The Full Story

Pace Pro keeps everything that makes the Pace line great and adds real navigation, making it the pick for runners who occasionally explore new routes or trails. Still light, still focused, just a bit more capable.

The Race pairs a bright touchscreen display with offline maps and long battery life at a price that consistently beats comparable Garmin and Polar options. A strong pick for runners who also dabble in triathlon.

*Estimated — this model's exact GPS battery life isn't published by the manufacturer. All figures are standard GPS mode, midsize case, no solar boost.

†Estimated — this model launched too recently to have an established customer rating yet.
