Garmin Fenix 2

It’s scratch-resistant, waterproof to 50 meters, and sports a rechargeable battery that’ll last for 20 hours in GPS mode and up to five weeks in watch mode. An ANT+ radio pairs with external devices (heart rate monitors, power sensors, etc) and Bluetooth capabilities allow connections to be made with your smartphone or a Garmin Virb camera. The classic features are still there – the altimeter, barometer, compass, mapping/navigation/breadcrumbs, the reliable TracBack system to keep from getting lost, and of course, the requisite pace/time/distance tracking. Garmin has been at the top of our list for GPS watches ever since our editor got his first Forerunner watch. The Fenix was the next huge step forward with its garage of features for running, hiking, and backpacking. The Fenix 2 takes things a step further by keeping the functions that made it a hit, adding a stack of features, and cramming it all into an even slimmer watch.
