My two favorite running watches are both at all-time lows

The Garmin Forerunner 265 and Forerunner 965 are fantastic watches; the only challenge is deciding which you need.

Channeling his love of running, he established himself as an expert on fitness watches, testing and reviewing models from Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung, Apple, COROS, Polar, Amazfit, Suunto, and more.
