The undisputed king of swim gifts. Real-time metrics (pace, distance, stroke rate, HR) projected right in the lens, plus open-water navigation. The 2025 PacePro update makes nailing goal splits stupidly easy. Every triathlete who tries these becomes obsessed in one session.

6. XLAB Torpedo Kompact 500 Aero Bottle
Front-end hydration that actually stays put at 45 mph. Clear computer mount on top, refillable without stopping.
The 2025 flagship. Brightest screen ever, 15–28 days battery, multi-band GPS, full-color maps, and triathlon-specific training readiness scores. It’s the watch they’ll wear 24/7—and brag about at every group ride.
Simple, lightweight, never-twists belt with toggles that actually stay put. Toss their race number on in T2 without fumbling. Bonus: matches the 2XU wetsuit perfectly for that pro coordinated look.
The super-shoe built for tired T2 legs. Speedroll tech + ultra-light foam = ridiculous pop off the bike. Drains water fast and feels like rocket boosters for the run. 2025 colorways are straight fire.
