro ultra 3. Excellent battery life and big clear screen which is eay to navigate. Very pleased with my purchase.
Great product,price is the best in this segment and certainly rugged with more than enough features for anyone.
Very happy indeed, quick and easy ordering and transaction. Received it quicker than I expected. The watch is great and well worth the money. I have had mine just over two weeks, I charged it as soon as I got it and I still have over 60% battery life. I have now brought my wife one.
I am very satisfied with my smartwatch. All the health indicators work accurately and it looks very well on . It also feels very light you wouldn't realise you were wearing a watch. I would definitely recommend it.
It was the wedding anniversary gift for my husband and he LOVED IT ! The look with the size of the watch (He is 6"4) is amazing, colour and features (especially at the gym he said). I'm glad that I bought this for him! Very satisfied :)
I bought this watch for my wife because I was so impressed with my own. My wife has several medical issues that require her to monitor her BP, heart rate and body temperature at regular intervals. She has also started trying to increase the number of steps a day to help herself. The Gardpro can do all of this and more for a very competitive price. Highly recommend.
This watch is for my teenage son and he loves it. He says it has long battery life. He checks his text messages, measures his workouts and progress, and says it fits well. Delivery took a little longer than I was expecting but that wasn't a big deal.
The watch is of a very good build quality, it looks sleek and premium. Super easy to set up and the battery (so far) is amazing as I have not had to charge it yet and it's been nearly three weeks! I would certainly recommend as I personally can't justify the prices of the 'branded' smart watches but with this one you dont need to. Loads of features and all working well. Great purchase and a reassuring guarantee from the company.
Great watch. Love the "analogue" face. Easy to navigate. Easy to check daily steps. Robust structure. Comfortable to wear. Excellent for keeping tabs on walking and cycling distances. Very glad I bought it.
The information in the marketing was backed up by a quality product. Very happy with the delivery time and value for money smart watch which has all the features I required. I was also impressed with the clarity and volume of the builtin speaker. The blutooth connection range is also great and better than I expected. All in all a great value for money well made watch.
My Gard pro watch is exactly as it was described. It was easy to set up. I had a problem with my first watch and customer service was prompt in replying and walking me through the process in rectifying the problem. I would definitely recommend this company and watch to friends and family.
I ordered a watch from Gard pro for my partner. He was extremely pleased with it but unfortunately the strap broke. I got in touch with customer service and they sorted it out straight away, even sent me a spare. Fantastic watch and incredible service. Thank you.
I bought a Samsung Smart watch 1st and was so disappointed with the short battery life for the price so got my money back and bought a Ultra 3 and have been amazed with the battery life. All of the functions I wanted in a smart watch work great along with the app so really pleased with the watch and would very much recommend.
This is by far the best watch. The screen and all the other apps are clear. I previously had ultra watch and this health series 3 watch is much better than ultra series. Thank you Gard Pro for your fantastic support.
I have never owned a smartwatch before and had questions about it. Gardpro was very helpful and provided excellent customer service. Thank you!
good communication while watch was being shipped,honest communication. Was easy to set up with app. Seems good quality. Easy reading and good choice of watch faces.
