Keep in touch while you’re keeping fit. Pair this sports watch with your iOS device to receive audible or vibration alerts of incoming calls (complete with caller ID), e-mails, texts and calendar events. It also delivers push notifications from many third-party Apps. To save weight and bulk, the Link Runner piggybacks on your phone’s GPS to display GPS-related fitness metrics including running pace and distance. That Bluetooth connection also lets you switch up your motivational tunes without hauling out your phone. You can even trigger an alert on your misplaced phone, for more running and less digging down the back of the sofa.
