If you want to improve your running form, the Lumo Run Shorts are perfect. The built-in sensors provide real-time feedback on stride length, cadence, and posture, helping prevent injuries and ensuring efficient running. Of course, smartwatches that track various sports data, like running and cycling, like the Garmin Forerunner 945 or Polar Vantage V2, are also good options.

For that purpose, the WHOOP Strap 4.0 is popular. It allows you to see not only movement and intensity, but also sleep, recovery, and fatigue at a glance. The Oura Ring is also small and simple, but it tracks sleep and activity data quite accurately, making it comfortable to wear.

For outdoor sports, I recommend the Suunto 9 Peak. It’s a durable smartwatch, so its sensors accurately track your movements for things like running, hiking, and swimming, and you can even check detailed performance data. Its long battery life makes it ideal for long-distance activities.
