Looking to sweat it out with a new smartwatch, but want even more features than you’d get with just a Fitbit? The best fitness trackers can not only help you understand your exercise habits but give you real-time health data to help you hit all your workout goals — and there’s no better personal trainer to have by your side than the Garmin Forerunner 55.

Garmin is best known for its GPS hardware, and their Forerunner multisport smartwatch has rave reviews, not only for its top-notch location tracking, but for its serious fitness tracking features and feedback on your workouts. Already well-priced under $200, you can take an additional 16% off on Amazon thanks to an October Prime Day deal.

Built-in training tools help you with everything from race time pacing and predictions, to GPS-based pace guidance for specific courses or distances. You can also sync your watch to different activity profiles for running, cycling, swimming, pilates, HIIT, breathwork and more. Get up to two weeks of battery life on a single charge.

We love this as a go-to smartwatch and activity tracker, but don’t just take our word for it: almost 80% of users give this Garmin watch a full, five-star review. See full details here.

In addition to daily fitness and wellness tracking, this Garmin watch is also great for pairing with music. Hooking up the phone to streaming apps like Spotify and Amazon Music is a breeze, and you can easily store and play up to 500 songs on the watch over Bluetooth — no need to figure out where to stash your phone on a run. Garmin says the improved touchscreen, meantime, is easy to read and use — even in direct sunlight.

Garmin says a single charge should get you up to 30 hours with the GPS on, and that’s while listening to music, too. You should be able to improve battery life to a whopping 14 days by using it in low-power smartwatch mode. Either way, the battery is built to last through long treks and intense workouts alike.

If you’re serious about a smartwatch that can handle everything in the great outdoors, the Garmin Forerunner 255 is your best bet. We recommend that you snag this 25% off deal while it’s still on, and be fully prepared to hit the trails. Get the deal here.
