Garmin Forerunner 55

£179.99, garmin.com

It’s called a Forerunner because of its very capable – and nicely simplified – runtracking skills. But Garmin’s lightweight, entry-level sports watch actually offers a solid all-round fitness package for under £200. Particularly if you want a more compact design and need coaching and motivation.

A Suggested Workouts feature recommends watch-guided runs and training sessions tailored to you, so it’s easy to stitch together fitness-boosting streaks. You also get built-in optical heart rate tracking, Fitness Age estimates, sleep, stress and breathing rate. The Forerunner also boasts a battery life that’ll happily survive two weeks of training, if you’re getting your sweat on three to four times a week. Design ★★★★★ Insights ★★★ ★ OVERALL ★★★ ★
