Cool watch

I love all the features and functionality once I figured it all out, which didn’t take me long. I just wish the step count showed up on the face of the watch like my Swim2 watch. I really like the trim and cool watch band.
Upgrading from 245 music after BT stop playing music, I was trying to decide between the 265 with longer battery life or the 570 with the newer features and speaker/phone connection and happy that I chose the 570.
I get about a week of battery life, with three 3m runs a week with music and GPS and 3-4 hours of tennis daily with no GPS. I'm happy with that.
Love the morning & evening reports! It really makes me look at recovery and sleep as an important aspect of training.
Didn't think I would use the phone connection, but the once or twice a day that I do, it's been useful and convenient.
The smaller 42mm fits nicely on a small wrist, and I love the colors!
I am a long distance runner...I retired my Apple watch with the Garmin Forerunner 570 42mm. I cannot say enough great things about this watch. As a runner, I needed the battery to last a long time and my Apple Watch was not cutting it. My Garmin 570 Forerunner has 11 days worth of battery! Unreal and so awesome. This watch is the best watch for running...hands down. If you want a smart watch, stick to the Apple watch...if you want a active/fitness watch, get the Garmin Forerunner 570! You will not be disappointed.
My only regret with this product is that I didn’t get a Garmin sooner. After only a few short weeks I have already been seeing improvements in my fitness and lifestyle (rest, recovery, stress, etc.). I have already recommended the 570, due to its great new features, to several family and friends.
Finally made the switch to Garmin from Apple and I could not be happier. I love all the features and not having to charge my watch 2-3 times a day is a game changer. The only thing I don’t like is that the glass isn’t sapphire which I think has been pretty standard the past few years.
I was an Apple Watch user before my Garmin and I was a little hesitant to purchase at first. One of my friends had recently purchased one and I was so surprised by the data it gives you after a run or a workout!! Then, I realized I needed and really wanted the Garmin! I pulled the trigger and purchased the Forerunner and I absolutely love it!! I’m obsessed!! I have it on all the time and it’s easy to learn and use! The data that you get after a workout is so informative, but I’m a nerd when it comes to that! The battery life alone is enough to switch and plus the color of the watch is really unique and cute! I will not go back to purchasing an Apple Watch!
