It doesn’t matter if you’re working out from your living room or your local gym, training for a marathon, or doing your first 5K, here at Tom’s Guide, we believe in helping readers find the products that’ll help them reach their goals.
The Tom’s Guide Fitness Awards 2027 is a chance to celebrate these products — from the running shoes that help someone finish with a shiny new PR, the fitness tracker that leads someone to make healthier decisions, to the new fitness app that has transformed home workouts.
Our awards recognize innovations in the fitness space, admirable efforts in safety, and the brand making waves in terms of sustainability in the fitness world. We’re excited to celebrate the companies striving to make a difference in the lives of consumers.
Home training
All the gear you need for getting fit without the gym — from resistance bands and dumbbells, to smart scales, treadmills, and exercise equipment.
Golf
From rangefinders to game trackers, AI-powered launch monitors, simulators, and apparel, these are the products every golfer needs to know about. These are the brands making the ‘perfect round’ more attainable.
Running
Runners come in all shapes and sizes, and our running awards appeal to everyone from beginner to athlete. We’re celebrating the best running shoes, watches, headphones, and apparel.
Winter sports
The best gear is the kind you don’t notice — it’s the kind that disappears, so you can focus on the sport. Our winter sports awards celebrate the smart goggles, apparel, and gloves of the season.
Hiking
The best hiking equipment earns its weight in your pack. We’re celebrating the smartwatches that double as safety tools, as well as the smartest boots, most intuitive mapping apps, and wearable tech.
Recovery
Every athlete will know performance is only as good as the recovery that follows it. From compression boots and wearable sensors to sliders every runner will reach for post-marathon, this is how to recover in 2026.

The future of AI is moving fast — and at Tom’s Guide, we’re putting the spotlight on the products and services truly shaping what comes next.
The Tom’s Guide AI Awards 2027 are officially open for nominations. If your AI product is changing how people work, create, shop, or live — now’s the time to enter.
AI is more than just chatbots, so we're going to be giving out awards across a number of categories. Everything from image generators to robot vacuums and wearables has AI in it, and we want to recognize those companies who make the most effective use of the technology.
Your home is probably the most important space in your life, so whether you’re looking to automate your morning routine or cultivate a backyard oasis, Tom’s Guide is here to help you find the products to make home life more seamless and sustainable.
The Tom’s Guide Smart Home Awards 2027 are now officially open for nominations. From the smart locks that give you peace of mind to the robotic mowers that keep your lawn pristine while you relax, we want to celebrate the innovations that are redefining modern living.
A smart home is more than just a collection of gadgets; it’s an ecosystem that works for you. That’s why we’re looking for everything from energy-efficient smart thermostats and intuitive lighting systems to advanced irrigation controllers and outdoor security setups.
Our awards recognize the innovations in the traditional homes space and standout achievements in the expanding smart homes market. We’re excited to celebrate the companies striving to make a difference in consumers' lives.
We’re tracking down the latest and greatest home entertainment gear.
My favorite aisle in any electronics store is the TV wall. Looking at how every model looks lined up next to one another just brings me a real sense of joy — despite the majority of them being set to a Dynamic picture mode. (Give me Cinema mode or give me death!)
In an effort to re-create the spirit of the TV wall in the online shopping era, Tom’s Guide is officially opening up our TV & Audio Awards to nominations. If your product can outshine — or out-play — the competition, submit it to our team for consideration.
In the coming months, we’ll highlight the cream of this year’s crop across multiple categories including TVs, speakers, headphones, earbuds and AV accessories. We’ll be selecting multiple entries in each category for awards, so there’s more than one opportunity to win.
