Garmin® Forerunner® 970, Premium GPS Running and Triathlon Smartwatch, AMOLED Display, Built-in LED Flashlight, Carbon Gray DLC Titanium with Black Case and Black/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'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.

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.

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.

Fire running watch. This is my First Garmin and its packed full of features and customizable watch interface for runs, gym workouts etc. the music downloadable from spotify and light are cool features along with answering phone calls etc. tracking sleep is cool i basically dont even need an oura ring lol.

Fitness tracker:Best running watch. Better accuracy on treadmill runs and so many utilities that really help to track the progress.

Replaced my Fenix 6S Pro bc my paces and tracking were not precise.This beast is a boss and works PERFECTLY.Tracking, pacing in the city, burbs, paved paths, and trail running in cell dead zones.Stop looking. Buy it.40+ yo woman, professional, mom, runner.The yellow on inside of the white band is subtly sassy. The watch has a GREAT clean professional vibe that I’ve worn to work (as a business owner), board meetings, trail running, while cleaning out the garage. This thing looks great after all of that.

I really like how light and comfortable the 970 is compared to Enduro and Fenix watches. It's also very full-featured. 5-day battery life with AOD is okay, and it charges quickly. (15 days without AOD.)The AMOLED display looks great indoors in medium-to-bright light, and outdoors if it's overcast. In active mode, it's okay-not-great in bright sunlight. Both active and AOD can be a bit too bright in the dark. The one real fault here is that the AOD practically disappears in bright sunlight.The touchscreen is extremely overly sensitive at times. A slight accidental brush of the screen with my sleeve can start rearranging my glance widgets! Sometimes it's so hypersensitive I just have to disable the touch screen for a bit. Everything is fine with the touch screen disabled. This is the biggest flaw, and I hope it can be fixed with software updates. I used the Enduro 3 for a few weeks and its touch screen was just fine, not hyperactive like the 970.Aside from the glitchy touch screen and the AOD that's invisible in bright sunlight, I like the 970 and am keeping it. In some ways I like the Enduro 3 better, but it's just too big for comfort. The comfortable 970 wins.
