About this product
What's In The Box: Garmin Forerunner 170 Music Smartwatch (Whitestone with Whitestone/Cloud Blue 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 Music is the top-tier variant in Garmin's new entry/mid-range running smartwatch lineup — delivering everything in the standard Forerunner 170 plus the freedom of phone-free music and the convenience of Wi-Fi connectivity. Download songs, playlists, and podcasts from Spotify, Amazon Music, and Deezer directly to the watch (premium subscription required), pair with wireless Bluetooth headphones, and leave your phone behind on every run. Wi-Fi enables fast activity uploads, software updates, and music syncs without needing a connected phone — a meaningful everyday convenience that the standard Forerunner 170 lacks. At $349.99, the 170 Music is the most feature-complete watch in the Forerunner 70/170 family. The 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen with 390 × 390 pixel resolution and traditional 5-button controls provides a vibrant, responsive interface with smaller bezels than the previous Forerunner 165 for a modern, refined look. The 43mm fiber-reinforced polymer case is lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear, with 5ATM (50-meter) water resistance for pool and open water swimming. Up to 10 days of battery life in smartwatch mode keeps you going for well over a week between charges, with approximately 7.5 hours in GPS-only mode while streaming music and 6.5 hours in all-systems GNSS with music. Garmin Pay contactless payments let you stop mid-run for water, a snack, or transit fare and pay from your wrist. The barometric altimeter provides real-time elevation, vertical speed, total ascent/descent, and floors climbed — essential for trail runners and hilly training routes. Open water swimming adds GPS-tracked distance, pace, and stroke data beyond pool-only tracking. Power meter compatibility (ANT+/Bluetooth, including Garmin Vector and Rally), Garmin Cycling Coach adaptive training plans, and smart trainer control make the 170 Music a genuine multi-sport platform. The full suite of premium training tools inherited from Garmin's advanced Forerunner models is onboard: Daily Suggested Workouts, Quick Workouts (select time and intensity for an instant personalized session), Training Readiness, Training Status, Garmin Coach adaptive training plans with new run/walk and lower-volume options, wrist-based Running Dynamics (cadence, stride length, ground contact time), wrist-based Running Power, Race Predictor, and VO2 Max. Additional sensors include a compass, gyroscope, and thermometer. Health and wellness monitoring runs 24/7 via the Elevate V4 optical heart rate sensor: heart rate, HRV status, Sleep Score, Body Battery energy monitoring, stress, respiration, and Pulse Ox. Morning Report and Evening Report deliver personalized daily briefings. The Meditation app provides guided breathing and mindfulness sessions, and the Spoken Watch Face audibly announces the time. More than 80 built-in sports apps cover running, cycling, swimming, hiking, rucking, strength, yoga, boxing, team sports, and more. Safety features include LiveTrack, Incident Detection, and Assistance alerts. Smart notifications, Google Maps directions (Android), and Connect IQ compatibility round out the feature set. The Forerunner 170 Music is available in four colorways: Black with Black/Amp Yellow band, Whitestone with Whitestone/Cloud Blue band, Teal Green with Teal Green/Citron band, and Red Pink with Red Pink/Mango band. Available to order May 15, 2026.
