The NO-BS Guide to Running Watches for 2024

Рет қаралды 8,080

Күн бұрын

We spent the last 8 months testing running watches of different brands and different prices. It's not really a matter of which one is best, but a matter of which watch is best for which runner/use.
As usual nobody sent us watches for review, we buy them all at retail so that we can stay independent.
We have in-depth video reviews of all the watches mentioned in the video:
- Garmin Forerunner 165: • Garmin Forerunner 165 ...
- Suunto Race: • SUUNTO Race - The one...
- G-Shock GBD-H2000: • "We threw it down a wi...

- Fitbit Charge 6: • Fitbit Charge 6 - A Se...
- Coros Pace 3: • Coros Pace 3 Review - ...
- Garmin Forerunner 265: • Garmin Forerunner 265 ...

I guess Polar does not count :) I used Garmin and their data was too much for me. Now I have Polar Pacer Pro. Yes, it is a boring watch with a dim screen and syncing issues, their training plans are much better for beginner runners than Garmins. It is clean and not overwhelming.

Love your channels and reviews, I must say that the best watch out there in my opinion is the garmin epix pro gen 2 And Apple Watch is super too

I love your reviews. Thank you for being so thorough. I have been an experienced runner, but I took some time off. Now I am starting to train for my first marathon. I have no idea what to buy. I used to use an Apple Watch… but no. What is your favorite watch?

@Runningshoesgurucom Ай бұрын

Right now, Best bang for buck is the coros pace 3

Thank you so much for your response. I have watched all your reviews. They are incredibly helpful and will done. There are so many watches on the market. I am paralyzed by all the choices. I watched your other more in-depth video on the Coros Pace 3. You mentioned this watch is great for men. I am 57 years old woman. 5-foot distance runner. Is there a runner-up to this watch?

@Runningshoesgurucom Ай бұрын

That would be my recommendation! Coros Pace 3

How’s the Garmin FR 165 ranks higher than 265? I’m asking because I’m indecisive between both of them and I’m not a beginner runner and I’m not a pro either

more value for money

Hey guys, if i wear watches like this, can i run without having to bring my phone? Feels like a hassle. I just wanna track my time and distance. Maybe cal and heartbeat as well. Thanks in advance!

That's what modern watches will do! No phone needed

Te equivocas con la duración de la batería deja al SUUNTO RACE, es el mejor con pantalla AMOLED, está dando datos irreales, yo lo tengo y por eso lo puedo decir

@i.p2088 2 ай бұрын

I have the 745 which looks like they stopped making.. I don't need music or navigation but do want all other possible data as I am a long run.

@highseastrader4190 2 ай бұрын

Yes, they stopped the 7xx series since the 2xx gained triathlon/multisports sport profiles.

So the Apple Watche Ultra is a no go?

@Runningshoesgurucom 2 ай бұрын

I'm sure it's a great watch, we just haven't tested it yet

@highseastrader4190 2 ай бұрын

It's too expensive and not a running-focused watch.
