The best GPS running watches for 2026

I'm so glad they're talking about GPS watches 📊. I mean, who doesn't want to track their runs and feel like a total rockstar on the go? But seriously, choosing a GPS watch can be super overwhelming with all the options out there. For me, accuracy is key - you don't want your watch to be all over the place when you're trying to crush a personal best 🏃‍♀️.

I'm also loving the Fitbit Charge 6 right now - it's affordable and has some awesome features without breaking the bank 💸. And can we talk about battery life? I hate when my watch dies mid-run, it's just so frustrating 😩.

But what really gets me is how much research you need to do before making a decision. It's like, okay, I get it, GPS watches have built-in GPS and all that jazz... but seriously, can't they just make them easier to use? 🤦‍♀️
 
I'm loving this list! 🚀 Garmin Forerunner 165 is defo my top pick tho, I need something that can keep up with me during those intense sprints 🏃‍♀️ but at the same time, Apple Watch Series 11 is so sleek and stylish, I wish it had more running features 😐 Fitbit Charge 6 is a great budget option tho, just wish it had more customization options 👎
 
I mean, have you guys thought about how crazy it is that we're basically expected to track our every move with these GPS watches? Like, I get it, they're super helpful for runners, but what's up with all the other features that are just collecting data on us? 🤯 And don't even get me started on the battery life - 5-7 days isn't exactly a long time, considering how much we're relying on these things. I'm starting to feel like we're more invested in our fitness trackers than we should be... anyway, has anyone else noticed this trend? 🤔
