The 18 Best Fitness Trackers (2024), Tested and Reviewed– Brit Commerce

The best running watch will probably always be a Garmin Forerunner. The line is one of Garmin’s oldest and ranges from the basics Forerunner 55 ($170) To the expensive ones Forerunner 965 ($500)They all have different specifications and graduated features – for example, the cheaper ones have cheaper screens and no blood oxygen sensors. However, they all have access to multiple satellite systems for precise positioning, as well as Garmin’s proprietary training algorithms. The workouts suggested by Garmin are flexible.

The Forerunners also age pretty well, which means you’re getting a bargain if you can find last year’s watch on sale (see the Forerunner 255). However, I think the Forerunner 165 (8/10, Recommends) is a good option for most people. It’s on the more affordable end of the spectrum, but it has everything you need, including a bright AMOLED display, an altimeter for more accurate mileage, and a blood oxygen sensor. I found sleep and workout tracking to be fairly accurate, battery life is decent, and I really like Garmin’s Morning Report, which wakes you up with a rundown of your stats from the previous night—how well you slept, the weather, and how ready you are to take on the day. The Music version costs an extra $50 and may be more trouble than it’s worth, but other than that it’s a pretty solid option for even more advanced runners.

★ Alternative: I wish Garmin’s Forerunner line wasn’t so good! Otherwise, the Pace 3 Choirs ($229) It would be an ideal candidate for this position. Because Coros uses a battery-efficient display, the Pace watches are incredibly lightweight, durable, and comfortable, with very long battery life—I wore it for two weeks last fall without having to charge it once. It has dual-frequency GPS that tracked my interval runs without issue. (I was trying to see how long I could keep up with Eliud Kipchoge, since he is a One of his partners—the answer is “not very long.”) It does everything that much more expensive trackers do, such as breadcrumb navigation. However, its 1980s look and darker display may be off-putting to some.
