GPS Running Watches
GPS running watches not only allow you to track metrics like time, calories burned, and activity, but they record your route so you can see your distance, pace, cadence, elevation, and a variety of other data.
They’re an excellent choice for runners who are more advanced and want to record and analyze data to help them improve.
Fitness Tracker
Fitness trackers usually offer basic running data like steps taken, distance, time, and calories burned.
Some of them can also analyze sleep patterns and heart rate, but they’re usually much less comprehensive than GPS running watches.
Fitness trackers are a good choice for beginner runners who don’t need comprehensive data and want something more simple.
