I love it
on May 22, 2026
Posted by: Varela
I loved the color, the AMOLED display, the brightness, and the size—but above all, I absolutely love it for running and strength training. You can manually log your reps and weights, and as for rest periods, the watch notifies you when your break is about to end. For running, it tracks your laps and your pace for each one; it also features maps and GPS tracking. I’ve actually only been using it for a short time, but I already love it. It monitors your sleep, your body's recovery, and offers a multitude of other functions that come in handy if you engage in multisport activities. I still have more features to discover—I haven't been using Garmin for very long, as I recently switched over from Apple.

I love my Garmin!

I have had this watch for about three or four weeks and I absolutely love it. I previously had an Apple Watch Series 3 it’s the only watch I have ever had and this watch is significantly better. I would’ve switched so much sooner if I would have known.

I absolutely love this watch, even though I accidentally bought the 42mm version. It's super accurate, looks great, and disappears on my wrist!

My husband surprised me with this for my birthday a month ago and it's amazing. Previously had the forerunner 255, what a huge improvement. The display, especially the color is amazing and it's so much lighter.

Garmin Forerunner 570S Review – Three Weeks In
on June 10, 2026
Posted by: Garmin 570s
I switched to the Garmin Forerunner 570S from an Apple Watch and have been using it for about three weeks during marathon training. Setup was quick and easy, and the watch is incredibly lightweight and comfortable, especially for those with smaller wrists. I wear it 24/7 for sleep, HRV, and recovery tracking.
GPS locks on almost instantly and has been accurate on roads, trails, and the track. Heart rate tracking has been much more reliable during runs than my previous watch. My favorite features are HRV, Body Battery, Stress Tracking, Sleep Tracking, and Training Readiness, which provide useful insights into recovery and overall health.
The display is bright and easy to read in sunlight, the touchscreen is responsive, and the buttons work great during workouts. Battery life has averaged about four days with daily running and sleep tracking, which is a significant improvement over my previous watches.
My only wishes are the ability to reply to text messages and having the time of day displayed on every workout screen. Otherwise, the watch has everything I need.
Overall, the Forerunner 570S is an excellent choice for runners, marathoners, and triathletes looking for advanced training and recovery metrics in a lightweight, comfortable watch. I am very happy with my purchase and would absolutely recommend it.

Very comfortable

Great watch , I got the 42 mm even with a large wrist it’s so comfortable to wear 24/7 as my primary wearable! The only thing I’d say is it would be nice to have some of the updated running workouts that are available on the FR 170 ?
