The Garmin Forerunner 970 is the top-end smartwatch for runners that packs an impressive amount of features. You get a large AMOLED screen, an impressive battery life of up to 15 days, a lightweight and durable design, along with a price tag that’s now easier to afford.
This model has a retail price of $750, which is on the pricier side. The good news is that you can now score a substantial discount on this model that knocks $100 off. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen for the Forerunner 970, making it a great time to buy.
Everything you need
While the Forerunner series is aimed at runners, it still packs everything you need to get better results from your workouts. So, if you’re someone that lifts weights, hikes, swims, rows — this thing can handle it. The watch can go anywhere you go, offering impressive durability thanks to its titanium frame, fiber-reinforced polymer, and sapphire lens.
The watch can track your body and how it reacts throughout the day, offering details into your health and fitness metrics. It’s not just about your activities though, it can also keep an eye out on your sleep quality and stress levels to provide a better overall picture. So, a bad night’s sleep might mean you skip today’s workout for better recovery.
You also get impressive location data, along with maps for the city and less traveled areas. The Garmin Coach can help you reach your fitness goals, and there’s also animated workouts on the watch, just in case you want to try something new. Of course, since this is a smartwatch, you can also stay connected, with calls and notifications coming to the wrist.
There’s also a built-in flashlight just in case you need it, along with Garmin Pay, which will allow you to check out without your wallet on you at supported terminals. As stated before, this watch can really do it all. Naturally, the price is on the higher side, coming in at $750. However, the $100 discount does make it easier to pick up if you’re interested. We don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
