As a fitness editor, I sweat-test some of the best running watches for a living, so know what I’m looking for when it comes to gadgets designed to be worn on the go. From the best Garmins, to the new, huge, Apple Watch Ultra, I’ve tested some of the most popular watches on the market, making it tricky to choose what to wear on my wrist for my fifth marathon — the TCS London Marathon, this weekend. 

My watch of choice? The new Garmin Forerunner 965 — despite only having the watch on my wrist for a few weeks, this bright, beautiful Forerunner has become my go-to and the watch I trust to pace me around 26.2 miles this weekend. Read on to find out why I picked this over Apple or any of the other running watches on the market.
