The Garmin Forerunner 970 is a premium multisport GPS watch designed primarily for runners and triathletes. It features a bright, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal AMOLED display and is available in three color options. The watch is lightweight and offers an upgraded design with a built-in flashlight, a feature not previously available on Forerunner models.
Key highlights include advanced sports tracking and training analytics, such as running economy estimates, running tolerance, and step speed loss measurements—though some of these require pairing with an optional chest strap. The watch also provides extensive health monitoring, including heart rate tracking, pulse oximeter readings, stress tracking, sleep analysis, and daily activity metrics like steps, calories, and active minutes.
For navigation, the Forerunner 970 offers color maps with routable capabilities, allowing users to create and follow custom routes directly on the device. It supports multi-band GPS for enhanced accuracy and includes features like ClimbPro for route elevation analysis.
Additional smart features include smart notifications, music storage with offline playlist support from major streaming services, NFC payments via Garmin Pay, and voice assistant integration thanks to a built-in microphone and speaker. The watch is water-resistant to 50 meters, making it suitable for pool and open-water swimming.
Battery life is up to 15 days in smartwatch mode and up to 26 hours in GPS mode, with slightly less runtime when using music. The watch is customizable through apps, data fields, and watch faces, and it supports connectivity with various fitness accessories via ANT+ and Bluetooth. Safety features include automatic incident detection and the ability to send alerts to emergency contacts.
