Garmin Vívoactive 4 with GPS ($349.99)
While the Apple Watch with its intuitive daily move goals remains my top recommendation for fitness tracking, if you’re looking for a more serious alternative, turn to the household name in GPS technology. Garmin’s Vívoactive 4 with GPS is an awesome option for tracking long-distance cycling, running, or other outdoor sports. What you lose in simplicity you’ll gain in advanced metrics like hydration, fitness age, all-day stress, and my favorite—body battery score, which tracks your vitals and sleep stats to advise you whether to hit the gym or hit snooze to avoid burnout. Bonus: the battery life lasts up to three days on one charge but will drop down to one with intensive use.

LOCK YOUR APPLE ID WITH A PHYSICAL KEY
Security keys are physical items that can be used to verify your identity when logging into your Apple ID. If you are planning to use security keys, make sure you have at least two. Apple requires you use two, so that if you lose one, you will have another as a backup. At iPhone Life, a brand we recommend is the Yubico Yubikey 5Ci ($75).

WHY I DITCHED MY APPLE WATCH FOR THE OURA RING
Every morning for the past three months, I wake up wearing a shiny gold ring on my right pointer finger. If you look closely, you can see beams of red or green light leaking out the sides as it scans my heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature. I roll out of bed, grab my phone, and open the Oura app.
THE BEST APPS OF 2024
One of the most frequent questions I’m asked by friends and family is “Which app should I download?” With millions of options out there, choosing which apps to use is a task that stumps many people. Will a free version overload you with ads? Is the paid version worth it?
OPINION: I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE WITH APPLE VISION PRO, AND IT SUCKS.
Color me a virtual-reality optimist. Alongside writing for iPhone Life, I’m a video game developer, 3D artist, and sci-fi author. I own a Meta Quest 3 and use it all the time to play games and view 3D models as I work.
