The show goes on at the TechRadar Choice Awards 2021 with our day three winners. Today's awards are in the Health & Fitness and Home Tech categories where the Garmin Forerunner 55 has scooped up the best running watch award.
The TechRadar Choice Awards 2021, powered by Oppo, are a new series of awards for 2021, celebrating the very best tech products and brands we've been using throughout the year.
We have over 50 award categories in 2021 from smartwatches to TVs, laptops to smartphones, cameras to drones. We've spent the week coveting the very best in tech in 2021, and today we're diving into both the Health & Fitness and Home Tech awards.
- MONDAY: Entertainment, TV and Audio winners
- TUESDAY: Network, Gaming and Computing winners
- THURSDAY: Phones, Cameras and Retail winners
- FRIDAY: Hero categories and our Editor's Choice awards winners
We couldn't decide the winners on our own, of course, so voting was split between the general UK public as well as our expert panel of judges for the best possible combination of informed opinions.
Now, we're just as eager to reveal this year's award winners as you are to read them, so here's our picks of the Health & Fitness and Home Tech award winners for 2021.
