No matter how many other watches I test, I come back to Garmin like an old friend. Thebest Garmin watcheshave excellent battery life, a phenomenal companion app in Garmin Connect, full-color maps with turn-by-turn directions (that, crucially, can be usedwithincertain workout profiles and with Garmin’s excellent Route Creation technology) and many of them can still do all the smartwatchy stuff like take calls, texts, store music and so on.

Right now, you can get great Prime Day deals on Garmin watches, whether you’re in the US or the UK.
