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).

  • Garmin's brightest AMOLED touchscreen display with button controls, a lightweight titanium bezel and sapphire lens, plus a built-in LED flashlight for greater awareness in the dark during early morning or late-night runs

  • Up to 15 days of battery life in smartwatch mode and up to 26 hours in GPS mode for a more complete picture of your training and recovery

  • 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

  • Confidently run any route by using full-colour, built-in maps and multi-band GPS; with dynamic round-trip routing, you can break off the path, and your watch will develop a new route that will get you the same mileage

  • ECG app can record your heart rhythm and check for signs of atrial fibrillation

  • Multisport auto-transition detects sport changes between swim, bike and run in multisport activities so you can focus on the race and let your watch take care of recording splits

  • Get wrist-based running dynamics, including cadence, stride length, ground contact time and more, plus wrist-based running power, which gives you a continuous measurement of how much power you are applying to the ground

  • Built-in microphone and speaker let you make and take phone calls from your wrist when your watch is paired to your smartphone and you can even use your smartphone's voice assistant to respond to text messages and more

  • Using indicators such as HRV status, recent exercise history and VO2 max, get insight into training effectiveness with training status and know whether you are training productively, peaking or strained

Not so Great for the money

2 days ago
I've been using it for a few weeks now but honestly i haven't been able to tweak it to how i want it to work for me. it seems a bit complicated to get the pace pro or specific alerts i want. ive called support a few times and even though they've helped me at the moment and make the necessary adjustments it still not quite to what i want when i do end up testing it on runs. I almost feel its a waste of money.

I’ve wanted the 970 since I got into triathlons, but I couldn’t afford it. Now that I have it I am very happy I waited. All the features are helpful but also there are just so many compared to lower forerunners so it’s getting used to them. Overall love it

I’ve had it for almost a month and I love how big and clear the screen is! I love the advanced features such as the health status and running metrics it provides. There are still a lot of new features I am finding and tailoring to my lifestyle. Definitely worth the purchase!

The best Garmin I’ve had (previously I had an Enduro 2 and an Epix 2 Pro). It is light but has a large and very bright screen. It has all the features I need - I mostly run, swim, and ruck, so I plan to stick with it for a while.
