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).

This watch has become more important than a phone to me, love that i dont need my phone for runs but still have emergency alert ability if something happened. The flashlight, I didnt think I owuld use, but now use all the time to take my dog out at night. I also not just use the alarm on the watch so I dont have to use my phone at night or first thing in the morning. Really a game changer for me and its super lightweight. Favorite watch I've ever owned.

I bought this to train for NYC Marathon and I love it. Ease of use…touch screen…size of face…the brightness…and the countless data features make this watch a favorite of mine. 5/5

A major upgrade!

I bought this about a month ago after my Apple Watch died during a sprint triathlon with a full battery to start. This is such an upgrade. Not only is the battery life amazing and so much better than what I was used to. The features and feedback from my runs, bike rides, and other workouts is much more detailed. It’s allowed me to step up my training completely. Not only that, but it looks great as well!

Great watch ... but expensive

13 days ago
I had a Forerunner 955 Solar, also a great watch, and I upgraded it as a birthday gift to myself. While the old MIPS display is fantastic for battery life, I've found it difficult to read in certain lighting conditions. The OLED display on the 970 is better in many circumstances but worse in others. Overall, though, it's a big improvement for readability in most circumstances, especially when reading text messages sent to the watch. I've also found that the GPS tracking and heart rate monitor are better than my 955 Solar. My typical use cases are running, rucking, biking, hiking, lifting/calisthenics, and sleep tracking. This is a great watch for all of these activities. That said, the price could be better.

Very Happy

I recently made the switch from 6+year AW user to the Garmin 970. Overall I am very happy with the change. I am a regular long distance runner (26.2+) and don't why it too me so long to make the move. The fitness tracking and metrics are unrivaled. I love the battery life too. I wish the watch face options were better (and didn't cost extra), but I've accepted that.
