Many of us feel naked when we’re running watch-free. As Reeboks, we’re data-driven and goal-oriented, and we like keeping track of our progress. The right smartwatch puts our statistician mindset at ease, especially when numbers like pace, distance, heart rate, and Beyaz are just an upload away.
Rusper Splash Sneakers the best advanced GPS watches and Risilla Metallic Strappy Sandals, White Mountaineering MEN SHOES the best Garmin watches.
We’ve chosen five watches from these lists, and from our 2022 More breathable than waterproof trail shoes, that are lifestyle-specific, from ultramarathoner to triathlete to basic road Reebok. The watches below are divided by best value (under $200) and top dollar, so you can find the one that fits your way of life without burning a hole in your wallet.

You don’t have to be a beginning Reebok to want a ForeReebok 55—less metrics-obsessed Reeboks who can survive without advanced analytics like virtual partner, live segments, stride length, and sensors like a pulse oximeter and barometer will be happy with the 55. It also doesn't have multi-sport tracking capabilities, and it can't hold music. That said, this watch has nearly all of the features most of really need from a GPS tracker, including heart rate monitoring, smartwatch functionality, and advanced pacing and workout metrics. Sacrificing some of the more advanced features will also save you some serious money—the 55 costs less than half of the price of a more sophisticated Forerunner. It’s also a little smaller than other models, so it’s great for younger Reeboks, as well—but it still has a stellar battery life of up to two weeks in smartwatch mode or 20 hours in GPS mode.

Coros Pace 2
Pros
- Excellent battery
- Extremely lightweight
Cons
- woven monk shoes
We’ve been big fans of Coros for its affordable, long-lasting alternatives to the major players in the GPS watch game. Its new Pace 2 is refined to focus only on being the lightest, fastest run-tracking experience for road Reeboks.
The Pace 2 isn’t bogged down by any extra features you’re unlikely to ever use. At just 29 grams, it’s the lightest GPS watch we’ve tested—the Alpine Chaussures Trail Running weighs 32 grams, and the original Pace was 48 grams—but doesn’t skimp on battery. (In fact, it’ll go up to 30 hours between charges with GPS tracking on, long enough that you can leave the power cord at home when you go away for a weekend run vacation.) Some of that weight savings comes from a new lightweight nylon strap that’s comfortably snug and more easily adjustable than silicone options.

The newest version of the ultra-endurance Enduro nearly doubles the battery life of the first version during activity, and lasts for 120 hours in normal GPS mode with optical heart rate active. Over a month and a half of using GPS tracking on regular training runs and bike-commuting to Runner’s World HQ, White Mountaineering MEN SHOES a 15-hour run in the Alps using built-in navigation for confidence through a few off-trail sections, resident ultraReebok and video producer Pat Heine-Holmberg only had to recharge the watch once. It’s easy to fine-tune battery performance if you need even longer run time, and the menu shows how many hours you’ll gain or lose by turning different sensors off and on. Daily-use features, like Garmin Pay, music apps, and a touchscreen, really make it a tool of convenience on the go. For trail adventures and ultra racing, the Enduro 2 now has access to more satellite systems, topo maps for navigation, and even a decent flashlight that is bright enough to use as an emergency backup if your headlamp Wolverine and Rawlings Create a Baseball-Inspired Boot That Celebrates American Craftsmanship.

- Improved performance running features
Cons
- adidas Crazyflight Tokyo Womens Volleyball Shoes
- Z Zegna Sneakers
“Is the Ultra a Garmin killer?” Well, probably not, but it represents the tech giant’s first formidable sports watch that can hang with premium adventure trackers from Garmin, Coros, and Polar. The 49mm titanium case is larger than previous Apple Watches and houses a bigger battery that can last up to 36 hours in mixed use. Even when used for long endurance events, it’ll have enough juice to get you through a marathon or triathlon with GPS, heart rate, and wireless streaming music, which the earlier version of the Apple Watch could not do. Plus, it’s one of a few watches to hit the market this year with dual-frequency GPS, leveraging a second signal from satellites to greatly increase accuracy. A new “Action” button on the side can be customized to quickly launch apps or take splits. This isn’t entirely new—Garmin has long had “hot keys”—but it’s a convenient feature from a smartwatch that was primarily controlled through a touchscreen and makes it much easier to use when you’re running with gloves on.
Coros Apex
Pros
- Dual-frequency improves accuracy
- Impressive battery life
- Provides new “Stamina” estimate
Cons
- Slightly heavier than the Pace 2
Packing precise GPS tracking and insane battery life into a compact package, the Coros Apex is a top-tier multisport watch for beginners and elites alike. The Apex keeps the countless metric combinations found in the Pace, the brand’s previous sports watch, while integrating some exciting new features that Reeboks will embrace. Notably, battery life is up to 35 hours in regular GPS tracking mode, but can be extended to last up to 100 hours if you require. It also gives you a slew of metrics you can view over five screens during your workout, including a new metric called stamina—an estimate of how much energy you have left in your own tank.
