Product Details

For performance-driven runners, there is Forerunner® 970 — the premium running and triathlon smartwatch with Garmin's brightest AMOLED display, durable sapphire lens and lightweight titanium bezel. Use the built-in LED flashlight for greater awareness when you head out before the sun is up or stay out past dark. Understand your overall energy efficiency with running economy, and see how much you are slowing down when your foot hits the ground with step speed loss (HRM 600 monitor required; sold separately). Running tolerance helps you understand the real impact running has on your body so you can adjust your training to avoid overload and improve. Use multi-band and full-colour, built-in maps plus navigation enhancements to stay on track while you train. Forerunner 970 is ready to go as long as you are, with up to 15 days of battery life in smartwatch mode. If you ever go too far, use the built-in speaker and microphone to make a call from your wrist (when paired with your smartphone).

    The best watch ever

    a day ago
    just simple enough to learn how to use it. love that its display is nice and bright. much more sleek and less bulky on my wrist compared to my fenix 7. overall love it and would totally recommend to anyone triathalon training or just wanting a sleek everyday sports watch. i had my fenix for just over 4 years and i will continue to use it for bigger adventures but i love having this one as my everyday wear. love garmin!

    I wore a Fenix 6S Pro for years and just updated to the Forerunner 970. Love the features, the new heart sensor is great and the additional training data is helpful. Very happy with my purchase!!

    So far has been great to train workouts and the GPS function seems to work just as well as I hoped.

    Generational Leap Forward

    4 days ago
    I brought my Forerunner 970 in Taiwan while on a work trip, upgrading from my 945. It feels like I just gone through a leap in time, the new OLED display is crisp and bright, had to turn down the brightness for my daily usage. Discovering the included speaker was another fun surprise. PROs: Battery life, Flashlight, and OLED display, everything else are just icing on the cake. CONs: Only able to use purchased country's Transportation Card.

    As someone who is an everything apple guy. I’m telling you it’s ok ti ditch your Apple Watch lol. The 970 looks good but most importantly it’s accurate and almost never needs a charge. Anybody who’s serious about their stats needs this watch. You’ll never have to pull out your phone.

    Best Version of the Forerunner yet!

    This is the best version of the Forerunner yet. The band is a significant upgrade in that it's a bit stiffer than in the past and stays in place better. Also love the sapphire screen and titanium bezzle, it keeps the watch from getting dinged and scrated up when you are as active as most endurane athletes are. The buttons are also an upgrade as they feel more crip and you get great feedback when you press them. Well done Garmin!

    Love my Forerunner 970! Got it for Christmas and was able to train the last few weeks with it before my first marathon, loved having to run the marathon and all the stats pre and post marathon to track my recovery! Excited to keep training and get more stats!

    Best Training Features

    I bought this watch three weeks ago after using the COROS Pace Pro, and the Forerunner 970 is on another level. Compared to the Pace Pro, it offers far more advanced training features. This watch is clearly built with triathletes in mind.
