I love the functionality and appearance of the 570
on September 5, 2025
Posted by: Madmoose
The 570 was the lowest price watch with the aluminum case. That was an important factor because my previous Forerunner (645) broke as a result of a weak spot at the attachment point of the band.
I am not interested in the music feature but the display and health data is nice. I am a runner and I especially appreciate the seamless interface with my I-phone 11 and the Garmin Connect App. It took me a while to get the watch set up so that the battery doesn’t need to be charged every other day. After making some adjustments to brightness, notifications, and moving completed activities from the watch to my laptop, I have over 85% battery after 2 days without a charge.

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.

I'm enjoying it more than I thought...

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!
Overall, very happy with the 570!

FANTASTIC WATCH
on August 24, 2025
Posted by: Andrea M
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.

First Garmin after Several Other Smartwatches
on August 22, 2025

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.

Love love love

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 bought it about a month ago and I absolutely love it. It motivates me to be more active and helps me keep track of all my activities.
