Forerunner® 570, 42mm, Advanced GPS Running and Triathlon Smartwatch, AMOLED Display, Training and Recovery Features, Raspberry Aluminum with Translucent Bone/Mango Band

First time Garmin owner. I have no affiliation or relationship to either Garmin or Apple. If you primarily use your watch for running, Garmin is a must. The number or features and metrics are amazing. I really enjoy the body battery and sleep tracking to go along with all of the running stats. Overall I’m very happy with the purchase and could recommend the watch. The other perspectives to be aware of. Apple is still king when it comes to UI and software. It does have a bit of a Mac vs Windows or Apple vs. Android type feeling when using it. Getting started wasn’t as intuitive but still fairly easy. Apple has some nice safety features for hearing and health kit. Great Smart watch. Again though for running and fitness, Garmin is a perfect match because of its targeted features and watch battery life. I’m loving Garmin coach, it makes it easy to train without putting in a ton of work to know exactly what you should be running each day. I did need to change the Event type for my benchmark run to training to get it to start working though. Without figuring this out I ran 3 benchmarks in a row haha. the other issue I’ve seen is it appears all the music apps for Garmin are not great - you’ll most likely want to load your own music if you want that. I’m sure they’ll fix it over time though TLDR: if you are trying to get better at running, just buy it! Totally worth it.

I love my new watch! I had an Apple watch for a long time, and wanted something that allowed me to use it with sports - but this time, with accuracy!! I'm getting much better results already. I also LOVE that it only requires charging every 9 or 10 days! So much better than having to charge every...single...night like I did with the Apple Watch! Okay, one more thing... I was told when considering upgrading my iPhone that if I wanted it to synch with my Apple Watch, I'd have to get a new one! That was extremely annoying and I decided at that moment, that I wanted a watch that would not be part of an Apple racket!

Overall excellent quality and definitely not too heavy! Fits my 6.5” wrist really well. Battery life is great and I especially appreciate the multi-band GPS, especially when running in dense downtowns or forests. It is a bit pricey, but overall the 5th gen HR sensor works like a charm and definitely feels good on the wrist. Only wish that either navigation or ECG came with the watch for the price. If sizing is a concern, I recommend people look at the 42mm variant if your wrist size is less than 6.25” overall.

Upgraded from my Garmin Forerunner 245 Music and am loving it. Got the 47mm with purple bezel, which is snazzy—and a nice change from the typical all black. Yes it’s more expensive but I like the better sleep monitoring, the evening and morning reports, and the better synchronization with my Garmin Edge 840 to keep both devices (running and cycling) tracking training load and readiness.

I love love love this watch. It does a great job connecting with my phone. I like the functionality. It has all the activities that I do, run, treadmill, weightlifting, yoga etc. it's super accurate with the GPS and has a calibration option for the treadmill. The battery lasts about a week if I'm using the activity feature every day. I bought it on sale so the price was pretty co.oarable to a Samsung but the battery in the Garmin lasts longer than my husband's Samsung.

I bought this for my husband and he loves it! It fits his wrist well and looks really good on him. He found a great watch face and loves how long the battery lasts, which is even longer than my Garmin watch, which lasts 9 days. The only downside was that the charging cord did not work so he had to use mine to charge his battery. Amazon, however, was really helpful and have me a partial refund credit and even researched which cord I could purchase to replace it since we didn't want to send the watch back. The refund credit more than covered the replacement cord, which should be delivered today. As for the watch itself, it's truly worth buying!

I’ve used the watch for a week already including two long runs, intervals and so on. This (570) substitutes a garmin 245 whose battery life was waning. However, the 570 has surpassed all my expectations: for instance, it connects much faster to the GPS and is significantly more accurate with distance, heart rate and pace. I did a few runs with both watches and the 570 was a clear winner throughout. The altitude mapping is also awesome and is a feature that the 245 lacked. I really like that visibility is never an issue even with bright noon daylight. I haven’t used the music or voice command settings, but so far this is my best garmin ever and well worth the price.

I love it. Very happy swiching fron apple warch to thisone for running.
