Forerunner 970

I had been lifelong garmin wearer and (amateur) competitive runner for almost 20 years, but i am in the maintenance phase of life (I still run / race). But for me, my watch is becoming more of a lifestyle watch / heart rate monitoring tool. I would like to have closer analysis of any heart irregular

I think if you’re okay sacrificing the torch, the Forerunner 965 could be the best fit for your use. It’s almost half the price of the new 970, has great battery life, and still gives really solid fitness/running data. The 970 does have the latest Gen 5 sensor, but for the most accurate readings, yo

Forerunner 745, 955 and now a 970 but haven't raced with it yet. Multisport every time. Who has time to stop and activity, save it, find and start a new one? This is a race, not a workout. I just hit the lap button at timing belts as I don't trust the auto transitions either.

Garmin is more sports watch. If you have notifications turned off I would recommend you Garmin. Look for Forerunner 570 or 970 which are designed specifically for runners or Enduro which is designed for outdoor sports and battery optimization. Main reasons to Garmin switch: battery life physical but

yo pasé del 965 al race 2, pero echaba de menos demasiadas cosas de garmin, y he vuelto con el fr 970

Im similiar age and stats to you. My last apple watch was the AW3. I moved over to Garmin because the battery life was killing me. I do a lot of overnight relays, and it was annoying having to charge it during the race. Another factor was back during the AW3 era, you couldn't program workouts into t

I just got the Garmin Forerunner 570 and love it. If you want maps the 970 might be a better fit. However I went with the 570 because of my smaller wrist size.
