Outdoor Watches & Walking GPS

Technology such as an outdoor watch, a GPS for walking, or an activity tracker can be super useful tools for helping you get around when you're hiking, while tracking vital statistics such as your steps and heart rate. A hiking smart watch can also be paired with your phone so you can receive phone calls and get notifications while you're on the move.

Walkie talkies are also useful to pack for your hike. These two-way radios help independent hikers stay safe and groups of hikers stay connected when exploring some beautiful walking destinations.
