Premium build meets flagship performance.

The Forerunner 970 isn’t just another GPS watch—it’s Garmin’s flagship answer to serious runners who demand cutting-edge tech without compromise.

This premium running and triathlon smartwatch features Garmin's brightest AMOLED display yet, paired with a lightweight titanium bezel and scratch-resistant sapphire lens that can handle whatever your training throws at it.

High-end Features for Serious Athletes

What sets the 970 apart?

It introduces advanced features like ECG capability, a built-in LED flashlight for early morning or late-night sessions and advanced running metrics including Running Economy, Step Speed Loss and Impact Load Factor. The new Elevate Gen 5 heart rate sensor delivers medical-grade accuracy, while the speaker and microphone let you take calls mid-stride.

Navigate Anywhere, Train Everywhere

With full-color built-in maps, dynamic round-trip routing, and multiband GPS for superior positioning accuracy, you’ll never lose your way. The watch handles multisport transitions automatically, switching seamlessly between swim, bike and run segments without missing a beat.

Intelligence That Adapts to You

Battery life delivers up to 15 days in smartwatch mode, while Garmin Coach training plans adapt to your performance and recovery. Whether you’re chasing a PR or exploring new routes, the Garmin Forerunner 970’s comprehensive suite includes wrist-based running power, personalized daily workout suggestions and training readiness scores.

Positioned between the Forerunner 965 and Fenix 8, it targets serious athletes who want premium running features without outdoor adventure overkill. This is precision engineering for runners who refuse to settle.
