The Best Running Watches

Don’t ditch it. Keep it for things other than running.

[@pistopitpit]

it’s good for running too. The guy in the video argues it’s not because his battery died. Honestly what sort of idea it is? Are you running for 200km or did you just forgot to charge it before run?

[@loicthebarista]

@@pistopitpiti won't lie, i use and love apple watches but most other fitness watches last more than two days on one charge which is a game changer especially for people who want everything the apple watch offers - sleep tracking , fitness, step tracking music control, on the go text messaging, etc. and most other watches offer those same things plus a much longer battery life

[@chimera2802]

I recently got the Garmin forerunner 55 and man it's amazing, I think it can track you for like 19 hours and the battery lasts for like 5-7 days at a time

[@ComeAlongKay]

Can’t the ultra track you for like thirty hours?

[@Racoons4Change]

[@vermine18]

I have the Garmin Instinct 2. No unnecessary touchscreen nonsense just a sports watch that does the job and has a battery that lasts for 17 days. About 6 days with a lot of activities and gps use.

[@boom5732]

Touchscreen isn't unnecessary for everyone though

[@ComeAlongKay]

Man people are having a very different experience. The product page says it won’t get anywhere near that battery life with gps use, unless you’re barely using it I guess. The ultra should have longer battery life based on the specs.

[@diizzya1343]

Got the coros pace 2 watch about 2 years ago now. I've had runs where I would start at around 8% battery life and finish 7 miles and still have 8% battery. Additionally, you only charge it like once every 2-3 weeks, depending on how much you run. Only takes about 30 mins to charge it in my experience. Has an insanely accurate v02 max calculator on top of that. Only downside is the race predictor on the app. Might be accurate for other people, but in my experience it would tell me I was in shape to run like a 15 min 5k when I didn't feel anywhere near that shape. Pretty sure they fixed this though with a recent update.

[@Eric-fu7yf]

lol same with my garmin watch, it says I can run a 15 min 3k when there’s absolutely no chance

[@ryanhallstrom6680]

[@kylelay6858]

Moving to Garmin (or similar watch) from Apple Watch is a running milestone and should be celebrated lol

[@ComeAlongKay]

That’s odd as I guess maybe it’s better for sports or something but the ultra Apple Watch should outperform the other ones as well as rank well for other features like sleep tracking.

[@phishphood423]

I went from Garmin back to Apple (Ultra II). Sick of having tons of different devices. My Garmin just felt like a massively less functional Apple Watch with a small benefit of better battery life and less weight. I wouldn’t crank a track workout with my Ultra, but I wouldn’t crank a track workout with any watch regardless. Annoying additional app too. Plus the Ultra means: no phone on runs (running with phones should be illegal), plays music with any Bluetooth headphones, can make calls and text if I need to, medical ID if I get hurt, satellite SOS if I really need it, built in maps functionality, the list goes on. So I have to charge it once every 36ish hours, oh well.

[@Izroe]

You can also make it to wear the Apple Watch isn’t always on full display and the battery life last longer

[@chadrichards8930]

amazfit trex might sound cheap and it might not be popular but i f'n love it. HR is stupid accurate, battery lasts over 2 weeks with heart rate updates every minute (which reduces battery life the most). perfect for my runs, gives good sleep data etc

[@phunchu8202]

What is the GPS like? And does it connect to strava?

[@chadrichards8930]

@phunchu8202 the GPS is very accurate. If I'm running on the sidewalk and run 3 feet to the right to avoid geese it picks that up and shows it in the data map afterwards. It is compatible with 3rd party apps etc but I do not use strata so I can't say for 100% certainty

Battery has never been an issue for me on the Apple watch. It lasts a full day on one charge. I just charge it when I go to bed and put it on when I wake up and it’s good from 6 am to midnight with some charge left over. If you use it to track sleep data you’ll have to find another time to charge instead of charging at night.

Coros makes some incredible stuff. Their top of the line vertix 2 lasts for 45 days when not in gps mode, which is just unreal

What a stupid and condescending answer. I use it for running and cycling and charge it every night as well. It has died on me many times. If I do more than one workout or go on a longer bike tour (over 4 hours) it dies. I am looking for a new watch now because it’s absolutely insufferable
