"Why did I kick butt on my last half marathon? Because of this Garmin Vívoactive HR Watch ($250). I love how easy it is to track the time, distance, and pace on my runs, how quickly the pace changes on the touchscreen in response to my feet, and how well I can see the screen even in bright daylight. I don't have to plug the watch into my computer to see all my runs in one place — it automatically syncs with the app on my phone so I can see my progress. And on my latest 90-degree race day, I was so grateful it was waterproof so I could freely run through sprinklers without worrying about it getting wrecked. The battery lasts 13 hours when in GPS mode. I've worn it every day since I got it last month because I love that it tracks my daily steps and heart rate and notifies me of texts, emails, and phone calls. Best part? You can have it find your phone with a little ding sound." — Jenny Sugar, editor, Fitness
