Wahoo Elemnt Rival watch, £349.99, uk.wahoofitness.com

Sometimes part of the beauty of adventure is not knowing where you’re going – being able to get lost without being truly lost. Wahoo’s Elemnt

Rival watch has all the tracking capabilities you’d want, including support for an array of different sports and a special triathlon mode, so you can get your stats without a computer.

If you want both, the Elemnt Rival is able to be paired with other Wahoo devices, allowing you to see your live heart rate on your computer, which is handy for controlled efforts. It can also receive texts, calls and emails.
