The Apple Watch certainly didn’t start out as a great running watch (it didn’t even have built-in GPS), but over time, that has changed. There’s a good argument to say it’s now not only one of the best smartwatch for runners, but it’s also giving the likes of Garmin and Polar a run for their money on the run tracking front as well, especially with the advent of the Apple Watch Ultra.
The latest iterations of the best Apple Watches are smartwatches packed with the hardware to deliver that strong tracking performance and crucially, the software for runners is improving seemingly with every iteration of Apple’s watchOS operating system.
