Nice little watch

I love the watch! I wish there was a way to completely deactivate the microphone and speakers, as I don't use those features at all. Additionally, some of the apps I want to use are not yet compatible with this watch. I understand it's not Garmin's fault, but perhaps they could encourage developers to update and optimize the apps for better compatibility.
I have mild carpal tunnel on my wrist and the 570 was a bit too heavy and bulky. I did try other straps and it did not work for me, I had mild pain on my wrists. The 256 s is much better on my wrist, I feel lesser pain and can were it for longer time without discomfort. Much thanks to the 18 mm wrist band and lesser weight. Software is decent. Battery life is ok.
Great watch. There are so many options you can choose from in customizing it. My favorite option is being able to listen to music without having to connect to my phone via Bluetooth with Bluetooth headphones.
Bought this recently and it is the best garmin watch I’ve owned so far. The price is worth it for the amount of features you get!! The features is has for running and many other things are top tier! The new AMOLED display is amazing and the battery life on this watch is awesome even with the new display!! If you’re a runner looking to get a high quality watch the Garmin Forerunner 570 is a great choice!!
