This watch is awesome for the things it is capable to do for a runner, such as myself. I've moved on from a Samsung Watch 5(Samsung fan), to this and I have not been disappointed! I'd say it is pretty pricy, and this is my first time ever owning such a watch. I had picked this(2nd best) over Garmin's Fenix 8 (Their top watch), due to me not really wanting to pay a little extra for the extra features such as the Solar Charging or Longer battery life, because I don't mind charging my watch ever so often and I am not outside THAT much for it to make a difference. At least 2 hours at most for my training. The watch will last me a long enough (~10 to 14days) without charging and I am happy with that versus me having to charge my Samsung watch like 1.5x a day which was getting annoying. The quality of the watch is amazing, the Glass is supposed to be stronger than the Gorilla kind and the material of the bezel makes it look so premium. The charging speed is also pretty good, I don't realize how fast it charges but I know it's quick (~1hr) from 0 to 100. The sensors it has seems pretty good and capable of tracking my daily results. It is keeping me in shape. Overall I recommend for the runners or just anyone who likes to keep track of things or a good, lasting watch! ... show more

    • A worthy successor
Color: Black
Nicest Forerunner I've ever worn. Coming from a Forerunner 655 Solar. The screen is beautiful. When always on display is enabled, there's a meaningful battery life hit, but the battery charges quickly. Quick satellite finds, even around tall buildings. Definitely worth the upgrade, and does all the smartwatch stuff as well. ... show more

    • You get what you pay for!
Color: Black
I've tried 2 rings and 4 watches. This Garmin watch is not cheap, but you get what you pay for: The watch is solid and durable. It feels like it should last several years. The app (Connect) is fantastic. Huge detail, analysis, reminders, and recommendations. Most importantly, all the measurements are *correct*, especially the two meta numbers I care most about: fitness age and VO2max. If you are a runner, the Garmin ecosystem is optimized to analyze and suggest improvement routines. The maps are excellent. Overall, it's a premium watch and ownership experience, well worth it if you want correct data and plan to use it to improve. ... show more

    • The perfect smart watch
Color: Black
Review Image by Ben Busch Ben Busch
Perfect smart watch. Lighter then it big brother the fenix 8, but with all the similar functions. My main reason for this was the flashlight as I work construction and it comes in handy every day. The sapphire glass holds up really well so no need for a screen protector. The oled screen and brightness are a nice upgrade. As for battery life I usually find myself chairing it once a week which is fine cause it charges up fast. ... show more

    • excellent garmin!
Color: Purple
AMAZING.. keeps you on track with you goals. amazingly accurate for sleep, and work outs. GPS works great, just a few seconds before you track your activity. Off and on Apple/fitbit user over the last 20 years, and this has both beat hands down. the sleep metrics are excellent.

    • Upgraded from FR 945 – Worth It!
Color: Black
Review Image by B. B. B. B.
I recently upgraded from the Forerunner 945 to the FR 970 as part of my preparation for the TCS New York City Marathon, and so far, I’m impressed. The AMOLED display is a game changer - bright, crisp, and easy to read even in direct sunlight. It makes glancing at metrics during workouts feel much more natural and engaging. The overall resolution and responsiveness also feel like a noticeable step up from the 945. While I haven’t had the chance to fully test the mapping/navigation features yet, I’m planning to explore that soon, especially for long runs in new areas. Everything else - from the daily suggested workouts to recovery metrics - feels more refined and helpful for structured marathon training. So far, it’s been a solid investment and exactly the kind of upgrade I was hoping for. ... show more

Best thing I could have purchased if you’re deciding on the forerunner 965,570, or 55 or even the fénix 8 just get the 970 it’s the best of all of them you have all the tracking you need and metrics but if you’re looking at just battery life you won’t be able to tell the difference I still just plug in this watch for 30 minutes and easily have a full 14 days of battery it easily it syncs up to my phone super convenient and the sleep tracking has me have a better sleep pattern ... show more
