1. Garmin Forerunner 245
The 245 is the latest offering from Garmin. And it does not disappoint one bit. The upgrade has some neat features, the best of which is you can download a workout straight to the watch and just run.
2. COROS Apex Pro
From a run, straight to work. The Apex Pro feels stylish and functional whether you are on the road or in an office. The clean, minimalist design enables runners to focus rather than get distracted.
3. Timex Ironman
The Ironman because we are soft for the old school. This is the watch that made running fashionable. Once the preserve of the serious, nothing spells athlete quite like the Timex watch.
4. Polar Vantage V2
This is like wearing a fitness test right on your wrist. The V2 will display your NO2 levels and indicate how fit you are. The screen can be a bit distracting though.
5. Apple Watch
Not a pure running companion, but the Apple Watch gives you everything you need. And more. Plus its Health App gives you an insight into your health and recovery.
