    The Garmin Forerunner 970 is a top-tier running and triathlon smartwatch that sets a new benchmark for Garmin’s performance lineup. It’s packed with cutting-edge tracking, advanced training tools, mapping, and smart features — ideal if you’re a dedicated athlete seeking every advantage. That said, the premium price and feature complexity mean it’s best suited to serious runners and multisport athletes rather than casual fitness fans.

    Great watch with exceptional performance and health features. However with this price range missing things are LTE , passive ecg tracking and many other advance health related features if you compare this with Samsung , Google and Apple watches. With this price it's not about only sports but personal well being tracking should be considered as priority.

    I upgraded from my venu 3 and this watch has so many added features and amazing battery life. However I dont think its worth the extra $250 from the forerunner 965 besides the flashlight and added brightness.
