Best bang for the big bucks.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought Forerunner 970 after returning Forerunner 570. If you have the money buy this one over 570. 570 is missing too many features that come on the 970. Only $200 more for the 970. Don't waist your money on 570. Forerunner 970 does it all and is light weight, great battery life and a flashlight. No bainer.

Apple to Garmin
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Switched from an Apple Ultra 2. Loving the Garmin when it comes to fitness tracking. As a runner and someone dabbling into triathlon this is a game changer when it comes to feedback during workouts. Also love the battery life compared to the Ultra 2.

Great upgrade in the Forerunner series
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This watch meets and exceeds expectations. The flashing light during activities is a great safety feature though does require more frequent charging. The screen on this watch is bright and crisp, showing message previews including pictures. This is my third Forerunner watch and I'm hooked on the latest.

I would recommend this to a friend Garmin Forerunner
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Love it
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
