It usually takes 1-2 hours to fully charge the device via a USB port. Do not use a fast charging power source (9V), otherwise it may shorten the device’s battery life. The first watch from Suunto to have its carbon footprint calculated — and compensated for — the Peak Pro is made with 100% renewable energy, and has the lowest footprint of any GPS watch on the market at 16.5 lbs CO2e. That’s the same as driving a car roughly 27 miles. Our WH Lab team put more than 40 of the best fitness watches to the test, to bring you their favourites to suit all budgets.

Garmin claims a respectable 40 days of power when in smartwatch mode, which then becomes theoretically unlimited (!) when the solar panel is in play. Functionally this will greatly depend upon your time outside and under direct sunlight, but it’s a bold shift toward total off-grid use. These smart devices will measure running, walking distances, situp count, skipping count, calories burnt and also monitor blood pressure and heart rate.

A few key features highlight what’s been updated since its predecessor. You’ll now get everything offered on the Polar Grit X, Polar’s premium outdoor watch, including its popular Hill Splitter (detailed data for climbs/descents) and FuelWise (reminders for fueling and hydration).

Over 85% of the runners and triathletes we polled use Garmin and highly recommended a Garmin watch. These devices record and monitor data from your fitness activities such as; distance covered while running or walking, calories, blood pressure and heart rate.
