THE OVERALL WINNER IS…

GARMIN FORERUNNER 945

From $859, garmin.com

WE’RE IMPRESSED Offers more fitness features than its rivals; great battery life; as good for the gym as the track, monitoring weight training, intervals and treadmill running. WE’D IMPROVE High price point; lacks the versatility of other true smartwatches.

If you’re looking for a dedicated fitness smartwatch, the Forerunner 945 is your best bet. This is undoubtedly a specialist running watch, rather than a generalist smartwatch – which is reflected in the price and feature set – but with its multi-purpose tracking and offline maps, this should be the fitness fan’s go-to watch.
