UTMB 2026 Watch Battle: Amazfit Wins the Race, Garmin and COROS Own the Wrists

At the 2026 edition of the 174km UTMB around Mont Blanc, Ben Dhiman won the men's race in an Amazfit Cheetah 2 Ultra, finishing in 18:16:29 for the race's first sub-19-hour time and Amazfit's second straight UTMB win. Ruth Croft withdrew before the women's start, letting Blandine L'Hirondel take the title wearing a COROS APEX 4. Wrist share told a different story: among the men's top 30, Garmin held 37%, COROS 33%, Suunto 20%, and Amazfit just 7%, while Polar and Apple vanished from the leaderboard entirely. On GPS accuracy, Suunto tracked closest to the official course distance, Garmin again overstated elevation gain, and Amazfit logged the shortest distances of the field.
