OVERALL HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE OF THIS PRODUCT. I DID HAVE TROUBLE GETTING IT STARTED AND LINKED WITH THE CONNECT APP AND HAD TO CALL INTO SUPPORT FOR HELP 3 TIMES TO GET IT CORRECTED (FOR WHICH IT WAS SUCCESSFULLY PAIRED AND LINKED).
I bought this upgrade a few weeks ago and have loved it. Went from the Forrunner 255s to Forrunner 570. As an avid runner, Hyrox competitor and CrossFit athlete this watch has what I need.
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 ?
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.
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.
