Garmin- Forerunner 970

Great watch

Even it’s a great watch and has great features, the watch has an operational issue, once I started to sweat the screen goes blurry for about 2min or more then goes back to normal.

From Fenix 6S Pro-40 female, professional

Replaces my Fenix 6S Pro which served me well for years until it didn’t (gps got wonky) and was out of warranty and settings tinkering didn’t fix the jumpy recordings (location and pace). This beast of a watch works like a charm. It has all the bells and whistles, all of which are FABULOUS. The most underrated feature is the light. I thought it was totally lame, and use it several times per week. I got the white watch with yellow peakaboo band. I was thought it might look funky, which I was ok with. It looks GREAT for daily wear to work- I like to keep my looks professional and manicured. It doesn’t really show its funky vibe to anyone other than me. I am ROUGH on my gear- I wear my watch 24/7 except charging. I wear it running, throwing around the kids soccer gear, through home projects, trail running. It looks gorgeous. The white still is white and not grimy.

Great watch

Amazing watch I upgraded from ASW to Garmin. Battery life is amazing I use the watch for 15days without charging.

So far, so good!

I've had my FR970 for just under a month; having upgrading from my FR735XT. Firstly the upgrade to a AMOLED screen is dramatic. The contrast, black levels, colors, and brightness are awesome. The user interface is solid, but I find there are too many submenus. A GUI with more shortcuts would make navigating a bit easier. The sheer number of metrics this watch tracks are impressive, although I personally do not see the need for so much data. The build of the FR970 seems better than my old FR735XT, but I find it too early to judge durability. So far, so good!

Gorgeous graphics

This is a great watch with some more upgrades than I had on my Forerunner 955. I, did notice, the battery life doesn't even make it 15 days.

Forerruner 970

compré este reloj pensando que era duradero pero no es así, lo usé apenas dos semanas y de la nada sin haberlo golpeado fuerte ni nada el aro de titanio “súper resistente” se quedó rayado como un simple hierro barato, la verdad mucho que desear de este reloj, mejor comprar algo con más protección, ahora tengo un reloj de apenas 20 días con una peladura como si fuera un reloj de 10 dólares, una pena.

Forerunner 970 - Absolutely Fantastic!

I purchased this device over 2 weeks ago and am very impressed with all of the features. The screen is amazingly clear and easy to read. Garmin's website was extremely helpful and setting up the data screens with my preferences. Very happy that I spent the addition money for the 970.

Top-tier performance watch for serious athletes The Garmin Forerunner 970 is an exceptional upgrade, offering ultra-accurate GPS, advanced training metrics, and a bright, responsive AMOLED display. Battery life is outstanding even with heavy use, and the added recovery and readiness tracking features are genuinely helpful. It’s lightweight and comfortable enough for all-day wear, with a sleek design that doesn’t scream "sports watch." If you’re serious about running or triathlon training, this is easily one of the best tools out there.
