Whether you’re running mountain trails or riding waves, you need a high-performance watch that makes your life easier.

Tide information for 230 beaches worldwide? Check. Notification every time you complete a mile? Check. Reverse GPS that automatically takes you back to your start point? Check, check.

Yes, Men’s Fitness went on a quest to find the high-performance sport watches, and if you heed our advice, you’ll never have to interrupt an intense training session for technical difficulties (like resetting your lap time or recalibrating the GPS) again.

And best of all, with one of these little wrist-gadgets taking such a heavy load off of your other concerns, you can put more energy and attention into what really matters—that is, getting the most out of your workout.
