Must-Read: Watches for the Workout

One of the downsides of the smart phone revolution is the apparently loss of the wrist watch. If you can get the time on your phone, why even both with actually getting a watch and sticking one on your wrist? And it sucks, because the wristwatch was one of the greatest and most fashionable pieces of technological machinery of all time. That said, because of the phone revolution, wristwatches have had to adapt, by which we mean, offer a bit more than just the time and date when you go to your wrist to look at it.

One of the ways that they’ve adapted, actually, have been to go the workout route. They’ve upped their game by offering things to the user, such as monitoring heart rate, how intense you’re working out, and other various timing mechanisms in order to let you know when you’re done enough reps. It’s just a matter of picking the right one for the kind of workout person you are. So today we’re heading on over to Men’s Health where they have a listing of a few of the best watches that will help your workout. For example:
