Overview
- Running economy
Measure your overall energy efficiency while running — using long-term running volume, stride length and step speed loss, which tells you how much you slow down when your foot hits the ground — when you pair your watch with the HRM 600 monitor (sold separately). - Running tolerance
Better understand the impact each run has on your body, and get a recommended weekly maximum mileage so you can keep training effectively without taking on too much. - Full-color mapping
Whether you’re running on city streets or riding densely covered trails, the Forerunner 970 smartwatch provides full-color, built-in mapping — now even more dynamic, intuitive and simpler to follow. - Garmin Coach adaptive training plans
Train for an event, achieve a milestone, or improve your fitness with Garmin Coach training plans for running, triathlon, cycling or strength. Select plans adapt daily for personalized workouts based on your performance, recovery and health metrics. - Training readiness
From the moment you wake up, get a readiness score based on your sleep quality, recovery, training load and more, so you can determine whether it’s a good day to go hard — or take it easy. - Built-in speaker and microphone
Make and take phone calls from your watch when it’s paired to your smartphone. Plus, control watch functions with voice command — or use your smartphone’s voice assistant to respond to text messages and more.

Customer reviews
Write a reviewWORTH THE UPGRADE!! - I had the 735XT for years and finally upgraded to this new Forerunner 970 !! DEFINITELY WORTH IT, longer battery life & the accuracy has been better
Great for runners. Treadmill tracking iffy - This is obviously the Cadillac of fitness watches. It tracks a lot of metrics and workouts very well, but sometimes the treadmill distance tracking can be inaccurate even with constant calibration. The UI takes time to get used to transitioning from an Apple Watch and you have to get yourself familiar with the Garmin Connect app.
Great Smartwatch - Loving the new watch with all the bells and whistles!
I would recommend 100 - I got this garmin right before a marathon and it didn’t disappointed me. Love it very much!
Significant upgrade from my previous Garmin watch - This watch is such a significant upgrade from the Vivo 4 Music I am replacing. The display, touchscreen and battery life are just a few things I am really enjoying about this watch.
Battery lasts for well over a week - Previous Apple Watch user for years and I am so glad to make the switch to Garmin! The battery life alone is worth it. This thing weighs a fraction of what the Apple Watch does. I started running again and the Garmin tracks so much more. It also gives me more of a break from the all of the “smart watch” distractions while still keeping me in the loop with call, text, and email notifications.
Love the features, like the flash light. - No complaints every thing is great. I l8ke all the features.
Great purchase - I love this watch! Still learning all the ins and outs. It takes maybe an hour to charge but it stays charged for a good week. My chat and teams messagea go to it and i track my steps sleep etc
Garmin 970 nice but needs quicker performance - So far its a great fitness tracker. Garmin gives you a lot of health stats but there have been some bugs. It missed a 4hr nap/sleep I took and that was very disappointing. My Samsung ring recorded the nap but the Garmin didn't and because it missed it, Garmin connect thought I wasn't getting enough sleep and gave me a low energy score. The google assistant a doesnt work well. Also the lagging is hard to work with especially since most high end devices improve their performance each year. The battery life is great of course because it's Garmin but I usually have to reset the watch if i see the battery draining faster than normal. This usually fixes any issues. Nice watch but there are so many cheaper and possible better options out there.
