Amazon Prime Day is the ideal time to pick up a new GPS watch, and you don't have to splash out on a top-tier model. Lots of good quality budget-friendly watches have received a price cut too, making them more affordable than ever, and we've rounded up the very best options here.

All of these watches have their own built-in GPS modules, which means they can track your route on hikes, runs, and bike rides without the need to piggyback on your phone. The result? More accurate maps and distance calculations, and the option to leave your handset at home when you head outdoors for a workout.

There are other GPS watches in the Prime Day sale, and some might be cheaper than the ones listed here, but I've stuck with reputable brands that I know you can trust. As the former fitness editor on Advnture's sister site TechRadar I tested a lot of sports watches, and can personally verify that all of these are good quality and will serve you well for years to come.
