The best running watches are an excellent way to arm yourself with more information about your endurance sports – primarily running, but cycling, swimming and other sports too. On the other hand, if you're a serious ultra-marathoner with money to invest in the sport, get the Garmin Enduro 2. Regular runners up to marathon distance will benefit from going up a couple of price brackets. However, Garmin, Polar and Coros all offer great value system-agnostic watches.įor most people, an estimation of heart rate, accurate GPS and information about your pace, such as distance and time, is going to be all you need up until your first 10K or so, so a cheap Vivoactive will do the job. New stuff added to the list includes the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, which is a great pick for Wear OS fans in in general and Samsung users in particular, and the Apple Watch Ultra (which is the obvious choice if you have an iPhone and can afford the best). Anyone looking for a running watch right now is going to have a very different idea of what they need.
