Several Android smartwatches with Wear OS have been launched this year, but overall our favorite is the Samsung Galaxy Watch5. As the best smartwatch for Android, the latest generation Galaxy watch comes with a new skin temperature reader, a more scratch-resistant display and a longer-lasting back. The Wear OS3With Samsung skin offers more perks, including better interoperability with Google Assistant and other Samsung devices.

The Garmin Forerunner265 has won the top spot as the Best running watch at the Toms Guide Awards thanks to its bright, beautiful AMOLED screen and advanced training metrics. I was impressed that this watch has a lightweight, easy-to-use design with a 15-day battery life and a training preparation score. The watch usually has a lot of features reserved for more expensive watches in the Garmin line and comes in two different sizes — the Forerunner265 has a 1.3-inch display This is a great little watch to have on your wrist, whatever you're training.

The NIU Kqi3Max is the best electric scooter because it features a powerful motor (900W peak), excellent range (up to 40 miles) and a stylish appearance. It carried us wherever we wanted to go — hills don't matter — and the big headlights, 9.5 inch pneumatic tires and double disc brakes took care of our safety. The scooter app also allows you to customize the ride, lock and unlock remotely. Ultimately, this scooter was as much fun to watch as it was to ride. That's why it won the 2023 Toms Guide Award.

RadPower The RadRunner3Plus is an almost perfect electric bike that can do everything. Its versatile design can be customized with a wide assortment of seats, bags and baskets so you can tailor it to fit your exact needs whether it's bringing your kids to school, grocery store, or make a trip to both. And its powerful motor, low center of gravity and large tires and suspension forks make all those trips very comfortable, too.

For shoes to win the title of "Best Running Shoes" from our experts, they must be versatile, durable and comfortable. Nike Pegasus 40 ticks these boxes. It was a close call between this and Nike's Invincible Run 3. But when it comes to it, Pegasus proved to be more versatile during testing. It is overly elastic and has a good amount of reactive foam on the midsole to feel light-weight, snappy on the feet without leaving an unstable feeling on the run. You can wear it for marathons, your first 5K and almost everything in between.

The Yogi Bare Paws Extreme Grip yoga mat is the best yoga mat you can get right now. Our in-house PT loves this yoga mat so much, she teaches all her classes about it now. How about it for approval.

The design features include alignment cues to keep properly planted legs during class and thickness without compromising on large floor contact, which means you can sleep for stretch sessions without losing balance during reverse.

Our fitness editor used Runna for her latest marathon and crossed the line with a 14-minute PR.

When it comes to supreme home gym equipment, Peloton still offers one of the top-connected home workout experiences, and after miles of testing, Peloton Tread Still Top tread is expertly designed, with a neat footprint on the arm and convenient speed and sloping wheels. In addition to that, the magic of the Peloton is in its class and hundreds of live or on-demand workouts to choose from. There's no question about it — it's an expensive investment, but if you use a treadmill regularly, we don't sugar coat it yet for most gym members

We do: The second generation Wattbike Atom is an expensive equipment, but if you're looking for your workout, it's the best air conditioner around. Designed for elite athletes, this is like having an equinox gym in your living room. It tracks your performance, power, and technology with every pedal stroke, and you can use the app of your choice on the bike so we don't have a built-in screen or additional ongoing costs unlike Peloton on how realistic the riding experience was.
