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).

    Probably would have been fine without a titanium bezel because it still scratches

    Garmin Forerunner watch 970

    3 days ago
    I bought this Garmin 970 Forerunner a gift from my wife for Christmas . I am a retired High School Coach and Teacher.. One GREAT SMARTWATCH. There is NO comparing this watch to the Apple Watch 10 or 11. The GARMIN WATCH 970 is 100% BETTER than the apple watch. Plus I have owned Apple Watches 4,6, and the 10. They do not do what the Garmin watch 970 does. It check my heart ❤️ always. The Apple Watch is so inconsistent PERIOD. NOTHING BUT REALLY BAD PROBLEMS with Apple Watches. I recommend any Garmin Forerunner watch but if you want the BEST then buy the Garmin Forerunner 970 you will be Super Happy with your watch. I use it in the gym, or walking or just everyday life YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. I promise you will be very satisfied and Happy with your GARMIN Forerunner 970 smart watch.I promise you that.i am 74 yrs old. And love my watch. You can talk from your watch Garmin 970 text, swim with it shower no button to close watch to keep safe . No problems like the Apple Watch. And GARMIN STANDS BEHIND IT products.

    Love it, use it everyday since I got this a few months ago. No weird glitches and lots of great features. This is my 3rd garmin watch and just came from a fenix 5 that still works but was looking for more updated form and applications.

    My last watch

    Had previously just been using Apple Watches due to direct compatibility. Battery life with them was always a complaint of mine. I would have to leave it on the charger overnight. Saw the reviews on the 970 and decided to try it. Received the watch and it was at 70% out of the box. One week later and it was still at 30% and that's with an hour workout logged on there every day. The connect app does great tracking sleep and also making training plans for me as well. Best part about that is that it's free! Can't recommend enough.

    Great Fitness Tool & watch

    Coming from Galaxy watch 5 pro the Garmin Forerunner is so much more capable. The fitness information you get blows the Samsung out of the water. The insights from Garmin connect is really good and integrates my cycling workouts so much better. Battery life on the 970 is about 5 days before getting down to about 30 - 40%. I actually connect the 970 to my indoor cycling trainer to record workouts. So far I am really impressed.
