I have an old Garmin Forerunner that is in desperate need of an upgrade. The interface it pretty clunky and the battery life is awful. Any recommendations?

The floor. If I feel it in the morning I'm fit enough for another day.

I've been using the fitbit Versa for a few months now. It works well with my iPhone and lets you download music from pandora, etc. so you can run without carrying your phone (but only if you have airpods). Friends who have it say the GPS is sometimes inconsistent with MyMyRun's distance but I don't have any experience with that issue. I also find it useful to get alerts (vibrates) when I get text messages / phone calls and my phone is on silent and not nearby. I'd recommend it, but haven't used other trackers to compare.

My mind, it lets me know when enough is enough.

I have a Forerunner 235 that's great. I read all the reviews first and this one came up as a top contender in all of them, especially for the price. If I was willing to pay more I would go for the next higher version with all the different sports trackers.
I've tried the different Fitbits and they were OK but Garmin perfected GPS tracking years ago. It even uses the Russian GPS as well if you want, making it super accurate. Plus mine lasts all week.

CPT Private RallyPoint Member I like my Apple Watch. I have a 42mm one that has a water proof mode as I swim laps. It handles a range of outdoor activity and weight training.

Is running your passion? To effectively improve your performance, you need to measure some critical data, whether you are a beginner or a professional. Only those who know your heart rate, heart rate zones, distance, and more can optimally plan their workouts. For this purpose, it is advisable to use fitness trackers. Personally, I use a model like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5. They provide comprehensive support for sports and monitoring of health parameters and are the perfect complement to a smartphone. After buying them, I realized I needed to evolve with new technology, so I pawned some of my old mechanical watches at https://www.newbondstreetpawnbrokers.com/loans-against-fine-watches-2/. Still lying idle.
