Garmin Forerunner® 170 Music Fitness Watch

I love it, its extremely easy to use. I would definitely recommend this watch to all my friends and family

I’ve been using my forerunner 170 now for about 3 weeks. I got it as an entry level getting into running type purchase coming from the Apple Watch Ultra. Overall I like the product, but I’m giving it a 3 solely because tracking runs on a treadmill is not accurate in any way. Now I realize it’s difficult to track distance on a treadmill but every informative video I’ve seen says there’s ways to adjust the distance after running a 1.5miles on treadmill and that’s just not the case. I’m sure my experience will be much different when I do trail runs but something that was so easy to track on my Apple Watch is now so frustrating. I do like being able to see the zones for my heart rate which is something you don’t get on Apple Watch so that is nice as I am learning to run within a good rate.

I am very happy with the Forerunner 170 Music. It absolutely does everything I need it to do for running and I can listen to music. I use it for strength training as well and it does a great job automatically detecting the beginning and ending of a set.

I bought this after my forerunner 645 music died after many years of use. This is a great update that feels a lot fresher and have some nice new features. My headphones also stay connected way better to this than the old one, that used to disconnect at times. The range for bluetooth seems greater. Very happy!

I am really enjoying the watch. The faceplate is so much brighter and easier to read. I also appreciate the few new/updated features. Most recently using the Instinct 2, there is a bit of a learning curve with determining my way around the 170. However, I like the smaller size and profile.

I brought this about 3 weeks ago and it has been great. I've tried multiple running watches and nothing keeps up with me like Garmin Forerunner. I really like that they have the morning and evening report. The colors are always fun.

I purchased this watch almost right after it came out. I’ve been very happy with the running metrics and customization it has. Great entry-level running watch!

I LOVE this watch. Does everything I need stat wise to help me get stronger as a runner. I’m still a beginner to mid runner so I was looking for additional help on pace targets and metrics. I deducted 1 star because I don’t think I truly needed the music component so I could have saved money had I know this doesn’t integrate at all with apple. I don’t want to buy a Spotify membership. I also typically carry my phone with me anyways so I can stream music from my phone.
