Forerunner 970

Garmin Forerunner 970 is the most capable running and triathlon watch Garmin has ever built.

It upgrades the already excellent Fenix-class AMOLED display with Garmin's next-gen Elevate Gen 5 heart rate sensor (now with ECG), a built-in LED flashlight, and a speaker and microphone for hands-free calls and voice commands on the go.

New running metrics — Running Economy, Running Tolerance, Step Speed Loss, and Impact Load Factor — are backed by Garmin data scientists and sports physiologists, giving serious athletes biomechanical depth that no other watch in the Forerunner line has offered before.

The new Garmin Triathlon Coach builds adaptive training plans across swim, bike, and run, while multisport structured workouts support swim-bike-run sessions and brick workouts.

Onboard maps, multi-band GPS, daily suggested workouts, training readiness, endurance score, and the full suite of Garmin training analytics round out what may be the most complete wrist-based training tool available.

Reviews

"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've also loved the performance score — it's allowed me to slow down and really enjoy the training process! First forerunner but definitely not my last!!"
