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).

Great Watch

23 hours ago
purchased this watch after wanting it since it’s release. Prior to this watch I would use an Apple Watch Ultra 2. The battery life on the forerunner is amazing compared to the Apple Watch which needed to be charged every night. I use my watch mainly for tracking my runs and also triathlon training. 10/10 features for what I use it for.

I bought this watch about a month ago, upgrading from the venu 3S and I'm so happy I did. There are so many things I could highlight about this watch, from the AMOLED screen, to the sleep tracking but the thing I love most is the Garmin coach. It genuinely feels like I have a 'coach' when following the running plan - it takes into account my sleep, additional workouts and automatically updates my scheduled workouts. I have also loved the performance score even more, it's allowed me to slow down and really enjoy the training process! First forerunner but definitely not my last!!

Apple Watch has nothing to do with the Forerunner 970.

Well, this watch is very attractive and sturdy, but I had no idea how to use it and there’s no body to help you use it unless you can call them while you’re at work Monday through Friday

I replaced my Garmin Forerunner 935 with the Garmin Forerunner 970 and LOVE it! There are a lot of improvements in the 970, clear readable screen, bright letters and it functions great. The biggest selling feature for me is the battery life of 15 days. I share that information with my other friends who have Apple watches and other devices, and they can't believe the battery life of this Garmin 970 watch. I wear this watch 24/7 even in the ocean/pool. I really love this watch and it does what I want it to do.

I’ve been using the Forerunner 970 for a while now, and it’s honestly a game changer. The GPS is super accurate, heart rate and training data are spot on, and I love how detailed the recovery and performance insights are. The screen is bright and easy to read, even on sunny runs, and the battery life easily lasts through long training weeks. It’s comfortable, lightweight, and perfect for serious runners who care about data and design. Definitely worth it.
