The best multisport smartwatches for athletes who can?t sit still
The best multisport smartwatches for athletes who can?t sit still
Credit: Jimmy Westenberg / Android Authority The best multisport smartwatches keep up with even the most active athletes. If one activity isn’t enough, shop our picks below for a device that can track even more. Buying the right multisport watch for your needs To be clear, the wearables market doesn’t strictly define the multisport smartwatch. However, for the purposes of this list, we only consider watches with a specific multisport mode to be multisport watches. In other words, some watches can track everything from running to skiing to tai chi. But not every watch allows athletes to start a singular workout involving multiple activities (for example, a triathlon). Many watches require users to switch modes mid-activity and save each sport as a unique file. We’re not counting those. Keep this distinction in mind when shopping and consider the following:
Garmin Fenix 7 Series: The best multisport watch from Garmin Credit: Jimmy Westenberg / Android Authority Garmin has always been a leader in the sports watch realm, and the Fenix series represents the best of what Garmin has to offer. In short, the Fenix 7 Series continues to raise the bar with a new touchscreen display and staggering battery life. It also opens the door to new shoppers with tons of sizes and color options. In addition to solar charging and GPS, the Fenix 7 series offers accurate fitness tracking and robust health monitoring. Garmin also added the ability to edit most watch functions from the Garmin Connect companion app, simplifying users’ experience. Fans will find all the best tools the company offers, including PacePro, real-time stamina, Health Snapshot, Body Battery, and much more. Assuming you can stomach the high price tag, you’ll get an excellent all-around multisport watch with this pick. Garmin Fenix 7 series More solar models and a touchscreen display The Garmin Fenix 7 series is a big upgrade from the Fenix 6 line. It's offered in more solar-charging models, each of which has a touchscreen display for easier device navigation. The new real-time stamina and visual race predictor features should prove useful for anyone training for their next big race. If you opt for the Fenix 7X, you'll even get an on-wrist flashlight for when you're exercising in dark environments. Check out our full review to learn more about the Garmin Fenix 7. Garmin Forerunner 945: The best Garmin multisport watch for triathlon runners Credit: Garmin For runners and triathletes specifically, the Garmin Forerunner 945 is the cream of the crop. Like the Fenix 7, it features Garmin’s PacePro and ClimbPro modes, training load focus stats, heat and altitude acclimation, and of course, Body Battery, all-day stress tracking, a pulse oximeter for SpO2 readings, Garmin Pay, music storage, and more. On the other hand, it isn’t quite as durable as the Fenix line. It doesn’t offer solar charging and skips out on a few performance metrics and activity profiles. Simply put, the Fenix 7 series is the way to go if you want the best Garmin has to offer. The Forerunner is a great, well-rounded device for a little less cash. Unless you are a very active outdoor enthusiast, it is probably more than capable of keeping up with your needs. Garmin Forerunner 945 LTE Don’t miss: The best Garmin watches you can buy More... |
