Best for runners: The Garmin Forerunner 570 has hit the market. It comes with a bunch of useful features, including a bright AMOLED touchscreen display, 11 days of battery life and new adjustable font size on the display. There's even an on-board microphone that lets you take calls directly from your watch. We gave it 4 stars and praised its performance in our Garmin Forerunner 570 review.

Best budget Garmin: This is the Garmin to get if you're buying a running watch for the first time. It offers a bright screen, easy to read stats, and long battery life.

Best for triathlons: Garmin's new premium watch is a stunner. One of the new features we're most excited about is the running economy feature — when used with the Garmin HRM-600 chest monitor, this feature can help you improve your form by measuring how efficiently you're running. It also has a new sapphire crystal AMOLED display, a built-in LED flashlight and up to 15 days of battery life (up to 26 hours in GPS mode.)

In our Garmin Forerunner 265 review, we called it "a huge improvement" over the previous model. This iteration of the watch brings a gorgeous AMOLED display with a higher resolution, plus Garmin's Training Readiness Score feature. You also get accurate GPS and lots of advanced training metrics at a glance.

If you just want a simple, lightweight running watch to track your training, the Forerunner 165 is a great value pick — and the Music version comes with 4GB storage to download your favorite tunes from Spotify, Amazon Music or Deezer. This means you can work out and enjoy your music, all while leaving your phone at home.

The Garmin Forerunner 965 packs a bright, beautiful OLED display, accurate heart rate and GPS tracking, and excellent integration with the Garmin Connect app. In our Garmin Forerunner 965 review, we said this is the ideal watch to get if you want a premium training watch with a large screen. However, there's no ECG sensor or support for wireless charging.

The Garmin Forerunner 255 has crashed in price. It’s an old watch, but offers reliably accurate tracking and useful training analysis for both runners and triathletes, all in a lightweight design.

Small but mighty, the Garmin Dash Cam Mini 3 has a whole host of features to keep you and your vehicle safe. It has voice activation, making it a totally hands-free device. There is a mount included to set up the camera with ease, and thanks to anti-glare technology, you don't need to worry about the image being distorted by your windscreen. You can also get the companion app and subscription to get the most out of the dash cam to save and share recordings with ease.

We're all about Garmin smartwatches and fitness trackers, but don't forget that they make some great GPS devices too. The Garmin Drive 53 has a bright, high-resolution screen that's easy to use and provides Garmin Real Directions to keep you on track. There's also integration with Tripadvisor reviews to help you decide where to stop, and a detailed built-in directory.

We rank the Garmin Varia RTL515 as one of the best bike lights. It works as a radar to alert you of approaching vehicles with a sound and visual cue. And the light is visible for up to a mile away.

The Garmin HRM-Fit took the top spot at the Tom's Guide Fitness Awards 2024 for best innovation. This heart rate monitor can be attached to the strap of a sports bra for a more comfortable fit and more accurate heart rate tracking while you're on the move.

Best for battery life: The Garmin Instinct 3 is here, and it comes with a ton of new features. This rugged smartwatch has a new AMOLED display, increased durability thanks to a new metal bezel, and 10 ATM water resistance. You also get more accurate dual-band GPS and up to 24 days of battery life.

It's even got a built-in LED flashlight.

This budget-friendly entry in the Garmin Instinct series just got even cheaper.

It's made with a lightweight plastic bezel, and battery life lasts up to 16 days.

The rugged Instinct 2X Solar is built for adventure, with features like dual-band GPS tracking and a built-in flashlight helping you enjoy the great outdoors. It also has solar panels on the front to stretch the already impressive battery life even further in sunny conditions, and comes in a range of eye-catching colors.

Best for fitness: The Garmin Lily 2 is the latest iteration of Garmin's smartwatch designed for women. It has a 34-millimeter face with a monochromatic touchscreen. It'll keep track of your heart rate, step count, calories burned, pulse ox, stress levels, sleep and more. Unfortunately, there's no built-in GPS, so you'll need to take your phone with you during workouts.

