Best New Fitness Trackers and GPS Watches
Courtesy Image Training: Whoop 4.0 This data-driven strap tracks strain, recovery and sleep for personalized insights that help maximize gains. Already wearing a watch and don’t want to double up? The newest version stealthily integrates into the brand’s new line of garments—including compression tops, tights, shorts and boxers—to collect metrics from the torso, waist or calf. It can even wake you up with gentle vibrations at the ideal time based on your daily sleep needs. [From $30/month; whoop.com] Get it
Courtesy Image Skiing and Mountaineering: Garmin Enduro This wrist-bound supercomputer handles gnarly terrain, but the main selling point is a battery that’ll outlast your wildest backcountry treks. A solar-charging lens converts sunlight into battery power for up to 80 hours in GPS mode—even when using multiple global navigation satellite systems. In case emergency strikes while sending info, accident detection features send your location to a preprogrammed contact. [$800; garmin.com] Get it

Road Running: Coros Pace 2 Eliud Kipchoge, the fastest marathoner ever, won the Tokyo 2020 Olympics men’s marathon wearing this watch.
