So it’s important that we are not declaring whether X manufacturer’s smartwatch is better than Y’s.

On the other hand, you can be somewhat objective and decide whether X method is practical or not for Y purpose. Dr. Mesko used the following categories in the video, so let’s stick with these: S Superb A Great B Fine C Meh D Bad E Never again Here we go!
