Features

  • Running economy

    Measure your overall energy efficiency while running — using long-term running volume, stride length and step speed loss, which tells you how much you slow down when your foot hits the ground — when you pair your watch with the HRM 600 monitor (sold separately).

  • Running tolerance

    Better understand the impact each run has on your body, and get a recommended weekly maximum mileage so you can keep training effectively without taking on too much.

  • Full-color mapping

    Whether you’re running on city streets or riding densely covered trails, the Forerunner 970 smartwatch provides full-color, built-in mapping — now even more dynamic, intuitive and simpler to follow.

  • Garmin Coach adaptive training plans

    Train for an event, achieve a milestone, or improve your fitness with Garmin Coach training plans for running, triathlon, cycling or strength. Select plans adapt daily for personalized workouts based on your performance, recovery and health metrics.

  • Training readiness

    From the moment you wake up, get a readiness score based on your sleep quality, recovery, training load and more, so you can determine whether it’s a good day to go hard — or take it easy.

  • Built-in speaker and microphone

    Make and take phone calls from your watch when it’s paired to your smartphone. Plus, control watch functions with voice command — or use your smartphone’s voice assistant to respond to text messages and more.

    Amazing watch. Worth it for the coach alone!

    We've been Galaxy Watch users for about 7 years. Recently, my wife took up running seriously and is training for a half marathon with a goal of 2:10. We wanted to find a way to coach her, safely, to that goal time and distance. The Forerunner 970 has everything you could need. Morning and evening reports to sum up your day and set expectations. Advanced running metrics galore. Overall health monitoring. And la pièce de résistance: Garmin Coach. The coach tracks your training and suggests workouts that build you appropriately based on a goal. Her goal is that half marathon and it knows the date. It suggests runs (base, tempo, threshold, sprints, long runs, etc) as well as core strength and stability workouts. It's building her up as it learns about her. Along with that, you've also got courses with full color maps, video guidance for body weight exercises, phone integration for call/text/notifications, a real LED flashlight (excellent for night runs), and a SUPER long-lasting battery. I can't say enough good about it. 100% recommend this watch for anyone with a fitness goal.

    The best Watch Run

    It delivers excellent performance in its algorithms and features—especially regarding the optical sensors—and the battery is very good, lasting long enough for daily workouts.

    Extremely nice watch.

    Way nicer than what I actually needed, but here we are. Lol. Coming from an Apple Watch, it’s literally night and day. Hate that I wasted a couple years and money on an Apple Watch.
