Forerunner® 970, Premium GPS Running and Triathlon Smartwatch, AMOLED Display, Built-in LED Flashlight, Carbon Gray DLC Titanium with Black Case and Translucent Whitestone Band

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!

I’m not a crazy ultramarathoner, but i workout three times a week. I have health issues, and want to monitor my sleep and overall health. I want to stay in touch with work and get other alerts, but I need more than 50 minutes of battery life. ( Crap, I’m late for a meeting. And I forgot the milk. Again. ) I’ve found there are few watches for those needs, basically what most of us want. Right now your choices are a really expensive Apple Watch Ultra with terrible battery life or no smart watch features and great battery life. (Come on COROS! No calendar?! For reals?!). Garmin has owned the middle ground for a while now, but they have become increasingly expensive. The Venu 4 and Forerunner 570 are waaay too expensive at $550. The Forerunner 970 seems expensive but you get a lot - it’s essentially a plastic Fenix 8. Great battery life, lots of features, huge ecosystem, good software support. Over the past week, I’ve been to the boxing gym three times, saw dips in sleep quality during a stressful time at work, keep up with my idiot friends’ test messages, and can use the watch to alert me when I’m on call. And it still has 60% battery life. It fits my needs well. If you want a computer on your wrist - this isn’t the watch for you. If you run Ultramarathons across the artic - not for you. If it’s on sale and you are an average guy (or woman) like me, go for it. Thanks for reading!

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.

I updated from the forerunner 235 to this one and I love it. The battery last more than 10 days, I use it in exercise mode at least 3 times a week over an hour. Love all the watch settings. Amazing quality!

that's amazing Garmin. ecrã very brightness, beautiful watch faces. I recommend

I was concerned about making a switch from Fitbit to Garmin and in price shock, but it has been 2 months with my 970 and I LOVE it! The options are many and I am still learning to use more each week, but I like it. I love stats. This watch provides me with LOTS of stats and tracking from health to fitness for me. The battery life is a what caught my eye on this model, but the stats are beyond what I imagined. Garmin has challenges available. Each month I have been joining quite a few of thier challenges and that is very motivating for me. If you are on the fence about purchasing this, I truly don't think you will be disappointed once you pull the plug. This will last me for years to come.

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.

I selected the new version of this product, but I’m not completely convinced the unit I received was actually new. During setup it defaulted to Greek instead of a U.S. configuration, which made me question whether it had been previously opened or used. I also noticed a small dent on the case right out of the box. The device works, but these details affected my confidence in its condition.

Microphone and speaker are basically useless the calls work ok sometimes otherwise the voice assistant feature is useless and will crash the watch. So if that’s the only upgrade you’re interested in then just get an Apple Watch. The other aspects are so awesome though. Hopefully the voice assistant and stuff gets fixed

Es tal como está aparece en las fotos

A mi novia corredora le encantó por toda la información que da, en comparación con un forerunner viejito. Los materiales y la fabricación son impecables. Está precioso el reloj.

Bin bis jetzt super zufrieden - guter Akku , viele Funktionen, etc 🤗

Excellent watch. Great battery! A lot of features!
