Bozeman, MT (PRWEB) November 06, 2013 -- The best fitness gifts list for 2013 has been compiled by the testers at the Heart rate Watch Company for the Holiday shopping season.

BEST RUNNING WATCH

Hands down the Garmin Forerunner 620 is the best running watch for 2013 according to the Heart Rate Watch Company staff. "This watch is light (1.6 oz.), thin, touchscreen, high resolution and offers unique features that no other watches have," says Rusty Squire, president of the Heart Rate Watch Company. He adds, "Vertical oscillation, or bounce, and foot ground contact time are completely unique to this watch, no others have it."

BEST ALL-ROUND GPS WATCH

The Suunto Ambit 2 Sapphire is the company's top pick for a rugged all-round GPS watch that works for virtually every outdoor sport. "This GPS watch has a real sapphire crystal and has apps for running, cycling, triathlon, skiing and even sailing," says Squire. He adds, "It was our top overall GPS watch pick for 2013 of all watches tested."

BEST BIKE COMPUTER

Garmin Edge 510 is the bike computer used by the Garmin Pro Team and many top professional riders. "This computer gets all cycling metrics, produces great maps and even uploads your data in real-time via Smartphone all through a touchscreen display," says Squire.

BEST WALKING WATCH

Garmin Forerunner 10 was voted the best walking and hiking watch for 2013 by the HRWC test staff. "This watch gets very accurate distance and pace with GPS and produces great post-exercise maps," says Squire. He adds, "It's easy to use and lightweight."

BEST IPHONE HEART RATE MONITOR

The Polar H7 Bluetooth chest strap delivers solid heart rate data and the Polar Beat app has very accurate calorie computation. "Polar is the best with heart rate and accurate calories, hands down," says Squire.

BEST ACTIVITY BAND

The new Polar Loop is the first ever activity band to deliver real-time heart rate right on the face of the band. "This band tracks steps, activity, sleep quality, is waterproof and even delivers heart rate," says Squire. He adds, "It has all the competition beat."

"These are the finest new fitness products available on the market for 2013, we guarantee it," says Squire.
