I Tested Garmin Watches for a Decade While Hiking, Biking, and Climbing. Here's What You Should Buy
· By Endurance Wire
In certain circles, the “best Garmin watch” doesn't refer to just a brand but a category definer, like Q-Tip or Band-Aid. From casual hikers to nationally ranked professional athletes, anyone who loves outdoor sports can glean useful information from the bevy of sensors, safety features, and sophisticated software that come with every Garmin watch. A few other fitness trackers have come close to replicating Garmin's durability, wearability, and reliability—notably Suunto and Coros—but the company remains the industry standard. And unlike an Apple Watch , a Garmin watch also works with both iPhones and Android phones.
