We ran a marathon with the best Garmin, the best Apple Watch and Strava

From a user’s perspective, it’s difficult to know exactly how accurate your wearable is. For example, if you’re in the market for the best running watch, what are the chances that you’ll have the opportunity to strap on two different models at once and run the same route to compare that data? And even if you do manage to find a way to do so, how do you determine which of the two is more accurate?

These are the questions that keep me up at night. As TechRadar’s Fitness and Wearables Editor, it’s my job to figure out how to reliably test wearables in order to determine how accurate they are. My two gold standards are the Garmin Epix Pro (one of the best Garmin watches) and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (which we’ve ranked the best smartwatch, period); but I’ve never before pitted them against each other, nor have I had a more reliable third party to test them against. So, I decided to do just that – running the TCS London Marathon.
