This watch has a 1.4-inch display, and it’s been tested to US military standards for thermal, shock and water resistance. It has built-in sports apps, multi-GNSS support, sensors and maps, and it can help you pace your running with its PacePro feature. It can also play music on your wrist without you having to pair it with a phone. It has features related to heart rate and blood oxygen as well.
This Fenix 7 has a 47mm case and gets up to 22 days of battery life in smartwatch mode with solar charging. It also keeps track of your heart rate and has plenty of preloaded activities, maps and more, along with the ability to store music on your wrist.

This second-gen Epix smartwatch has a 1.3-inch always-on AMOLED touchscreen display and gets up to six days of battery life, or 16 days of battery life when in smartwatch mode. The fitness tracking and mapping support is great, but it does lack heart-health features and a microphone for taking calls. Note the model currently on sale is the titanium black version, not the platinum.
The Vivoactive 5 is the newest model in the Vivoactive line, which offer many of the same perks smartwatches offer but in a more slender package. This includes more advanced movement sensors, to track moves beyond simply taking steps, pulse-ox tracking, accident detection and contactless payments. It features 11 hours of battery life or up to 21 hours if in GPS-only mode. It comes in four colors, all of which are currently $50 off at Best Buy.
This watch offers eight days of battery life on a single charge and boasts many of the features of the Venu series, though it does lack some of the heart-monitoring tech available on the other models. There are a number of variants available at different prices, though you can snag the 45mm size at a discount as well.
The Forerunner series has a lot of different features depending on which model you select, but if you’re a runner, these are optimal for training. There are more models available below, but we wanted to highlight the Forerunner 945, the premium running and triathlon smartwatch with music, as it’s exceptionally durable and offers the most features.
