Best-looking adventure watch: The Garmin Epix Pro is Garmin's smartest AMOLED-screen watch. This model comes with even more sports modes, 31-day battery life and a built-in flashlight. Three sizes are available: 42mm/1.6 inches, 47mm/1.8 inches and 51 mm/2 inches. We wish there was a skin temperature sensor included, though.

Garmin Epix Gen 2: was $899 now $689 @ Amazon
The Garmin Epix 2 is Garmin’s highest-end model to sport such a high-spec screen, but with the Epix you also get an absurdly long battery life, the ability to track almost every activity, on-board music storage, mobile payments, and much more. The watch comes in three models — stainless steel, black titanium or white titanium.

Garmin Fenix 7: was $699 now $649 @ Garmin
Best for marathons: The Garmin Fenix 7 is a rugged touch-screen watch designed for outdoor activities. This is a large, heavy watch, so this isn't the watch for you if you prefer a sleeker design. But the Garmin Fenix 7 does have plenty of storage, great battery life and water resistance up to 100 meters.

Garmin Vivomove 3S: was $249 now $159 @ Amazon
The Vivomove is one of Garmin's most stylish watches, and can easily be worn all day. The hidden touchscreen responds to your movement, and only appears when you need it, plus the watch can connect to your smartphone's GPS to track outdoor activities. It's probably not the right pick for serious runners, but if you're looking for an attractive smartwatch, it ticks all the right boxes.

Garmin Vivomove Sport: $179 @ Amazon
We think the Garmin Vivomove Sport is the most stylish Garmin watch. It's lightweight and comfortable to wear, comes in four colors and offers useful female health tracking features. Unfortunately, it lacks GPS, so opt for a different watch if you want GPS tracking on the fly.
