What's In The Box: Garmin Forerunner 170 Smartwatch (Black with Black/Amp Yellow Band)|Charging/Data Cable|Documentation|Deco Essentials Charging Dock for Garmin Venu 3|Deco Essentials 2-Pack Screen Protector for 1.2" (30.4mm) Diameter Garmin Watches|Deco Essentials Silicone Dust Cover for Garmin Watch 3 Pack --- The Garmin Forerunner 170 is a GPS running smartwatch that builds upon the Forerunner 70's foundation with critical upgrades for runners and athletes who want to do more — adding Garmin Pay contactless payments, a barometric altimeter for precise elevation tracking and floors climbed, open water swimming support, power meter compatibility, Garmin Cycling Coach, and additional sensors including a compass, gyroscope, and thermometer. At $299.99, the Forerunner 170 bridges the gap between entry-level and mid-range, delivering a remarkably complete training and lifestyle tool in a lightweight, vibrant AMOLED package. The 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen display with responsive touch and traditional 5-button controls provides the same vibrant, easy-to-read interface as its sibling — bright, saturated colors, deep blacks, and crisp readability in all lighting conditions. The 43mm fiber-reinforced polymer case with smaller bezels than the previous Forerunner 165 gives the watch a more modern, refined appearance while maintaining the lightweight comfort and 5ATM (50-meter) water resistance that runners demand. Where the Forerunner 170 distinguishes itself is in the features that matter for runners ready to level up. Garmin Pay contactless payments let you stop for a mid-run coffee, water, or transit fare and pay directly from your wrist — no phone, no wallet required (with a supported bank and payment network). The barometric altimeter provides real-time elevation data, vertical speed, total ascent and descent, and floors climbed throughout the day — essential metrics for trail runners, hikers, and anyone who incorporates hills and stairs into their training. Open water swimming support extends beyond pool-only tracking, giving triathletes and outdoor swimmers GPS-tracked distance, pace, and stroke data in lakes, rivers, and the ocean. For cyclists, the Forerunner 170 adds power meter compatibility (ANT+ and Bluetooth, including Garmin Vector and Rally), Garmin Cycling Coach adaptive training plans, and smart trainer control — transforming it from a running watch into a genuine multi-sport training tool. The built-in compass and gyroscope enhance navigation and motion-aware features. The Forerunner 170 shares all of the Forerunner 70's premium training and health features: Daily Suggested Workouts, Quick Workouts, Training Readiness, Training Status, Garmin Coach adaptive training plans (including new run/walk and lower-volume plans), wrist-based Running Dynamics (cadence, stride length, ground contact time), wrist-based Running Power, Race Predictor, VO2 Max, Body Battery energy monitoring, HRV status, Sleep Score, Morning Report, Evening Report, and 24/7 heart rate monitoring via the Elevate V4 optical sensor. More than 80 built-in sports apps cover virtually every activity. Safety features include LiveTrack, Incident Detection, and Assistance alerts. Smart notifications keep you connected, and Android users get Google Maps turn-by-turn directions. Up to 10 days of battery life in smartwatch mode (19 days in Battery Saver) and up to 14 hours in All-Systems GNSS mode provide multi-day runtime between charges. Connect IQ support adds downloadable watch faces, data fields, and apps. Available in Black with Black/Amp Yellow band and Whitestone with Whitestone/Cloud Blue band. $299.99 MSRP.
