    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).

    Top-tier performance watch for serious athletes The Garmin Forerunner 970 is an exceptional upgrade, offering ultra-accurate GPS, advanced training metrics, and a bright, responsive AMOLED display. Battery life is outstanding even with heavy use, and the added recovery and readiness tracking features are genuinely helpful. It’s lightweight and comfortable enough for all-day wear, with a sleek design that doesn’t scream "sports watch." If you’re serious about running or triathlon training, this is easily one of the best tools out there.

    Cliff notes

    a day ago
    Ive had the Forerunner for less than 2 months. It replaces my Fitbit and Samsung watch.. Im hoping it will help improve my walk/run program. There is a learning curve with this watch. I find myself in areas I dont want to be in, it's quite difficult to get back to the home screen, to see the simple time. I wear my watch to bed and red light came on, after pushing all my buttons there was a blu triangle. I was able to power down watch, turn it on again viola normal time. I need the Forerunner cliff notes.

    Best watch I have ever owned

    I lost my Forerunner 955 while kayaking. This presented the opportunity for a new watch that was not needed prior as the 955 is a great watch. I looked at all Garmins and it came down to the Finix 8 and Forerunner 970. The 970 won out on features I wanted, weight, and lower price. I am thrilled by this thing. Super bright display, many new features (Flashlight is awesome), and long battery life. I recommend the Forerunner 970 highly.

    I bought the Forerunner 970 after having the 965 for 2 years - I love it! The flashlight is great for night runs and the upgrades from the 965 are awesome. I've had 5 Forerunners over the last 11 years (since High School XC) and they keep getting better! Perfect for my gym workouts, track workouts and of course, long distance running!

    Upgraded my Garmin forerunner 255 to the 970 and absolutely love it! The display is night and day compared to my forerunner and I love the flashlight! So happy I upgraded!

    So much customization

    8 days ago
    I finally upgraded my trusty old FR55 to the FR970 and I'm happy with my purchase so far. The customization options can be a little unintuitive and daunting, but if you put in the effort to learn where everything is and set up the watch how you want it, it becomes quite easy to use. I'm enjoying the new health and performance metrics that weren't available to me earlier. The GPS and HR accuracy also seems to be a big improvement. I was worried about the battery life but this seems to last just as long if not longer than my old FR55.
