There are so many, what do you use? I mainly want to track my miles. I used my phone with run keeper app but now that my runs are reaching the 15 mile range, it kills my battery on my phone.
There are so many...how do I figure out which one is thr best?

since you want to run I suggest heading toward garmin. They have much better running features and GPS than fitbit. I think fitbit still rely's on hooking to your phones GPS.
Lots of different levels within garmin, so it all depends on what features want. You can compare models on their website.
I really like the reviews this guy does:

Although I love my Fitbit Charge 2, I agree with 4legs that you would be happier with the features of a Garmin.0 -

I’m happy with the Charge 2 as well and it has a run tracker. I only do a weekly 5k at this point though so I’m not sure how much different it would be using it for more regular distance running0 -
Another recommendation for the Garmin Forerunner series. And also for dcrainmaker's website for thorough, comprehensive reviews.1
