Runs Android Wear 2.0, Tight integration with Strava,
Heavy and uncomfortable, Poor battery life, Buggy, Slow, Expensive
The New Balance RunIQ is an Android Wear-powered smartwatch for runners, but it's big, heavy, and doesn't offer significant advantages over a dedicated running watch...

Strava pairing, Music controls, Comfortable for its size
Only tracks running and biking, Poor running interface, Requires use of two apps, Short battery life
The RunIQ is branded as an “innovative collaboration” among Android Wear, computer chipmaker Intel, and Strava, but it falls far short of those high expectations. It offers the same standard smartwatch features as the Polar M600 and the Moto 360 Sport, on...
Abstract: Fitness watches – they're what many wearables have migrated towards since the inception of the technology, as they can provide us useful information and metrics such as heart rate, step count, and now even reps from your weights. While we've seen a steady...
Android Wear watches are becoming more autonomous, and that's great news if you like the idea of a smartwatch that works as a proper, marathon-tracking sport watch. The New Balance RunIQ is all up for the standalone concept, but is too dated in other resp...

Disappointing display without auto brightness, Unreliable heart rate measurements, Buggy performance, Currently outdated Android Wear, So-so battery life
The New Balance RunIQ has too many shortcomings to be the ultimate running smartwatch including unreliable heart rate monitoring and a raft of bugs...
Simple and solid design, comfortable to wear, waterproof
Slow performance, inconsistent GPS locking
The long and short of the RunIQ is that it's not a bad bash at a fitness watch, but it's a bit too plain to be an everyday watch. There's nothing remarkable or anything that truly stands out about it. We wouldn't choose it as our go-to fitness watch or ou...

Sleek, matte black design, Useful Sträva integration, Light and comfortable to run with, Bright, vibrant display
GPS battery life not great, No Android Wear 2.0 (yet), Questionable heart rate data, Laggy software
On paper, the New Balance RunIQ is a sporty Android Wear smartwatch that has it all. An attractive and not-too-chunky design, Strava integration, built-in GPS and heart rate sensor. In reality, it feels like a missed opportunity for New Balance. Granted...
