Top-rated Garmin watch that’s perfect for running, swimming and hiking discounted on Amazon Australia

When it comes to fitness watches, in my mind, there is only one brand that reigns supreme and that I will turn to time and again when training to hit a new PB: Garmin.

But often costing four figures, the brand’s latest and greatest fitness watches are a big investment.

And you’re not the only one if you’re reluctant to fork out.

When it comes to what sets the watch apart, there is much about which to report.

Built with an always-on, full colour display that is light on the wrist and easy to read, even when it’s in direct sunlight, the watch has an impressive battery life of up to 15 days in smartwatch mode.

It also promises to give you a “full picture of your health”, whether that’s how well and how deeply you’re sleeping at night to how much your training is improving.

The watch not only has traditional button controls, but it also has a responsive touchscreen that’s perfectly suited for runners.

There is also built-in mapping to keep you on track if you’re hiking on densely covered trails.

Other features of the impressive smartwatch include training readiness scores every day based on your sleep quality, recovery, training load and more — so you can determine whether it’s a good day to go hard or take it easy.

There’s also an in-built race widget, which provides training tips, personalised daily suggested workouts and predictions of how fast you’re completing something based on the course details, weather and your performance.

It’s possible to use the waterproof watch for a number of different sports, with up to 30 included such as cycling, triathlon, pool and open-water swimming, track running and more.

You can also see your health and fitness information, connect and compete with friends, sign up for challenges to earn badges and more — all in one free, zero-subscription app.

I have tried this Garmin watch and have been loving its various features.

Upon taking the Forerunner out for a run, I was pleasantly surprised by a number of features I haven’t had in a Forerunner before.

Not only did the watch predict my “Training Readiness” based on how much running I had done this week, but there are also clever features like “Training Status”, which indicates how fit you are at any given point.

There is also everything you’d expect from a Garmin, like the weather report, GPS maps, step count and HRV (heart rate variability status).

I love the battery life of this watch — which is infinitely better than my previous model.

I find I can go days (even a week?) without needing to charge it, despite often wearing it for 24 hours a day.

Reviewers agree with me, with shoppers on Amazon giving it a 4.8 star rating.

“Worth every dollar!” wrote one.

“If you are looking for a watch that does everything you need this is it.

“Battery life is amazing and the solar recharge really helps prolong the battery without the need to recharge often.The maps and GPS accuracy is spot on and the detail is way better then I was expecting on a watch.”

Another said: “Great item”.
