Apple Now Makes the Best Running Watch

Wired  

Every extant fitness tracker collects a massive amount of biometric data in an effort to help active people improve their athletic performance. However, even casual runners should benefit hugely from the ability to study their vertical oscillation, create custom workouts with their own distance and time intervals, or pace themselves against their own routes. These new additions to its already robust fitness features might make the Apple Watch the best sports watch ever. Arm Swinging Let’s start with the three newest features: the ability to measure vertical oscillation, stride length, and ground contact while running. The watch’s ability to track these aspects of running mechanics is not unique—the Garmin running pod has been able to measure vertical oscillation for years—but if you own an Apple Watch, you will no longer need to buy a separate device and download a separate app to get this data.
