So you want to hit the trails... but there is one problem-- how do you track your mileage, heart rate, pace, and progress? That is where the running watch comes into play. There are a multitude of options available for runners and walkers of all level so it is important to determine which one best suits your needs.
Below I have listed my top 3 recommendations from best to worst scored on a 10 point scale:
1. Garmin Enduro
9.5/10
The Garmin Enduro is a great choice for those who plan to truly go the distance. It is called the Enduro for good reason, this watch is known for incredible battery performance and durability.
+ best battery life
+ offers ability to track other sports as well
+ easily connects to your phone within the Garmin app
-some map features lacking
2. Garmin Forerunner 235
8.5/10
The Forerunner 235 is the perfect medium choice for those who want a great range of features but aren't looking to spend too much.
+ easy to use
+accurate measurements
+ easily connects to your phone within the Garmin app
3. Apple Watch 7
7/10
This is my recommendation for beginners and people who are looking for the most versatility. The Apple Watch can be worn every day, on and off the trails which makes it more worth the price.
+ versatile
+ iPhone sync and notification abilities
- less detail in workout summary
- less accuracy in workout summary
