The latest additions to the Garmin lineup, the Forerunner 70 and 170 are two of Garmin's most feature-rich and price-conscious offerings to date. The Forerunner 70 is the perfect entry-level running watch, while the 170 builds upon its predecessor with software improvements to establish itself firmly in the smartwatch category.
Forerunner 70:
The Garmin Forerunner 70 is built for runners who'd rather spend their time training than deciphering data. It covers the essentials—GPS tracking, wrist-based heart rate, recovery insights and adaptive training guidance—while introducing an AMOLED display to Garmin's most accessible running watch.
Forerunner 170:
The Garmin Forerunner 170 is built for runners who want clear training data without over-complication. It combines GPS tracking, wrist-based heart rate, recovery insights and Garmin’s core training tools in a lightweight design, finished with a bright 1.2" AMOLED display for easy readability during activity and everyday wear.
Forerunner 170 Music:
The Garmin Forerunner 170 Music builds on the core 170 platform with onboard music storage, letting you leave your phone behind while training. It keeps the same focus on accessible running tools, combining GPS tracking, wrist-based heart rate and Garmin’s training features on a bright AMOLED display.