Upgrade to the Classic edition of the Garmin Lily 2 and you'll get NFC, allowing you to use Garmin Pay to make contactless payments from your watch. The Classic version of this smartwatch also comes with a stylish leather strap that further elevates its good looks.

Best Garmin smartwatch: Looking for something different? The Garmin Venu X1 is a unique smartwatch with a super-large, bright AMOLED display and a super-slim design. It's a great rival to the Apple Watch Ultra for sports fans, with better tracking metrics and navigation tools.

It's rare to find the Garmin Venu Sq 2 available for under $200, so this is a deal worth grabbing if you're interested in Garmin's entry-level smartwatch. The Venu Sq 2 has a bright AMOLED display and Garmin's reliable sports tracking.

Want a Garmin for your little ones? The best choice is the Garmin Bounce. This smartwatch tracks activity levels, is swim-friendly and offers up to two days of battery life on a charge. You can also use it to stay in contact with messages and calls and keep an eye on your kid's location. Note: the device requires an active Garmin subscription at $10/month and LTE connectivity.

Best for adventure: Our Garmin Fenix 8 Pro review sums it up pretty well: this is the greatest Fenix yet. While it's a large and bulky smartwatch, we love pretty much everything else about it. Its impressive health and navigation features make it a fully-featured device that's great even when you leave your smartphone at home.

Garmin’s flagship sports and adventure watch is very expensive, but it offers LTE and satellite connectivity as a key upgrade on the standard Fenix 8. However, the biggest star is the MicroLED display, which is brighter and easier to see from every angle.

The Garmin Fenix 8 brings some excellent upgrades, including a sharp AMOLED display, solar charging, and improved water resistance. It's pricy, but one of the best smartwatches around if you do a lot of sports.

Best for golf: In our Garmin Approach S62 review, we said this is the best golf watch an avid player can get. It's got accurate GPS measurements, great virtual caddy analysis and excellent battery life in GPS mode. It's pricy, so if you're a beginner the Garmin Approach S42 may be a better pick.

The Garmin Approach S50 takes most of the excellent features from the more expensive S70 and puts them into a more affordable package. It doesn't skimp on the golf features, though, offering everything you could want to track your rounds and performance on the course.

The Garmin Approach S12 has all the features you could want out of an entry-level golfing watch. It's affordable, has accurate GPS tracking and is pre-loaded with 43,000 courses. The watch lasts for 10 weeks of battery life with GPS off or 30 hours with GPS on. Our Garmin Approach S12 review said this is "good entry-level golf watch with most basic features and solid battery life that lasts several rounds."

If you're looking for the perfect accessory to pair with your Garmin Approach smartwatch, this laser range finder is what you want.

The Garmin Vivoactive 6 is a seriously well-rounded device with 80 fitness modes on board, as well and real-time heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen saturation, women's health and stress tracking. One of its most exciting new features is Smart Alarm, which wakes you up during the light stages of your sleep. It looks super stylish, too.

The Garmin Vivoactive 5 is a comprehensive fitness tracker that comes in at an affordable price. In our Garmin Vivoactive 5 review, we loved this device's gorgeous AMOLED display, access to multitude of sports apps and its advanced health stats like sleep and stress coaching.

The Garmin Enduro 2's price has dropped. Like the name suggests, this Garmin watch has endurance — its solar panel means it can last up to 150 hours in GPS mode or up to 46 days in smartwatch mode. You also get access to advanced navigation, sports and fitness tracking apps and a built-in flashlight.

The Garmin Epix Gen 2 offers impressive battery life for an AMOLED sports watch. Even with the always-on display, it lasts around 10 days on a single charge. My colleague Nick Harris-Fry ran a 2:27 marathon wearing it, and praised this watch for it's reliable tracking and training analysis.
